AFJF Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Lots of rumors floating around ever since Slash said he and Axl are on speaking terms again....that alone is something I thought I'd never see. If this happens...I'm there...as much as I hate what Axl allowed to happen to them over the years. Haven't seen Axl and Slash on stage together since the GNR/Metallica tour at the Meadowlands many years ago. Rumors about them playing Reading or Chochella. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n-roses-reading-festival/ The latest in the recent round of Guns N’ Roses classic lineup reunion rumors suggests the band will be on hand as headliners at next year’s Reading Festival. Even though the report is unconfirmed, cites no sources and should be taken with a heavy grain of salt, the Bristol Post says GNR are “expected to be on the bill” when Reading announces its 2016 lineup on Dec. 4. The paper’s entertainment columnist, Craig Jones, notes that bookies have tabbed the band as heavy favorites for next year’s festival. Again, it’s worth noting that this is all unsubstantiated at present, and Vegas odds don’t mean much where Axl Rose is concerned. But if you’re the type of person who subscribes to the “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” school of thought regarding celebrity rumors, then it’s hard not to wonder about the recent flurry of reports insisting there’s a reunion on the horizon. Long-suffering GNR fans will get their answer to the Reading rumor, one way or another, when the festival lineup is made public in a couple days — but even if Guns N’ Roses aren’t on the bill, we can almost certainly expect word of a reunion from yet another anonymous source at some point in the not-too-distant future. At some point, maybe one of them will even turn out to be true — after all, according to Nikki Sixx, “everyone knows” plans are in the works for the band to get back together.

Snell41 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Money talks eventually. As long as the reunion doesn't consist of 3 guitarists all jizzing on each other with noodly leads then it'd be cool. Go back to the dirty, less overproduced stage of the old pre UYL days.

I know DJ Ashba stepped down recently and one of the other 18 or so guitarists they use has one foot out the door. Axl/Slash/Duff as the core and I'm happy with 1 or 2 other guys who come along. No need for a million guys up on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I pray this never happens. They will look like all the other reunited bands doing their covers and sounding like a Vegas act. Plus, Axl is a tool and done vocally. Slash can still shred, but does not need Axl's inevitable meltdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 God, yes. Need Izzy or it's not worth doing. Izzy has played a gig here and there with Axl, but I don't think he'd have any interest in the big touring scene...that's why he gave it up before the Use Your Illusion tours.

T0mShane Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I love the Paris concert film where Slash bring out Lenny Kravitz for a song and it's clear that Axl is super ******* pissed off. Lenny Kravitz is such a fey douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm not sure how I feel about this. I love G n' R but the last time I saw Axl sing he was huffing and puffing through half the set. It might be better leaving it in the past. A true reunion would have to be Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven Adler, but I don't know if Adler is sober these days. I would assume Matt Sorum would be the drummer for any type of show/tour. Damn, they were a kick ass band, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 axl ruined what should have been my generations rolling stones **** him Pretty reasonable statement. I still remember exactly what I was doing first time I heard them. Was working for a paving company the summer before starting undergrad. I was burning asphalt off a couple kerosene soaked shovels and someone turned it one of the truck radios. Loved the sound and loved the shredding. One of my top five favorite of the 80's.

The must of played in NJ somewhere They stunk because they played sh*tface balls drunk. Nothing good can come of that, ever. Not only does the music suck, but the unpredictability and attitudes that come along with the beer muscles too, hence Axl's temper tantrums. I've played with all types. The stoners I don't mind, frankly on any drug. Played with guys on acid, heroin, weed, coke, you name it. All of them could play. In fact sometimes they'd come up with some really cool stuff. Cokeheads sucked because everything got sped up, but they could still play. But man alcohol.... I have rarely encountered someone who could play sh*tface drunk. It is always noticeable. I once joined a band where everyone seemed to be pretty straight. My first gig with them the other original guitarist was bombed. We started into the first song and he turned to me and asked what the chords were. He wrote the friggin song! He couldn't remember chords, notes, you name it. It's one thing to have a beer or 2 to take an edge off, but 4 pint glasses of vodka tonics is just not going to work out. I quit that band the next day.
