I saw that and fell for it... as usual. No news, just the world's most entitled fanbase arguing. Again.

Yes, it's a screenshot from the music video

I wonder if it's a label issue? That was the case last time, his label wouldn't let him perform on the record. Same sort of thing happened on the Classless Act album, too – Justin Hawkins was able to do a guitar solo, but wasn't allowed to sing on the song he appeared on. Damn, that's a horrible thought. I remember Apocalyptic Love like it was yesterday, but I'm about to turn 30. Horrible to see it written on like that 😂

Easy now 😂

It's been "back" for nearly a decade. We can stop talking like it's new or a novelty. The current lineup is the longest-serving one in the band's history

I stopped reading at "Jane Lynch as Duff McKagan?"

He probably knows these ones are off-limits for current GN'R so he's using SMKC as an outlet for them. In the past he's played GN'R songs with that band because it was his only band, now he doesn't need to do that

Philadelphia 2016 is probably the best one out there. Not soundboard, but very good. His final show, too. (And no, I don't have a link unfortunately. It's been years since I downloaded it)

Didn't know where to post this, but I figured here would work. Michael Jackson's drummer, Jonathan 'Sugarfoot' Moffett's take on Welcome to The Jungle

Exactly. I said this in another thread a while back. Stadium shows are just more cost-effective these days. It's obvious when bands like Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, The Who, and more are playing to half (or more) empty stadiums when they could easily sell out arenas. The cost to rent the places are probably closer, so those extra couple of thousand seats filled must be worth it, even if you're way off selling out. GN'R will be playing stadiums (somewhere at least) for the rest of their existence

So an AFD reunion would be Axl, Slash, and Duff, plus Dizzy and two other guys who weren't on AFD? In other words, basically what we have now 😂 Matt, I can understand the case for, but Gilby was a hired hand even moreso than Richard. It makes no sense to ditch Richard for him if Izzy's not available

A drummer who's not in the best physical shape and a guitar player who's not done a full live show in years – who's to say instrumentals would even sound good?

Well, given that the question is about an AFD reunion, obviously there's no question...

Sounds like it's already bleached from your brain 😂

Well technically Bucket replaced Robin, who replaced Slash. Robin then came back when Bucket was still in the band as an additional guitarist, so it's not totally wide of the mark

It's Chris Chaney.

Except it sounds nothing like Todd's speaking voice

I'd love it if Steven Tyler was on it. Didn't Slash want him on the last solo album, or he got him but the song was shelved? Something like that?

And yet he still didn't feature on any of the recent releases, so no sure why that matters 🤷‍♂️

That's proof enough. She's in the damn band and is his closest collaborator! 😂

He didn't play on Hard Skool, that was Brain. The only reason Frank hasn't played on any of the new singles is because they just had Slash, Duff, Richard, and Melissa work with completed parts (likely during lockdown) to get the songs over the line. It makes no sense to spend time and money rerecording the drums when Frank's not a prominent member and the existing tracks would suffice – especially since he likely doesn't have the luxury of a home studio to record drums in

Obviously it'd be Brain. He still tours with the band often and probably knows more of the back catalogue too

Tbf it wasn't a Guns N' Roses show, you're not going to find many casuals at an SMKC gig

I'm actually too busy to properly respond and was going to later (real life happens), but forget it. I don't owe you a proper reply
