todreamofwolves Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) LOL Duff Is that anyone else's immediate thought after reading 95% of the interviews that he gives these days. "Here's what I've learned and why my opinion is more important than others." "Have I told you guys about how my pancreas burst and I almost died." "Axl is prolific!"

Nothing really that new for us forum hardcore GNR people but its always cool just hearing Duff shoot the shit in these more long form interviews Edited May 14, 2019 by WhazUp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I think the most disturbing thing about Its So Easy is that Duff was going around lighting fires and not having the decency to wait around for the fire brigade to put it out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted him to do it, they offered him a fee, he didn't like the fee so he didn't do it. I don't know how true it is that he at that stage said I don't want to do a long tour... Considering that they have all said that they had commitments up to Coachella and they weren't sure where it would go after that. I doubt Izzy would have wanted to stay on the road for 2 years though. Edited May 15, 2019 by Tom2112 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"*Tell story about how I knew and grew up with musicians that made up the grunge scene." Well, i kinda get what you are meaning with all of this, but... - i dont´t get that impression at all. Duff is not that kinda person (imo). He has opinions about things but so do you and so do i. - We (hardcore GNR-fans) have heard this xxxx-times, others may not. It was very important issue to him because he changed his life completely after that soooo i kinda get this too. - Well, i don`t know what prolific! means, but Axl is kinda special so he might be just that - Duff kinda did just that. He was part of that scene that later came "grunge". He is not bullshitting anyone with that. Don´t get me wrong, i know what you meant...there are some issues that we get to hear and/or read over and over again. I gets bit boring to us, but it´s his life. I tell same stories over and over too 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Izzy would have wanted to stay on the road for 2 years though. Wasn't the original plan just for Coachella, and then the Vegas dates were added, and then the stadium tour? I'm not sure Axl & Slash even knew whether or not they could do a full tour together when it was still in the rehearsal stage. However, I do agree that they probably lowballed him rather than bringing him back into the band as a full time member. Why? Well, we can all speculate that it was because of the money, but maybe his heart wasn't really into it without Steven there too. Whatever the truth is, it just sucks that we haven't seen the AFD5 reunite. Life's too short, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotsfired cro Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I still can't believe we are talking why Izzy wasn't involved!? Is there anyone who didn't hear by now 'they didn't want to split the loot equally'? ...or who doubts that? If you like this line up - go see the endless tour, if you are a hard core fan and wait for Matt, Iz, Gilby - don't go to the shows and stay true to yourself. I didn't give a fuck about this half assed reunion and didn't regret that a second. I will never buy a fucking ticket as long as they have Frank/Fartus/Mel with Iz/Gilb/Matt still alive. Period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if he really wanted to be a part of the shows then he would've come to a few rehearsals right? He didn't come at all so they probably saw no need to try to meet his monetary requirements and include him. Just my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotsfired cro Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 anyone who thinks they hadn't begun with money talks first, rehersals second is really, really naive. you can bet every single dime you have they agreed on every single dime before anyone set a foot into rehersal space. now if you cowrote Pretty tied up, Double talkin jive, Paradise city and about 50% of the catalogue but get less than the rest, sure as hell you might as well say 'screw you'. With Kimmel show being canceled last minute, Fartus being called back last minute it is obvious that full reunion was worked on, but fell through. We didn't need Duff to tell us that 2019 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I get why Izzy ended not being part of it and his "reasons" but he should have tried to stick around at least to see what would happen and do the Coachella thing. It was the first step to what could happen in the future but it seems he didnt mind at all to even try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
