I wouldn't be too keen on a Guns 'n' Roses reunion as Axl's voice is 1000 times more shot than, for example, Liam's and he's even fatter than Liam was last summer. I don't think Axl would have the energy to do one of these shows some of us loved him for more than 20 years ago so fuck that. I actually think Axl will surprise many. In his effort to effectively stay out of the media for the last 2 decades he has pretty much left a void filled with nothing but a montage of his worst performances, an array of questionable fashion choices and many a picture of him looking, err, ' slightly larger' than we can bother remembering. Oh, and that story of him being late for a concert because his road crew and band were scared to wake him up. Ha-ha. For those who have more closely followed Axl since his reawakening in 2000, will know that despite his inconsistencies he can still put in a mean performance. No one cares when Axl nails a song, but make a complete hash of it and it's all over every major music site the next day. Now, It's important to remember that Axl's not exactly a spring chicken at 53 and he's clearly not going to be sprinting around the stage like a mad man, snake dancing with his top off every gig and no doubt his vocals are going to reflect that, but I'll guarantee that he'll certainly sound better than many will expect. |

Did you see Eddie Van Halen before the reunion  ?? Trust me axle will look li,e it's 87 again. Drugs and unlimited money for trainers are a great thing. He won't look like that. But funny pic  |

Never really liked Guns N Roses, still listen to Velvet Revolver a little though. I don't think Slash needs this at all to be honest, he's in a band with Myles Kennedy, awesome singer and they make good tunes together, whereas Axl sounds like shit now and it'll probably just be a greatest hits set with a singer who can't sing the songs anymore

Yea. Does slash need the money ? No but what Kennedy can't deliver to slash. Or can bucket head to axle , Is a fucking GUNS AND ROSES REUNION in front of hundreds of thousands. Seperatly they can play the Garden or say about 20,000. But together. They will headline coachella Play to 70,000 mininum on there tour ...do it for three months and make millions ....... It's called good BUISNESS. Something Noel will learn in about 5 years. And just like today .nobody will care if Liam can sing. As long as he can stand next Noel. It's a hit ...... Rock and roll baby  |

If Izzy is missing the heart is missing. Never seen them cause I was too young but the bootlegs and live shots with Gilby Clatke and all that unnecessary extravaganza from 92 and 93.... No. Just compare it to the live at mtv 88 welcome to the jungle. This was the gnr best live perfomance period I think.

Most fans really don't care if Michael Anthony is not there as long as the frontmen are. That's sort of what ax and slash are doing. Let's face it They are guns and roses ..... Izzy stradlin is a good second guitarist. But honestly ? Look at the stones .... Nobody complained after Brian jones died and was replaced. Nobody cared when Mick Taylor left. ( except keef ) And nobody will care if Ron wood ever leaves. But no Keith or mick. ? No stones. Same with gnr |

Izzy was one of the main songwriter on appetite and lies and his songs and the songs that involved his contribution on use your illusion are awesome. Slash is more of an icon thats true but songwriting wise Axl and izzy are more like jagger and richards. But I get what you mean. Most people do not care about, who had written what and there is nothing wrong with it. But it somehow said enough for me that the gunners never put out something worth listening after stradlin left. |

If the rumors are true and there gonna do a 25 city North American tour. They like van halen will wrap it up at the Hollywood bowl If the past is really buried. Izzy should come out for that gig ......the place will fuckin go insane. ' and its full circle. Ending near the sunset strip a piss away from the whiskey |

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAJDN85TYNl Frank Ferrer and Chris Pitman have also posted similarly revealing messages. With Coachella confirmed it's all steam ahead it seems! Apparently Axl has pulled out of his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel though, but hopefully that won't be too big of a hiccup. |

No news on a full tour yet. I'd be surprised if it were just a one of appearance at Coachella.

Looks like the only original members are going to be Slash, Axl, and Duff. If that's true, they massively screwed this up.
They need Izzy and Steven (or Matt).

I'm very surprised to hear that from you. Steven and Matt was needed ? The Rolling Stones original lineup only has 3 mick keef and Charlie. Yet nobody is complaining No izzy. That sux but like no bill wyman. They Roll on |

Yes. They're needed. It isn't a reunion if it's just 3/5 of the original members when all five of them are surviving. Well, the Stones never had a "classic" lineup like the original GNR.
This isn't GNR. This is Page & Plant.

To be fair though, the star power is always gonna lie with Axl and Slash and to a lesser extent, Duff

A disappointingly deep dig to find a thread under this title. These guys seem pretty under-loved around these parts, whereas Oasis seem to fair surprisingly well on the opposite band's forum(s). For a lot of fans, Guns 'n' Roses doesn't mean shit after Slash and Duff left in 96/97 and view the current brand band as effectively taken hostage by Axl. I'm not one of those guys though - I like both! I have very mixed feelings towards the current line-up, but pre 2004 group and the original clan were amazing. So now I've found some context here's what I simply wanted to post: If I ever had to write on a piece of paper what I wanted from a song, from the composition, to the feel, down to more intricate entities, this song came closest. It's definitely not my favourite song of all time, It may not even be my favourite from the band, but if it came down to that piece of paper, this would be nearest thing to it I've heard. SLASH has opened the door a bit for a eventual reunion ...... he said the fans would love it , enough time has passed where the wounds arent so deep .......and HE WOULD NO LONGER SAY NEVER think this will happen talk about a money bonanza I WAS LAFFED AT , RIDUCULED. YET THERE HEADLINING COACHELLA 2016. Told ya so. Thanks |

YET THERE HEADLINING COACHELLA 2016. Told ya so. Thanks I don't recall anyone laughing or ridiculing you? Why would they, as (like I said before) a large percentage of the fanbase have been calling it ever since Slash left nearly 2 decades ago? Before your comment Slash had just come out saying “ I think it might be fun at some point to try and do that. […] Never say never.” and reunion calls were higher than ever they ever had been. |

This isn't GNR. This is Page & Plant. I can see your point, but Led Zeppelin only ever had 4 members and when Bonham passed away they called it quits. Not only is the 'classic' lineup of GN'R (Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Adler/Sorum) not the original lineup, it also wasn't the final lineup either (of the original period). When Izzy left in 1991 did people denounce the band then? The band have been very careful not to brand the event as a reunion and so far I haven't seen anything official claiming as such. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out if Izzy has some part in all of this anyway. He's known to dislike touring so may make an appearance here and there and possibly help out in the studio if he feels so inclined instead. He's on good terms with Axl, Slash and Duff so it's a real possibility. Personally I think people get too precious about band lineups. I'd be infinitely more excited to find out Buckethead had rejoined over making the perfect reunion anyway. |

That sux but like no bill wyman. They Roll on I don't know man. The Stones always had a consistent lineup. In 1968 they kicked Brian Jones out due to extreme drug use and he died a few months later. Mick Taylor took over from 1968 to 1974. Arguably their golden era of classic albums. When Mick quit, Ronnie Wood entered and has been with the band since. Bill Wyman quit in 1993, decades after their last relevant album. |
