All the reunion rumors / theories / discussions in this thread

[Axlfreek]

its interesting to think that after axl roses latest official statement concerning slash, duff, etc. weiland was the only one who responded to the statement. slash never released anything about it nor did anybody els with the exception of duff i geuss but that wasn't? a statement, more like an answer to a question in an interview. but never the less slash never denied aything axl said in his statement. now when matt randomly see's axl he greets himself and acts all buddy buddy with him. if the stuff axl said in his statement was false i think matt would have held a grudge and ignored him.

Maybe that's one of the things they discussed, Matt did say they cleared some things up.

But as for this rumour, smells like bullshit to me. And I don't trust Metal Sludge either.

Alright, so we know Fortus said they're rehearsing right now, but yet he's the only new member to announce the tour dates on his site. Now, if the reunion stuff is true (which its probably not), did anyone think that maybe Fortus is hanging around because Izzy and Gilby don't want to/can't do it? Izzy doesn't want to tour or be in the public eye anymore, and Gilby is busy doing the Supernova/Rockstar 2 thing, so I'm sure he has an iron clad contract and can't do anything else. Fortus may simply be the rhythm guitarist in a reunited GN'R. (Again, if its true - and while its prob. not, there are some signs that CANNOT be ignored.)

My thought about the reunion rumours is that:

1) Jarmo should set up a 'sticky' thread for people to post their reunion wet dreams in

or

2) Jarmo should set up an entire reunion sub-forum as every second post is about that boring topic.

I managed to miss the fact that Guns are doing warm up gigs in a swanky hall in a months time. That is bound to be the place where a single video shoot is done. Things like that are important, the fact that Slash and Axl theoretically could one day not hate each other isn't.

you know, there are forums out there that sensor words band names like slipknot and coldplay as if they were curse words. i would like to see a similar implementation here with reference to 'reunion'.

Reunion had been denied 1,00o times

[Eric]

There were a lot of things said, a lot of bitter things, money lost, friendships ended-like when you fight with your friends, you say things that might not be true, and this is a multi-million dollar band we are talking about-I'm a big Van Halen fan, you should see that he said/she said mess over the years-it happens when any band breaks up

[sic.]

Alright, so we know Fortus said they're rehearsing right now, but yet he's the only new member to announce the tour dates on his site.

Even if I'd play along with the idea for argument's sake, Tommy might still be around because he hasn't even updated his site on the Soul Asylum gig in Philly, which he's doing today. So his website doesn't prove him either way. Robin doesn't have a tour section on his site. Brain doesn't even have a website.

tommy said yesterday in the radio show that he was in GNR

[sic.]

No-one questions his involvement (well, other than those pesky nay-sayers, who tend to know it all).

That's actually a nice idea?

[Smoking Guns]

Tommy sounded like the biggest pussy on that radio show yesterday.  He was very shady when asked about GNR.  Said he was in, then paused and said, "we'll see."  Something is very wrong in the GNR camp.  He did not want any GNR played either last night on the show.  Then, after he got off the show, the DJ played November Rain.  That was a "non" positive interview in regards to GNR.  He did say he was interested in getting back together with the Mats.  He seemed to talk about everything except GNR.

[Mandy.]

IF, however, there's a reunion, I would much rather see Adler playing than Sorum. But that's a whole new story.

Tommy says he'll update you guys as soon as he figures out his
schedule and gets things nailed down where he's gonna be and when, but
he's been very busy traveling and rehearsing with SA and GNR both, so
stay tuned.

I can't see that on Tommy's website. Did he posted on a mailling list or something?

[Smoking Guns]

Wow, they must do cyber rehearsals.  How can you have members all over the country rehearsing together?  Oh never mind, other then Axl and I guess Tommy, I am not so sure on Tommy, who else is in the band to rehearse?

[Continental Drift]

I don't think a full-blown reunion is imminent... but I do think Slash is very much in play.

Give Slash back all his leads on the old material (thank God).... give him Bucket's parts on the new material, but let him write and record his own shit in its place... give Robin a couple minor leads on the old stuff (e.g. 2nd Rocket Queen solo)... and let him play his own leads on the new material. Fortus is full-time rhythm guitar on all material (a la Izzy and Gilby). It's not crazy... that's what the band was trying out 10 years ago with Slash, Zach Wylde and Paul Huge... if Slash has finally warmed up to the idea and he would rather be playing some serious rock n' roll than whatever the fuck VR is talking about... and if Axl/GN'R can throw him a ton of $$$$.... it matches up.

Basically, Slash fills a need. Not to be harsh... but the other ex-Gunners don't... so they're out in the cold...

Maybe if Stinson or Brain flakes out... then McKagan and/or Sorum would probably get a call... but I think Axl will roll with the new guys as long as they're reporting for duty.

Yeah, the Tommy Stinson board on Yahoo Groups.

Pandora posted the same thing in here: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=28449.0

But I guess a lot of people ignored it and kept going on and on about the reunion instead.

Fortus seems to be for sure, and most likely robin finck also

[JB9988]

i hope there is never a reunion. The new band kicks ass!
