ITG Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Collectively they must have been in the band for over 40 years if you add up all that time they've spent individually. If they all left and were replaced, would it no longer be the GN'R they came to enjoy to some fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin White Duke Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It would still be GNR for DizzyReedSexMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) It isn't even GN'R now, it's Axl and a bunch of employees who play the songs they're told to play very well! Edited April 5, 2014 by The Black 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 As long as Chris Pit(t)man is still in GNR, it's all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I love this lineup and I'd be pissed and disappointed if something like that happened (unless it was a reunion). But lets be honest, as long as Axl is there... then whatever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdeyahlxp Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 If that would happen Axl should suck it up and reunite already. No need to squander anymore time by building ANOTHER NuGnR from scratch. I do think especially some younger fans would be bummed out if they left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Wizard Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) As long as there's Axl Rose it'll still be Guns N' Roses.But if Ron leaves it'll be a hard hit to recover...for me at least. Edited April 5, 2014 by Pinball Wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Gn'R hasn't been Gn'R since about 1996. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Well, that one girl/guy/South American thing will be disappointed for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 No, it would actually mean we'd get GNR back, because I agree that it would mean Axl would HAVE to reunite. He's too old to start something new if he lost more than one person.Most likely it would actually mean Axl would just stop making music all together. That would be fine with me as well because it would save him future embarrassment. So if they all left, we'd either get real Guns back or Axl finally calling it a day a few years too late. Damn, you've just made me excited in hoping that they actually do leave cause its a win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTD Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) If the lot left some rainy Sunday evening when band isn't mid-tour..Around 10000 people would know of it within a week.Around 1000 people would care of it.Around 100 people would have negative feelings about one or more of those guys leaving.Around 10 would be sad.

MEXzilla Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Zzzzzz*dumb topic* And it hasn't been GnR for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think anymore line up changes and nothing released would be overkill, he's had enough people through the revolving doors to do something else by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Axl has always been a colossal cog of GNR, even it's ''soul'' I would grudgingly concede as translucently acceptable but he does not play enough instruments to carry the whole weight of the band, he's not a Trent Reznor or Billy Corgan or Dave Mustaine. He needs amazing musicians around him to achieve the vision, which he does drive for sure. He is not the whole facade of the band though since he does not have a complete grip on the texture of sound even though he knows what he wants, it's not the same thing.

chevelle Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'd lose the tiniest little bit of give-a-shit I have left, if that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashisGOD Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) GN'R died in 1996, they are anything but alive. This is the Axl Rose Experience, which is a very bad experience.As for the thread topic, I wouldn't give a shit at all (in the case of DJ be very fucking happy) and would hope that Axl would have enough sense to step out of his fantasy world and get the real band back together.

niceguy Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 To answer the OP: yes.Also, to *some* people, it would no longer be GNR if the guy who changes the guitar strings is no longer there. So it's not like it means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
