If a reunion would take place without Steven Adler, I would have serious concerns for his health and well-being. Being snubbed from something like that would kill him.
To be fair, a reunion would have to take place with Steven. Or, at worst, Steven play half a show doing "Appetite" songs and Matt concluding the concerts doing Illusions songs.
Both drummers played equal part in recording those classic albums.
yes I think you make a good point and if steven is upto it and able to pull off all the tracks then for sure let the man get back in the seat and back to fullfilling his dreams.
but otherwise I was a fan of matt in the video'd tokyo shows from back in 92.
and I have to say if steven can pull the appetite songs off there shouldnt be any reason he couldnt learn the others that would be in the set.

No! You can not freakin “replace” Izzy, like he’s some kind of clerk. He was the back bone of that band.
Practically, Gilby was probably great replacement for the tour, but as a permanent member – no.
the thing is izzy left, so it kind of makes it irrelevent and I personally think izzy is the number one choice if there was one and all I have to go on for gilby is the live use your illusions 1 and 2 video's and I liked his performances and persona. I dont think there is anything that can be added.

No.
I've been lucky enough to see the original and todays line up.
If the old band regrouped it just wouldn't be the same. They are all older and their musical styles are different. The past is the past and I have to say that the band today really rock. I am just grateful that I can still see Axl and hear my all time favourite songs live.
Long live GnR!
the new band arnt exactly young either. and all the othe original band members except maybe adler have been working in the music business since the split, (in more succsesful outfits than the new members probably came from anyway) so really there shouldnt be any reason they couldnt re-learn the songs they actually helped write the music for,

=It would certainly be my dream come true.
And while I appreciate the "new" members and respect their talents, I came to see Axl perform when I went to see GNR live.
The songs people come to the gigs for are, sorry to say, the old ones. And although Axl does have part in those songs, he wouldn't have been able to be a part of those songs without the old members helping create them.
Now I know there are people here who cheer for Axl for any fart he lets, and I do respect that, because that's what die hard fans are for! But surely these fans can also see that if GNR were only to perform songs from Chinese Democracy, and leave out all the old tunes, then on a commercial level the tour would fail horribly.
The percentage of people (out in the world, not just in this forum) want the old band back. They go to shows because they want the old songs. And while there's a minimal of die hard fans that want this band to stay together, there's a whole lot more who disagree, and don't even bother now because they don't feel it's right that 4 very important characters are not in the picture currently.
thats spot on. I seen them last night and everytime a chinese democracy song got played the whole crowd just stood there not barely moving to the tune just waiting for it to finish so that we could get into one of there golden oldies that would basically get the crowd going crazy.
you should check the post I left on the last page of the it will be a cold day in hell before there is a reunion. its quite large but I think it might speak to you.

Dude real gnr fans
Stopped reading right there
aaww bitch bitch haha. old gunners is the best. and if you dont agree then your basically going against everything that made the guns n roses name big news and business
-
They will never accept that Axl wants to be in charge of everything..
Stop dreaming people. Guest performances is all we are going to get.
its also all we "should" get
nothing more
think about todays band members
they are much better !
Dude real gnr fans dont care about the music sounding overly polished we wanna see some true callaborater rockin rollers belting out the music they all had to live through and work so hard to make!
and on the dreaming comments you can bet your bottom $ the reason either side wont give a definate no is because in the back of there mind they really want it to happen. I was reading slash wants the business sorted and I bet profits from just sorting that side out should out way any personal issues. now I say should loosely

