GunnerOne 84

When you read Axl's RRHOF letter and Slash's interviews from that time it doesn't really seem like anything will happen.

I mean that was 3 1/2 years ago.

It wouldn't have sold 20 million if it came out in 1995.

it means they closed the deal with the band, other promotors were competing. Rock in Rio must've had the best offer.

And to the extent you can share, that means it was closed with the condition that some combination of the original lineup is involved?

FYI i just got word that Rock in Rio got the bid over GN'R Reunion gig for lisbon. Metallica are booked for the Metal Day.

Take it with a grain of salt, but i believe it because i know the people that told me this and they are part of the industry in Portugal.

What does that mean exactly? I think it means RIR wants a reunited gnr and would get them before the other Portugal gig, but not sure.

I guess it really depends on what we're considering a hit.

They could easily have a single reach the level of Slither or Fall to Pieces provided they can actually write one.

If Axl and Slash get back together after 20 years and their big comeback is to choose to cover Born to be Wild I will jump off of a bridge.

I hate to say it but Axl assembling a new lineup isn't far fetched. Yeah, it would be a huge let down, but why would it be a "stupid" move in his eyes? Its no different to the casual fans which make up the crowd at shows who plays with Axl in a non- classic lineup.

It's one thing to plug in a new member when one leaves. It's another to replace almost everyone with more people the average fan hasn't heard of before.

I can't imagine he rebuilds from scratch again. I think it's either reunion or retirement. I've been wrong before and will be again, but that's how I see it.

Definitely seems like either NuGNR is finished, or Axl is finished.

Hoping it's only the first.

The interesting thing to me is Jarmo not shutting all of this talk down. Usually he tempers expectations with this stuff.

I was out of town all weekend, did this air on TV at all??

no

The Paradise City ad aired during the Eagles-Bucs NFL telecast today.

I am not going to take seriously any opinion from people who say, Axl isn't on the cutting edge, Dream Theater is. What a bunch of fucks.

Dream Theater

Elton John, double pianos and duet on goodbye yellow brick road.

I think there are seven or nine steinman songs

My mistake, I was informed they did not do this one together. Makes me even more excited forthe album, as I think they are amazing. Probably the only 22 year old that thinks so lol.

I would say meat has kinda flown under the radar since bat out of hell 2. I for one am excited to hear the next album, but there hasn't been the buildup for it like there has been for CD. Meat has released stuff since then, and done some movies, while Axl has been very reclusive, and has hyped one album all this time. Plus Axl seems to have an almost mythical stature due his lack of interaction, and I think that helps fuel the machine. Even people who aren't big Guns fans ask me whats going on with them every once and a while, and want release date info when it comes, as well as tickets for the fall.

I think Meatloaf would be hyped more if he collaborated with Steinman on this one. But you are right, bat 1 and 2 were not exactly small releases.

Buckcherry or Silvertide

MTV doesn't care about Axl anymore. He won't be at the VMA's.

good one!

Know any others? B)

UK SUBS.

:lol:

...But on a serious note, i'm sure MTV would do anything to get Axl on the show.

MTV usually reports even the smallest bit of news regarding GNR, and it's usually in a positive light.

They just did it again today on their website.

They cut off the funding AFTER End of Days, I don't remember what year exactly, though I am sure someone else can help me on that.

As much as Axl likes his privacy, I don't see him going through this if he didn't have plans for the album. I know all about 2002, I was lurking around for that, and went to the Cleveland show.

However, as great as it wasat the time, looking back on 2002, it seems like a characiture of Axl and GNR. His demeanor, his clothes, and the all around perfromance of the band is light years away from 2002. He seems to actually want this, and I think that was the problem all along.

Baseball can be a good comparison thought.

Whenever Chinese Democracy hits stores, we as guns fans are going to feel like red sox fans after a world series win. Who are we, and what do we do now lol.

Some one said that in warming up for the illusion tours, they played a long set, and played mostly illusion material. But, that was 15 years ago, and probably has no bearing on these sets.

Hopefully noone will open, and Adler's situation is a tragedy.

I am so tired of this I love NYC, it's the greatest city in the world bullshit. NYC is a dirty, smelly, shithole of a place, full of ignorant, up-their-own-ass people that think they are better because they live there. Fuck them. Get your head out of your own ass and realize there is a lot more to life than NYC.

Rathole town, asshole people.

Damn straight, and proud of it.

And this is exactly why the entire world hates us. fucker.

NYC can suck me off. Rathole town, asshole people.
