Teddy Zig Zag.

It would be nice seeing the original Pitman, you know? Let's have three keyboards players!

IMO, that facebook account was a fake one. Chris tweeted this on January:

@cpitmanofficial

The only facebook i have is my band @beatrazr , go there and Like it! 

Now that tweet seems to be deleted, but it was there, google it.

That's an old picture. I think from 2010 or so

I don't know for sure what role TB played on this. But if this doesn't redeem them I don't know what will. I mean this is probably the most expected thing ever in this band and they are making it happen. Still, people keep hating because Beta was a nanny.

Good lord.

There is no way that Slash will split solo duties with Forteuss.

"Hey Richard, you should play this solo which I write twenty years ago, while I stand here off to the side."

nuGNR apologists are fucking ridiculous.

Not on old songs you moron. But in CD material it could be possible (if they play CD material)

Would it really kill for someone from GNR camp officially say "guys, he won`t be there. Go to bed, you probably work tomorrow. Will be explained later"

Well, they kinda did yesterday...

He will confirm a tour, but won't go as far as saying its permanent. It will be billed as giving the fans what they want in a practical manner. The audience will then cheer.

Axl will make light of it being a terribly kept secret. He won't talk a whole lot about Slash but will say things are much better. He might confirm Duff was the reason for all of it.

All in all we will know where this starts but not know exactly how far it's going. The Guns N Roses reunion promotion starts now

Monumental promotion starts now!

"Representatives for the band, as well as Coachella producer Paul Tollett and agent Ken Fermaglich at United Talent Agency, could not be reached for comment."

says it all right there, Billboard are just reporting the same as everyone else, All heresay at this point created by imaginative poeple.

Hack journalism at it's finest

this is why I'm not overly excited yet. Not until we get official word from the band

Man, if BILLBOARD, the world's biggest music magazine is saying that it is happening its because IT IS HAPPENING.

A friend of mine just asked Fortus about all of this and he replied (via facebook). But I won´t tell you hahahahahaha

Nice try at trying to be on the inside. You failed. Job well done.

It reminds me of someone. Oh wait...

anyone seen this article from Epiphone of all people?

http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/News/2015/Guns-N-Roses-Reunion-Rumors.aspx

That's new to me. Seems really interesting. At least not the same reposted shit as usual

The world doesn't give a shit about Axl Rose today.

It's only us psychos here on the boards.

Yeah, that's why every time he gives an interview or even some of his tweets are reposted everywhere.

From Jose Norberto Flesch twitter : https://twitter.com/jnflesch

Alan Dutra: Can you confirm that Guns N'Roses will be announced today as headliner at Reading Fest?

Flesch: I only know that it will be an intense day.

What a great answer. If nothing happens he's not to blame. If it happens he would go like "I told you". Win-win

I hope this leaks for the general public someday. 2010 was a fucking great year and a proshot would be really nice to watch

lol who gives two flying fucks what kurt had to say

I do cuz the man was a fuckin' champion and worth a million of anybody around nowadays. Certainly worth a million Axl Roses. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he came up in an era of a million Axl Roses and uh...less said about the career of those Axl Roses after he came the better

I love Kurt Cobain and i will til my dying days. Champion lad. And just cuz we're on a GnR forum don't make the grass blue and the sky green.

Hell yeah. When you shoot yourself in the head then you know you're a fucking champion! Let's all do it. Let's be champions

Saw this today and had to share it with you guys

I think its from a guy from the forum, i cant remember his name

Lol He was fucking feeling it!

Richard gave an exclusive interview to a Cuban newspaper. It is in spanish obviously but I translated it. It may be a little weird because the interviewer did it in english, then translated it to spanish and publish it and now I am retranslating it back to english.

«Being in Cuba is a lifetime experience. Something I never thought it could happen», pointed Fortus, who studied in South Illinois University.

— How did a Saint Louis, Missouri's boy follow the rock-path when he was surrounded by Jazz?

—It's a long story. In Saint Louis you listen to Chuck Berry and others that were born there. There is certainly a lot of blues in town, but it is also a rock and roll city, not just jazz.

— You mention Jazz and I know you love blues, is there any not fulfilled dream about it?

— I love blues and jazz. They are part of my life. I grew up with them. I don't think I'm done with both stlyes, it would not make sense. I play those a lot, you know. I do it with orchestras in the US. I don't have intentios of playing solo, but I like playing with groups of this genre like Kim Massey and others.

—How much bands like Pale Divine, The Psychedalic Furs and Love Spit Love did influence your playing?

