[FALSE] Axl joining Slash's brazilian tour.

[tomfriend]

Other thing is Axl doesn't really have a band at the moment. He wouldn't be hurting NuGNR by doing this and besides it's Slash's show. Not a GNR show, so that makes it simpler.

If Slash, Axl and Duff are onstage performing together the press will call it Guns N' Roses regardless of how it's billed.

[KeyserSoze]

Someone might have already mentioned this, but didn't slash also tweet Axl happy birthday...? Is that normal or is that another "sign".?

[Damn_Smooth]

Are people unable to read the giant [FALSE] tag in the title of the thread or are they simply incapable of understanding what it means?

[ZoSoRose]

You idiots can't actually believe this

[BreakDown2014]

I know this was already asked but does this guy holds any reputation? He would really be putting it in line for all this crap

[tinyrobot]

I'm not saying Axl will change or has changed, or that a reunion is likely, but I don't see how anyone can say definitively that it will never happen. So Axl said some dumb shit about cancer and "not in this lifetime." Well, Axl's kind of like a child. He says lots of ridiculous things and his moods are all over the place. How could we possibly say never? We simply don't know what that crazy fuck will do.

Pretty much this.I'm not holding my breath for a reunion any time soon, but the people who point to Axl's statements about Slash as if it's some kind of definitive statement on the matter...well, let's put it this way: I remember reading an interview with Chris Cornell when he was promoting his second solo album post-Audioslave, where he swore he would never play with Soundgarden again. He said they'd gone out on top, the personalities had clashed and they had nothing left to prove by getting back together, and he was adamant about it.When his solo record flopped, that reunion apparently started to look more appealing to him.I grant you that Axl seems to have a level of personal conviction that wouldn't cause him to whore himself out for the money, but I'm also not convinced that, if the stars aligned, he wouldn't ever consider playing with Slash again.

Axl said in 2001 he didn't go online anymore because the Internet was a garbage can and here he is, more than 10 years later, with a Twitter account and visiting forums, posting on them and having chats with the fans.

Never say never and never say always. I think no human can resist the time and the fact that we are continually evolving and changing no matter how stubborn we are. None of us ever imagined he would be in good terms with Duff and Izzy again. Never even dreamed of Duff playing with the NuGNR and that he would even learn and play songs off ChinDem. There are infinite demos of how old statements didn't resist the passage of time.

If he's not into a reunion for the money, as himself and other people claimed, I think March 7th is the perfect day to do it: a Slash show (not GNR), in a southamerican country, a small venue, most people don't have a clue about the rumour. It reunites all the elements for it to be cool yet not so massive and troublesome as it would be in the USA, with all kinds of hypes and bullshit around.

[smoking guns]

I was believing it until the Mitch Lafon tweets. That guy is a doucher.

[ManetsBR]

Axl addressed all those rumors noted above though...correct? He might just be less active on GNR forums and stuff now then he was then. I doubt he reads em anymore.

I don't understand how some people seriously think Axl and co. don't read the forums all the time. Admins here said many times he is often around and even said he posts sometimes under an alternative account.

[Matt13]

One way or the other, people's heads are gonna explode on 03/07/2015.

You mind locking this bullshit thread? It´s been confirmed false! If tomorrow Axl says otherwise on his twitter then we can start a new thread to discuss the one night stand Axl and Slash are going to have.

Who has it been 'confirmed' false by? A forum admin here? With all due respect... lol.

Unless AXL ROSE or GNR management (lol) come out publicly on Twitter or Facebook or wherever and say AXL WILL NOT BE UNITING WITH SLASH THIS WEEK, then anything's possible. I won't be surprised either way. What give this rumor some wings to me is, if this is just a PR stunt to get more folks out to see Slash's show... and if Axl hates Slash so much... why would he let the speculation benefit Slash? By not saying anything about it, denying it, it's only fueling the speculation. Axl certainly knows what's going on and the little frenzy surrounding this. He's probably reading this thread. So why not kill it if it weren't true?

That's perplexing, to say the least.

