Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Am I the only one that doesnt ever want an original GNR reunion?

I hate when bands reunite for the money, look at Motley Crue, tommy lee hates vince neil and vice versa but they are gonna have a tour for the money. I dont like that.

I respect the old band for not ever getting back together because the band ran its course, they released great music and now it is over.


I love Velvet Revolver and im very interested in what they are gonna accomplish when it is all said and done.

To be honest I am so excited about what Axl has cooking. I think Axl is gonna give us something that wouldnt have been possible if the old members hadnt left. I think its gonna be the greatest,deepest,most emotional,amazing music that we have ever heard.? I think Axl's ability and talents will really shine through and he will make the record that the old band held him back from making.

I made a post on here about diversity and i believe Axl's diversity outgrew the old bands willingness to evolve.? So i am very happy the old band is broke up and i for one never want to see a reunion.

Am I the Only One?

   No D, you're not the only one.  I want to be on record as saying exactly that...and of course there's no way in hell these guys are reuniting anyway. :)

  I too am totally psyched for Axl's next phase.  Nice post D.

Nope I don't want the old band to do a reunion. I want the new band, and the guys in vr can go fu*k themselves : ok:

I would only want to see a reunion if it was for the music and the fact that they had all solved their differences and agreed to put it all behind them. If it was for the money, it just wouldn't be right.

I dont care I want to see the original line up once in my life and if it takes them to do it for the money then so be it... I dont sweat the little things!

I agree completely

I'd love to see the original band do at least one last tour together.

You're not the only one...

For one or two shows, sure why not. It would be great to watch. An actual reunion would be interesting if they made some songs.

Bring Buckethead back, release the album, and take the act on the road would be THE PERFECT GN'R.

I want that reunion. As soon as possible. I'll be happier if they sort out the differences and make albums together, but if they reunite only for one album and a tour, even if money is the key factor, I rather want this than Axl's Nu-GN'R or VR. But there will be no reunion, only if Axl undergoes some serious psychological thearapies.

I think the fact that Axl has not come out with CD says a lot. I don't think he is happy with the product.

I loved the new band, but they seem old and gone now. It's been a while...not even a murmor.

With that I'd love to see the old band together. If it was for the money....I'd still go seem 'em.

Seeing VR reminds me of why I loved GnR in the first place: THE ENTIRE BAND AS A WHOLE.

I like VR a lot, and the new GnR. I like them all. But I think, at this time I prefer the old band and wished they had worked it out instead of breaking up.

no reunion thanx :no:

05' please :yes:

Great post D!!!! My sentiments exactly!! I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought this, but evidently not judging by the response to your thread!

I totally agree with you D. There's nothing more pathetic for a musician than going backwards, and I can't think of a single instance of a band reuniting that wasn't ridiculous or motivated by financial reasons, which is the worst case scenario, unless you pull a Sex Pistols and say "we didn't make a cent in the first place, so now we're reuniting for the money and if you're stupid enough to shell out 30 bucks to come see us, it's your problem". At least they were honest about it.
I don't see it happening at all anyway, so I'm not really worried about that.

I don't want the old gnr!

I'm pretty used to the idea of the original GNR being split, I don't care that much whether they play together again. I kind of see Axl as a part of the future, and Slash & Duff (despite of VR) as a part of the past.

I'd want to see the original GnR reunite for the right reasons and not just for money.

No I don't want a reunion at the moment. I Want first to see what this NewGNR has to offer. I am really looking forward to the CD and what Axl is cooking the past years. I really want Buckethead to be on CD.

I don't want a reunion just for the money.

I don't see any reunion happening in the future.

Old GNR Was The Greatest thing but it is over for more than 10 years. Now i need to listen to the NewGNR....

Come on Axl bring out the fuckin CD.

GUNS N' ROSES ARE DEAD.

LONG LIVE GUNS N' ROSES.

MISFIT RULES.  :P

I don't think you're the only one D. But myself, I would like to see the original five together again. Even if it was just a quick jam or something.

I don't understand how anyone wouldn't love to see the old lineup get together for a show or something and jam on something like Welcome to the Jungle. Seeing slash play that song again would be something I would definitely pay money to see.

I'm willing to see what "the new" gnr and axl can achieve, but i'd love to see a reunion happen, not just a reunion tour, but a long term one.

