Who you think/want will replace DJ and BBF

[jarmo]

Reading some of these replies.... I don't think some of you read the subject line.

Or am I missing something?

You are, but I suspect its very intentional on your part.

You suspect wrong.

I see a question about two guitarists and I see several answers that list one guitarist and a bass player.

Yeah, I'm starting to look at the next album as more of a nice fantasy these days.

Ya know what talks? Money. And a reunion tour would make a ton of it. That seems more realistic.  Not some new fantasy album that's been hung over the remaining fan base's heads for years now.

Look, I got sucked in.  I'll cop to it.

Yes, yes, a professional cynic that just about always feels Axl will struggle to come through in some meaningful way...but I was sucked in by that interview.

My rationale was that he never said shit about this for YEARS.  Suddenly, he was talking.  He seemed to be having fun onstage at that Golden Gods thing and the residency.  I thought he was finally ready.

Of course...2015 DX looks back at 2014 DX and says..."what are you, an idiot?"

Since that interview, not a peep of any progress.  3 major band defections.  And a management team we can't get an answer out of at gunpoint.

Nothing has changed.

And you know what, I'm labeling that stone cold gospel.  What the fuck, right?  Might as well go on record so I can reap the rewards later.  Not be that wishy washy optimist type that can't find the words to go on record, but will still claim they believe.

Fuck that noise.  I don't believe.  It's not going to happen.  Let there be no confusion where I stand.

I'm not quite there yet. I am actually still willing to take Fernando on his word and wait it out for some news within the rough time frame he gave us. I dont think im being gullible... but i dont want to be accused of anything else until that time frame has reasonably passed.

I'm just talking about a new album done by post-2000 people.

Not that Fernando will never have anything to say about anything.

[norway]

If he do more shows as gunsnroses Axl will be back with updated modern lineup I think.

 After the new album is delivered and/or with a modern setlist.

Ya know what talks? Money. And a reunion tour would make a ton of it. That seems more realistic. 

A reunion is realistic?

...

  But he's been looking very seriously at what he's doing in that regard for what...a year?  Year plus? 

Nothing new (these long deadtimes) here sadly. I think they just almost toured like 3 years straight. He is probably on vacation.


07: Gnr plays their last show (for a while) July 2st in Osaka.
08: CD was released in 08.
09: Gnr starts a tour in December.


2 years plus

Lets hope this vacation isn't so long as 2002-2006 dead-era.

Fuck that noise.  I don't believe.  It's not going to happen.  Let there be no confusion where I stand.

Reunion now! <<< ramboface

lol

[D-GenerationX]

A reunion is realistic?

Oh, hell no.  Still an incredible longshot.

But what's a new album from post-2000 members?  Probable??

The gist I am getting is that just about all of us here would be just fine with such an album.  But if its never going to happen, and its just another tour playing old songs, people would rather Slash and Duff than whoever the hell else.

Getting back to your point, we can want it all we like, but its still probably not realistic.  But for the first time in 20 years, its at least the slightest bit plausible.

2015: Interviews & Quit BBFT/ASHBA
2016: New Members, World Tour & New Album

Not Exist Dead Time

Oh, hell yeah, he had me hook line & sinker with that interview.  I even forgave the 8 months of silence that followed when he tweeted a pic from the studio last December.  That was 10 months ago now, and since then, we've gotten confirmation that 3 bandmates have walked.  Now?  It's a nice thought.  14 new GNR tracks.  A million dollars.  A foursome with Rihanna, Pink & Jennifer Lopez.  So very nice to think about. Nahgunnahappen.

Who do I think will replace DJ and BBF? No idea.

Who do I want to replace them? Only need one - Buckethead. Bucket and Fortus would be all that's needed. Remember Bucket just standing around for half the show back in '01 and '02? The guy's talent was sadly wasted, in my opinion. He can play anything. And, it's hard to take your eyes off of him. Give him anything he wants to come back. Let him re-record the next record's leads played by band members that have left. He could do it in a day, if his production from the last two years is any indication (exaggeration, obviously). Hell, he may have already recorded leads on most of those songs already...

And, since Tommy appears to be out, bring back Duff if he wants to return. That would put guitars in the hands of 3 completely mesmerizing performers, and I think Axl would enjoy the hell out of it. I'd fly around the world to see that show.

Option B: Slash. And this is a pretty damn great option B.

And this, I think, sums up the current situation perfectly.  I got onboard with the new incarnation of GNR in 2001, and embraced the new members, under the premise that these were the men who were going to carry on the banner for Guns N' Roses, and who would be the ones regularly pumping out new GNR music, once Chinese Democracy finally dropped. 14 years later...We have one album to show, with much of that lineup who play on it being a distant memories.  Hell, Robin's "replacement" just quit, with Bucket's "replacement" leaving a year earlier, if that's an indicator of where we're at in the second half of 2015.  We don't need more paid soldiers playing Jungle & SCOM.  We just....don't need it....

Point being, if you can't/wont/whatever put out new music, for the love of God, just bring back Slash, Duff & Izzy and let's be done with it.

I just can't see how the plan would be to hire a couple more C-List guitar prodigies and continue to tour as "Guns N' Roses". I can't see it. Bringing Robin & (less likely) Bucket back, I could understand.  They wrote and played on the music.  But other than them, there is no option as far as I can see but to do a reunion with Slash & Izzy, possibly with Richard backing them up.  The word "circus" is used a lot to describe out of control rock acts, but bringing in two more unknowns to be "Guns N' Roses" would be exactly that.  And would kind of be insulting, in my opinion.

I have said a few times over the past few months, that a new lineup, particularly without a record release would be very disappointing to me.

But , I am a sucker ...if that is what happens.. and I can make it out to see Axl perform... he will still get my 100 dollars.

I'm a Chicagoan, and have seen them every time they've come here starting in 2002.  I even flew to Canada in 2010 to see them when a States tour seemed up in the air. But, if they bring in Chuck Thompson and Patty Flannigan (don't look up the names, they're fake) to be lead guitarists for what we're supposed to view as "Guns N' Roses", this will likely be the first time I will pass on going to a show.  If no new album in produced, doubly so. 

[GNRBABY]

I would like to see Robin Fink come back for sure. Other than Robin, I wouldn't mind if we where introduced to a new talent.

It would certainly soften the blow, as Robin & Richard together were tremendous.

...And I wan't to hear Robin do This I Love live.

actually lots of random people learned about him through GNR.

u are actually right.
Buckethead on average has 2 times more searches than Chinese Democracy

Why would a person and an album be a reasonable comparison? I could see checking Buckethead vs. Guns N' Roses, or Buckethead vs. Slash...