And, think about it, if Axl agreed to join Slash's band for a few songs... especially with Duff and Gilby on-stage, ala a little GNR reunion, and wanted to keep it low-key just to test the waters, they probably want it to stay under wraps. So even if the admin's here or anywhere else have some kind of connection with TB (lol), they're not going to confirm it's true.

If it's not happening, Axl should put an end to the speculation and post something on Twitter or Facebook. If he doesn't, it's only going to benefit the turnout for Slash's shows... and why would Axl want to do that if his disdain for Slash is so strong?

Thing is 99% of Axl's tweets would be about denying a reunion if he had to respond to every rumour about one.

That's not true. This is the first reunion 'rumor' that has ever gotten any sort of legs to it. There's so many little 'hints' being passed around that it wouldn't surprise me at all if it happened. I beg of you to show me another reunion thread that claims the Axl will be joining Slash. The fact is, Axl hardly tweets about ANYTHING. This rumor has gotten some serious legs to it now and he should address it if it were false.

It's not like him NOT to address something like this.

That's what makes it suspicious.

2012 HOF, Download 2006, just after ChiDem came out (rumours of joint Van Halen/GNR reunion)...

2012 HOF was indeed shot down by Axl. He came out and said he wasn't going to attend, and never had any intentions of doing so. Download 2006 was pure speculation because Axl and Slash were going to be playing the same event. TB shot that rumor down, too. Rumors of a joint Van Halen/GNR reunion is absurd. I've been around these forums since forums for GNR existed and never heard such a rumor. Internet searches pull up nothing and if it was mentioned, it was so ridiculous that nobody paid any attention to it.

Try again.

Are people unable to read the giant [FALSE] tag in the title of the thread or are they simply incapable of understanding what it means?

Are you really willing to believe some average Joe forum admin's "source"? Even if it were a legitimate source, why doesn't that source come out and confirm this to be false? Or do they want to keep it under wraps as much as possible and downplay this rumor? Unless it comes out of Axl's mouth, I wouldn't believe anything, buddy.

[Amir]

Couple of sources on the Van Halen/GNR tour, which I remember first from the forums back in '09:

http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/958191/axl-rose-slams-irving-azoff-in-5-million-countersuit

And what makes the reunion sources any more reliable?

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but I'm saying that either way I doubt Axl would ever comment on it. There's no talk of this outside the forums and Mitch Lafon's Twiiter feed. You do a Google News search and you get a bunch of articles with headlines like "Axl Rose would never reunite classic Guns N' Roses lineup for money" based on the recent Fortus interview.

it was some "Joe forum admin" that started the rumor so yeah, I'll go with the forum admin that is pointing out the obvious instead of the one that is trolling for laughs. And I'm not your buddy, pal.

You're assuming that he still have a plan ...

[RussTCB]

For the record, I'm not basing my opinion that this isn't happening on what Axl's said over the years. I'm mostly against it because I just couldn't see Axl doing something like this at a Slash solo show.

I just checked with someone very high up in the Slash circle who normally always replys.I asked him if he could deny or confirm it...he did neighter

Oh dear, it's bloody FAKE NEWS, a load of bollocks

[santiago-gnr]

There will be stream of the show, to confirm that Axl will not be there...

[axlslash]

There will be stream of the show, to confirm that Axl will not be there...

If I had to pick one song for them to play as a reunion, it would be Welcome To The Crazy. They've only ever done it once so far, and it was on a livestream. #ReunionStartsNow

Wow, "I'm not your buddy, pal." Thanks for clearing that up. I'd use another term if you'd like, sweetie, but the forum police would probably warn me or some crap.

Bottom line is, if this admin's "source" is so legit, presumably someone from TB, it would take less time for TB to go on Twitter and say something along the lines: "Axl Rose has no intention of joining Slash on his upcoming tour".

By not doing that, they're legitimizing rumors and signals that Axl may indeed be joining Slash. Signals like GNR's twitter referencing Argentina this past week. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that's some really odd timing, considering the rumored 'reunion' will happen in Argentina this week.

Why would the Guns camp seemingly promote and fuel this rumor?
