Tom-Ass Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) For all the people that say no one outside this board cares who is in the band aside from Axl and Slash.. Here are all the comments from the Ultimate Classic Rock article on who the rest of the band is. Copied from facebook and I didn't cherry pick replies. Anyting other than the five above-mentioned musicians will come as a disappointment, and something I would never pay to see. The five originals- no more, no less...that's what I'll pay my hard-earned money for.Like · Reply · 60 · 18 hrs17 Replies · 11 hrsMike McFarlandMike McFarland This is NOT Guns n' Roses and it's why I gave up on these guys a long time ago ... everything Axl Rose is involved in is a farce.

I saw the original lineup in 1987 and 1988 and I'm glad I did, but I wouldn't spend a dime on them anymore, because it would just lead to another disappointment.Like · Reply · 17 · 18 hrs8 RepliesBrent StrawderBrent Strawder So, let me see if I got this right, some former members of Guns and Roses will be playing at Coachella with the Axl Rose Band.

jekylhyde Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Well, boo hoo...It's gonna be Axl, Slash and Duff on the same stage first time since 1993. If you're not satisfied with that, stay home. Simple as that. This re-grouping is a dream come true, from a fan's point of view. In my opinion anyway. I mean, who would have thought it would ever happen? And yet, people are still bitching? I don't care about that kind of negativity.Of course everybody are entitled to their opinions, but... I don't know. It's easy to bitch about things on the internet.

Changes Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I went in to the Canter Banter section and read that in 2007 when Marc was interviewing Izzy for Reckless Road, he was very much into the idea of getting the band back together for a reunion, saying those times were the best musically. Why has that comment been so overlooked? Is it THAT unlikely that Izzy will soon be announced for Coachella? I think that even if he wasn't interested in doing a full tour it would affect public opinion quite a bit to have him there for the first gigs, I think it would legitimize the whole thing for most people. This whole circus on stage though... Someone's gotta go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Nash Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 They can bitch all they want on the internet. Ppl went to gigs of the old lineup, the uyi lineup, the nugnr lineup.. and everything that got the Guns N Roses name on it it will live to tell the tale. I saw everything in the last couple of days. From ppl bitchin about Dj Ashba leaving, from ppl bitching about there's no Izzy, ppl bitchin about Slash, ppl bitchin about Myles Kennedy... etc.WHO THE FUCK CARES.

I could be wrong.What most fans will care about is Axl, Slash and Duff to a lesser exstint on the same stage together under the GNR name. Slash and Axl are GNR to alot of people.

What's the point of this thread?UYI was a natural progression. They players were replaced one by one, the new ones became part of the band one by one at a time when the band was at its absolute height. They were part of a legendary, huge tour when all the cameras were pointed at the band. That is by no means the same thing as Slash shaking hands with a bunch of players that have no legacy and start rehearsing with them Edited January 8, 2016 by Changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
