Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Everyone... GET EXCITED! AXL'S GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER. YOWWWWW!

Although we all know that this is a rehashing/misreading of the RS article, I've decided to post for everyone's pleasure a link to a google search news item entitled "Guns n' Roses to Reunite," courtesy of Life Style Extra UK.

http://www.lse.co.uk/ShowbizNews.asp?Code=ZX23964R&headline=guns_n_roses_to_reunite

Check it out and enjoy how the author assigns his or her own meanings to Axl's quotes.

No, its not. Its just a reharsh of Rolling Stone's article and the person who wrote this was pretty biased. Axl didn't say anything about a concrete reunion.

Edited: sorry, I just read your post. You're right about the author. :P

now thats whatr i call a well written article  :hihi:

Its quite funny how the author of that articles believe that GNR are reuniting.

"Everytime there is a big show we are rumoured to be there." - I THINK he is talking about the new band... :hihi:

They managed to get info that GNR is reuniting by Axl saying "I haven't spoken to Slash in 10 years"

Disgraceful.

The original article  "As for a reunion with his former Gn'R mates, that seems unlikely. "

a "well written" article "The original members of Guns 'n' Roses could reunite, lead singer Axl Rose has claimed." :hihi:

horribly misleading 2 cents. And I guess there's been hell lots of "well written articles" like this one.

one day axl n slash will share the same stage, at the same time

Chinese Dem , I mean , the reunion starts now!!

Sooner than people usually think.

Just wait and see.

That article has just twisted all the quotes.

A reunion isn't happening anytime soon. Especially after Chinese Democracy is released under the Guns N' Roses name.

Anyway, we don't need to get excited about a reunion as if there is nothing else to look forward to, cos we have the NEW Guns N' Roses record to get excited about  : ok:

If I said that I almost wish the old GNR would never reunite, would that fuck any of you up? I think Rock bands reuniting, is one of the lamest cliches in Rock music. The only time it has ever been cool, was when Spinal Tap did it. Maybe Black Sabbath.

GNR are above this tired gimmick. They are the real deal exactly because of how they lived it, and how they broke up. They were always on the verge of self destruction. That wasnt an act. You never knew when it was going to be it, or one of them would have died. They finally did self destruct. Why haven't they (Axl and Slash) talked in 10 years? The real answer that only Axl and Slash could say, is the same answer as to why they should never reunite. Bands who reunite are generally speaking, fucking lame (or were lame to begin with).

Man, GNR should never fall back into doing something that will make their legacy fucked, by falling into this overtly money grubbing tired cliche rock n' roll trappings. GNR will be more special (as a story goes) if the original group never reunites. Think about this before just letting your overly emotional chick part of yourselves run your mouth and fingers.

It would be a shit load cooler, if Axl just releases some fucking masterpieces with the new GNR his way. Fuck looking back. Live and let die.

ummm if axl release an album with a new band that bombed completely, that would fuck up the gnr legacy more than a reunion.

that's your opinion, but nothing is lamer then someone using the huge name to keep a side project going time wise n funds.. The better thing would have been to allow the band to be broken up and move on.. ?How are they above this tired gimmik>>??? They have been a running joke for years with cd and axl's looks have surpassed his talents in water cooler talk.... ?So if the worse thing that could happen is the afd gnr reunites then lets hope for the worst

I hope the "new band" will die as soon as possible.

This is only because Chinese D isn't out yet. If the album is great, nobody is gonna give a shit about the things you are stating here, or be able to talk shit about any of it. What Axl has been doing (and on this scale) has never ever been done. Until we hear the product, you can't classify the unknown as lame. Shit this has been a joke. But if Chinese D isn't a joke, and is something fucking real and serious, none of this matters anymore. Nothing but the new GNR's future.

Yes, your gunna make all kinds of new friends here with that attitude.. :hihi:

that's a nice sentiment. and as for your signature, john lennon was the beatles, everyone knows that. and  starting pitchers don't warm up to the beatles, they warm up to guns n' roses. Mark McGwire didn't hit his 62nd HR after Let It Be, he hit it after his name was announced to WTTJ. Guns N' Roses, the term, the being, is beyond comprehension. It is an energy ship travelling a million miles an hour sometimes seemingly no where at all. And only two cared enough to not jump off, to ride this crazy train wherever it leads.

yeah maybe i'm insane, but this is what happens when a gunner has a 103 fever and the stomach flu

guns n' roses 2006 jarmo if this forum ever stops working again i'm gonna kill myself ok ?

