Here Today... Gone To Hell!

1999- Slash said that just a phone call by Axl would make him return into GN'R
2002- Slash came to see a GN'R show at "Hard-Rock cafe Las Vegas". but Axl's bodyguards told him to leave the place.
2004 - VR plays GN'R cover songs during their shows. Most people know this is also the best part of their gigs....
2005 - Slash is "proud" when people came to VR concerts with GN'R tee-shirts.

I really feel he wants to return, he still loves a lot GN'R.

No.

He seems quite happy doing what he's doing now.

I mean, who wouldnt?Gn?R was Slash most important band (for the moment), it had great music, great songs, and for some time, they were all best friends.But I dont think he is that much desperate.Now he has a new kick ass band in wich he has friends too.I think what he says is, "I?m proud of being in Gn?R, I still love Axl, and I would say no if Axl asked me to come back, but for the ?ti?me VR is my band and I?m having a blast with the guys"











Baby Slash//

Wanting to come-back into GN'R doesn't mean he is not happy with VR. It's just that I feel he wouldn't say "no".

I'm pretty sure that, no he doesn't, he seems happy with Velvet Revolver.

Of course he's going to be proud when people where GN'R tees at his gigs, he was part of the band for their entire current recording history (minus one song).

He would love a call from the Axe Man Axl . But I know he waited a long time and that phone never rang

Yeah man, because you supposedly designed an ice sculpture for him...youre so inside!

I agree with Jarmo and AdZ.

well guys honestly its like this

im sure he is happy with VR and things are great but come on, u dont have that much success and do that much in a band and just walk away without any regrets.
 

its not a diss on slash either but im sure he and Duff wishes things had turned out differently with Axl

bottom line is, if Axl didnt get self absorbed and let his ego get out of control, GNR never wouldve broke up.

so im sure they miss GNR and im sure Axl misses them from time to time

its pride

we've all had friends and we get into it with them and both sides are too stubborn to give the other a call but if u were to see them out and start talking u would realize how much love u still had for each other.

im sure they all miss each other sometimes, its only natural that they do, u dont have that close of a relationship with someone and just throw it away.

Agree. I think that all of them (including Izzy) would go back if they managed to sort out the differences - but it's impossible since they are grown men, they went into different directions in the last 10 years, and while it's easy to make friends when you are a teen or in your early 20s, as time goes by, you'll lose friends, because all of you will have his/her own personality. Like childs are very similar in their mind with each year they become more and more different and unique. That's why I don't believe that there will be a reunion in the near future (or even in this life), because as I see there is only one chance for that t happen: if they become much much wiser, see how ridiculous this whole music business and life is, and they can work together for the joy of the work, nobody wants to control and nobody wants to run away, nobody wants to be the only and biggest star and nobody's jealous. Considering that only a small minoroty of human beings can reach that level of wisdom, and here is 5 guys ego is needed, that will never happen. Or it happens for the money, but it's not the same, although I'd happy with them doing their own things, but having a reunion tour in every 8 years like Black Sabbath does.

I suppose he might feel a little nostalgic when it comes to GN'R ,after all it's the band that made him big and the one he played with for abt 10 yrs, But IMO he's happy with VR and totally unlikely he's going to dump Scott and the rest even if he did get a call to come back to GN'R... :yes:

He must be proud because those guys made one of the greatest band of all time (for me it was te greatest). I'd be much more surprised if said that his GN'R past didn't mean much to him. Slash will always be recognized as the guitarist of GN'R and he knows it.

posting on the lines of what mikkamakka was saying

just cause they arent in GNR anymore that doesnt erase what they did, in their minds they will always remain GNR cause they had just as big a role as axl had in making GNR one of the greatest bands ever

just because they are in VR now doesnt mean they turn their backs or forget the legacy they forged in GNR so why wouldnt they be proud?

i guess it makes him proud cause when people wear GNR shirts, that shows that not everyone agrees that Axl Rose is GNR and it makes SLash happy that fans realize the importance of his contributions.

I am one of the biggest axl nuttswingers on the board but im not blind to the importance of the old band and i realize they were equally responsible for GNR's success.

Slash already said what had to happen...He said he would go back, but i think right know someting has to happen to VR for it to happen..But he said they would have to pretty much do what Metallica did,,sit ina  room and talk, Axl would have to apologize and they all would

Guns is behind him now and he likes what he is doing in VR

Not at this point in time, no.

It would be a very touching moment and tears of happiness would flood the earth, if slash, duff, izzy and matt(not steven) would come back to gnr. But this is one of those things that we call miracles. And miracles ain't that usual.












