Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Andrew Dice Clay Brought Guns n? Roses Back Together

Iconic comedian Andrew Dice Clay has always been bigger than life, but now he explained that like the Machavallian character he is, he laid the groundwork for the upcoming Guns n? Roses reunion at Coachella.
Dice called comedian and columnist Jeffrey Gurian this week, and told his friend that over a series of months he connected with Gn?R members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagen, as well as road manager Tom Mayhew and helped to grease the wheels to get the reunion underway.


Back in February 2015, Slash surprised the music world by tweeting @AxlRose wishing him a Happy Birthday. According to Dice, he helped make that tweet happen when he told GnR road manager Tom Mayhew, who he?s been friends with for nearly three decades that they need to get Slash to tweet something good about Axl.  Soon after, the infamous birthday tweet.

Dice says he?d run into Slash when he was performing in Australia and told Slash that Guns had millions of fans who would love to seem them get back together.  He also opened for Axl at the Hard Rock in Vegas, and told Axl that it was time for the band to get back together.

 A few months later, Duff McKagen came to see Dice?s son?s band, previously known as L.A. Rocks, now Still Rebel. Dice says Duff told him Still Rebel was ready to break out. Dice, in return, mentioned to Duff that he thought Guns should get back together.

And now the band is set to reunite at Coachella and Slash and Axl will be on stage together for the first time since 1996.  So maybe it is just a coincidence, or maybe Dice really is the force that brought together the most sought after reunion of the year.

 So thank Dice, Guns N Roses fans. Cause he may have made this happen.
Gn?R and Still Rebel aren?t the only ones having a big year.  Andrew Dice Clay has a huge year ahead of him too, with a giant role in Scorsese?s Vinyl debuting February 14th on HBO, and a new Showtime series debuting on April 17th called Dice.

I'm thinking coincidence.

Anyone remember back to Golden Gods 2014...Dice mentioned emailing with Axl which was not true if I remember.  What happened was Dice had been emailing with someone who claimed to be Axl?

He said he was communicating with someone via gmail claiming to be Axl, Axl told him he doesn't use gmail.

Personally, I think Duff had a big part in this whole thing. Especially after spending an extended period of time with Axl in 2014.

Maybe they've all simply grown up and matured and realized there's a lot of $$$ to be made with this. Either way we win if it gets guns touring again.

I ate some ice cream last week.  Think it's fair to say it was me who's responsible for all this.

Haha. I think Dice's been a band supporter for a long time- so definitely credit there.

At the end of the day though- I think Spirit's got his finger on it. None of this is happening IMHO if the "2014 South American Experiment" w/Duff didn't go as well as it apparently did. :peace:

Haven't shared a stage together since 1996 someone needs to do there research

I'm with you 1 million percent. This never happens unless The Replacements book that tour.

I hope one day down the road we get some tidbits on how it all went down...who called who..etc etc.

Watching to see who pops up next attempting to take credit for the reunion (And getting some PR visibility in the process)

Not sure if the bothers the guys in the band, but if it does, doing an in-depth interview about what has transpired would shut all that down.

I'm Brian and so's my wife!

My money is still on Fred Durst...

Just have to laugh when you scroll down on that page and there's a link that says "Listen as Slash Says Nice Things About Axl Rose"  :rofl:

Hahahaha

You really put in yeoman work on this whole thing.  We are in your debt.

It's crap like this that could ruin the whole thing. 

Only one person could cock this up, and it ain't the Diceman.

There are TWO people who could "cock this up" or "ruin the whole thing" and neither of them are Dice or AdZ.

Please use the reply button instead of quoting the entire conversation.  Some of us aren't that bright and it took me a few seconds to figure out that AdZ's eating ice cream has more to do with facilitating the reunion than the point the two of you are trying to make about what could cause this all to go south.  Thanks.

Haha, sorry. 

Well fuck this whole time I thought it was cause Axl read my posts. Damn!

i dont know who got them back together, but i do know who had all kinds of dark plans set in motion to prevent this from happening. in spite of their, and particularly his sinister efforts, this has still somehow managed to happen.  ;)

so far 2 idiots "opened up" to have played a role in the reunion.Both of them untalented,one is so-called singer ,rockstar wannabe and the other a not-so-funny-comedian.
Let's see who else emerges...

