I'm in shock about it but for kind of a bad reason, as I agree with most of the above.

At this point, I see absolutely nothing that says this isn't 100% about the money which shocks me. I didn't think any of them would do something like this just for the money, so that's what shocks me. I'd love to be wrong and may still be proven to be so. We'll see what happens I guess, but that angle of it takes a LOT of the fun out of it for me.

Agreed. So far, this really appears to be a cash-grab. In and of itself, that isn't a bad thing, but it's disappointing, considering the history behind GNR.

The only way this wouldn't be a cash grab is if new music is part of it. But it looks like we're just going to get the same tired setlists that Axl has been dishing out for the past decades, except now we have Slash and Duff up there.

I can't imagine Frank being as interesting to listen to. Not saying he isn't a nice guy, but he doesn't seem to have much personality. Which is probably why Axl has kept him around tbh, he's easier to control.

Paul Tobias, Del, Dizzy, Pittsman, Frotruss, Tommy Stusson----

Axl keeps these people around because they happily shut up and do as told. Getting paid mega bucks to play pretty simple music which other people wrote? Yeah, it's a pretty easy decision to make.

No more covers!

Fernando: We're having a special three hour meeting this year!

Beta: Complaints complaints complaints

Axl (Several years later): And now, here's our amazing new song: THE SEEKER! And I won't even sing on it! I'll just go backstage and eat cheeseburgers while the Duff lookalike I hired sings it! You're welcome, GNR fans!!!!

I don't see new material happening. That would require a lot of actual hard work, which I don't think axl can do anymore.

Man, the sheer and open disdain for Axl's employees is hilarious.

Haha yeah I'm sure the concerts have sold out because people just can't wait to hear Silkworms.

There will be no new gnr recodings. This is a cash grab tour, and there's nothing wrong with that.

If an imaginary new album happens, then I'm sure ill be produced by Caram and cowritten by Paul Tobias. Axl will never admit how colossally his moronic idiotic chidem failed.

Not trying to sound gay or anything... but as I was watching some old gnr concerts on youtube today, it dawned on me that Axl used to go shirtless onstage often during the original band days, however I don't recall if I've ever seen him go shirtless with nu-gnr? Do you all think he will go shirtless for the reunion? I really just noticed because I always thought he had the best tattoos of all rock stars.

Trying or not, you succeeded fabulously.

I kind of wish Ron and Dj had made the next GNR album. For whatever reason things didn't move forward in that way. The reunion is really the answer to why.

Yeah? And why not shop-teacher Bob and Kevin's dad Thomas from the local VFW make the next GNR album?

Ron and DJ have NOTHING to do with why GNR was popular. They're as justified in making the next GNR album as you or me.

He came, he saw, he made a lot of money playing Slash and Izzys music.

Man, it's shocking to look back and see how pathetic Axl is.

WTF that Axl photoshop?

Yeah that´s how he should look. I doubt very much that´s what we are going to see

I'm glad someone else noticed this.

They just vertically stretched Axl's photo to make his fat ass look fit. But instead, he looks like an alien.

Meanwhile, no photo manipulation needed for Slash and Duff.

Only have Slash & Richard so far. But GnR needs 3 guitar players live or else songs would sound very diluted in comparison to the post 2000 shows.

Geez. You know that some bands only have one guitarist and still sound fine?? They got Slash back, so they don't need a third guitarist.

U2, Muse, the Police, the Killers---

They all sound fantastic live with ONE guitarist. Fuck this whole three guitar bullshit.

The price of tickets will find its level.

It's starting high, of course, but if the demand isn't there, then the price will come down.

For anyone really on the fence, I'd say wait and see what happens with the first shows.

Yeah, this means Popcorn isn't on for Vegas.

I'd imagine they're still working on the possibility of him guesting somewhere down the line. Either that, or they're PRETENDING to be working on it, in order to keep Adler's mouth shut.

Pretty sad either way. Very clearly, he is capable of performing at least one of the songs for which he composed the drums.

Axl just flat-out hates Steven.

Some high quality circle jerking over Oh My God here.

It's a totally inconsequential song in the history of rock music, unlike AFD, Lies, and UYI.

No.

Holy crap, he sounds so amazing here.

Then again, 2001 is only 8 years from 1993, when GNR was on top.

But 2016 is 23 years from 1993.

He could easily get into good shape if he felt like it.

Strict calorie limits, good diet, moderate exercise.

But from the looks of it, he's just grabbing a bottle of water and going oh the occasional walk in his neighborhood.

Fa Clube!

Oh also Ron is sad. Talk about going from zero to hero to zero!

It's quite comical how huge the hype has been since he and dj and stusson left while Slash and Duff came back.

You know it's gotta sting Ron, esp since he was going on all those weird Phillipines TV shows playing SCOM by himself on acoustic guitar.

Serious question, are you autistic? If so, please ignore

I suggest you do some reading and learn more about autism.

Just being a cock, obviously

Your "hurrr durrrr Ron plays for hot meals in the third world" comments have gone from annoying to just sad. Most of your posts seem to be that copied and pasted. I remember you being a jerkoff when he came on here a few years back, too.

It's cool not to like someone's music, but you just come off as a pathetic loser

Ah well, hope I didn't upset you

Then you're insane, because I don't remember Ron "coming on here" ever.

And yes, I get so upset about anonymous internet posts. I cried.

Good for Adler!

Good lord, that title.

As a business professional, is not take the risk with GNR either, not without an ironclad contract. Like, they get paid only for whatever percentage of their time slot they play.

But overall, shit like Reading or wherever he did the bullhorn thing just tarnishes the reputation of the venue and the organizers. Their customers aren't happy, and as a business person, you ALWAYS keep your customers as happy as possible.
