Meanmachine22 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) The old band will not perform.Never ever ! They might be together on stage accepting the award or whatever is handed out to Hall of Famers but performing ? NO.And it is pretty simple why they won't perform : Like mentioned earlier in this thread GNR changed it's face and in 2012 there is no Slash nor Duff etc in GNR.Axl will not perform with anybody except with the current members because they are GNR ! It would be disrespectful to them.I peronally don't care about the Hall of Fame and i don't care about Slash and Axl reuniting for one evening or not.The truth is that it won't happen Edited March 9, 2012 by Meanmachine22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 and whats Paul Shaffer's involvement Paul Shaffer is the musical director of the RRHOF ceremonies,pretty much since their inception.He knows,or will know,exactly what is going to go down on that stage....(musically).For example...if something goes down along the lines of Slash jamming Sweet Child with Paul's house band and a guest vocalist...it WILL be rehearsed,if even only the night before....or that afternoon perhaps.Keep in mind this is a fairly scripted show.If any sort of jam goes down with GnR music that night,I expect it to be a similar scenario as I suggested here.Slash loves to jam,I can't see him passing this opportunity up...but we'll see.

Ashbagirl69 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I will admit I am young and didn't grow up in the era of Slash in GNR. But I don't see any reason why Axl shouldn't perform with the current GNR. That is what Blondie did. I don't think the HOF is a big of a deal as people might think. Axl is sounding great lately so why not showcase the new band if this ever winds up on HBO. Even so, Axl rarely takes the stage until he is good and ready, so maybe he won't perform at all. But if he does, I want the current Guns N' Roses to peform because I am more concerned with them making their own legacy then trying to resurrect something that went on before most of us were even born.

twenty-nine Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I hope everyone from the classic lineup plays but Axl. Then it would truly come to light how petty the man can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I hope everyone from the classic lineup plays but Axl. Then it would truly come to light how petty the man can be.Can he truly be as petty as someone that wishes the only original member besides Izzy wouldn't perform?I don't think so.

DaneisKing1389 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I don't think they'll play, but who knows? GN'R and Axl have been both spontaneous and erratic, so it'll be entertaining either way.That is the best answer of the thread. Close it. Nobody is gonna top that.Remove the confirmed part of the thread. He deleted it, which means he either wasn't supposed to say it or it's untrue.

VillageGorillaHead Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Like Axl stated last year, it's possible he might just perform again with Slash and Duff here and not Steven or Izzy. I'm not to concerned personally I'd rather see them at some random one off show.Wasn't that a hypothetical reunion tour situation and Axl was just arguing why it would not be a true "reunion"...? I don't think is bears on how RnRHOF will go down.I predict many up and downs and "rumours" to emerge during the remaining few weeks leading up to the event...Yes but what I meant was that if anything were to happen I'd believe that would be it.I hate when people say that Axl said that he'd reunite with Slash and Duff - it was clearly him saying they'd be the only people that would make it a proper reunion!Not saying everyone in this quote said that, just in general!

It's just the way you said "Like Axl stated last year, it's possible he might just perform again with Slash and Duff here and not Steven or Izzy." kinda unsettled me... It just looked like you were saying that Axl said he would possibly perform with Slash and Duff but actually he was just hypothesizing... I just interpreted it wrong.

Zint Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks to jb for ths insight, I'll grab the source when he posts itSo the source is the tweet below?https://twitter.com/#!/futurerocklgnds/status/177519054779711490Future Rock Legends...a Facebook and Twitter account...and a website that doesn't show up when I click the link?THAT'S the confirmed source?

sleeper Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The fact that there has been denial on Paul Schaffer's part means that someone did not agree with the no "performance statement". If there is not a performance some of you might want to wait and see the entire picture the night of the inductions. To assume that Axl is the problem or that he and Slash could not get it together is premature. Once the whole picture is revealed the night of the induction the musical questions will be answered.

DaneisKing1389 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm confused? All this was due to a hack, and nobody knows for sure what's gonna happen yet, right?Not that I know of. It seems Paul Shaffer spoke out his ass and for people that he shouldn't be speaking for. Slash said that before when it was announced in the middle of December that they'd all be there. He specifically said "don't speak for me."I imagine that they're all going in with an open mind. They're probably not really expecting to play, but will feel the situation out. You bet your ass the Hall will bend over backwards to make accommodations for the band if, by some chance, they decide at the VERY last minute, "hey, we'll play a few." They'll always be prepared. It's logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
