It was the first step to what could happen in the future but it seems he didnt mind at all to even try it. Yeah, but that is what happens when you help build up a bend and then 3 guys give you like 25% of their share. If you were Iz, would you go play for Fartus paycheck? I fully agree with Iz. 1 Quote

It was an opportunity to get back on the fold if he committed and showed interest, which he didn't, so theres no way to actually know what to expect. 1 Quote

I said it couple of days ago and I'll repeat it again...Iz said 'they didn't want to split the loot equally'. Does that say he did want to get back to the fold or not? Quote
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I've come to learn that Izzy has probably never handled anything in his life poorly and is the biggest reason GN'R was a success in the AFD/early UYI days 1 Quote

Izzy isn't there according to some of you solely because he didn't get an equal share. What's the difference? Such hypocrites. Read my post again instead of twisting it smart guy They are both about money only Duff is trying to allude that Izzy is a flake and makes no mention of the $ being a factor. That is a low level shot to make it look like he was responsible for letting down the fans when in fact he does not mention that they were not able to reach an agreement because of the low ball tactics Edited May 17, 2019 by double talkin jive mfkr 1 Quote

As for Dust N Bones.... that one would be cool. Duff used to play it with Loaded, I honestly wouldn't be bothered if they brought that back to the set and let Duff sing lead on it. 3 Quote

No Fortus would stay in the band, they would go back to three guitar players, and if Izzy left he would already be there to replace him. Quote

With three guitar is possible. We just can guess what happened. Izzy don't like scandals, is hard he says something else. Quote

Of course he said hed only be back in GNR with the AFD5, but I think he saw all this as a window for that. 17 hours ago, Silverburst80 said: I believe Slash is the most money driven....every note he plays is like his child support depends on it. Well it is rumored that he wanted a bigger cut at the last minute before the tour started, so... And yeah, now with his divorce and all he needs every dollar he can get his hands on. But I do think that if money had been the main motivating factor then the reunion would've happened a lot sooner. 1 Quote

DieselDaisy Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 I used to see Duff (and Izzy also) as the slightly more sensible one as juxtaposed with the two squabbling children (Rose and Slash), but he is fairly mercenary and corporate really. I have a feeling he'd sell his own grandma for a fiver. Quote

Looking at it from Duffs point of view though, he's probably thinking 'I've been put through the ringer over this ginger bellend for decades, this is my chance to make a few quid out of it and pad out the ol' retirement fund'. 1 Quote

He is charging over £50 for his solo tour!! Duff should be barely much beyond Gilby/Hookers and Blow style pricing, a tenner at the door. 1 Quote

Don't really remember what it was like so it can't've made much of an impression. Quote

EvanG Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I like Believe In Me, even with the awful vocals. 10 Years, Man In The Meadow, The Majority, Just Not There... Slash, Jeff Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Gilby... nothing wrong with. edit, and even if I didn't like it, I wouldn't feel the need to repeat myself like a broken record. Edited May 18, 2019 by EvanG 1 Quote
