Possible "Surprise"?

[MJRoses23]

Concerts on Monday and Wednesday...? Could CD be released on the Tuesday in between?? ? That would be sweet!?

HAHA that might be some of the most wishful thinking i have ever seen

[believeume]

What's with the surprise if it's not some of the original members? On Tommy Stinson's website, the guy who handles his message board said on Friday that Tommy will be updating soon but has been busy the past couple months rehearsing with both Soul Asylum and Guns N' Roses, so it looks like he is definitely in the band. It'll be a good time, but if Axl walks on stage at Hammerstein with Buckethead and the same old crew from that last abortion of a tour it will definitely be a bit of a letdown, because those few shows weren't very good, it's not fair I guess, but there is just no comparison when you've seen them in the 80's/90's, as much as some of you would like to believe. Still, the unknown is kind of exciting and everyone loves a car wreck.

i sort of agree, i dont think buckethead would be a surprise.  i would like to think a surprise would be first CD getting a definite release date, or an original rejoining th eband

[Oh My Choking Soul]

A really nice surprise would for Axl to finish this tour and a full American without any controversy.

Simple.

RIR Webdesigner #1: Hey who's in Guns N Roses now?
RIR Webdesigner #2: Not sure, it's a line-up of the new people.
RIR Webdesigner #1: Huh, how about "Surprise" lineup.
RIR Webdesigner #2: Sounds good.


And Oh My Choking Soul, I couldn't agree with you more.. I think a completed tour with no cancellations is good enough for this band.

Sorry, I've seen both bands. I don't want to reopen debates that are just about the oldest argument in the world, but the shows on the European 2002 tour were every bit as good, and in many ways better, than the UYI shows. There's no reason to have such a patronising attitude.

[Takemedown]

hogwash! how can replacement players be better than the real deal? i saw robert plant once...it wasn't led zeppelin.

the original crew is why we're all here to begin with. Man, i'd love to see them get back together but tain't gonna happen...

[GnR-NOW]

i like the new band, at this point in time i would rather not see a full reunion, but would like to see slash along with finck and fortus

Maybe he's the surprise.

[badapple81]

I doubt it. Too close to the gigs.. Axl would have finalised plans for the tour well before announcing it.

[VRslash]

i dotn ever say things that i dont think are true. i am a vary fleseble person when it comes to my thoughts about things. i think it is vary posible that it could be  slash. axl has been a fucking dick for 10 years, i think he has finaly come to grips with reality. people do get wisser as they age. but if its not then oh well. at least axl tried. no one can fit in to GNR cause no one has the attitude or look or style to play in slash's footsteps. its slash or bust to me. but if its not slash then i hope axl at least had some respect for the tittle and went out n found some guy thats amazing that no one has ever heard of. some one with some new tallent and can bring some cards to the table not some one to just fill in and play what axl says to play.

[GnR-NOW]

yea i sort of feel if the surprise isnt slash, then its not really a surprise.

[leesixxrose]

maybe he will not have any braids.. or hip hopper bee bop jerseys.. maybe thats the suprise..

Imagine how cool the opening notes of jungle hit and he runs out wearing the bike shorts and a catchers vest!!!!!!

or if he had the assless chaps or leather from the AFD cover...

i would cream my pants!!!

What a suprise that would be..... who knows!!

[Jaeball104]

lets just all be satisfied with the fact were actually gonna see Axl Rose again ( hopefully )ha

[Big Gun]

if its either Slash or Izzy back that would be a surprise other than that i dont care, but thats very unlikely.anyway in three weeks time everything will be clear...all we need is a little patience.

[GnR-NOW]

i have tix to the 15th, so id be suprised if he s ready to perform at back to back nights, i looked at the 02 schedule and they did alot of back to back shows, then came philly

[GunnerOne 84]

I am a long standing card holding member of the Slash isn't ever coming back club, but over the last few weeks, i've canceled my membership. something big is up at guitar, and i really think he's back. Just a hunch, but there has been a lot of smoke on this for a while now.

[leesixxrose]

he isnt ready for back to back nights if the lakers are playing... they are playing "the Suns" in the playoffs..  remember that he missed the phily show coz he didnt want to miss the lakers game.