Sad thing is: not one of us know whats going on. Funniest thing is:  this reminds me of reading the Sunday comics. Axl's probable reads this stuff and laughs his ass off. :hihi:

NO NO NO NO NO NO AND FUCKIN NO!!!!! There WILL NEVER be a reunion or so we can all hope, it would suck plus slash is a dick. This is the biggest pos article ever axl never even mentiond or hinted about a reunion or anything to do with one. So i guess he can talk to any old members or it means theres a reunion coming. VR is happy in their shit band adler snorting and shooting somewhere and Axl is making one kick ass fucking cd and going to tour again with the new and kick ass band!

Well,I for one am a fan of both the original band and the new band as well,and no matter what anyone says it's not gonna be up to us what GN'R do or don't do.I think this board is great,and if there was no Guns N' Roses at all,I bet this board would cease to exist,so we should all just get along because most of us are fans of the old and the new :peace:

I only said what I did because of how you made it seem so crazy and idiotic for someone to want to see the gnr they loved growing up one day be side by side on the same stage again// For me that is what gnr was and would like to see that part of my youth again..

and what if one day they did agree to this?? WOuld you just say fuck this?? I mean how could you get angry in years to come (after cd vr) if they became friends again and did what they wanted and what a lot of the public would definetly enjoy..  Gnr has played in front of like 6 million people in thier lifetime, I'm sure a good chunk of that wouldn't mind seeing slash with izzy n axl along with duff m steve if possible..

If the album is great I will love it and will have one in my car and in my stereo at ho,me... but that will not change how I view gnr or who is gnr to me

I can classify this as lame because of how long it has taken, axl came back with new guys started from new years to rio to vmas to the msg show and then left.. ANy other person that was this uncool to their fans would get a tongue lashing from gnr fans.. By your theory ZI can never say it's lame even if it takes 50 years to get cd because there's no product.. Well everything until that time is up IS lame.. I don't think the new guys are lame at all, I don't think their time n effoprt is lame, I think axl's could careless attitude sucks and to a degree how he feeels gnr is him and was him alone.. You don't have to agree with me, but I loved old real gnr and that was my youth...

that's a pretty narrow minded comment... So vr sucks, adler's a dick/druggie and axl's the man making an album you never even heard which is great without a listen.. Hey bud at least these people are out and about doing wha the fuck they want regardless of what you think... : ok:

This whole comment to me is something a kid would say, gnr fan but hates the members of gnr..  yeah bullshit yourself all you want that axl made the best album ever, that he is gnr and that nio one else mattered or matters.. That dick you mentioned did every killer solo on afd lies UYI 1-2, tsi so please stop acting like a little whiney kid only thinking of himself.. This is a gnr board, that consists of past present and future so everyone wants something...

I never visit the queen boards or zepplin, I wonder if they hate their guitar players like this?? The guys deserve to do whatever they want and again hopefully one day (after cd) they come back together... If you listen to 5 songs from axl only then you aren't really a gnr fan

Great post, Mike. I also dont understand these guys who think they must insult ex members to show their undying loyalty to Axl. I will be first in line to say I dont like Contraband, and I make the ocassional joke about it, but I would never go as far as insulting former members or calling into question their integrity. Its absurd the lengths some of these people will go to.  What does it matter if ex members are out touring and doing albums, or one of them has sucked dick in the past for drugs? As long as these guys are happy with where they are in life now, that is what should matter the most.

I ahve to agree big on this point, , I want GNR as now to break all boundries, reach the highest hieghts, but as mike did and others, I grew up with the origional band, and that band played a tremedous part of the background music of my life. Im not a fan of VR, but Im not gonna go so far and disrespect what GNR was , all the players played a huge part........now there are new players, who I admire tremendously and love what they bring.

If thiere was a day that all origional decided to get on stage again, I would sell my mother and father to if need be for a tix.lol..ok jk maybe not that far. BUt my point is I want to expierience this era . As I have come fond of the players.

Down the line, at the end of the day, yrs from now and GNR today adn Axl puts out kick ass music. For me it would be nice to see if just for one night those 5 people that started this jauganaut play again without hatred or animosity, but jus to fuckin play!

I would rather Axl stick to his guns (no pun intended) with what he is doing now..

A reunion would mean that people would remember Axl's new band as something he played around with before regrouping the original line up and make all his current work insignificant.

I'd rather "Axl went his own direction and continued to make music with his new band" rather than "Axl had a stint with a new line up before regrouping the original band".

Very true Mike and James
These cats that diss on Slash (the man that gave us those unforgettable solos that are every bit as important to GNR of old as Axls wail) are clueless

I say my coment more in the one off, thing, hell I would love 10 yrs from now, have every ember that played a crital part in Guns , be on stage together for a 5 guitar, dueling druns, keys bonaza, now wouldnt that be sweet.

good interpretation :rofl:

I respect all of you. I do. But sometimes, some of you say things that make me think you just see things very 2D. A lot are talking about growing up with GNR and the impact they made on you. I feel that. GNR felt to me like something the Rock gods created just for me. I always felt that it was so fucking weird that they got the mass love from so many millions of other because they were so personal to me. GNR meant everything to me. When they disbanded I got way fucked up even though I always half expected them to, and with how they lost there way during the UYI tours, I was also half happy they did to.

