BrownRock Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I don't check in here much now so if this has been posted feel free to lock it.But according to Ross Halfin the original lineup is supposed to play Download:I have to write some copy this weekend on Guns 'N Roses for a feature to go with my photos. My mind is blank at the moment. The thing is if you tell the truth it sets off too many wars, or egos way out of control. The orignal line-up is supposed to play Download in June with their metal chums, Metallica, if Lars can be bothered to turn up.http://www.rosshalfin.co.uk/diary/february...uary-2006.html#Take it how you want.::BR:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneway23 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I would imagine it might be the current incarnation, if at all...He most likely misspoke...VR has a new album coming out this year...Would make little sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I read it as:The thing is if you tell the truth it sets off too many wars, or egos way out of control.

But I also don't believe the original lineup is doing anything. Hell, Steven's too busy doing crack in England with Adam Bomb to make a photo shoot, much less plan for a reunion...Added: On a second read through, knowing how differently he feels about Axl and Slash, it does make sense he could've been saying this with total sarcasm toward the new band.

vince41090 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 i really hope this happens and there is some reason to believe it might, considering how Axl said he was "talking to Izzy just the other day". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agoraphobicwhacko Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Funny how a rumour/possible news of this magnitude that could turn the GNR world upside down has a few posts, but a thread about a possible Axl sighting in Vegas is 4 pages and counting.

Not sure if that was meant to be sarcastic or not, but either way I find it very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really see how his comments can be discredited simply on past comments. He mentioned some comments about Merck's views on CD, and about GH2. Neither comment was proven false.

KBear Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I have to write some copy this weekend on Guns 'N Roses for a feature to go with my photos. My mind is blank at the moment. The thing is if you tell the truth it sets off too many wars, or egos way out of control. The orignal line-up is supposed to play Download in June with their metal chums, Metallica, if Lars can be bothered to turn up.This tell the truth line is pretty much a tip off that he's being sarcastic. At least that's how I read it, and I believe the same way xEstrangedx read it.I think the only way Axl would reform the old band right now is if he was unhappy with the way his new band was going. I guess it's not impossible considering the delays, but it is very, very unlikely. Just imagine though...as we speak the old band is working together to polish up Chinese Democracy and keep it a big secret. Imagine how huge that would be? They could debut the first video and it's fucking Slash, Duff, and Izzy on the TV screen with no advance warning the old band was back together. Holy shit! Lay off people, I know this is just a wild fantasy. Edited February 4, 2006 by KBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay off people, I know this is just a wild fantasy. Actually, I am gonna add to it.They start off playing all 1987-92 stuff and band members come and go onstage with each passing year/era/song.Then for 2 hours, we get the current line up of GNR to give the original lineup a break (minus Axl of course because his voice is perfect and he sings non stop all night)Then for the finale, it's Original GNR, VR, current GNR and they do "Wish you were here", "Drift Away" and and "Take it to the limit" :chef: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Axl Kev Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Rubbish. Axl is recording an album with new guys. He ain't gonna betray their trust by playing a gig with Slash and co.However, I want a reunion so much more than Chinese Democracy! It would be 100 times better!
