ChristianGNR Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Tommy's drinking a lot lately.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Axl seems to be really enjoying his time with Duff. Like I said, Axl seems to thrive on positive motivation, so who knows? Maybe an amicable split makes sense, with Tommy going back to the Mats full time, with Duff back home with Guns N' Roses.I do know this much: If Duff is back, my ass is going to Vegas.

Lio Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Also, I don't know the Golden Gods, but as it will be broadcast on tv and I've seen people here calling it a high profile event, I assume it has some importance. Isn't it strange that when the band is offered this opportunity to show itself to, well, maybe not the world, but a broad audience anyway, the bass player is replaced ? And not with just anyone, but with the much more famous, original bass player ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Sofine/Dazey (quote not working for some reason).I have really good sources close to Axl (one in particular), im not 'showing off' or anything like that, not my style but it is what it is, anyway..... I know FOR A FACT that Tommy was planned to be back for these awards and that was (**looks at emails..... 15th April). It's there in black and white, Duff's last shows were suppose to be "Fortaleza" I get a response from any emails within 48 hours and usually within hours to any serious question I have/I out forward for the community. I've emailed my source regarding the turn around of events and currently it's gone silent. That maybe a coincidence? It may be that Tommy couldn't make the awards too? but like I say, Tommy WAS due back for these awards, FACT! Something has changed be it genuine or otherwise, that's all I know guys Did you sources let you know why the 2-3 new songs weren't played? I'm sure you asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I've always maintained that if Axl loses the drive to release new music he should retire this lineup and get back as many of the classic lineup as he can. My bet is we'll be seeing more and more Duff as time wears on. Just look at the effect his inclusion had on ticket sales in Argentina (if the reports are to be believed). If Axl's playing for his retirement now, he has to be aware of the positive effect Duffy's presence has at the ticket gate. Agree with this, just farcical that apart from one great record and several talented players down the drain in 15+ years he's kept the name like a spoiled brat to gather money, some noble crusade. He's had every chance there could possibly be to build on the eventually successful CD tour. One new song tomorrow could save the war but I have my doubts for some strange reason.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK SUBS Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Coma I didn't ask no, it was stated 2014 and the year isn't finished/it was stated "The intension...." and in GNR world we all know what that means!! + other stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like Tommy a lot, but I'd be a liar if I didn't say I'd be kind of excited if Duff came back and replaced him.Maybe we'll get lucky in Bethlehem and Tommy will hold off from that show too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Sorry if I'm sounding ignorant here but I've not been paying a lot of attention in GnR world of late.

Has it been confirmed that Duff will be replacing Tommy at the Golden Gods thing?Yes, Duff and the band have confirmed it. And as Subs said, Tommy WAS supposed to be back for the awards show, but something changed (not sure what), and Duff is now filling in for him there as well.

Like I said earlier - Duff won't be in Vegas, that much is sure. It conflicts with a Walking Papers tour. Even if Duff will join GN'R full time, it won't be quite yet as he wouldn't let Walking Papers down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Maybe with the situation of Tommy not being able to perform in SA, Axl has found a way to terminate Tommy's contract?If The Replacements have more plans and touring in the pipeline I think Tommy can't handle both jobs. So maybe there's an amicable split.I guess we'll find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 What incentive financially or creatively is there for Duff to return? He may be the richest Gunner with his investments and he seems happy touring with Loaded/Walking Papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ah, good point Powerage. Didn't think about that. Ah well, better some shows with Duff back than none at all. Thing is, since Captain Axl refuses to release more music, a Duff full time return would've been the next best we could've hoped for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
