Route66

i think there's a few things to sort out (mainly Slash) but then we'll have a line up like this: Axl, Slash, 4tus, Duff, Steven/Matt and Dizzy

reunion starts now

Hired gun. Not a band mate or brother from the beginning. Get over it Bumble ffs.

I love your playing but this is not and never was your band or legacy. If it turns out to be the pinnacle of your career.. maybe you should be more thankful for the gift you were given.

Bumble as far as i'm aware had no intention of ever staying for the long term.

I don't understand how you come to that conclusion. He waited around and played Slash's parts for 8 years.

He was well paid for his service. Bumble said it himself before it became public knowledge. He thought it was private on his forum but it wasn't. GNR management was informed about his mercenary attitude and it almost blew his chance. He deleted every single post on his forum referring to GNR and in some cases those posts were taking the piss out of GNR!

If something does come out I hope it's songs recorded during the CD era (with Buckethead, Finck & Brain). I actually bet it will be that with the new members doing some overdubs on it. I'll happily take it if that's what it is.

I do wonder what happened to the rumored self-titled album in 2010 though...

I would guess it's the same record. They haven't recorded a whole lot of stuff after those 26 songs stated in 2006.

They may have a couple of new songs with Dj. Baz claimed to have heard a Dj Axl song.

Fortus supposedly recorded songs in the CD era sessions and has been finishing it off etc.

I think some may remain. Ultimately the song does but i dont think we'll see anything for a while. If it was good enough we'd of seen a release of them sooner than this.

Heralded to GNR fans as new music but not. Its a Who Song. A Good Song. An old song.

Axl blows the fuck out of this song in a good way. Daltrey must have been impressed.

Facts are that band members right now are hired guns and know nothing. Hence the false information.

It must be rough to be asked the same shit over and over.. now and then obviously people are tempted to give an olive branch.. maybe it helps them cope. Who knows.

Tongue in cheek comment from a guy that didnt rate GNR from the get go but used it for personal gain and continues to do so. "Lead guitarist for Guns n Roses" - check out any of his numerous flyers, posters, adverts.. when in actual fact the lead role was shared between all 3 guitarists. Great guitarist but MERCenary. Plus by all accounts and inside knowledge he's already gone..

Truth is GNR fans have been used by this guy and a few other people. He'll readily defend himself (which is his career) and i understand that, totally.. he's entitled to.. he's a fantastic guitarist and went through a lot of rough stuff with his accident etc. I for one am grateful for many things he brought to GNR. Truth is i was on his forum well before he joined and i saw exactly what he wrote about GNR. I saw the replies to rumors and i saw the disdain. Maybe Axl needs people loyal to him again that care about GNR as much as he does himself.

Ron no offence intended. Like able guy but you are not a Guns N Roses guitarist.

Sales?? Do you think Axl cares much? If he did he would probably have promoted it. IMO what Axl cares about is how it's received by old fans and new fans alike. I honestly think the album was a success on many fronts. It didnt sell initially but Best Buy paid up front which took the risk away for the release. Tours since have been successful. Initial reviews were "ok" but since.. CHIDEM these days gets great reviews online. Win win and big fucking win.. or bullet dodged depending how you look at it. It could easily have been a huge flop. The pressure was unbelievable. I believe Axl delivered and then some. Not that it should have ever been his job to do on his own.. pretty rough responsibility to be left with.. the legacy of GNR!!!

Pity the new band cant stay together. Time will tell what happens and probably be the new legacy of the band for future generations. Slash and Axl to reunite? I think everyone hopes so. They are incredible apart but united these two artists could potentially go some way to fulfilling their original potential. Maybe even surpass it and release great music into their old age like the late great BB King. Music changes and so do artists.

New music? Perhaps.. perhaps not.

With the same band as the last tour. Not a chance IMO.

New album in 2017. Much more likely.

Bumble "The last thing I ever thought about was joining a band like that. Because if I liked them, I liked them the way they were. "

Duff is awesome. The strength behind Axl and GNR.

He's fucking tall also!

Duff won't say a word. He's the bridge between dysfunctional elements. The new GNR band is done as far as i can tell. Until i'm told otherwise Axl might actually be quitting unless he wants one last pay day that actually makes a difference in the world. it's not about money. but it helps

Bumble from day one was off to a bad start. He knows nothing about the background and whats going on and he is now doing exactly what some people expected.. myself included.. and that's interviews as a member or ex-member of GNR. Bumble as far as i'm aware had no intention of ever staying for the long term. Before GNR he was a great guitarist/songwriter with a following. Now he has a worldwide audience. It was partly about self promotion and who would ever deny the guy. I even heard people say he never liked GNR in the first place back when he joined. Each to their own. I did hear he grew to love the GNR fans which is good i guess. Can't blame him for leaving when there's old members trying to get back together again. I think that Ron frankly would love to see the AFD lineup back together again, at least for a bit of time.

We can only hope but... Sorry is about Slash.

My World would make an awesome funeral song. Just because it would piss off everyone i know and i'd love it

What he wants is probably the most accurate answer

Axl had enough perhaps

Did Axl like it? I heard he did. I think his vocal over that would have been pretty fucking good...

Closest imo to GNR sound for a while and i will never tire of listening to it.. all thanks to Izzy and Slash. Look at the old family tree of GNR.. it's always been like this. I really hope the guys that play well together and write songs together get to just not give a fuck one more time and do it.. the past is just that.

I really dont think GNR will release a new album anytime soon. Why would he? We can hope.. there's only a few people on the same page. I really hope it can happen. ffs sake.. i'll play!

BBF was very open about using the GNR name to further his career a year before joining. He didnt like GNR then and sure as fuck doesnt now. I know for a fact Merck knew

Evidence, please.

Merck has it.

Plus with in minutes of the news breaking he deleted a shitload of posts from his site. dont believe? i really dont care. ask Merck. He has the screen shots

Love this.. slamming a car door feels so fucking good at times.. we've all been there

Maybe singing Sailing was a shout out to Axl's Scottish fans!

All i can say is we're closer to a reunion that we've been since they split. Bridges were burned and are being rebuilt as far as i can tell.
