the bottom line is that Axl can sound at least 50% better than the 2014 shows if he gets in shape.

stamina and lung capacity allow you to increase output (volume of sound) and vocal range. yes, his voice will never be the same from '85-'93 or so, but fitness can do wonders.

Absolutely but he just WON'T do it, will he (it would seem) ?

This is what I want at least

And sadly, we're going to get 2016 vocals, a whole NEW catagory...All the signs point to DOOM!
DID U HEAR THAT RADIO show with the boys from Steel Panther? They are big GNR fans and had 

some great things to say but they also said Axl is big on the carbs and hasn't been hitting the gym,

and now we're a month out! They also couldn't say much but basically confirmed he's not rehearsing and they're

"already fighting"....
I would love 2006 vocals like this post but a giant ice cube has more chance of surviving in hell....
I SO WANT TO BE WRONG THOUGH! 
 

for anyone that says "how do they know" - they explained the circles they keep - they're in the know a 

lot more than us, that's for sure! Everyone would want to jump on this reunion in a positive way and NOT 

look to negatives if there weren't any. absolutely! 

After being heavily rumoured to play the festival, it's been confirmed today - 
Biffy and Fall Out Boy confirmed as final "co-headlines" 
So still no GNR in Europe/UK yet...

Just wondering, how hard/easy has it been to acquire tickets to far guys?? 

I can't believe it'll be utter silence between now and vegas, even if that's the plan SOMETHNG will

leak out somehow, it always does! 
It would be much better if they themselves had some print interviews, a performance somewhere,

just to stoke the fires...The events are sold out now, so no need to sell anything unless we

actually get a bulk of dates and not one by one trickling out ! 
If Axl is comitted to this and has decided to do it, I just don't understand why he wouldn't want it to be more

of a deal. I guess he just has anticipating all the "What happened?" "Why Now" and "So what have you been doing for 20 years"

questions...and really can't be fucked with them! 
The offers have to be coming on a daily basis though! 

Nice! Never heard this, so I appreciate this thread even just for that reason! 
Great track....nice subtle guitar too

Who is he

Bassist in Slash's band

Glad Richard is still in the band, he's actually been great and very reliable the last 15 years! Seems easy going and will fit nicely with Slash!

So, not that anyone cares, but do we thinks this puts to bed "Soon" CD2 ever coming out?

Still cool to see! I see now they've added Pitman, Dizzy, Fortus and Frank!

So wtf was that picture then

2012 Interview Promo

It doesn`t look like he will be on at all.

And the show sucks.

Be interesting if he talks about it at all when Jon appears, since he is the replacement! No mention so far, maybe he doesn't want to make fun

in-case he gets them yet, so not to burn bridges, or perhaps it's been left open and promised for a later date!

Same, nothing yet....Highly doubtful, why wouldn't they want to hype this, IF he does appear, I expect the internet to meltdown though!

There are plenty casuals who still have NO idea about this, people that still rely on TV for most of their news....

Axl dressed as a Navi from Avatar just appeared

Why would you need priority tickets for a festival? Surely it is a free for all?

Not Coachella man, VERY hard to get tickets usually!

Yea, at this stage, it's all so super understated like "So what!" That has to change, this should be major!

If you're gonna do it, GO BIG or go home!

It hasn't reached the casuals yet, it was news to a few of my friends! So there has to be something a bit

more than this to tide us over the next 100 days

incident??

the way they're handling it, is too vague,

it could've worked 10 years ago, but people have become too skeptical about GN'R nowadays... you have to give them more.

THIS ^

GNR management sure knows how to turn a reunion with Slash into something much less interesting than it should be

Come on, how about a press release stating who is in the band? Or actually have Axl appear on Kimmel? Or have Axl, Slash, and Duff pen a note together saying that they are excited to get the show on the road?

Yea! This is major huge news and it's been treated with less fanfare than a NuGNR announcement! If Axl is onboard with this, and he has to be, he holds the keys....Why wouldn't

he want to make a big deal of it (so far) ??

Chinese Democracy was partly ruined by NON promo! The reunion better not be!

"For all the details" ....
OK, we shall see I guess.

so in 35ish minutes we shall see...

I'm not on there, who posted that? Is it all run LA time, yea?
Standby would mean sometime this day surely...

They all go to do an online chat? Saw a post saying we don't want to miss tomorrow on the boards over there? (from a mod)

Surely, all they need to do is update the official website with a press release, how difficult is that? Instead they just have the crowd trailer and the dates in the event section! What's stopping a proper press release? It must be on the way, surely!
If not coming on Kimmel, surely some other form...

The offers of magazine covers, shows etc must be coming thick and fast at the moment!

When is this announcement due people?