Thanks MAMAKIN

I imagine a number of celebs have been "working on the reunion for years."

Think about.  Just about every celeb friend they have has likely one time or another asked them if they will ever get back together. 

Not sure that counts as "working on the reunion" though.

Anyone can make the claim that they helped bring the reunion together but in the end it all came down to Axl n Slash putting aside whatever differences they had and said lets see if we can make this work those are the only 2 that really matter anyone outside of that is just trying to get notoriety because its only going to become a bigger story as we get closer to these dates and people wanting to know how this all came about.

Steven Employee GNR Crew ???

 :rofl: :hihi: :rofl:

All these celebrities are full of it, the reunion ball started rolling only after Michael Jackson was out of the way.

I believe only Marc Canter being the "catalyst" for Axl and Slash starting communicating again.He is friends with both even after his Reckless Road book came out,which must have pissed-off Axl.
Duff as well.
Everything will unfold in the near future,i suppose.

I thought Marc hadn't been in contact with Axl for years. Axl apparently wasn't too happy with the timing of the release of his book.

It surely pissed of Axl and according to Canter, they haven't spoken since.

The only catalyst here can be Duff.

Anyone else would be scared to even broach the subject of Slash with Axl.  It's only Duff's history with both that got him a pass to speak freely.

Right?

I agree. Duff's words would weigh way more than anyone outside the band.

I think anyone else would think even broaching the subject was a suicide mission that got you a one way ticket to Siberia.

I bet that Duff will be approached to write a new book about this whole thing,being an actual good writer that he is.

A book. Or, if they all were willing to give an interview, I think it would have been very interesting to hear about the process and their thoughts about reuniting.

I would suspect Duff was the driving force behind this too but at the end of the day this is happening because all three of them have decided - for whatever reasons - to put the past behind them and go forward together and that only happens if all three are comfortable with it.

Axl, Slash and Duff (and Izzy, Steven and even Matt) have been fielding reunion questions since they broke up and I'm sure more than just these people coming out and stating it's down to them have tried or mentioned it to them over the years.

Howard Stern,Eddie Trunk or even better Jamey Jasta's podcast is a better place for a full enlightening chat.

Put it that context, I think it's all on Axl. 

Because I think Slash or Duff would have done this years ago.  But with Axl still calling Slash "a cancer best removed" as recently as a few years ago, that was pretty much a sign he wasn't quite there yet.

You remember what Axl was naming Izzy back in the 1993 summer concerts ? yet 13 years later they were friendly again to the point where Izzy was a special guest on stage.
The "cancer better removed" thing got forgotten  way faster than 13 years.

Andrew Dice Clay has always been one of the world's leading experts in inflated egomania.

It's not all Axl. Team Brazil have a big part of this too.

Steven Tyler I'm sure talked to Slash a lot last summer. He did say he had nothing to do with it.

I saw Andrew Dice Clay when he opened for Guns on 6/7/14 (Vegas, last night) and he was filthy. Not just obscene, but filthy nasty dirty. In the row in front of me there was a teenager with his mom and dad. He must have been incredibly embarrassed as Clay talked about cumshots and bleached assholes.  :rofl:

Most people get wiser, if not smarter, as they age. It seems, though, That ADC is still a fucking idiot.

You liked him ? I mean,being dirty and nasty doesn't raise the laughter bar.
Compared to Richard Pryor,young Eddie Murphy and George Carlin he does not even qualify.

I did not say I liked him. I was making an observation and the fact that it was NOT an act to see with your parents. That is what was funny.

Try Jim Norton...

Indeed.  I couldn't stand Dice Clay even in his heyday, and it's primarily because he didn't (and apparently still doesn't) know the difference between nasty and funny.

Stephen Tyler said that he helped get GNR back together (Howard Stern Show). Just glad it happened/will happen?

I would bet Duff had more to do with this than most anyone else.  Except ADZ, without that ice cream there would be no Guns N' Roses today :smoking:

We are forever in his debt.

Duff, too (I guess).

I give you full credit sir!

I believe:

- Duff
- TeamB
- Universal
- Bussiness
- Not Guitars & Bass
- Tommy Very Bad By Insane

Much Factors.

All roads point to Tom Mayhue, which is what Dice said.
