Steven made a bad decision on getting involved on the reunion, I understand that it was his dream to play with his friends but he promoted the tour making it almost a "full reunion" and all that he got was a bad treat according to this
If I were Steven or Izzy I would have never played with them, it was obvius that he would be treaten like that, being paid for a couple of songs while the other 3 gets all millonaires

 

This.

In fact, Steven should have more self-esteem, and send a beautiful FUCK YOU to Axl.
If Dexter prefers to have that lousy drummer he has, fuck him.

yes...it was.

A minor error in the face of so many misunderstandings along the trajectory.

If it was in other times I would say ... WOW!
These days I do not care ...

Is this your youtube channel @auad?

No...I don't have a channel yet

At lest one thing is clear like water in this GNR's world.

It's over..done.

And the end start just before Dizzy joining...

One last exit for these guys is return to 5 (or 6) members format and release a new CD...but Dexter is done as composer and others aspects...

The end of the tunnel is right here...

What do u think about it @maynard, @Paranoid Android?

i couldn't feel less interested.

nothing against Tommy as a person. ok. he served in GNR thrice as long as duff. so? To me, he didn't add anything to the GNR legacy. he brought one mediocre song to chinese democracy and that was that. as for the live performances, i'm still trying to erase those from my mind. pimp Axl, pajama Tommy, robin funck and baboon DJ aren't exactly glorious moments in the book of hard rock history.

the farthest Tommy and all the other hacks stay from anything GNR related, the better as far as i'm concerned.

I agree with you. This guy has not added anything to the legacy of the GNR, if there is a legacy ... and always speaks the same things in interviews ...
In fact, he does not even deserve topics about him ... and in the last weeks we had what? 3 or 4 here in the forum about the pearls that the guy says .... totally unnecessary ...

Hard Rock Haven - Interview With Tommy Stinson

February 14, 2017

Hard Rock Haven: Obviously writing for a hard rock website, it would be remiss of me to not ask any Guns questions. Did you ever see this happening…Axl reuniting with Slash and Duff? 

Tommy Stinson: If you asked me if it would happen I would have said, “Definitely wouldn’t be happening.” But I think that…I think that due to some of the things that happened towards the end when I was in the band…from my part in it, I wasn’t able to tour for a while because of my family situation at home was very unstable. I had to take care of some shit. So I had basically had to turn down I think it might have been as many as 5 different tours that they wanted to do. And this that and the other thing, I just couldn’t do it. And then DJ (Ashba) quit…when DJ made it official he was “quitting Guns N’ Roses” or whatever. I think that was pretty, “Okay, well, guess we’ll move on from this chapter and get back with the old guys.” I mean, seems to me there might have been some other weird stuff going on in there that I wasn’t party to, but I’m glad they did it. I think it was important that they did. They’re having a ball and fucking killing it. I’ve seen 2 shows, they’re great. They’re all really happy and it seems to be drama free.

HRH: I’m envious, I haven’t made it to any of the reunion shows yet. You mentioned DJ quitting…was that an unusual situation to be in. Were you privy to that at all at the time or did you find out with the rest of us?  

TS: (laughs) You know, he called me up on the phone and told me that he was gonna quit, you know, and this that and the other thing. I just kinda got to thinking … it was funny that he made such a big deal about it because there wasn’t really anything going on. He seemed like it was kind of inevitable that there was going to be a reunion happening, so I think he…I don’t know if he (laughs) tried to get in front of the curve to, you know, drum up some extra fucking press for himself. I don’t really know what the deal was, but I thought it odd. I thought it an odd time to make a big stink about quitting, you know?

HRH: Honestly, I didn’t find it anywhere near as odd as Bumblefoot’s whole “not talking about it” thing that went on for a while in his interviews. That time had to have been an unusual situation for everyone in the band.  

TS: It was. It was comical actually. (laughs) I was laughing about it. You know, I mean I felt bad for Axl because I think he kinda got side-swiped a bit by some of the stuff that was going on. He knew…they all knew…what was going on with me and there was nothing I could do about it. I didn’t have any backup plan to help me with my 8-year-old kid or any of that, so it got to be pretty rough quick. But you know, whatever led to them doing this reunion, I think a lot of people are really happy about it. Like I said, I saw 2 of the shows. They were great. Looked like they were having fun. The only one out of them I don’t really know is Slash and all those guys are my buddies. I’ve talked to them and they’re all having a good time as long as they keep doing it.

HRH: Obviously during your tenure in Guns there was only one album released. Does that bother you at all? Do you wish there was more of an output during your time in the band or do you know of something that you wanted to put out?  

TS: Well we recorded a lot of stuff. We recorded a shit ton of music. Whether it ever sees the light of day I couldn’t even guess, but we recorded a lot of stuff with the intent that it would be kinda staggered out, I think, you know to keep it rolling in a way. I’m not sure if it was Jimmy Iovine’s fuck up or someone’s fuck up that, you know, made a lot of that just…shut Axl down is what it did, but I’m not really sure where that stuff’s going to end up or what it’s gonna be. Who knows if it’ll be anything ever, you know?

