davhern Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I think for most of the public/world, the "announcement" of this happened when Billboard reported the reunion and Coachella last week. They weren't obsessing over getting official confirmation like we were/are. That's why I think there wasn't much of a ground swell over this.

kanudo19 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 What is 'technically gifted' anyway? And what use is it when none of them have wrote a good song of note? Somebody feeling a little butthurt? Listen mate, Slash has more soul/feeling/ability on the guitar than you, Fuckithead or Bumblefuck will ever have, so if you don't mind, keep your butthurt feelings to yourselfAnd what is a good song ? You may say that ingmar bergman, jim jarmusch and many other directors have never made a good film since they're films are relatively unknown while fucks like spielberg, bay, lucas and now JJ Abrams break box office records but they're films are shit compared to some of the unknown directors.Popularity and "catchyness" means jack shit. And what is soul ? Playing a basic song you hate just to cash in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Great news.That said, I'm annoyed no one else remembered the guy on this who claimed he was hiding under a desk at Universal illegally recording 'IRS'. Surely someone remembers that?Fuck sake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loseyourillusions98 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I hope Adler is involved in someway shape or form....It feels like he keeps living vicariously through 85-90 in even some of his recent interviews. Hopefully he isnt on suicide watch if he isnt included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipm787 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Wow Kanudo is way more butthurt than I ever imagined.. I don't recall mentioning any films my friend, or catchyness. What are you even doing on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettytiedup88 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm not 100% this is going to get the lebel of buzz certain people think. It will. For two reasons:1. I'm sure it will continue to grow if they do some press, but I think they've missed an opportunity already to set this reunion news alight by confirming the Coachella appearance in sucha dilluted way. Changing the social media profile photos, 1 tweet from Axl, Duff and Slash simply posting the same festival artwork on their social pages, no press conference, no press release, no interviews, no statement, no lineup confirmation. Something like this really should have had a huge PR campaign behind it, articles ready and waiting to be published, live conferences, prerecorded video content etc etc. That is how you take over the media and get things truely trending on a global scale. Multi channel strategy. Instead they've let this announcement squeek out like a mouse fart without truely even owning it.2. I don't think the there are quite the same volume of casual GnR fans anymore. Back in 2000, it could have been huge, heck, 2006 even. Away from our brilliant mygnr bubble, there are a surprising amount of people who never even knew they broke up, thought they disbanded due to death, interested fell through with the farce of the ever changing line up etc etc. I just don't think they have the attention power they once did, all band members have been touring in one capacity or another for so long, it's thinned out the interest someone. Of course I want this to be a news dominating thing, trending globally and set fire like a band of this quality should, but I do feel the above are two reasons why it might not generate the buzz we thought or hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash Guitarist Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Just came back to this forum for the first time in many years after hearing about the reunion. All I can say is that I'm super excited, I've been waiting far too long for this. I can remember the days of this forum discussing whether or not Chinese Democracy would ever be released... oh how far we've come Edited January 5, 2016 by Slash Guitarist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacdaniel Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think the lack of buzz is for a few reasons. The rumours built up slowly over the last few months. To many casual fans, that confirmed the reunion in their minds.For the hardcore fans, the cancellation of Kimmel, lack of confirmation on the line up or other details, Axl's taco bell tweet and rumours of a fight with Matt Sorum seem to have tainted it all a bit.Axl still hasn't publically acknowledged Slash. I think until people see them smiling together and doing some media, they won't get their hopes up.I'm a huge Guns fan and havent posted anything about the reunion on social media or discussed it with friends.I'm excited, but nervous at the same time.When I see them on friendly terms with my own eyes i will more excited.

Estranged1 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Who cares about a national/media "buzz".....i could care less if it's all over the media or only talked about on here. Buzz or not Axl n Slash are back to show the rest of the rock n roll world how to kick ass! I could give a rats ass if it's all over the media or buried deep.
