AFD5 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Surely somewhere down the line it's got to happen ? So far we've had a whirlwind 10 months with Slash letting it be known he & Axl were actually speaking. This sent the internet into overdrive as this was deemed impossible. When pushed if there'd be a reunion Slash answered the question but looking back now you can tell something's going on lol. Fast forward to the night of March 31st 2016 & there's a queue forming outside Tower records rumour has it that tickets are going on sale for a Guns show on April 1st (some kind of April Fools prank) But hang on they're putting up signs outside Tower records the official websites even showing the old pistols & roses logo wtf's going on it couldn't be could it ?. The morning of April 1st & there's a huge queue outside Tower records tickets go on sale there's a "secret gig" tonight at The Troubador shit just got real. Later that day the sign outside The Troubador reads Guns 'N'' Roses Not In This Lifetime a reference to a comment Axl made when asked if he & Slash would ever play together again. The anticipation was unbelievable I watched it all unfold live on the Internet here in the UK. As we now know it was Axl, Slash, Duff & others that took to the stage sneaky clips watched on youtube the following day watched by millions this really was/is a big deal. They announced a 21 date US stadium tour but there was still a slight disappointment no Izzy ? no Steven? But hey we have 3/5 of the AFD5, fast forward to Cincinatti & unbelievably Axl announces Steven Adler for 2 numbers Steven plays great he looks so happy & everyone agrees this is how Guns are supposed to sound. So with that we've now had 4/5 of the AFD5 I'm now hoping Steven's appearance can become a regular thing at the shows & hopefully one night we'll hear Axl announce "Mr Izzy Stradlin". I'm absolutely certain the stadium they're playing in would erupt & the internet would go into meltdown. It's what we all want to see the return of the AFD5 a few short months ago we could only imagine what it would be like to see Axl & Slash sharing a stage. In fact we were told "Not in this lifetime" now we've seen 4/5 of the AFD5 play together & the happiness this has brought to so many. It's my 57th birthday on August 19th Guns play their 2nd night at the Dodgers stadium what a present that would be to see the reunion of the AFD5 what do you think guys ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaka Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think it will happen. Maybe for just a show (presumably in LA) but I have a feeling it will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think some shows here and there during the AFD anniversary year. Or maybe just a few songs by the AFD5 at a few shows during the AFD anniversary year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh-Rok! Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Get it done before one of them dies. Well, that's my morbid way of looking at it anyway. In London as well please. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think we will see them all onstage at the same time but unfortunately Fortus, Dizzy and Melissa will all be up there with them.. It would be cool if at least Melissa and Fortus went back stage for a couple songs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I reckon in 2017 we will get the original 5 playing afd from start to finish for the 30th anniversary Well hope 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a big fan of the AFD line up like you and I really cried when I saw Steven playing with them again. So well I hope Izzy shows up and Steven plays more songs. But there are more chances of Steven playing the rest of the shows and Izzy just showing here and there or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StrangerInThisTown Posted July 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) It just saddens me that Axl just cannot let go of the hacks, he is too stubborn to realize no one gives a fuck about whether Fortus or Frank is there regardless of how long they have been in the band aslong as the original guys are there. Axl always justifies them with "Fortus has been 14 years in the band!". No one gives a fuck about Fortus Axl, aslong as the band is called Guns N Roses people want Izzy to have the spot. Doesnt matter if Fortus had the skills of Hendrix, it comes down to that Fortus isn't Izzy and Frank isnt Adler/Sorum. Aslong as Izzy/Adler/Sorum are alive there is no justification for anyone replacing them, unless they openly decide to decline the invitation. A tour of just the AFD5 is what I really want to happen. Those guys playing shows, and writing an album again, that's the dream. I would bet money that Izzy would be back in the band if it was just the 5 of them again.

AFD5 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 @Slash787 I see what you mean mate I guess we'll have a better idea after the next couple of shows to see if AFD5 is possible if Steven is allowed to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wp9215 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think 99% chance we're going to see it. It'll still be a huge surprise, but he's guested with nuGnR. I don't see how this won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kula2006 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Who would have thought one year ago that Izzy would be the missing link to get all 5 together... I will happen of course 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud10 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Have Adler and Izzy played together since the split? Every other member of the AFD 5 has played wth each other in some combination. Izzy played with VR and GNR, Adler played with Slash and Duff a couple years ago, etc. Either way I think it'll happen. Hopefully in NY (they should do a pre-MetLife Ritz gig lol) Edited July 9, 2016 by KiernanProud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I would say pretty good but the balls in izzys court. It's clear Adler will be involved for some time moving forward so.. I mean I highly doubt we ever get JUST the appetite 5 on stage but I could 8 of them on stage. The appetite 5, fortus, Reed and Reese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted July 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just one final nudge I feel - a Stradlin guest and a realisation (on Axl's part) that Adler sounds superior to Frank - and then we have it. Just one last hurdle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Axl may be trying to decide between CD 2 or nuGNR and a full reunion. He doesn't always seem certain what to do. But personal relationships and how it looks mean a lot. So putting the AFD line up back together might finally be the most creatively successful move for him. What Axl said about new material did seem very CD era. Like it won't happen until Izzy comes back and writes some tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm really positive about Izzy showing up, I think his curiosity will get the better of him. If he's wanted to play with fake gnr, velvet revolver and so on in the past, you have to think he wants to get on stage with the other four founding members. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
