A party including Axl Rose, Merck Mercuriadis and Izzy Stradlin had dinner together at Pre:Post in New York on 11th April to celebrate Izzy's birthday.

During the meal, Izzy had 'Happy Birthday' sung to him by a staff member.

i think thats it

great, Izzy's back....now they have 3 rhythm guitarists...listen to the end of paradise city on the MTV thing when Finck and Bucket are going one on one...Bucket CARRIES Finck thru that...they need a guy that bomb that shit out, not another rhythm player....ergo, if Izzy's in...seems there'd be someone else...

[nesquick]

Izzy on rythm
Fortus & Finck on Lead.
Sounds gooooooooood to me?

However, I think it would just be for some appearitions, izzy as a special guest on 1 or 2 songs, not as a permanent member. I don't think he is the 3rd guitar player because i think there won't be a new one.

[BLS-Pride]

I'd replace one of them with Izzy if the 3 guitarist s is a no go.

Thats really great news if it is indeed factual.

Axl seems to be in a really calm and peaceful state of mind from all the pictures we've seen from '06 so far, so I could only imagine what dinner would have been like for the two, after who knows how long of not seeing eachother in person.

They grew up together in Indiana, so there brothers really, and when a brother possibly needs a third guitarist....he knows he can always count on his bro'

[Poof!]

Sometimes a steak is just a steak.

That is true. Lets hope it was a good one. Maybe we are all buying into this a little too much.

Interesting, Matt Sorum was hanging with Axl in NYC around this same time.

Okay, here is my 2 cents on the situtation:

Since this chick can't even spell Axl Rose correctly, (she spells it Axel)

I bet WHO she thought was IZZY was really RICHARD FORTUS.

The two look similar and Axl even has said in statements that Richard is like Izzy.

Richard was in LA rehearsing with the band at that time though.

It'd be cool if Izzy made a guest appearance for Patience during a New York show, but that's about all I can envision him being involved with this. Nice to see him out & about though.

And also, Fortus' birthday is in November...

She sang Happy Birthday to him....... last time i checked you needed a name to do that properly.  Izzy is quite a unique guys name, i dont think she would have forgotten it!

Yes, Richards bday is Nov. 17th, so it would be pretty strange for them to be celebrating it in April. Izzy's bday is April 8th, so it makes a bit more sense for him to get the happy birthday song.

My gut tells me Axl and Izzy have been writing or sharing ideas for an upcoming album, which would most likely be released in 2007 or 2008 when a full blown reunion seems likely. ?In fact, the way Tommy seems to be gearing up for a reunion with the Mats, I wonder if the European tour is it for the current line-up! ?They all make a shitload of cash, and get to play to huge crowds, and then return in the fall to their other projects, and reap the rewards of the CD sales. ?Maybe it's just me, but I would speculate that CC/Live Nation would not book GNR in the U.S. unless it was the original band, or smaller venues. ?My gut tells me, with everyone from the old band making up, that a fall/winter arena tour with the original band, and maybe a 2007 summer stadium tour could be in the plans. ?We'll see!! ?Note, I am purely speculating, and have no information corroborating anything mentioned above, except the firsthand accounts acknowledging the healing process has begun from the 1995 fallout.

And yet...........she fucks up the spelling of Axl to Axel?

I question when anyone says they met Axl and spell it Axel.  Who doesn't know who Axl Rose is and people know how to spell his name.

[Minneapolisnewsman]

That is pretty common.

[dolphin]

That is pretty common.

Maybe if you are european as that is how Axel is then spelled.
