Forsaken Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 BIG NEWS!!!Rumors from L.A. underground say SLASH is heading back to GUNS N’ ROSES!!!!!!!!!!!Looks like Dave Navarro (Lead guitar in Camp Freddy with Matt and Scott and in “Oh my God” of GnR) was already asked to join Velvet Revolver.If this news was confirmed that would explain why SLASH was the one and only talking about Chinese Democracy release and why we are going to see GnR in Milan on June 4th!!!Maybe this is the reason why it seams SLASH is not working on VR new albumSource: http://www.webalice.it/foreveruntil/news.htmDoubt it is true.

benchiefjr Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I think this is a REAAAAAL long-shot, but these damn rumors just don't seem to go away.... something crazy to think about, but wasn't it reported in that SPIN article about Axl in '99 that Matt Sorum introduced Axl to Robin Finck to "play lead guitar along side Slash"? If that arrangement had worked... this is the line-up we would have been looking at then (say 96-97):Axl Rose (vocals, piano)Slash (lead guitar #1)Robin Finck (lead guitar #2)Paul Huge (rhythm guitar)Duff McKagan (bass guitar)Matt Sorum (drums)Dizzy Reed (keyboards, piano)A possible line-up today could look like:Axl Rose (vocals, piano)Slash (lead guitar #1)Robin Finck (lead guitar #2)Richard Fortus (rhythm guitar)Duff McKagan (bass guitar)Matt Sorum (drums)Dizzy Reed (keyboards, piano)Not that far off from what Matt and Axl were at least discussing 10 years ago (just sub Fortus in for Huge- which makes sense considering Fortus is a far superior player to Huge and assumedly Slash, Duff and Matt don't hate Fortus like they hated Huge)... of course, Sorum is a chronic self-promoter and there's no way to verify (that I am aware of) that he actually thought of Robin Finck as a good fit for GN'R... I do remember Duff saying Robin Finck was a "good player and a good guy"- but that he couldn't possibly stomach continuing on as GN'R w/o Slash... the outstanding issue would be what level of "loyalty" would Finck and Fortus feel to guys like Stinson, Brain, Pitman, etc... it would have to be pretty damn strong to pass up an opportunity to play Chinese Democracy in a re-configuration of the "original" Guns N' Roses though... damn strong.Honestly I think it should be switched, Fortus never gets any respect...BTW, i'm pretty sure this is not gonna happen. :xmasschef2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiDem Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) He hasn\'t talked to Slash in 10 years and then just invites him back? Ok Edited February 27, 2006 by ChiDem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Stinson has been in the band since 1998!! He's not going anywhere.HAHAH Axl has loyalty? His loyalty stops at the name. Members, Crews, anyone else doesnt matter. All that does is the band Guns N' Roses is continued. If you can even call it that these days.. Usually an album is needed.. But then again its Axl Rose.

Tommy Stinson has been in the band since 1998!! He's not going anywhere.Agreed.Think about it. Just as Slash won't leave Duff,Axl is not going to tell Stinson to pack his shit up and leave.
