I used to have an issue with Team Brazil but see now I was taking my resentment for the band breakup out on them. They seem pretty cool, and it's obvious they care about and look after Axl

Btw...it seems like they really considered a whole reunion.

Stevens back injury + izzys declination + the fact that Axl didn't want them to play cd songs...sounds a lot like: it was planned to be a real reunion. On the other hand...why no Gilby and Matt then?

Because the door is still open for Steven and Izzy if it all lines up

Album artwork FTW!

I hope we get new music soon. That would be swell. 

Can't be too far off if they're thinking of the artwork already!

i agree that axl didnt shit on izzy on this interview

(but i guess you remember he spent like a year or something ranting about izzy onstage during the illusion tour)

I'm not saying he's perfect, but I can see that he is trying his best to be respectful and not make their issues public

Just now, ludurigan said:

yeah, thats your conclusion

axl never said that

he said that HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT IZZY

he said that things seem to go one way and then the next day they go other way

the only thing that you can say about it is that THEY DIDNT REACH AN AGREEMENT

its not even clear if axl talked to izzy directly

all these disagreements may have been through lawyers or "axl people" or who knows who else talked to izzy

Kind of reminded me of the making of Don't Cry video where Axl talks about the Izzy situation and how Izzy didn't want to be there, at least on the terms that existed between them. Although they're having issues you really have to give Axl credit, he doesn't shit on people. They may not be seeing eye to eye but Axl doesn't call names or tell stories.

I really want Izzy there, not only is he an essential component of the band chemistry I think it would be good for Axl. You can tell when relationships are strained that it takes a toll on him and his energy

Great interview! Didn't pussy about and asked a lot of the questions that we've been wondering for a while. Also cracked me up how Slash wasn't there but there's this little shrine to Slash with a Les Paul and Marshall speaker in between Axl and Duff.

I have a feeling that we'll get an interview with all three or with Axl and Slash soon. With this reunion they like to build things gradually, giving a little bit of something before we get the whole thing.

Also liked how Steven and Izzy is a definite possibility if they can all line their shit up together. Come on Izzy, fight for it... We want you there man

New Zealand announced!

I meant he sounds ok on AFD YouTube videos playing to instrumentals these days. Totally agree his drumming on the album is some of the best ever done in the hard rock genre. Live at the Ritz- he steals the show.

Then 25 years of the perils of rock n roll decadance happened. It hit him the hardest with the strokes. It's awesome he's still here and playing with Guns again. But come on. There's no way he can be the main man anymore.

I think you could argue the decadence hit Slash the hardest. Without a defib built into his chest he could go into a bad heart rhythm and die. Duff came pretty close with his pancreas. Seems a bit critical to consider Steven any worse than either, at least in terms of taking things to the limit. Obviously Steven has had issues more recently, but still they were all in a similar league at different times.

Sometimes I think that because Axl wanted Steven gone in 1990 some people feel they have to think the same way. The rest of us can see that Steven is a great guy and a great drummer. Glad to see him back and I hope he stays and expands on his current role

Is that Kim Basinger behind Charlie Sheen

Edit - just looked at 2016 photos of Kim Basinger and going to answer my own question. NO

I don't get it - not a big fan of the sound of Frank's drum kit, but when Steven plays on the same kit it sounds great

Wouldn't rule it out if it was LA, but I highly doubt if it hasn't happened yet, it'll happen in SD. 

It ain't happening yet

1 US show left to get Izzy? :/

I wouldn't place a cash bet on this

Hope we get a huge amount of Adler tonight

The periscoping woman just said it looks almost sold out 

Well that's awesome then!

I thought this show was close to sold out too. But i guess it is much lower?

Anybody know? Just looked like there were a few empty chairs at show start. People should know by now that these are the shows where the surprises come out

Axl works so much harder when the audience isn't full. It makes him hungry to prove himself

Just now, lassie said:

No sorry it was a joke, but could be cool if they did like Paris 92. That was an awesome show

Ok...

Just joined this thread - is tonight's show being filmed?

What's the bet Slash visits The Walking Dead attraction at Universal Studios in the next day or two

yeah baby, Patience

It makes sense as the first OZ show is starting from 7th Feb, but the weird thing is that why din't they announce the NZ tour with it?

When I was told yesterday (30 mins before I posted here) they said announced next Monday

Awesome, cheers for the heads up dude

Don't take it as gospel but I do believe the source is 100% legit on what they know at this moment

Just now, cremefraiche said:

Fuck yes, made my night

Who's the source btw? Obviously not asking for a name haha just like, how are they privvy to such info? 

They work in radio

I've got a good source telling me Auckland 4th February at Western Springs

Might be time to send Dizzy along to a neurologist to check in case he's getting the first symptoms of dementia