As time went by, I grew to except things they way they are, and the way things I have no control over have come to pass. I grew to dig the shit out of Buckethead, and in that, I started missing the old band less and less, and looked forward to Chinese Democracy with the fresh new GNR paint-job more and more.

I look forward to the future and not some fake gathering for nostalgic sake. If I want nostalgia, I'll play some old classic Nintendo game, Kung Fu flick, or monster movie. Or how about this idea. I will play Appetite and smile because of how fucking awesome it still is. But those guys who put it together was fucking masterpiece for the time. For the time. But the music they made are timeless. But now I look forward to new music from this GNR more than hearing yesterdays ones. Life is too short for me to live for nostalgic sake. Fuck that shit.

GNR belongs to people who want it the most. And who want to give us what could be a much bigger and cutting edge sound. Maybe that's it. GNR was always cutting edge. GNR, as it was with the old lineup is no longer that, and can never be that. It ( a reunion) is for those who are desperately trying to relive what maybe is the best times of their life. I like to think that the best times are ahead of me. Maybe some of you should too.

Budda that was a great post, felt the same way : ok:

Yeah Buddha, a wonderful post. :beer:

a TRUE post : ok:

I was just wondering if anyone thinks Megadeth are really Megadeth, and at what point were they not? 'Deth has less original members than GNR, only Dave mustaine of this line up has been on any previous album (at least Dizzy has played with UYI) But noone seems to care, i think it's coz GNR has changed all at once, rather than bit by bit like megadeth. (Incidentally, I think they're still viable, but it was a shame when Ellefson left, he was a tie to the good ol' days. My fave lineup was mustaine ellefson menza friedman. Anyone else?) Not TOO GNR, sorry, but I thought it was relevant, who can you change, and how many?

guns n roses reunite??
sad but true  ...When hell freezes over!

The best gift to a GNR fan would definitely be a reunion....
I would prefer a reunion instead of C.D., but of course a new album...  :peace:

For a true music fan,
Chinese Democracy will be it.

Buddha, good posts. The best times are ahead of us!

The best gift for a GNR fan would be to get what he want... in your and many others case, a reunion. In my case and many others the new GNR ball start rolling, CD, tour and stuff.. I would even be happy just for a new song..

Im not on this or that side.. But i really do belive in Axl, and the worked he have layed down in this band! It would be sad to not be able to listen to that
stuff, even if a reunion with the old guys was the roadblock.

But i guess im realistic when i say, that there MAY be a reunion sometime in the future.. But i really want the preset guys to blow us away with great music before we start taling about any kind of reunion..

I should have said... The best gift to the original GNR line-up fans would be a reunion.

By the way Chinese democracy, true music? Well who knows that lets wait and see.

Let me tell you this I only follow a few bands so close that I know more members then just the famous ones.. I only know dave mustaine fronts megadeth but have a few of the albums but am clueless to who is in or out... I think the name of a  band and what they are only matter to true fans, ... That is what say gnr is to me,... A band I follow religiously since afd and the guys themselves..

dont agree with everything, but a great post for sure  : ok:

If you search today in google news "guns n roses", you'll get quite a lot of articles with the title "gnr to reunite", "axl talks of a reunion...", etc etc. It's just very bad journalism.

yeah  it`s CD.    a reunion would be VERY cool for a few farewell concerts....but otherwise buddha explains it the best.

and people wonder why Axl stays silent :no:

It's just absurd. It just shows how internet is a "big garbage can". :hihi:

That wouldn't just be Axl admitting, or mildly hinting at defeat, but it would be rubbing salt in the open wound of us Gn'R fans, as well as Axl's gaping ego. Axl's future will live or die by the success of Chinese Democracy, not how many tickets some cheesy reunion tour sells.


I totally agree with you entire post Buddha, especially the part I highlighted.

It would be redundant to wish a reunion upon any of the 5 members now as their lives, and hearts are all in completely different places now and always will be than they were back in '86/87 on the Sunset strip when they made that one true masterpiece. I may remain a firm believer the original band may one day take the stage together for one last show, but not within the realm of my vision...Axl and the new band have worked to damn long and hard on this beast just to chain it back up in the basement...

i bet there won?t be a reunion with steven. not even for one show.  so forget about the "original band"..... the guy?s just too fucked up...
