DangerousCurves Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm not sure why the is guy is pointing to Duff playing as a sign of a reunion. Duff and Izzy have both played several times with Axl in recent years. They're just jamming. It's cool. Why, all of a sudden, does THIS time mean a reunion is inevitable? I'm a total reunionist at heart but let's not read more into this than there actually is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) ^^^^ It's a good point. Over the past 14 years, Axl has played with 2/4 of the other Appetite lineup members and 3/5 of the other Illusions lineup members, and has mended his fences (or at least met and spoken with in a polite and civil manner) with everyone except Slash. Everyone. I'd wager that Steven is back on his shitlist because of the constant pleading for a reunion and the things he's said in the press, but the point remains that Axl has reconciled with every AfD and Illusions musician except for Slash.And there's been no movement for a reunion with any of that. There's been no movement to get everyone together and play. Why would Duff possibly change anything? It's true that he seems to be the one classic member who understands and gets along with Axl on a level that could possibly lead to working together again on a regular basis, but there's no indication that Duff wants to play ambassador between Axl, Slash and Steven.I'd imagine that one of the reasons that Duff HAS been able to work with Axl is because he is able to work with the current GnR lineup and respects them as professional peers; if he were angling for a reunion there'd be a conflict of interest there.

Sisyphus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Well he's not Axl's former manager but a personal assistant and he doesn't know what he's talking about. A reunion would be a bad idea at this point because there would be no winner. Even the purists wouldn't be satisfied. The magic that once was will not be recreated. The name itself has already endured irrepairable damage, no need to ruin the untouchable awesomeness of the old band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Axl might consider letting Slash play on a few new songs and guest at a few shows IF HE APOLOGISED PUBLICALLY for a whole bunch of stuff that he recollects differently to Axl. These people haven't had anything to do with Axl in decades. Marc Canter has sat and talked for hours with Axl about Slash etc within the last 10 years so he's far more reliable than these berks. He says the only thing that'll sort it out is if Axl and Slash get locked in a room, beat the shit out of eachother then sit down with a marriage counselor. But fuck that. I want Chinese 2, CD The Remixes and a chainsaw taken to the 2001-2014 era setlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeaxl Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Poor old popcorn. No one gives a shit about him. He's talked shit about axl to much to be asked back. I think Matt would be the drummer. If he had not talked shit in 06 about axl I believe he would have guest spotted by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 The reason the reunion isn't happening anytime soon is because of how Axl views Slash's intentions. Axl genuionly cares about Slash. That's why he's hurt by Slash leaving him in the 90's.Axl thinks the only reason why Slash wants to make things ok and the only reason he showed up at his house was to make money off him. He thinks Slash wants a reunion so he can profit off it. In other words Axl thinks Slash is trying to use him and doesn't actually care about him.It would take Axl believing that Slash actually cares about him for a reunion to happen. Disturbing if true. They were not lovers, nor BFF's by most accounts. Axl needing Slash to "care" about him is bizarre. I think Slash should stay away from Axl if this is the case.Is it far fetched though? Axl actually caring about someone. He's been known to be affected by relationships before. I imagine he valued the partnership him and Slash had musically. He felt betrayed by Slash leaving. Who knows? I think it's hard to understand how Axl feels. He's a very different person in terms of emotion than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 55 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Could the music industry just give the fuck up on this one?there's more demand for a gnr reunion than for anything related to nugnr, that's how it is Axl could care less.How much less could he care? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickzark Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Both Axl and Slash are egoists and selfish that i dont believe they can work together again in this life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slash23579 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Slash sold himself out over these past few years. As much as I love him and his music, he really is a sell out. A reunion with GnR and Axl would mean big money and big publicity to him, which is why I'm sure he would reunite with Guns.Axl, on the other hand, seems to have a lot more pride. He would probably view a reunion with Slash as himself giving up or selling out, which is why I don't think Axl would ever want to reunite with Slash.Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass and have no idea what I'm saying, who knows?

Having a go at Axls wife however shitty she was to him and he to her would still I think hurt a guy like Axl who holds grudges lk crazy and takes disrespect and shit like that to the heart.

SWINGTRADER Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I would be all in favor of a reunion if Axl still had a voice left. His voice is so embarrassing nowadays that it would tarnish the great memories I have of the old band.The time for a reunion was around 2006-10.I don't care for it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he could put on performances that good consistently for a huge tour but he still has the ability to sound great on any given night.. And it was three straight nights to end the residency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he works with Scott Weiland again,then yeah he's compromising. He's built a band from the ground up under his own name and sticking with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourcrazy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 People need to stop writing and speculating about this. If there was any chance of this happening, the Rock n Roll HOF induction would have started the process in motion. Unfortunately, we all know how that turned out. It's pretty obvious Axl has absolutely zero interest in this. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either in denial or delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha It is an interesting read but we generally prefer it if years old threads aren't bumped, if it became common place D&N would end up a confusing mess.