If you find this post too mushy. Just call 0700-IDONTGIVEASHIT

Just called.Very nice people. :hihi: :hihi:

What do you think  would hapen if Slash got a call from Axl saying : I?ve worked things out with Izzy and Steven and I want you and Duff back.
Although I dont see it posible, Slash always says that if that hapened he?d be happy to come back.But do you think he?d be that a bitch and leave Dave Matt and Scott like that?I dont really think so.
I think he exagerates a bit on the "I would came back" thing.







Baby Slash//

be nice.? Which you would rather tolerate -? ice sculptures or Mr Venezuela.



you mean, Slash wouldnt say "no" to joining the current lineup?? I dont think so.? I cant picture him agreeing to be one of 8 (or 10 or 12) members of newGNR.? ?I also cant picture him making vague statements about CD's release to the press every few months.? You really think he's gonna put up with that.

I would have to say that Slash is happy right now with VR.  I am not saying that sometime in the future it isnt possible for a GnR reunion but I don't think he would take GnR over VR right now.

I think the only way that is happening is if it's the original 5. Everyone would have to be on board. And I think he is too content now and something ad would have to happen with velvet revolver. But I wouldn't say even under those circumstances it would be definite. I mean seeing the Guns shirts at shows brings back good memories but I am sure him and all the other guys have plenty of bad ones that they would have to get over.

Fuck people.  ::)

Slash is always happy with whatever he's doing at the moment.

He was happy with Slash's Snakepit.

He was happy with the revamped version of Slash's Snakepit.

He's happy with Velvet Revolver.

But none of that means he wouldn't rather still be in Guns N' Roses under the circumstances he, to use his own words, "considered optimum."

Not a chance.

He has no reason to leave. He's in a very successful band right now, he's still with close friends and there isn't any of that turmoil that existed in G n' R.  IMO VR is just gonna get bigger.

G n' R was a train wreck from the start. And G n' R today, still  is a train wreck, minus the music.

Slash did his time, he doesn't have or want to go through the ringer again to get a record out.

And lets not foget the lawsuit.  Honestly, if Slash wanted back in Guns I think he would have dropped, better yet,  not ever filed suit against Axl.

Our chances of seeing a Guns reunion are as good as seeing a NHL game this year.

Later,

DH

I think Slash has always been very perplexed by Axl's behavior and disappointed that he couldn't make it work with him.  So I do think even if they never played together again (which is more than likely) that Slash would like to talk to him at least, despite all the legal issues. 

As cool as a guns reunion or whatever would be, I dont think its very likely, and in my oppinion, VR is looking better and better compared to newGNR. They may be minus Axl, but there performing, releasing, recording...not stringin the diehards along like this lol. Not that I wouldnt love to see slash playing behind Axl again, with Duff and Matt there too.

I think Slash has great respect for the legacy he left in Guns and is proud of what they acheived

He does seem a happy-go-lucky type but also has a strong work ethic, always wanting to keep busy playing and touring

Him and present day Axl couldnt really be further apart

well dude the owners and players are only like 5 million apart on a salary cap

there will be hockey this season  28 game regular season and a full playoff!

so..... GNR reunion???

I don't think Slash would be human if he didn't feel a lot of pride and nostalgia when he sees kids wearing GNR shirts.

I'd assume that he regrets the way that GNR finished and the fact that he couldn't make it work with Axl.

That pretty much says it all, in a nutshell. Well put : ok:

I think slash is very happy and proud to be in vr, anyways why would he want to be in gnr when he will never ge to play?

I don't think Slash would want to go back to GNR at this point in time. Right now he seems completely contented with what he is doing. He is in a new band that is successful. He is able to tour and make music he enjoys. There is no reason for him to go back to GNR. Why would he go back to all of the stress of dealing with Axl when he already has it good?

NO!
Eveytime someone asks them something on Axl or GNR issues take a look on their faces.
How would you like to be together with someone like Axl for 10 years?
Bin Laden or Bush are babies for Axl.

Errrrrm, you say come back to GNR?

There is no GNR without Slash Izzy and Duff!!

Axl`s solo attempt ( which he calls gnr and anybody with more than 2 brain cells knows that it isnt the case! ) hasnt even got off the starting blocks in over 10 years of nothing ! not even a courteous hello and thank u + update for all the ` fans ` ?

Now, if axl were to make a public statement about how his mental issues made him think he was GNR and appologise to the fans for fucking eveyone over, change the name of his solo effort, and last but now least appologise to Slash Duff Matt Izzy Gilby and anyone else he`s shafted over the whole GNR downfall due to him being a  self indulgent fuckwitted asshole whos out of touch with reality, then maybe things could turn around for the better!

