The "Axl/Slash/Duff + 2 Mystery Players Re-banded But Not A Reunion Tour" Thread - Announcement Imminent!


Recommended Posts

Even Rolling Stone is cautiously getting in on it, noting mostly the lack of response to the report or any correction by dish nation.

All I can think is that the reunion is on but they're trying to be respectful of Slash's current group and not take away from what they have going on right now considering Slash made a commitment to his current band mates and crew.

I haven't posted anything since all this reunion talk got seemingly serious because the whole thing makes me feel sick. Having supported the absolute fuck out of Axl and the core band that wrote Chinese and after years hoping Axl would come good on his promises to put out multiple records and phase the tired old shit out of the shows, the idea of him going out and playing EVEN MORE fucking shows promoting Appetite and Illusions is the most depressing fucking retarded bullshit I could imagine. As if enough causal fans haven't had the chance to hear all the fucking hits played in the same order hundreds of times in the last 14 years.

And fuck all the people who haven't been to a Guns or Slash show in the past 14 years who will suddenly want to go and see them at Wembley Stadium to sing-a-long to Sweet Child and November Rain. I go for a fucking PISS during Sweet fucking Child i'm so sick of it. Then they might just pull out Better and 89,000 hipster tossers will check their Facebooks.

Moreover, Axl has sworn time and again that he would never work with Slash. So if there ever is an announcement of Guns shows with Slash then there'd better be a bit in bold right at the top with Axl explaining just how he was so stubbornly myopically wrong about Slash being an evil, compulsive-lying cancer and also an explanation from Slash about why he's now willing to be an employee in Axl's touring jukebox.

Personally, as much as it'd be great for Axl's mental health for him to make peace and get the Slash monkey off his back, all I want from him as an artist is to put the rest of his material out and tour it with the musicians who wrote and recorded it. But assuming he does put any of that music out we can be sure it wont include any of the songs that are about his contempt for Slash or his legal battles with Slash and Duff over the past 15 years. Which would be an enormous shame because that is some of the best shit.

I bought Illusions they day they came out, I saw Guns in 1993 and I couldn't give a flying fuck about seeing Axl and Slash play a jukebox tour in 2016. I want Axl to be a fucking artist, just like he always wanted.

Damn, this is an incredible post.

Nikki Sixx confirmed the reunion and Melodic Rock says the lineup is Axl,Slash,Duff,Dizzy,Fortus and Ferrer.

Uggh. What a disappointment.

I agree though if it happens,I'll be there. It makes sense since even in recent interviews,Frank keeps saying we'll get GN'R news. Fortus probably says that as well.

Why? Why not just make the whole thing a genuine reunion rather than a half-way-house quasi reunion with nugnr dick snivelers still hanging about the palace? It is not even a reunion of anything as such. It is a Frankenstein creation.

Maybe Izzy doesn't want to tour and Axl has beef with Adler/Sorum? I still think Axl/Slash/Duff are enough of a draw to bring back the casual fans who only see GN'R as Axl and Slash. Then again the source is "melodicrock.com" which is probably more reliable than Dishwalla Nation so who knows what's happening?

I get Fortus if Izzy isn't interested... but not Frank. From Axl's perspective I understand it, though.

I don't think the vibe will be right without Matt or Steven.

If there is a reunion and that's a huge if, I don't see any official announcement happening until Slash's divorce is finalized. He will not want his estranged wife to try to claim a piece of that reunion money.
