Slash on Eddie Trunk right now talking about Duff/Axl reunion

[gnrfan2007]

Why doesn't Slash just "magically" find a room at the same hotel as Axl while they are on tour ... then "magically" run into him in the hallway ... then "magically" suck Axl's cock so that Axl will invite him on stage?

Slash can just make up an excuse that he was "there for business" and would save face.

It worked for Duff ... so why can't it work for Slash?

LMAO!!!

No reunion is going to happen. The best anyone of you Slasholes can wish for is a "guest spot" - and that is already asking for too much.

The only people who would benefit from a reunion are: Steven, Slash, Duff, and Matt.

Izzy could give a rats ass. He gets stage fright on the big stage. Slash, Duff, and Matt need exposure for the new VR band. Steven, the poor soul, has been living his AFD days for like the past 30 years, he just needs a taste of the "real thing" one last time ... before he ODs for good.

A reunion does nothing for Axl. A reunion would be the end of Axl and any new GnR music.

Like it or not, GnR is what is today. CD is closer to the experimental and edgy sound of AFD than all the non-ballads on UYI and any of the other music put out by any of the old members.

Now remember folks why the old GnR broke up. Axl wanted more creative music from the band, while folks like Slash and Duff were stuck to their current sound - which by the way has not progressed one bit. Had Axl agreed to release music like that found on Snakepit or Duff's loaded crap, GnR would have surely died in '96 for good. And VR was (or is) no better either.

So just be happy that Axl knew well enough what was in the best interest in GnR's long term success.

Thanks to Axl's decisions, GnR still lives today and still has the opportunities to continue to create experimental and edgy new music that nobody else can match in both skill and creativity.

So, here is a toast for CD II, CD III, CD IV, and so on.

The past needs to stay buried in the past. Live and let die!

[GNR123GNR456]

Many count on the 'never say never' philosophy for GnR.

Maybe that goes for GnR.

But Axl ain´t GnR, and therefore, never will be.

you're right

Axl is GN'R now.

Guns N Roses is Axl Rose, DJ Ashba, Bumblefoot, Richard Forus, Tommy Stinson, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman and Frank Ferrer.

I agree with a lot of what you said but Axl's failure to release new music hasn't exactly helped his cause. I like the album we got but he should really have at least 3 albums out by this point. There would be a lot less reunion focus on the boards if Axl had regularly released new albums and toured them right after they came out. He's allowed the public to think that he can't get it done on his own, and that he'd have a better chance of getting things done with the old band. They managed to release 3 studio albums and 1EP from 87-91. And in comparison New GNR has managed to release 1 album from let's say 99-2010.

Great Post by gnrfan2007.

And u think it was reallly Axl's choice not release more music?? He called CD a "nightmare" and finding himself in the nightmare which he "can not wake up from" Yeah thats doesnt tell u anything though. I mean Axels just an asshole. Go Slash. The fact that he also said its a "miracle" CD was even released in the first place means shit too.

It was his choice not to do any publicity for the album when it was released. Axl could have said fuck it to the record company and done his own gorilla marketing campaign. Rolling Stone would have definitely given Axl the cover if he'd phoned them up and asked to do an interview to mark the release of CD. He could have easily gotten on any late night talk show, too. But none of this happened. Axl does what he wants and that's fine. It's entirely up to him and I have no problem with that. Fans just want music and tours from the bands they love and when they think that a different line of the band can give them that than that's what they are going to post about. Unfortunately some people on here only see things in terms of Axlites vs. Slashites.

- the sound of CD is not even close to AFD

- for example: AC/DC, they are a great band with a tons of great songs and a huge fanbase, but they haven't changed their music/sound huh...well, and who says that if you are loyal to your roots is a bad thing?

- ...Axl knew well enough what was/is in the best interest in HIS long term "success".

- well, some would say that GN'R still lives today, some that just the name lives today, some that Guns N' Roses (the band) are dead.

But yeah, I agree with you at the point, that reunion will never happen...urfotunately or not...

[Bumble's Bridge Pickup]

well, and who says that if you are loyal to your roots is a bad thing?

I do If everyone stuck to their roots, no one would ever discover anything new.

[trqster]

It'll never happen and Slash knows it. Truth hurts but it is what it is...

[STARABOSTES]

Trunk really getting him to open up! Pretty interesting stuff. I'm paraphrasing here: Slash says the bad stuff between him and Axl only comes from that final period in 96. "If Axl wants to do it, we need to talk, and I want to do it. We need clean up the personal stuff, and business stuff. It's seems like it will be a fun cool thing to do. We have to do it different than 91, 92, and I just don't think that is possible. But, it's hard to say what is going on with all that stuff. I haven't been thinking about it, but need to. Steven has the best thoughts about it, "let's do it", but he wasn't there from 91-96. I'm done talking about it.