HRH: Well I’m one of those out there that loves Chinese Democracy so hats off to you for your part in it.  

TS: Thank you.

"because there wasn’t really anything going on"

this tells everything about this band we choose to like...

So, I know this has been an issue since forever, or since this tour started...

Anyways my intention is not to dig deep cuts (yeah I know, I would kick out all CD songs and covers and insert Locomotive, Breakdown...etc etc)..

I was wondering if this could be the POSSIBLE - perfect setlist with the intention of satisfying every fan.. Even though if it would repeat every show, it would be quality choice...

Share your thoughts.. 

*POSSIBLE = obeying Axl

"It's So Easy"

"Mr. Brownstone"

"Chinese Democracy"

"Welcome to the Jungle"

"Double Talkin' Jive"

"Better"

"Estranged"

"Live and Let Die" (Wings cover)

"Rocket Queen"   -    Shorten the solos - insert "Dead Horse"

"You Could Be Mine"

"You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" intro (Johnny Thunders cover) / "Attitude" (Misfits cover) - ??? Axl needs rest, but I'd rather some "Think About You" or "Perfect Crime"

"This I Love"

"Civil War"

"Coma"

"Speak Softly, Love" (Love Theme from The Godfather, Slash guitar solo)

"Sweet Child o' Mine"

"Out ta Get Me"  -  STAPLE

"My Michelle"  - STAPLE

"Wish You Were Here" (Pink Floyd cover, Slash & Fortus guitar duet)  "Dust in the Wind" - Axl and Slash

"Layla" (coda) (Derek and the Dominos cover, instrumental with Axl on piano)  "It's Alright" by Axl

"November Rain"

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" (Bob Dylan cover) - 5 minute version - insert "Breakdown" or "Locomotive"

"Nightrain"

"Sorry"  "Yesterdays" /  "Used to Love Her"  (even though I would vote for Yesterdays as STAPLE cause Richard fucks up UTLH)

"Patience"  - STAPLE with "Wild Horses"  intro...

"The Seeker" (The Who cover)  "Don't Cry"  -  STAPLE

"Paradise City"

 

All in all... I know this is impossible for Axl to pull off, but if they managed at least half of that, that would be awesome!!!

Cool post bro,,,good setlist..

Let's pray...eventualy Dexter take a look on it...

She's there for the CD songs yet it is a complete waste because they re-did the songs Axl spent 14yrs trying to perfect 

She should be kicked off from GNR, soon as possible

That MetalliGaGa performance...what a fuckin joke...

at least....Megadeth won "Best Metal Performance"

Neither of those are more or less facts than what you're arguining with old boy about.    

I'm wondering if they confused Ratt with Poison...or Winger...or?

Doesnt matter, Ratt can definitely play.

ok...it's just my opinion about Out Ta Get Me...boring and weak song.

Very good point. I think Gene and Axl are both Douchebags but at least Gene's bands released new music from time to time, and Kiss '96 is probably the biggest reunion of all time. Meanwhile GNR brings back two old members with the same nuGNR forumula and system, and there ya go. But hey, at least Axl proved to everyone that he's not a control freak who hires and fires people gtom his band.

these words tells everything (about this thing kiss/gnr), at least for me...

Out Ta Get Me & SCOM- horrible songs? Black Diamond & Shout It Out Loud- classics? Pass it around man- I'll take a hit! Must be some good shit!

For the record, I love & respect Kiss a lot. I grew up in the 70s, and all the cool teenagers in town were big time into the Kiss phenomenon. But their music is totally one dimensional. Musically they've hardly done anything groundbreaking, and they haven't been relevant in almost 40 years!

Gene is just trying to get his & Kiss name in the headlines with this bullshit statement. He knows GnR is hot in the classic rock world right now, so he tried to ride in their wake...

Out Ta Get Me in fact is more than horrible...but SCOM is a classic for sure...

9 minutes ago, Silent Jay said:

Kiss wrote much more classics than GN'R. Strutter, Black Diamond, Detroit Rock City, Love Gun, Dr. Love, Rock N Roll All Nite, Shout It Out Loud the list goes on and on. They've been very prolific as a band with more than fifteen platinum albums from 1974 to 1992 (minus The Elder).

Does Kiss still matter? That's a good question, but you can't deny their major influence on music and new bands for decades already whereas Guns N' Roses hasn't influenced many modern rock bands.

I agree

Just now, tsinindy said:

Maybe....I dunno.  I'll give Gene credit here in that he's rather honest about it actually.

Just now, tsinindy said:

In that way sure, but Gene only cares about the fans to the extent they line his pockets with gold.

Just like Axl...

Gene Simmons has a great work ethic, at least he has one decent personality trait.
