foxmulder Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It has been speculated for a while now whether or no Popcorn will have any role in the reunion tour. I believe he is hired and already has a job with the GNR now. Reason to believe? The fact he hasn't spoken or said anything about the reunion. All members who are NOT part of the reunion came out and said it ( Matt, Ashba, Gilby, Izzy) , while all those who are involved, have not said a word about it to the press (axl, slash, duff, STEVEN, ) etc. This might have already been covered before, if so feel free to delete this thread, but it makes sense. Hope to see him at the Toronto show! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKiss344 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I agree, I think he will be there this summer!! I'm going to the Toronto show too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Yes I agree he's in. This has been discussed in numerous other Steven, Steven n Izzy, Steven n Matt threads though..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfanMILO Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Also, Izzy said he wasn't involved in the "April shows", so maybe the AFD 5 will be on the US leg or even the full tour... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there weren't any other shows announced when he said that, so I wouldn't read too much into that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't think the silence says anything about his involvement. Matt Sorum was quiet until April and Gilby Clarke has been, too. It didn't mean they were hired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt and Gilby have more self restraint than Steven. I disagree with this. Steven would have went straight to the press if he was shut out of it immediately.

Getting paid or threatened by GnR's legal team would be my guess. For all we know they could have gone to all the former members and given them a payoff not to say anything before the April gigs to preserve some element of surprise. It would explain why the others were also quiet. Or, Steven's minding his ps and qs in the hopes that good behavior will help his case. There's been no indication from anyone associated with the band officially that he's at all involved and several people have said he's probably not going to be a part of it.

Aussiegun Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Maybe he's got a promise of a proper reunion tour (2017) if he zips it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I would think he's in. To be this silent for so long knowing how passionate he has always been to be in this, I say he's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 He doesn't seem devasted,if he was completely excluded he wouldn't smile and look happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Money Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This is already in a million other threads, but I'll comment b4 lock. We WILL see the AFD lineup "soon." Steven will be there, and I'm guessing Izzy is waiting this thing out like he did the RRHOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxmulder Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Plus not to sound mean or anything, but even from a financial perspective, even if he is being offered less than the " Principal Members" gees probably getting paid more than he would be playing M3 festival and small bars and such. Another motivating factor? Probably he'll be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably he'll be there I don't think money is an issue with Steven he has said he'd play with GnR for free....I wouldn't take that literally of course, but it's more likely the Izzy situation is about money as compared to Adler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a quote from rolling stone itself. He said only the April shows, he also said "at this point in time". It's not like Izzy is banned from anything GNR related, I think gnr wants him to work but he's on strike. Hopefully both sides can work something out.

Well, Fortus is in for the summer tour anyway... hope to see the guy as a guess and then step forward for the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Guns N Roses, with special guests The Hollywood Vampires, Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds, and Adler. Problem solved, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to take into account when he wrote that. There were no other GNR shows scheduled except for those, and it appears Izzy didn't know if there were any more shows just like the public, I believe that's the reason he wrote just wrote "April shows". I think he knew about as much about a possible tour as the next guy at that point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful...there was clear existence of people having knowledge of a summer US stadium tour as early as January (if not earlier honestly). If he is not participating and has negotiated with the band at some point after January I'm sure he knew of the skeleton of what would be going on going forward.

EvH Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 So, let me get this straight. We get our reunion/reformation/regrouping (choose what you want to call it), and people actually suggest to bring out bloody Conspirators and LA Guns to the line up?
