Nick85 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 If the confirmation of the reunion has taught us anything, it's where there's smoke, there's fire. Awesome!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Slash should wear that hat on stage.. The Tophat stapled to his head has become a bit ridiculous.. Just bust it out during the encore or something.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't make the top hat famous after GnR. That top hat is iconic, most people believe it to look pretty cool, I'm sure there's some that think it's lame or gimmicky though. Limiting his performance? he usually head bangs and it falls off and that's that for the hat. Anyway... it's just a hat, who cares right This story came out in the team rock article (worth a read if you haven't already), hoping it's true but as they say more than a grain of salt may be necessary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercool Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 As we’ve learned with most Guns N’ Roses “news”, any reports that don’t come from the band itself should be taken with a grain of salt. So although the latest report may be true, you should probably throw in some extra grains of salt this time, as it comes from a former publicist of the band. Former GNR publicist, Arlett Vereecke, has exclusively told Classic Rock that Slash has been working on new Guns N’ Roses material in the studio, and that recording is “definitely” taking place. She added in that Axl Rose hasn’t been present, but that Slash is definitely in there and that it’s “not for anyone else.” Meaning, he’s not working on the new Conspirators album. The band’s ex-manager, Alan Niven, has also told CR, “Duff and Izzy were in the studio before Christmas doing stuff. At a casual glance I think they’ve got at least a couple of tracks down.” As for the reunited band’s upcoming shows, Vereecke says, “It’s certainly an amazing production.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Gonna see what I can find out. Maybe this time with enough salt we may see some pepper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 It's all lifted straight from the Team Rock/Classic Rock website articles, as already mentioned, so in other words you already knew all this if you've been on this board over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackieloveless Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 maybe not a whole album , but I can see a single for the summer tour . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_france Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 it is great news if this is not (only) a reunion for nostalgia and if we have new and fresh music. The cherry on the cake is that Izzy seems to be here, at least for songwriting. This is very good sign for the alchemy of the musician,for the rock n roll basis of the songs...

Not really and he hardly ever wore it on stage.. Maybe for an encore. It wasn't until after Guns that he started wearing it almost every public appearance. https://www.google.com/search?q=Guns+N%27+Roses&pws=0&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwitzsapgozLAhWEFz4KHTrVAugQ_AUICSgD&biw=1249&bih=596 It also doesn't fall off anymore no matter how hard he headbangs which makes it look even more cheesy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Now now... is he working on new "GNR" tracks or "new GNR" tracks and making sure he's got the Shackler's solo down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old days he didn't wear that damn hat for two hours straight whenever he hit the stage. It has become a bit of a parody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this time they just pick on the recording only part. Although it's sounds promissing and I'm glad Slash is recording.The last few years we used to hear Richard talking about recording all the time... I hope this time we get to listen to the final product. But I believe it when I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double talkin jive mfkr Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 i really think that izzy more so than slash is instrumental to them actually recording releasable music while bringing axl into the fold to lay down the vocals as the final touch slash bring izzy with you!!!

SoundOfAGun Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I thought the constant hat wearing was to cover up the lack of hair these days. Fuck public opinion Slash, rock a Friar Tuck for the reunion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Hopefully he's adding leads to the tracks Izzy and Duff supposedly laid the foundations for when they were recording together last year. Whatever songs those two were doing together haven't seen the light of day yet, so you'd think they would've by now if it was for a separate project outside of GnR. When Duff first talked about those recording sessions and said "I'll be writing and recording with Izzy for the rest of my life now" I just knew it had to be for Guns N' Roses. I would like to imagine that some tasteful Slash leads on top of a solid rhythm section provided by Duff and Izzy could get Axl to bring out some catchy melodies for his lyrics, which is something I personally think he hasn't been able to really pull off as a songwriter since before Illusions, really. We'll see, though. At this point all that's important is that they're playing on stage together again. New music is just a bonus imo.

Archtop Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I thought the classic rock article was a bit deflating, it suggests Axls not been near the studio to record anything new, or just to pay an interest in whats going on. All in all kinda of reminds me of old times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