—All of those groups are part of me. I wrote song for them. I'm proud of have participated in those gropus, even though now I am with Guns n’ Roses and The Dead Daisies.

— The 2000s were amazing for you: You joined Guns N' Roses. What was the first thought that come through your mind when you were told 'You are part of the band'?

—It was a long time ago. I think it's been like 13 years. They gave me the news almost at the end of 2001. What effect it had? I had a little doubts. Obviously, I knew who they were, and the band members and their work, wich I liked a lot. It was different than other groups. But it was also another style, a lot different than what I was doing. However, I was very happy because I had friends in the group and I would play with them.

In that time Tommy Stinson, Robin Finck and Bryan Mantia were very good friends of mine. To me it was an interesting experience and I wanted to be a part of it.

-Guns N' Roses has marked hard rock in a phenomenal way. How is the band doing right now? There will be any new album?

— We are recording right now. We are finishing it. Right now we are thinking of releasing something new this year. I don't know if a full album, but there will be new music. And the band is doing great!

—Guns N' Roses would come to Cuba someday?

—I hope so. When we return home, we are going to talk great about this experience here in Cuba.

—Maybe you could convince Axl of coming

—I'll try. It's gonna be tough, but with what The Dead Daisies has been doing here, it will open the road to others bands to come here.

There is a couple more questions about The Dead Daises in the source, but this is all the GN'R related talk.

Sorry if there is any grammar mistake. Enligsh isn't my native language

It's a bit crazy to think that Axl couldn't work with Bucket, Bumbl or Slash, all of who are now producing some of the best work of their careers

Slash's best work was in GN'R, by far.

And we don't know how much Buckethead material is in the vault.

My first impressions:

Well, the first track 'Clots' is a bit annoying. That chorus... man, wtf? Had to skip it after the second one. This is the kind of Ron's material that I never liked.

Everybody knows the title track, is good.

Argentina - is pure magic. Maybe the more melodic part could appear a bit more, but it is great anyway! Nice vocals and guitar work. An epic song. It would have been a great GN'R song.

Don't Know Who to Pray Anymore - A nice ballad! I'm sure it will grow a lot on me. Great guitar works and vocals. A looong solo on the end

Livin' The Dream - Kind of a silly riff that works good with the song. Great chorus man, nice melody! Again nice vocals and guitar work. Really like this one

Cuterebra - Again, the kind of Ron's material that I don't like. Good guitars here and there, but I don't like the song overall.

Higher - Have some nice acoustic parts, I always like when Ron plays some acoustic. Anyway this is not an acoustic song by any means, it's more of a rocker. A good one! The chorus is really catchy, it works good! Nice solo on the end

Women Rule The World - Another good rocker. It's more Bumble's usual style than 'Higher', but is good.

Sleepwalking - Pretty good chorus again. Bumblefoot did a great work with the choruses in this album, except for the ugly one in the opening track, ha.

Eternity - Classic Bumblefoot. Could very well be on his 'Normal' album. That's good! Has that kind of vibe. I really like this kind of Bumble's material.

Never Again - A great rocker to finish the album. The chorus is catchy as hell! Never say never say never say never again.

I'm sure the album will grow a lote on me, but I really really liked it! It is a great Bumblefoot record, and maybe with time it could become my favourite of him. On the next listens will try to pay more attention to the lyrics.

Argentina sounds great. Really looking foward to this album

^ definitely my favorite performance of that song.

Axl was so fucking great in 2006.

The teaser sounds bad. I prefer Bumble's solo material

Thats s good whish! Deserves all my support! Still few weeks for the miracle. Fingers crossed. I still believe in this hype http://inthejungle.9...topic=25526&hl=

2 albums done (22 tracks) why not Xmas 2012 or first quarter 2013. Cant believe more touring without surprises. The endless may stop someday

You're being very naive man. It's impossible to put out an album in Xmas this year. I mean, there is only one freakin week left, release an album like that would be the ultimate flop of all times. New releases requires anticipation and promotion to sell well. Don't forget that this at the end of the day is simply a business. And you don't do business like that. Even an Early 2013 release it's doubtful, maybe a single, a announce or another kind of release (like a Blueray/DVD or Live CD) but a brand new album it's kinda more harder to release and take a little more time than that.

Being optimistic, mid/late 2013 we'll have a new album. Probably 2014 anyway...

or probably 2015

Lol

2016 at the soonest

This isn't like a full normal solo show of him, it's just him jamming with the crowd.

Let it Haunt You is a really good song.
