karamba Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) A representative for GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose has shot down persistent rumors that former GNR members Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan are in talks with Rose about taking part in a "reunion" tour this summer. The rumors gained strength a couple of days ago when unconfirmed reports surfaced that Slash had picked up his gear from VELVET REVOLVER's rehearsal studios after allegedly announcing that he was leaving the band.Rumors of trouble in the VELVET REVOLVER camp have been swirling around the group for the past few months, with several reports suggesting that much of the strife between Slash and the rest of the camp stems from Slash's wife Perla's alleged involvement in the band's business affairs. The situation allegedly came to a head last week after an attempt was made by attorneys to mediate in matters related to the lawsuits filed by Slash, Duff and Axl over the the rights to the old GNR songs.Slash and Duff, who left GNR in the 1990s and are joined in VELVET REVOLVER by ex-GNR drummer Matt Sorum and former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland, had filed suits in 2004 and 2005 seeking the rights to the early GNR material, accusing Rose of killing deals that would have put their songs in a half-dozen movies, including "Old School" and "Black Hawk Down". Rose filed a counterclaim last month asking a Federal Court to confirm his ownership of his "creative works" and defending his decision to choose when to license the music and to whom.At press time, there has been no official comment from the VELVET REVOLVER camp regarding any of the rumors currently making the rounds. It is also not presently clear if VELVET REVOLVER will go ahead with their previously announced plans to enter the studio on April 10 to begin recording the follow-up to their double-platinum 2004 debut, "Contraband".http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...ewsitemID=50465This had to come on the first of april..

Stranger Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) Hopefully, this is true.There's no need for a reunion. Edited April 1, 2006 by Stranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKinNYC Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Yeah, that's true. No need for a reunion of the greatest band of all time.Instead, I love this new "band," - you know, where no one besides Axl knows what's going on. They seem really tight.

Axls_Disillusion Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 A reunion would blow! Chinese Democracy has been in the making for far too long to just throw all that away and reunite the old guys to do a tour playing GNR's greatest hits by a bunch of guys who don't like each other and don't want to work together, and are just collecting their paycheck. Axl doesn't want to work with Slash or Matt, and swore he never would again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleHaze Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The shooting down of the reunion rumours doesn't bother me, they were extremely unlikely anyway. What does bother me, is the possibility of rifts in the VR camp. If that's true, whether you want Slash back in GnR or not is irrelevant because Slash wont be in any band at all... then everybody loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Slash doesn't come back to GNR and VR breaks up, I wont be losing any sleep over it. He left 10 fucking years ago. who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
