wasted Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Everyone wants a reunion but we can't force them if they don't want to. I think they did enough to get into HOF and that's enough. If they play together that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they play together that would be great.Is it a requirement that the inductees have to play?Seems this is causing more questions than answers and I would be surprised if Axl even turned up unfortunately. Shame as he seems the driving force of the band but then again the lead singers always get noticed more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It's not a requirement and they've had similar situations with VH and Blondie. So Guns isn't special in this regard.If Axl was going to go why didn't he just say I'll be there on Trunk?Everyone wants a reunion but we can't force them if they don't want to.

chicagocoma13 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 As much as I LOVE gnr......Rush and even Kiss are far more deserving at this date of time--IMHOCouldn't agree me. And so many others to add to that list as well but I won't get into that. As the years go by, its sad that I just end up getting excited for anyone on the ballot that I actually listen to. So its extremely disrespectful that Rush and KISS aren't even nominated, I find its pointless to dwell on it and its more worth my time to hope for GNR to get in over Donna Summers.Thank You---I'm sure GNR are so happy to be in the same class as Madonna, REM, ABBA, Blondie, and the Bee Gees.......rock on ?

As much as I love the guys in Velvet Revolver, their performance at the Van Halen induction was... questionable to say the least. Mostly Scott to be fair. Slash flubbed the intro but nailed the solo in Ain't Talkin' Bout Love.That commented also reminded me of this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKkGBgDJbqs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band actually was pretty tight after Slash's flub in the intro, but after forcing myself to watch Ain't Talkin' Bout Love 50 or so times, I still can't figure out what the fuck Scott was going for with this performance. His. Worst. Ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA89Tl8rj48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) They should do it like the Walk This Way video: have Axl and the new band on one side, and VR with Izzy on the other. Each band can start out playing original material before smashing the wall down and breaking into Jungle. Axl will then proceed to chin Scott Weiland with his mic stand, while a freshly escaped from Celebrity Rehab 6 Steven Adler runs on stage, kicks Matt Sorum in the balls, and pops behind the drum kit for a rollicking version of Civil War. That's how I'd like to see it done anyway. Edited December 9, 2011 by ITW 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbo Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I just hope Axl lets us know if he's gonna attend sometime before April.I'm excited for this. Big time. I'm glad it was handled right in terms of inductions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 "Touring juggernaut" is the biggest backhanded compliment I've ever heard. That's nothing more than nicely calling them an active cover band.If that's what Ali's hanging his hat on in differentiating from Cherone, well.... :xmassrudolph:In both VH's and GNR's cases, the Hall invited exactly who they wanted to induct. No real difference.That's your perception. I see that as saying that band is a great live band.Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns N Roses is dead. Long Live Guns N Roses.Thanks----agree------my thoughts as well.. Although ----I don't feel the band is dead. I still feel Axl is the heart and soul of GNR and still puts on the best show ever as a frontman.

suckerpunched03 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Congrats on making the easiest prediction in the world. Wow super insightful. Can you predict what color the oceans will be tomorrow? Or can you tell me if tomorrow will also consist of 24 hours ?Try reading the post next time and understanding what I mean.Internet cannot into sarcasmflayer, i liked your post(not that it matters) and i understood what you were saying. i wasnt talking to you with that reply, it was meant for some one else who was all like, "in your face i predicted the old gnr was huge, and people would like that shit more. thats not really a prediction but a statement of historical fact. and thats who i was trying to call out on it. then he said some other ridiculous shit about axl and the new gnr being completely irrelevant so i made an over the top sarcastic response. again, it wasnt meant for your post.

Allen8R Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think whoever really believes that anyone from the current band will get inducted into the RRHOF other than Axl and Dizzy need to step outside and take in a bit of reality. To induct a replacement musician who appeared on and contributed to one single album - one that is pretty much the most infamous album in the history of rock n' roll - would be a slap in the face to the very concept behind the RRHOF. Seriously, I love the new band and same goes for Chinese Democracy...but come the fuck on people, give your heads a shake!A8R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
