A Theory

[conny]

Not to get into a big debate about new v. old gnr, but no one can deny the fact that if Slash came out on stage as the replacement for Buckethead, the crowd would go absolutely insane. That would be the biggest thing to happen in music in a long time.

The biggest thing would be Slash to Axl's left and Buckethead to his right side. 

[Elrothiel]

No one would boo them off the stage. I would get so damn pissed off if you did you stupid fuckhead!

If the original members walked onstage and someone booed, I would kick that person square in the nuts!!! Because, the original members walkin' onstage together would be the most amazing thing to happen in all of musical history!!!!

Needless to say, if the new members walked onsteage and someone booed, I would kick that person square in the nuts JUST as hard, because the new band are just as amazing as the old band.

Not that I think they'll get booed because they SO won't! But its an excuse to dig out my DMs and shine em up real good!

[jimmythegent]

Theoretically, Slash could be filling in Buckethead's parts as we speak...




Theoretically.

that would be a near perfect scenario but highly unlikely

it would validate it as Guns to a lot of people and be taken a whole lot more seriously

Impossible, surely

[erose]

yeah that logo is strange... wonder if slash will just come out one stage at rir, totally unannounced!...

[jameslofton29]

note though that metallicas logo is made up from new and old parts of various logo's

Good observation, Saul. Now maybe it will end this speculation that AFD GNR is doing that festival.

[jameslofton29]

Both logos were likely used because the new logo would confuse people. Until Cd comes out with the new logo, it will continue to confuse people. That old GNR logo is recognized in all parts of the world.

[Nytunz]

but i wonder where they got the new GNR logo on there from.. The managment? ?
Anyway! Like the stoneletters

[Midnight Gunner]

I just had a theory though I doubt it means anything but hey, hear me out:

axl mends his relationships with the old Gunners...the old Gunners except it and they all start talking again. (And no, I do not include Psycho Steven in this group)?

Anyway, Axl decides he wants to reunite the old band and scraps his solo visions.? The companies get pissed about this and decide to leak the the new material on the net.

I say this cause if Ross said a few weeks or months back that the original GNR would play festivals this year, but his posts quickily vanishes off his site, and now rumors are/and confirmations are that GNR ARE INDEED playing these festivals that Ross and others said previously.....I dunno, to me, it's just a bullshit theory and I truly hope it is what I just said cause after hearing these new leaks, I couldn't care less about Axl reuniting with the old Guns anytime soon.

 *(And no, I do not include Psycho Steven in this group)*

I found that comment way out of order.

I'm sorry if I hurt you're waste of life, never ending addict's feelings. lol

[Midnight Gunner]

If I was there and saw the old members, I'd probably be a little disappointed.

I haven't waited thirteen years or so just to see the old Gunners reunite.

I say let Axl do his thing with his new Guns and let the rest of the old Guns continue to make shitty music that Nu-Metallica type fans like. lol

[Axl8302]

i dont buy it

[awhellzno05]

I would be disappointed to see the original band to be honest, I know that sounds crazy but I want to see Tommy instead of Duff, Brain instead of Sorum, etc.  Altough the new band + Slash or Izzy would be amazing!

[jbenzz]

I kinda agree with this.  I'd love to see guns, but I've been waiting 10 years to hear the new songs and I don't see any of the old band playing them.  I would love to see Izzy or Slash playing with the new band though...

[The Dog]

Wow, I'm surprised to hear people say this.  Not criticizing your opinion, but I wonder if your age plays a part into why you think that.  I believe you are 18 right?  So that would make you a baby when AFD came out (man I am old haha).  Again, no offense to your opinion, but I think if you were around for the magic that was the original line up you MIGHT be singing a different tune.  No band since GNR has ever been that huge and created music that STILL gets a reaction out of people.  I think given the history of the AFD Guns, people would just love to see them put all the crap behind them and reclaim their rightful place in rock history.

That being said, its never going to happen.  IF IF IF it did...I'd like to see the old guys come on at the end of a show, I have enough vids of the old band, I WANT TO HEAR CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!

Seriously, I hope you don't think I'm slamming you - not my intent at all.  And I don't think the fact you're younger makes you "less of a fan".  Rock on dude.

[jazjme]

kinda like when I saw GNR at pacific amhitheather, in 87 with Aerosmith, Axl and Slash joined Aerosmith on a few tunes at the end, train kept a rollin.............

Maybe you're right... I'm only 20 so I never got to see the old Guns N' Roses.  But do you really think that they'd go back to being the same band after all these years.  IF you could go back and have the exact band that was playing back then with Axl in his Kilt and all the rest, then yeah I'd go for it in a second.  But just as much, I want to see the new Guns' songs being played.

Seeing the old guns reform would be historic, but I'm not sure it would be as good a show as everyone remembers.  I'm just being realistic.

[axls#2]

axl's not reuniting with anyone soon.. I think one time he said he hadn't seen slash in ten years or something but had talked to or hung with Izzy?/ I forget really..

Imagine you go to the festival to see new guns and afd gnr is there, everyone will boo them off the stage

I doubt it.  When GN'R played Rio last time, alot of people didn't even know the new members.  Nobody got booed.  Same with the U.S tour.  In fact I am willing to bet that if the old lineup got back together, there would be quite an ovation welcoming them back.  Not saying that is what I personally would want to see happen, but I think if there was any booing by those wanting to see new gn'r would be drownded out by all of the fans that are happy to see the old lineup. 

[supaplex]

i think axl apearing with the old gnr at these shows would be a lack of respect twards the new band because they worked hard all this years to make this album happen and i think they deserve at least a tour in support of the album.
after that i think that axl could reunite with the old band. that would be the greatest moment in rock history. and i hope that they'll reunite cos i am only 21 and i haven't got the priviledge of seeing the original band playing live!

but for now let's hope we have a CD and a tour of the new band!
rock on

[jimmythegent]

not reading too much into the logo, but I like it and cant help wondering where it came from

[Mr. Nik™]

MY REQUEST TO THE WHOLE GUNNER COMMUNITY WORLDWIDE IS:

PLEASE, STOP THE "REUNION STORY" BULLSHIT

thanks

[ClintroN]

Slash performin'  at these shows would be an insult to the CHI-DEM line-up.....IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!

If anythin', down the track they had an ol' friend perform a song with these guys, i reckon it'd be Izzy, Axl's best friend
