axlfan88 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) There's no reason to doubt. Why would Slash say they're friends if it wasn't true ? Edited August 22, 2015 by axlfan88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It's no rumour anymore, Slash confirmed it right. So they are talking, doesn't mean they are friends again. But talking is good, best news in a long time! Hope they work it out and we will see GNR as they should again! Even for just a moment, it would make me very very happy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Blabbermouth has picked it up...It's a slow burn right now but this is gonna spread like wildfire at some point. Fun to watch it unfold like this. At least for now. Now watch, months of silence haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for just a moment, it would make me very very happy!Settling bad blood is great but it doesn't mean either of them want to revisit old gnr fully. A few collaborations might be more realistic. Unsure of how new music might fit in with rumours, maybe Slash will replace parts that BBF replaced from Bucket....the mind boggles really. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 i think everybody is still unsure even with Slash saying it lolit will eventually catch steam though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feconroses Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This is the most exciting news since 96! I'm speechless, these guys being in speaking terms, as a GNR fan, is even more important than a reunion. They are brothers in arms, they lived A LOT together, I'm really happy that each other now have one of their most important friends back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Pretty cool.Really doubt Slash would go out of his way and say that if there wasn't at least some form of communication between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Slash is NEVER going to be a guest collaborator in Axl's GnR. Like I said earlier if they reunite it will be GUNS N' ROSES not Axl's mish mash of musicians collaborating on his music. Slash won't do that. I think I full reunion with a new album would be way more likley than a Guns N Roses song or album "featuring" Slash as a guest collaborator.

Towelie Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 One of the comments on Blabbermouth:I would go to a reunion and I would buy a new record, as long as it was rock and not that weird crap on the last GnR record.LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Is there any way to confirm this interview wasn't edited and that Slash's words are not out of context here?This.We don´t actually see the interviewer ask his question about Axl to Slash. Slash might have been responding to an entirely different question.I think this is a fair point, it would have been better to see someone physically asking the question as even a slight edit could alter the context a little. Having said that clearly looking at the bigger picture painted recently tensions seem to have abated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I bet Jarmo is so pissed.Part of me believes I've hung around the GnR online world all these years just to see clowns like him do an about face. It's going to be so hilarious watching all these anti Slash and anti reunion people act like everything they believed and said in the past doesn't exist haha! If a reunion ever happens that will be one of the best things about it.Jarmo aside a lot of the anti reunion folks were kids who weren't around for the real deal. It was much easier for them to accept whatever Axl had going on as the "real GnR" because they didn't get to see what us older folks did. Reading magazine articles and watching YouTube videos isn't the same as being around for it. I agree that IF a reunion happens,the backpedaling alone from some of these kids will be hilarious. If only this friendship could've taken place before the RNRHOF but better late than never.Agreed. Those who are old enough to remember want Guns n' fucking Roses, not nugnr...

iceman51999 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) As a fan of AXL and SLASH for over 30 years I' m excited they are talking again - all GNR fans ever wanted= If they tour it will be insane - Sorry to all of the other bands touring but if SLASH-AXL-DUFF-IZZY STEVEN OR MATT OR BOTH tour again the rest of the music world are put on notice =The best rock n band in this generation will be the talk of the not only the music world but they are putting the whole world on notice- I would love see them again live -but just being friends again has made my day - Killer news !

GNRfanMILO Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I fucking cried. As someone said above, this is good news for everybody (if you are a GNR fan). I agree its even more important than a reunion, but being 16 years old, i would sell a leg to see them share a stage together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogy Malone Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This is great news! When I saw the title thread with "rumour they were friends again" I thought it would be the same old shit! I didn't expect slash to confirm they were friends again!!!! This of course does not mean a reunion is imminent but it is definitely now a possibility. Hopefully Slash can put in a good word for Marc Canter and they can all be good friends again. Slash does mention about touring his new album next year in Sweden and Axl is apparently looking to put out the CD left overs so a reunion could be a long way off (if it ever happens), but the signs are good.

That could be just sayinI think we could make the title more accurate. I'm not going to alter another mods work without checking in with them first though.It doesn't hinder anyone from actually discussing, I think this might run for a while so no rush. Most of us are busy on a Sat aft - I only saw this about half hour ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I full reunion with a new album would be way more likley than a Guns N Roses song or album "featuring" Slash as a guest collaborator. I dunno about that. I don't think any of them particularly want to deal with Steven and they probably don't trust Izzy will commit.It wouldn't be a case of Slash joining Axl's GNR, seeing as there's not much of a band to speak of anymore. I could see Slash agreeing to it so long as Duff is on board. Something like:AxlSlashDuffFortusDizzyChrisFrankThe general public wouldn't care less about Izzy or Steven/Matt not being onboard. I feel bad saying that about Izzy, but it's true. Edited August 22, 2015 by Towelie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) - Duff rejoins Axl, somebody who had certifiably been in the 'Slash camp' prior.- Axl goes into hibernation, the future of the new band into a state of limbo and confusion.- Two guitarists leave, one controversially, one surprisingly so.- Del wishes Slash a Happy Birthday- Now this.Does lead me to believe that there something going on behind the scenes. Who knows?PSAlso, wasn't Eddie Trunk throwing some reunion speculation out there awhile ago? Edited August 22, 2015 by DieselDaisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
