ludurigan Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 "I’m particularly proud of Guns N' Roses. Out of everything about that band – the music, the tours – basically, what the whole band was about is something I’m very proud of. Guns N' Roses was a band that made it on our own merits and didn’t cater to the status quo or try to be industry darlings or any of that kind of pandering that a lot of bands do to try to become successful. So, I’m very proud of that, and I’m proud of Velvet Revolver, I’m proud of the solo stuff that I’ve been doing with Myles… all that stuff is something that I feel was an achievement, and worth doing." Slash talks about Guns N' Roses for Bandwagon, December 2018 https://www.bandwagon.asia/articles/we-didn-t-cater-to-the-status-quo-or-try-to-be-industry-darlings-an-interview-with-slash Cant understand these people that live in the past!

Popular Post Tori72 Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 Because now the band is not about what it was. Slash is proud of the band they started out as until UYI days. Rightly so. They were a great band. It ended all up in smoke. Now three of them are on a nostalgia ride with hired hands. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I wouldn't read too much into that. What GNR is now, is a super succesfull classic rock band. I'm sure that Slash is proud of that, but he's talking in a past tense cause he's talking about how he's proud about how they got there with their own terms etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GNRfanMILO Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 @ludurigan Izzy’s not coming back, brother. You’ve been bitter for 30 years despotricating everything he’s not involved, but it’s time to move on. Your attempts at trolling are getting boring. Thankfully Guns N’ Roses will keep going with Axl, Slash, Duff and the “aliens” as you like to call them. They will probably mess up GNR’s legacy and history by releasing a new album that features Richard again And I’ll be happily waiting for your reaction! He-is-not-coming-back. Let Izzy be happy with his avocados. Move on 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner927 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Talk about reading between selected lines... It's obvious he WAS talking about pre-breakup Guns and their rise to the top. Anyone who thinks Slash is gonna give up Guns (and the pay that comes with it) again is more nuts than Axl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GNR brand has been reinvigorated to the point where if Axl continued on without Slash, he could probably sell out hockey arenas again with Duff/Frank/Richard/Dizzy/Melissa for a few years Now if Duff and Slash both left...that would be a harder sell If Axl decided to release Chinese Democracy 2, a tour with Bucket and Tommy to support it would make a lot of sense - Bucket was supposedly hard up for money earlier in the year which is why he went on tour for the first time in a while, he'd probably welcome the payday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Deep in his mind he probably sees the AFD, UYI, and NITL lineups as three different bands, and was probably just referring to the AFD crew here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AtariLegend Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2018 I think the real story is being missed here. He didn't use "was" when talking about Velvet Revolver. New Velvet Revolver ALBUM CONFIRMED?!!! WEILAND BACK FROM DEAD?!!! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Izzy be happy with his avocados. Move on @GNRfanMILO Thanks for clarifying that Izzy’s not coming back, brother! Let me ask you something, Izzy told you that? Or you know the future? If you know the future, can you tell me if you knew secretly that the fakeunion would happen before everyone? Thanks also for telling me that I have been bitter for 30 years! I had no idea! But if you are telling me that I have been bitter, than I surely have! It's pretty fascinating to find that someone I have never seen in my life can get inside my mind and tell me how I feel, brother! Thanks also for teaching me the new word "despotricating". I have no idea what it means but I love it! I think I am gonna start to despotricate everyday now, it seems so relaxing and adventurous! I have a new year party to go do you think I am gonna make people laugh if i despotricate for them? Or with them? Please let me know! Thanks also for telling me that stating my opinion is "trolling". It's pretty fun to find people who can't tolerate a different opinion than yours. It's fascinating to interact with people like that, it happens on this forum all more times than I can remember! Thanks also for telling me that you are "bored". I had no idea that my opinions should "entertain" you but now that you told me what my opinions are for I promise you that I will try my best at it so you may never get bored again! Thanks also for telling me to "move on", I love when someone that I have never seen in my life comes and tells me what I should to do, what I should say, how I should behave. It's brilliant! It's actually the most "GNR thing" you can do! Last but not least, please let me know when you want to discuss GNR and not what I do. Last time i checked this was a GNR board!

Just like you, I am 100% sure that Slash was talking about GN'R and not about Axl's Guns n Aliens band that currently presents itself as Guns n Roses I never stated that Slash is considering to leave Axl's Guns n Aliens band It just grabbed my attention that despite touring the word with "Guns n' Roses" for the last three years, Slash talks about "Guns n' Roses" as something that doesn't exist anymore 13 hours ago, rocknroll41 said: Deep in his mind he probably sees the AFD, UYI, and NITL lineups as three different bands, and was probably just referring to the AFD crew here. yep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 When you talk about the past you tend to do it in past tense, that don't mean that Guns have broken up, it just means their past is being referred to folks. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the band that presents itself as GNR has not broken up and likely they will continue presenting themselves as GNR and making zillions of dollars in the process for as long as people are willing to pay to see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
