"South America is always a radical place for rock & roll, and I'm honored to be doing this thing, in that place." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin White Duke Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 What's more important, a pal or a buddy? Because he is buddies with Tommy and pal with Axl. And I'm afraid he will end up making that record with Tommy. I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Duff is the first original member to play a full gig with Guns N Roses (besides Axl) since 1993...or 21 years! It should be awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rose Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 You know what's fucking both sad and cool depending on how you look at it? Despite how badly everything has gone for GN'R in the years since the end of the Illusions tour, it's still a TOP STORY on Rollingstone.com in 2014 when something like this happens. And not just because it's an original member: it's a a top story whenever shows are announced or Axl does an interview or whatever.Despite having completely fucked everything up, there is still goodwill towards Guns and Axl. There are acts out there that would sell their drummers for the continuous headline press that Axl gets on RS alone. Take Jon Bon Jovi, for instance: for better or (usually) worse, he has worked his ass off for the past 20 years yet the only time his band have been mentioned on RS is when Sambora quit.If Axl had fucking delivered and we were on record 5 right now with the Chinese band he'd be fucking untouchable.What a waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excitement is that the old Guns that might get together. The goodwill is more towards old guns and for Axl's work with old guns, and the hope that they may all get back together. Maybe if CD were released in '99 it would be more than a footnote, but otherwise no one really cares about the CD band except for people here and South America.

SlashisGOD Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Can Frank, bring in Sorum/Steven, can DJ Assba and bring in Izzy, can BBF and Richard, bring in Slash, Duff rejoins permanently, and now we're talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda hope he would bring back Josh before Brain.Then again this is all about as hypothetical as one can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So awesome that Duff will be playing with Axl and GNR again. I wish Duff would tour the US with Axl too. Would love to see them perform together again.Lucky fans in SA. I know you will enjoy these shows.Let us know if you see any change in Axl's performance with Duff onstage with him. Curious to know.

Mfegz Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Wonder if Axl will show up to rehearsals with Duff ??Who will take the lead in rehearsals if he doesn't ?? Duff? BBF? Dizzy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Cool Duff, just rejoin the band permanently now and make us all even happier As much as I would LOVE to see that happen, I could only see disappointment as no new material would ever come out from it. Duff is better than to join this trainwreck iteration of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
