luvaxl4ever Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm actually starting to believe that slash is hankering for a return to GNR.Me too ! rock1 If Slash left VR, I really hope he will make his way towards GNR. He can play the new songs fine. Very true. He'd probably add a little more soul to the solos as well. OMG do we agree on something??!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madison Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I've moved this topic to the main GNR section instead of the VR section for several reasons - the main one being that everybody keeps reposting it over and over again even though it's been posted in the VR section!!! Please keep the discussion in one thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think the current solos coming from Slash's guitar would sound a little different and probably add even more depth. Maybe it's just my nostalgia kicking in at the thought of Axl & Slash playing together again?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prucc Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I can see Slash quitting in general. They are going to make a CD more dancable. Slash does not seem the type to make music more DANCABLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love&hates Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 So they think that Slash left VR? Interesting. But tell me one thing.... HOW IN THE FUCK IS THIS AT ALL RELATED TO GNR NEWS AND DISCUSSION?Do you really need to ask ?Since Axl said him and Slash talked in his house , everybody is hoping him to come runing to GNR . This is only puting their hopes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnan Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 goddamn GNR fans and VR fans...moths to the flame....I still can't believe that people actually think there will be a reunion....that is a little bit off topic but blargI consider a reunion to be nothing without both Stevie or Matt AND IZZY STRADLIN.I don't want a reunion, I want Slash to come to GN'R as a 3rd guitarist/shared lead or even to replace Finck. If Tommy is really back in the Replacements, which I consider bad news, then Duff is okay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Paul Slinger Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hopefully it is true.... I mean I love VR...BUT I'm true to Guns. Maybe the reports are true both of that he visited Axl back in Oct saying he wants in and now that the rumors are flying that he quit VR. Maybe we'll hear tomorrow he is back in Guns.

moreblack Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 heh, come to think of it, even IF Slash were to rejoin G&R...this thing would go down in flames worse than when David Lee Roth rejoined Van Halen back in the mid 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjc1706 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 how about the april fools on the 27th of march, still so weak ? and that was proved to be an april fools. April fools doesnt just stick to one day! Remember this ?Guns N' RosesChinese Democracy(Interscope)By: Chuck Klosterman @ www.spin.com March 27, 2006 / The endless wait is over.It’s been a long time since Guns N’ Roses have released an album of new material. Everybody knows this, but it’s a fact that bears repeating. If you purchased a kitten on the day that Use Your Illusion I & II arrived in stores, it’s probably dead by now. As a consequence, there has been a great deal of pressure on Axl Rose to deliver a record that would validate a 15-year, $13 million wait. There is really only one way for Chinese Democracy to avoid utter and absolute failure: It needs to be the greatest rock album ever made.Chinese Democracy is not the greatest rock album ever made.Oh, it’s certainly awesome, but I don’t think it’s "15 years awesome." Had Axl released his album after a silence of, say, 11 years and two months (at a cost of, say, $11.5 million), Chinese Democracy would be an undeniable masterpiece, but considering the circumstances, some of this work seems shoddy. I get the impression most of the 13 songs were written between 1993 and 1999, and Rose merely spent six or seven years touching them up in the studio. One is forced to wonder if a track like "Madagascar" was only recorded 75 or 80 times, which calls Axl’s alleged "maniacal perfectionism" directly into question.Does Chinese Democracy offer glimpses of the paranoid, misogynistic genius we once heard on the soundtrack of Interview With the Vampire? Absotively. "The Blues" might be Rose’s crowning career achievement: It’s an epic combination of mid-period Stevie Wonder, early Elton John, and side two of In Through the Out Door. This is the kind of gutter-glam boogie ballad that makes "November Rain" seem like a bucket of burro vomit warming in the afternoon sun. Chinese Democracy is simultaneously propulsive and ponderous, and there are some electrifying guitar arpeggios on both "Silk Worm" and "Thursday Morning Strip Club" (performed, I assume, by either Buckethead, Robin Finck, Zakk Wylde, Johnny Marr, or Brian May -- all five are listed in the liner notes). But this transcendence is sporadic at best: All too often, Rose’s sonic neurosis plunges into self-reflexive self-indulgence, most notably on the outdated 14-minute rap-rock anthem "Pound You (Good)" and an embarrassing "roots rock" duet with new buddy Dave Pirner titled "You’re Still Too Sweet Not to Be My Baby Anymore." Several songs make thinly veiled references to the architect who designed Rose’s backyard topiary garden, a move that may confuse casual listeners.Obviously, the sexy albatross hanging around Rose’s wiry jugular is simple modernity: Could he create an album that would sound contemporary -- and competitive -- in today’s ever-evolving marketplace? As such, it is hard to understand why he elected to have Chinese Democracy coproduced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Kiss) and Phil Ramone (Billy Joel, Barbra Streisand). Songs like "Catcher in the Rye" exhibit the sculpted sheen of Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, and the LP includes several tracks on which GNR bassist Tommy Stinson appears to be playing a note-for-note replication of the bass line from "Another Brick in the Wall." Skeptics might also bristle at the anger that still resides in Axl’s heart; his hairstyle and facial features have changed, but his inner intensity remains grizzly-esque. On the caustic rocker "Slash and Burned," Rose lashes out at his former bandmates now in Velvet Revolver with staggering specificity: "Your singer has cocaine eyes and a skeletonized trance / We’ll see if RCA recoups their advance." Rose has also retained his pathological distaste for the media, lyrically attacking the editors of Vanity Fair, MTV personality Sway, numerous teenage bloggers, and the city hall reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer (who, curiously, has never written about pop music).Still, Rose always possesses the potential to surprise us, as he does on a slightly reggaetón cover of Thin Lizzy’s "Cowboy Song" and a faithful (albeit befuddling) version of "Think About You," a tune actually written and recorded by Guns N’ Roses in 1987. But a deeper quandary remains: Does Chinese Democracy accomplish its goal? After all this time and all that money, will this album truly bring democracy to China?I don’t know. I just don’t know.

padje Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Appart from all the rumour's and speculation, I think its nice that GN'R,a nd especially GN'R reuniting can still stirr up some serious attention. I've got tickets to see both the rock-am-ring show and the dutch show, so I will just sit back and wait for what might happen this summer...Btw, anyone know's whats going on with HTGTH?
