Słash Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 It would be cool to see more music from both of them and it would be great if they tour"I had a really good time just creating… I've played on a bunch of Izzy records over the last fifteen years, and it was just really nice to be in the studio with him for a couple of days. I really trust whatever he does. If he says, 'I've got a bridge. I've got a part,' I know he's got a part. It's not, like, 'Oh, let me hear it.' It's, like, 'Okay, he's got the part. Good. That's taken care of.' And, yeah, I'd like to do more music with him — always; for the rest of my life."http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/duff-mckagan-would-like-to-keep-making-music-with-izzy-stradlin-for-rest-of-his-life/ 1

I don't see why Axl wouldn't be open to singing on a track or two considering the only former gnr member he seems to have an issue with is Slash.

dalsh327 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Someone should be asking Duff if Izzy's going to do some Kings of Chaos shows instead of Axl questions. 1
dando Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Essentially a reunion.A reunion without the GNR name or slash

And that is one of the key ingredients that made GNR teh best band ever. Every song is so well rounded, the parts are really well structured and it all flows so good...I have listened and read countless interviews from these guys about how their songs were put together, and I have listened to all GNR albums, and also I have listened to all solo albums by Duff, Slash, Axl (CD) Izzy. And it is not hard to notice that Izzy really excels -- he is so fucking good -- when it comes to put a song together 1
wasted Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I think if they could get together with Slash n Steven and start writing AFD 2 that could lure Axl back. Really show what they can do.
Estranged Reality Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 i've said it before, i'm about to say it again: duff was one of the least interesting members of the band back in the day when he was sick, bloated, and loaded on drugs and booze; today, he's probably the most respectable, well-spoken, honest, likable dude around. i love the guy and everything his story represents. good on him.
wasted Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I felt he was always pretty decent guy. All of them seemed like good guys. Nobody was real going Kung fu crazy like Megadave.

He's easily the most down to earth person associated with GN'R ever

Axl wasn't beating the fuck out of Slash. There is a few choice incidents though. But rest of them although they had some problems they were nice enough.

Publicly berating your bandmates for drug abuse on stage and engineering a legal takeover of the band name, are all quite antagonistic agenda. Also, Axl and Steven had physical confrontations in the early days. The drummer ended up sacked for drugs, from a band featuring three other substance abusers (work that one out?) and then there was the coda (alleged) involving that same drummer shooting up the lead singer's girlfriend!Sacking members and replacing them with boyhood chums is also, fairly nasty dictatorial stuff.I cannot think of too many bands who have had more acrimonious relations as GN'R : Floyd maybe and yes, Megadeth; maybe Fleetward Mac because they were all shagging each other.

wasted Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) I think a lot of what you said is debateable. There was a definite falling out with Slash. I think maybe Dave was just more up front about being a bastard. Axl is always trying to do the right thing but getting misunderstood. I reckon the success of Nov Rain and Estranged kind of changed the band dynamic. To me they all quit because they couldn't deal with Axl off drugs. They had to save themselves. It's understandable. The tours were a nightmare for them and Axl wanted to do stuff they didn't. I think their problems ccontributed to signing the name over and throwing in the towel. Like right now they could probably deal with whole situation better. As annoying as being late is, it's not really being a bastard. Supposedly Axl had stage fright. It seems to be a problem for performers. Axl's ambitions or dreams where never malicious or meant to force others out. Having a temper too doesn't make you a bad person. Of course if you feel a person has done something wrong you focus on the negatives to prove a point. I find it hard to prove Axl stole the band from them and forced them out. Is it that or Axls insecurities and paranoia making him do these things. Dave generally just says it was my band I had to make a decision that was my decision. Axl doesn't say that but maybe that was the case in the end? He says he never wanted them to leave at all. Those Jazz guys in Megadeth seem like the shit but nobody seemed to care that much, themselves included. I guess the cartoony image of GNR really gave Slash a high profile. A lot of star power in the band. Izzy had a massive role and he was gone. I feel like if Izzy wanted to come back there could be a reunion. Edited June 12, 2015 by wasted

DieselDaisy Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I reckon the success of Nov Rain and Estranged kind of changed the band dynamic.Sweet Child O' Mine was more successful than November Rain and Estranged was never that successful outside aficionados of the band.To me they all quit because they couldn't deal with Axl off drugs. They had to save themselves. It's understandable. The tours were a nightmare for them You seem to be amalgamating various members into one. Firstly, when Duff McKagan quit GN'R he had been, for over three years, sober. Secondly, both Slash and Duff played live (Snakepit and Neurotic Outsiders) during a period in which Axl did not play one single show (1994-99). Slash's whole thing was that he was desperate to tour. Even Izzy, who did possess reservations about the big stadium shows, toured after he quit in 1991, with the Ju Ju Hounds! The only one who didn't play live was Axl.
DieselDaisy Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 It certainly was a video but was only released in select territories as a single and this was when the whole Illusion thing was dying down. I don't think the video went down as well as November Rain because by then grunge was massive and nobody wants to watch a millionaire arsing around with dolphins when Nirvana is around.
magisme Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 The video was laughed at, even while Guns was still huge. November Rain was a mega-success. Estranged probably is barely more recognizable to your average fan than a CD song. The revisionist history gets absurd.
