KeyserSoze Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/matt-sorum-pleads-the-fifth-on-question-about-reunion-of-classic-guns-n-roses-lineup/Asked this week by Meltdown of Detroit, Michigan's WRIF 101.1 FM radio station for his thoughts on a GN'R reunion, following reports that long-estranged singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash had recently repaired their relationship, Sorum said: "I would have to plead the fifth on that, basically, because I just don't know. So I would say I plead the fifth. [Laughs]"Edit: Audio interview here: Reunion talk starts around 4:20...in my opinion he truly doesn't know just from the way he said it Edited October 8, 2015 by KeyserSoze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Is it Axl, Slash and Duff determining the future or is it Axl, Slash, Duff, and Izzy? The classic/UYI drummers seem to not be in on what is going on as muchI love the contrast between Matt and Steven. Matt just coolly says 'no clue', and Steven just says whatever is on his mind. I think they complement each other well and it'd be awesome to see the two work together if a reunion happens Edited October 7, 2015 by Caught_in_a_Coma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If a reunion was in the works I imagine that firstly Axl would decide what works for him then several years later Axl, Slash and Duff figure out what works for them as a trio based on what Axl eventually decided on an individual basis. After this point the others are informed/hired.It could still be a long way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt13 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ok, so the list of people who definitely don't know what's going on is as follows:Steven AdlerRichard ForusMatt SorumThe Entirety of the Free World.Did I miss anyone?When someone 'pleads the 5th', referring to the 5th amendment of the United States, especially when asked a light hearted question, it generally means they DO know something... but they're not at liberty to tell you or anyone what they know. At least not at the moment. He's in the loop. To what extent, that's anyone's guess. But he knows something is in the works. Especially laughing after saying he pleads the 5th. You could translate it to: "You can bet your bottom dollar I know something or am a part of that, but the chances of me saying anything to you about it is NIL". So I bet my bottom dollar on a reunion being in the works. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 adler is on suicide watch.If Axl, Slash, Sorum, Duff and other GNR members are able to work things out with one another and do some sort of reunion, I can't imagine they won't be able to work something out with Adler. Even if it's just a few shows or a small role. And while Adler might protest that, I think he'd be okay with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while Adler might protest that, I think he'd be okay with itI don't think the problem is so much that they can't work something out with Adler as much as its they don't want to work something out with Adler. His history proves him to be quite the liability despite the fact that on the surface he's a nice dude who can still drum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is what he said after that.It's almost like people just read the title and didn't read what the actual quote was.I read the actual quote. I read the whole article. And I'll re-iterate... when someone says "I plead the 5th"... that means they're more-than-likely guilty of knowing the answer to the question being asked, but because they have a Constitutional right in the United States to keep their mouths shut unless a grand jury demand their testimony, they will. It doesn't matter what they say after that... they've already incriminated themselves at that point and aren't fooling anyone. When I hear someone say "I just don't know" after saying "I plead the 5th" I actually hear: 'Shit... I just incriminated myself... I better try to clean this up really quick and say I don't know anything.'Don't be naive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
