Duda Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 "Our 10 Greatest Hopes and Fears for 20122012 is going to be a big year for music. We hope these people don't screw it up."Guns N' Roses Get Into the Rock Hall and Roll Hall of FameHope: Of course, the dream is that Axl sucks it up and plays a mini-set with the original lineup at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in Cleveland. Then we hope it goes so well that the band goes on tour and records an amazing new album. This scenario is incredibly unlikely.Fear: After months of rumors, Steven Adler is the only member of Guns N' Roses to actually show up at the ceremony. He winds up playing on "Paradise City" with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra. Rolling Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsalinger Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Some interesting things in there, didn't realize Beach Boys were doing a reunion of sorts, new Van Halen and U2 albums on the way along with a new E-Street Band tour and album. As for GnR, I really hope Axl decides to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsalinger Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It's just a sad story. The guy gets kicked out of GNR, still can't get off the drugs and ends up having a stroke and heart attack. Even after he gets sober and does this interview with Hard Copy, he eventually goes back to the drugs despite how badly they ruined his life. Unbelievable.

Use Your Delusion 1 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 there is no doubt Slash will be there, in fact I think even Izzy will show as he said "I did write most of the songs after all". Perhaps we can get a look at what Velvet Revolver could have been (with duff and Izzy on vocals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with this article, whatsoever. Some posters on this board are the most emo people I have ever seen. Sure, it's "speculative" because guess what, the article is specifically about speculating what might happen in the future since most of us don't have time machines. As for "sensationalism", this is just silly. Okay, the writer would like to see a GNR reunion, as do many people, even though a lot of hardcore fans are quite happy with the current band, but they didn't say anything insulting or factually incorrect. Save the faux outrage for articles that actually are outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

there is no dana only zool Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If GN'R were broken up (as in, no lineup at all, old or "new"), then I'd say it would be ok to wish for the "Hope" to manifest, but speaking out like that when they're well aware of the current lineup is just disrespectful. What dicks. At least word it a little bit differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A.M.A's have changed as well,it used to be watchable.And before you hop down the Rabbit Hole too far trying to elicit an emotional remark for your own Gratification,Newsflash Axl owns the GNR name,he brought it in with him its only right for him to perform under that name.If you don't or can't comprehend that simple principal why would you waste your time on this forum?

dalsh327 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 What's funny is that the majority of people have little to no expectation of Axl showing up at all. If he makes an official announcement saying he's def. not going, people are just going to yawn. Not saying anything gets people somewhat excited. Showing up for the award will make tuning in worth it. Playing a set will make it one of the best appearances of all time. Rolling Stone doesn't have to define rock and roll - we all do it every day. Wenner's Country Club is just one aspect of the Rock Hall, and complaining about it is like complaining about the Hard Rock Cafe for using memorabilia to get you in to buy a beer and have a burger. To me music history is in the recordings and learning how to play music more than it is about the image part of it, even though that's almost as important. Music has to outdo the image, otherwise you look like Dave Navarro in a Mariah Carey video pretending to play a Def Leppard cover, or an actor using a guitar as a prop. Fashion is important in the GNR family - the look of a rock star prob. helped some of them get work, but have the skills to back it up. But you've seen what GNR looked like before they were rock stars. It was inside them though, on their bedroom walls, in their heads, and all that.

Flayer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Reunions All AroundHope: The Beach Boys can't be the only major rock reunion on the road this year. Here's hoping that the Talking Heads, the Smiths, the Fugees, Pink Floyd, the Kinks, Led Zeppelin or OutKast finally come to their senses and get the bands back together.Fear: The Cars will tour again, and somehow play even worse than they did on their dreadfully boring 2011 reunion tour. Notice a conspicuous abscence? They weren't asking for a Guns reunion at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