Slash stating in same sentence he wants a reunion, but then saying not possible.

______________________________________________________

Disclaimer, I have no argument or personal desire for or against a reunion. I love the new band, and of course would love a reunion. As long as I see either again soon, I'm cool.

WHERE ARE THE MODERATORS?

THIS IS ABOUT PAST MEMBERS!

man, I am sick n' tired of all of you nostalgic of your youth people.

growing up is a bitch, but hey you've made it, with or without GNR.

so get your topic out from here, HERE'S THE "NEWS" SECTION!

please, please let your personal desire not get in a way of understanding what the notion of news means! ok?! peace.

AFD was as good as it got, and even that sounds dated.

A new studio mix feat. the original Axl vocals, with Brain, (re recodred) Slash, and Buckethead would be interesting to hear.

[DrBrownstone]

Ok let's put it in perspective:

If all the members of U2 would leave expect Bono, and Bono would hire some (unknown) musicians to play with him the old songs under the U2 name: would you than call it U2?

I wouldn't care. I would call it what they want me to call it becuase it's just a label. But if the music they created sucked, I would move on. And if I liked it I would continue to support the band whatever the label read.

And each person has to make that same decision, it can't be made for them. And it looks like LOTS of people still recognize the GnR label today as applying to Axl, BBF, DJ, Richard, Frank, Dizzy,Tommy...

That's just not true at all. Ask any non-die hard GNR fan, and they can't name one other member of the current line up aside from Axl. No, not even homeless vagabond-turned keyboard player Dizzy Reed.I would say about half of the people I talk to don't even know GNR still exists, and the other half know Axl has a bunch of no name raffle winners playing as his employees. No matter how much you want the mainstream media and everyone to accept this band as Guns N' Roses, it's just not going to happen, ever.

[The Glow Inc.]

Yet dates sell out, yet people show up to meet n' greets with Bumble and DJ, yet people buy 5 million copies of Chinese Democracy, Axl's "solo album".

[DrBrownstone]

I'll use myself as an example here, since I'm sure a lot of people are similar to me. I discovered GNR around the age of 12, back in '98-'99. I had a patch on my backpack with the old logo that Matt Sorum had on his bass drum from the Illusion tour. A lot of the kids thought it was lame, because at that time, GNR weren't the most popular band to like. Anyways, I read every article, looked at old issues of Kerrang and Spin magazines, learned everything there was to know about the band, rare tracks, etc. When Oh My God came out, my brother and I were excited just to hear Axl's voice and see what he'd been doing for the past 5 years. By no means did we accept this new band as GNR, but beggars cant be choosers. I think of the new GNR as a good rock band, but not at all comparable to the original line up. It's just too disingenuous to consider a real, cool rock band. However, given the chance, I'd love to meet Ashba, Bumblefoot, Stinson, etc. just because they are a part of Axl's band, and that's still cool to me. So obviously I'm going to buy Chinese Democracy, obviously I'm going to shell out whatever money it costs to see them live, but that's because of Axl, not the other members of the band.

[The Glow Inc.]

Yeah I know what you're saying but I'd say that most casual Guns n' Roses fans don't care much about Izzy, Steven, Matt and even maybe Duff either.

It's about Axl and Slash in a lot of people's eyes...

[Orsys]

I was a fan of the music back in the day. The band to me was Axl, the guy with the hair and the funny hat and the other guys. That was GnR to me. To be honest Slash's guitar always sounded a little circusy, pop rock, but I liked it. There was room for that.

Yes it was those guys who created that music but so what? They either got fired or quit. Gone. But I'm still hearing the music coming from the band that Axl didn't give up on. And they play it great and they play the later songs great.

Personally, I hope that if Slash and Axl ever play again, it will not be in the scope of a GnR reunion because I don't see how the CD songs get played and I love that album. I hope it's more like just getting together under no name to play the AFD songs. I don't really care if the other guys are there, though I understand how others might prefer that.

[SlashFinck666]

That's a really moral way of looking at it. Axl does deserve all the credit. Once some gets fired or quit they don't deserve anything.

Sorry, where did I say any of that? Read all the words not just every other one.

I gave those guys the credit. You threw the Axl comment in. I never said they don't deserve anything, they deserve recognition and royalties which they get. But they left and Axl kept it going. Now they want to come back and Axl is supposed to put the brakes on and change everything to provide that for them? And we are supposed to lose opportunity to hear CD songs.

I don't mind you disagreeing or debating me, but don't put words in my post and then bash them.

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