Funny to see how threads about Slash an co. always reaches way more pages than the threads regarding to the current line-up.
So people still find it interesting, to read and talk about
Even the people who constantly bash the old-members.When somebody in any way, even slightly compares Slash to Axl or Guns to VR in a post, of course some Axlite or Slashite is going to get provocated, which leads to endless bickering for tens of pages. I'd hardly call that discussion worth reading, it's just "my idol is better than yours, fuck you" all over again
Hello GnR fans I only joined this just now to have a little say on the slash/axl new and old debate.
I started listening to GnR when I was 6 years old my first tape I bought was use your illusions 1 and axl was my absolute rockstar idle and I still idlise him to this day and now I'm 28 and the show last night in perth was worth every cent and I have pretty much waited most of my life to have that chance to see him perform, but in
saying that I also bought every album on tape they had ever brought out and the video's, then cd's and dvd's all except chinese democracy which I know nothing about. Now the new band members who I am slowling learning they're names and positions in the band, absolutley own that album no questions asked and last night they put on a show worthy of a decent sized production. "And I had a fuckin phat time too, like it was awesome and axl was on fire" and I cheered as hard as I could for the new members keeping in mind the shit they no doubtably have had to put up with from fans at their shows so I made a contiouse effort to really try and make them feel at home at the show. Now in saying that aswell I've been watching live GnR concerts of the old since I was about 6-8 years old aswell and seeing izzy(gilbey), duff, slash and steven/matt, dizzy and axl put on their lets face it life on the edge rude n crude fuck everything else lets fuckin rip this stage apart seemingly un-choreographed ROCK SHOW!!! and nothing could make me happier to be able to be apart of that live show audience and I would probably say most of you out there would agree with what I am saying. Even though they have all matured obviously now. Also GnR's first 4 albums were written and collaberated by the original band members, so as much as some of you out there are saying move on with the situation. I think logically not only personally the original band members have a much stronger right to the guns n roses (name/brand, rock n roll machine) than the new band members hired to fill they're very big shoes. And if you use just a little of your brain smarts and reasoning powers, would be very hard pressed to say what I am saying doesnt make complete sense.
Now lets say by some great act of god they decided to actually reunite. And they took a step back and maybe tried to remember the good times they had and even without being specific, like say hey guys maybe I was a little hasty and regret pushing things until we had go bust. Ya know we had a great thing going and hey guess what if we wanted too we could own the world again. lets put the past behind us move on and rock the world the way it has so sorely missed over the last 15 or so years.
Now lets say it got made official. That means its time to get down to business. Now the original band members "which I'm sure they all realise" will pull in way bigger crowds than the new GnR line up I'm sorry guys I dont mean to be negative towards you's. And that also includes the original band members side projects other than Axl ofcourse, ever will. I can only imagine it will be as great as your (U2, ac/dc, rolling stones) audience crowd capacity stadium shows. I see only 16,000 people went to the dec 11 2010 perth, kwinana motorplex show. Now I went to the AC/DC show in perth held at Subiaco Oval Stadium 2010 and 44 or 48,000 people went to two sold out shows there, now you dont have to be a genious to realise thats a hell of a much larger earning for a band. (And I know the band members arnt strapped for cash and can afford to live in a big house and have people drive them where they want to go and pretty much run what ever it is that a rockstar could need them to do). But "and I only wish the actual band members read this post" you have the ability to own your own private jets, helicoptors and every big boys toys you could ever want and I mean like living stupidly loud like demolition derby's in brand new ferrari's every day of the year, trips to the internation space station yearly maybe for some RnR. GET THE POINT. like fuck I wanna buy a small country! hey why not you only live once.
Now I wont go and buy chinese democracy because I just have no real interest in it. But you can bet your bottom $ I and so fuckin many others will buy every other orginal band members collaberated albums and live recordings to come out from now until your all old like the rolling stones or ac/dc and go fuck it, its time to hang our boots up and call it a night!
Okay this was thought up and typed from someone dreaming and wishing things would just always go his way and one of the biggest fans this band could ever come across and I've pretty much been partying from lastnights show in Perth (SO FUCK YEAH IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE A REASON TO NOT WANT THE PARTY TO END) until before coming in here to look for some goss on how the show was recieved by others and Axl (and any of the other band members new and old) if you read this I was the big tall guy in the middle of the stage area towards the back of the mosh pit area infront of the white tent where your sound stuff and camera's were being operated from, absolutley going nuts singing pretty much all the lyrics to it like I was possed by some rockn roll spirit waving my arms around in an absolute frenzy in time with the beat of everyone one of your original members songs played screaming your name and and I even started the angus chants at the start of whole lotta rosie, so if I got noticed you could tell I am one hell of a fan. And I also make some pretty compelling points for achievable lifestyles and bank balances and just telling you the world is yours all you need to do is take it! so guys put some gloves on open your hands up and snatch it before it lands over the fence!
New GnR band members if I got my wish, you guys have a great musical talent between yourselves. That all you would need to do is snag a good front man, write some songs or get songs written for you which wouldnt be hard with your talent and then smash out your own fuckin rock show and start taking the world down together one step at a time. I doubt I wouldnt have any reason not to listen to, rock out too and follow the progress of it. (even if maybe feeling a little obligated) you know provided it was just hard rock n roll for the most part.
P.s I do fly in fly out work and would love a reason to get a new job so if you have any positions going on your show I'm not an idiot, I learn fast, think for myself to get the job done on time and right, more than likely a pretty cool guy and very personable and always put work before pleasure just ask my fiance. So hook me up!!! but also the money has to be able to support atleast the same money distributing issues I deal with now.
GnR fuckers breath it
fuck I hope this works since I've never done posts before
Even the people who constantly bash the old-members.
Slash on Eddie Trunk right now talking about Duff/Axl reunion

Yeh man that was almost 10 years ago now. I mean I dont know about you but my mind would have forgot I'd even said that by now. and who knows maybe he took up gambling or taking drugs or maybe he's dreaming of being a telemarketer. Who knows?
