DieselDaisy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I just do not want any nugnr wanker near a reunited band. I've never been particularly fond of any of them really. They always struck me as people who would sell their grandma for a groat, brown-nosers, dick-snivelers, sycophantic vegas players. If you cannot get Izzy, get Gilby, If Adler relapses, draft in Sorum: case closed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'd be ok with the UYI lineup. Gilby and Matt are very competent and were part of an important period of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan H. Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Other mainstream sources have picked up this rumor.Seems kindof like a drag that we waiting so long for Axl and Slash to get back together, just for them to cut and run on Sorum, Izzy, and Steven.Izzy may have said no, Steven obviously is in no position to do a world tour, but I have to imagine Matt ir Gilby would be on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) A wanker on a wobbling keyboard would be the last person I would like to see in any type of lineup of Guns N' Roses. Edited November 13, 2015 by Slash787 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I love Fortus, so if this is true, that part I like. Izzy was never going to tour, we knew that, and I would MUCH rather have 4tus than GIlby (nothing against Gilby, I just like Richard better). Frank I could take or leave. I'd rather have Steven, obviously, but if it can't be him, I'm not all that bothered by Frank instead of Matt.The opening act should be Art of Anarchy. Scott couldn't work with Slash, Bumble couldn't work for Axl, now they're all together. Reality TV!Art of Anarchy couldn't even work together cause Scott was only a studio member of that band who did vocals in separate sessions and then refused to tour or even promote the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 From a name point of view, it almost works as well as the AFD line-up.Axl! Slash! Izzy! Duff! And Frank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Jesus Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) A wanker on a wobbling keyboard would be the last person I would like to see in any type of lineup of Guns N' Roses. Fortus isn't original but he is better than Clark. Izzy isn't that great, but would be nice if he showed up once for a couple of songs since he is the original. They need pitman for the synth in songs like Novermber Rain and perhaps new songs. It makes no sense to hire 4 - 5 individuals that do not contribute to most songs, when they only can have one who can play on all those songs. Just saying.

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If this happened, it would be very unlikely that Fortus would play any of Slash's solos again. Fortus is, at the end of the day, a session musician who is paid to serve the bigger picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Fortus would be there purely because Izzy doesn't want to commit to a full tour, he'll show up for a couple songs and it'll be cool. And as for Fortus, why the hell not, he's just there to provide the rhythm guitar and he's prefectly capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I hope Fortus keeps his word. If I recall correctly he had said he would never be or share the same stage as Slash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Jesus Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I hope Fortus keeps his word. If I recall correctly he had said he would never be or share the same stage as Slash. He was on the same album as Slash as he is the lead guitarist of the Dead Daiseys . I think that it is more of him staying out of Axl and Slash's personal thing which he had no business getting into.

Ifdworld Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I hope Fortus keeps his word. If I recall correctly he had said he would never be or share the same stage as Slash. this is so stupid, that's not what he said.He said he wouldn't do that to Axl because he knows how axl feels about slash. If they work things out it's all good.Fortus admires slash's playing and doesn't know him, so he doesn't have any problem with slash personally.

DieselDaisy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Some people's idea of a 'reunion' here is, one or two hand-picked old members combined with a load of nu wankers: chuck them together - a band that has never played before - and call the thing a 'reunion'. And this is all because Johnny Schmuck can not tell his Izzys from his Dizzys or his Gilbys! Edited November 13, 2015 by DieselDaisy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What plausible reason is there to call any member of NuGNR a wanker? There is only one wanker in NuGuns, and it is the same guy who was a wanker in old Guns. It never ceases to amaze me how people demonize NuGNR members past and present. Axl's band has had some amazingly talented and unique musicians over the years, and they all played the old songs well. It's not as if any of them were ever given the chance to function like a real collaborative band and the fault lies entirely with Axl for that. If Axl weren't so lazy and was prepared to actually write songs with the guys in his band then NuGNR could've possibly been a credible successor to the old band. But it ain't their fault that their Kingpin was a maniac. Edited November 13, 2015 by Towelie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, even Ashba sees Nikki Sixx's solo crap as being more artistic and superior than nugnr haha. Surely it would be much better for Fortus to just pursue the Dead Daisies now.Everyone left, when all those members have left, now looks exceptionally lame.

TeeJay410 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 This is all getting so damn silly, and the onus is on GNR and TB. News outlets, "music insiders," and rock stars are basically booking the tour and setting lineups. It's started to be reported by legitimate outlets (with skepticism at least) but all it is doing is riling people up. Maybe that's what they want us to do. However if it's not true, and they are choosing not to say anything, they are just dicks that hate their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyve starved the fan base for so long that theyll accept anything. And if Slash and Duff are a part of it then even more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it would be much better for Fortus to just pursue the Dead Daisies now.Everyone left, when all those members have left, now looks exceptionally lame.Well, not everyone is a songwriter. And not everyone in Old Guns was a songwriter either. Perhaps Frank, Dizzy and Richard just enjoy playing their instruments and they're all more than capable. Original member or not, I have no more respect for Steven Adler, Matt Sorum or Gilby than I do for most of the guys in the new band. Those guys are capable musicians, but you have to admit that in regards to their overall importance to what GNR became, they were very much in the right place at the right time. The only guy who is really needed (beyond Axl, Slash and Duff) to legitimise GNR fully is Izzy, but if he doesn't want in, then it doesn't really matter who else makes up the rest of the band as far as I'm concerned.