I say get the original line up back together. If it is taking Axl this long to put an album together, maybe he isn't as 'genius' as everyone thinks he is. It doesn't take the better part of a decade to put out an album with 15 or so tracks on it. So maybe the old line up wasn't holding him back, as much as they were holding him in check. Some poeple just get to creative and bury themselves in so many ideas that they are unable to sort thru them and end up drowning. I'm sure Izzy and comapny were able to contain him and get the best out of him.

How has whats been happening for the last 5-6 years better than the original band? They haven't given us an album, they gave us a botched tour, and the lineup is in constant question.

Judging by Slash's post GNR work, i no longer consider him any great loss to the GNR camp - while a GNR reunion would be intresting at this stage a new album by the current line up is preferable.

No you are not the only one....

A reunion at this point would be for money purposes only and the only person who may be having money issues at this point is Axl...

No reunion desired :-X

Personally I'm itching too see what Axl comes up with. If its as good as everyone says it is, then I don't think we'll be needing a re-union. If it doesn't meet expectations, then, yes, I hope we get a re-union!

I SO hope there is some kind of announcement this month!

I just went to the VR concert in Cincy last night, and saw Axl's and when he was out on tour, and all I can say is that a reunion is totally necessary. While I totally loved both concerts, all I could find myself doing was dreaming about what it would be like to here the opening cords to Jungle, and see Slash on the other end. Or to here Sweet Child, with Axl screaming over Axl's guitar. Such a moment would be electric, and while each band is good and I love them.....neither will ever capture the magic that occured between Axl and the original guys when the stars were aligned and they were motivated.

I want to hear the New record bad, but even if he releases the mozart of rock n roll albums it will never recapture the live feeling of seeing Slash on the other end of an Axl scream. I hope that each band does what they're going to do and let it runs its course, and then get back together for one final run. I think fans are craving it, looking at how well the original bands material is still doing....there is definitely a market for them to do so.

I wouldnt like a reunion just for money, with the band all hating Axl or hating  in any way.Yhe only reunion I would like to see is Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven sitting on a conference table and saying:Akright, we?ve finally talked and  we have forgive each other, were comming back!
But for the moment I dont see that happending so I?ll rather wait for Axl to get CD out now!!!
inuff said







Baby Slash//

It means you are only an average music listener, who can't judge the quality of music, only the quality of vocals and lyrics. Sad.

I have read numerous times from Slash and Duff that they have been offered millions to due a reunion tour but said they would never do it for the money. Plus they have to get Axl and Izzy on board and I don't see that happening anytime soon. We all know Steven would do it but honestly I don't think he could play a lot of Sorums parts.

As for missing the old G n' R, well as far as I'm concerned there is only one G n' R .  If Axl's present circus act was his band back in 1886 we wouldn't be here talking about him today. 

Later
 

you are not the only one


but I SURE AS HELL would LOVE to see the old band back together!

It's obvious so far D that slash said they have been offered good money and would only have a reunion of some kind if there's mutual respect.. Regardless I would like to see axl n slash do a record or tour like page n plant did..

Nothing is truly the same when  you reunite (excpet maybe aerosmith) but I'd love to see the afd gnr one more time, not for money but because they wanted it..

I don't want the old GNR to get back together since I've heard that Duff,Slash and Matt were against songs like NR or Estranged. I say fuck that!

Have you ever done a lot of money doing something you hate, for the sake of family stability or social recgonition or what ever?
It makes you feel like shit and not very fun to be around. In the end it doesn't work for anybody.
Would i love to see the old line up?
YES, back in the day when they were playing together because it meant something to them and you could feel the vibe.
I would lose respect for them if they played like going to a 9 to 5 job, you would listen to the songs reminiscing on time long gone and the band would be listening to the cash registrator.
Artistic integraty is something i admire and it's so rare to find this days.
I realy admire Axl/Slash for not going the easier path and keep "beating the dead horse" to cash in and try to do something new with their lifes and talent.

I saw them at their best in '87 and at  their worst in '92.

No need to see it again. 

But what if they wrote new songs, and put on like a couple show tour? Sorum wrote the music for Set Me Free and thats like the perfect sound for GNR. Axl would of been wise to keep Sorum around. Now he has Brain (I dont like the old music, i just want Axl's paychecks) who probably contributes very little besides maybe percussion beats.

I'm not interested in seeing the old line up again.  I saw them several times, and it was great then, but its done now.  They've moved on and so have I.  Anyway, when I look at the writing credits, it seems the songs I like the best were primarily done by Axl.  So I'm perfectly happy to see what the new gnr can do.

I am totally pro-new gnr