OK when I count to three start holding your breath.

One....

Two...

THREE!!!

November 7th, 1991 - Izzy Stradlin leaves GN'R.

December 5th, 1991 - The first show of the second US leg of the tour in Worcester, MA. with Soundgarden opening.




You're breaking the rules, that's what gets people banned.

Your ignorance is astounding.


Guns N' Roses Not Able to Perform at Rock in Rio
Tuesday March 30, 6:00 am ET
A Message from W. Axl Rose

On behalf of Guns N' Roses and myself I apologize to the fans who planned to see us at Rock In Rio - Lisbon.






/jarmo

10 years makes me so freakin upset when i read that shit


it hasnt been 10 years since we've heard from axl, for fucks sake he did the VMA's and a brief tour in 2002.

lets see Duff didnt quit till 97 or so correct?

so Axl pretty? much started from scratch in 1998

here is what Axl had to do in no particular order

1.replace the members WHO QUIT! do u know how hard it is to find a band? i am an independent musician and i cant find hardly one other person i can work with so can u appreciate how hard it must be for Axl to find an entire band of guys that have chemistry and can work together?
2. he has lawsuits galore. i think he is holding up the CD release till all this shit with Slash and Duff is resolved, i think he'd hate for Duff and Slash to somehow be able to block the album or hurt the album with some sort of lawsuit

3. he had to mourn the deaths of a lot of people and mourn the loss of his bandmates who he felt betray him

4 he learned guitar, learned how to use the latest technology, correct me if im wrong but i dont think they had protools and stuff like that back when the illusions were recorded, correct me if im wrong cause im not sure

so he studied and became an expert at that.

next he rehearsed with the new band, gelled and started writing songs


for a normal band 5/6 years would be a very long time

given the circumstances to Axl and all he's had to rearrange and do, that isnt that long in reality.

When we get CD, his voice will be amazing.  All of the effects will fix his voice.  When you go to the concert, it will blow.  I saw nu gnr twice.  once on Dec 29 2001 and once Detroit 2002.  Great shows, but Axl's voice can't handle a full show anymore.  Paradise City is where his lost ability to sing/scream most obvious.  When he screams now he sounds like a girl.  it sounds gae. 

I don't think Slash is wanting to come back to GNR. GNR is part of his history in rock music and I'm sure he is proud of that fact. While I'm sure he would have preferred a more civilized closure to the whole thing, in the end, Slash has always done what Slash has wanted to do. 

Slash changes his story every time he tells a story.  First, he doesn't want people recognizing GN'R during VR shows, and now he's proud that they recognize GN'R?

I think that if Slash wanted to go back, he would talk to Axl. 

In a word: NO.

Youre showing a real penchant for inventing these VR-related quotes...

Please show us where this was said.

When Izzy was with them in September, didn't all the guys get upset because the crowd was chanting GN'R?

You mean the show where Scott threw his megaphone into the crowd?



/jarmo

I don't know.  I just heard that when Izzy was with them in September (I think the Paris show), the crowd chanted "Guns N' Roses", and the guys got upset about it.

So there is no quote, or any real source for the claims youve made?  Just your foggy recollection of a thread on this forum?  Youve made my point.  : ok:

the incident did happen Booker, im not sure if izzy was on stage but it was when scott threw his megaphone in the crowd

they were chanting GUNS N ROSES

Right...and what does that have to do with Slash?

Not to mention wearing a GNR t-shirt out of respect and chanting "Guns N' Roses" at a VR gig are two very different things.

i guess they were chanting GNR because when they see slash and duff they think of GNR. it doenst have anything to do with SLash wanting to be in GNR but im sure he gets nostalgic sometimes.

I meant what does it have to do with this comment:

oh

yeah u are totally right about that

my fault i misunderstood.

i always heard they embraced GNR fans at the shows. well except scott that one time.

i would like to see most of the original line up of GNR do a reunion world tour, then go back to what ever they were doing before.

I think after VR Slash would be open to working with Gn'r again but Axl marching on as Gn'R kind of ruins that. Axl should have the balls to go out as a new band and if Gn'R ever worked together it would be great, and if they didn't then legacy wouldn't be tarnished anymore than it is being now.

Axl should have the balls to be a man.  He needs to learn to take care of himself, rather than relying on crazy people around him and making excuses like "it wouldn't be healthy for me". 

If Axl can't learn to be a man and take care of himself, then his life is always going to be just the way it is now.  Some rich guy in a mansion working on his precious album, living with his "mother".
