Maybe A Full Out Reunion Won't Happen For A While But...

[Tomorrows]

Or we can enjoy this KICK ASS band that everyone here LOVES!     

Right On  fuck a reunion... fuck a reunion

Agreed. It would be nice if all the members came to a peace about their experience in the original GnR, but honestly - the band is fucking awesome at the moment!

NO! nor am i interested in seeing it...its the one thing that would make me not a gn'r fan!

[chineseblues]

It's a full reunion or no reunion. I'm pretty sure Slash doesn't want to make a guest appearance in his own band.

Gee thats weird, the last time I check there was no guy named slash in gnr now. So how is it his band?

... comment's like this make me think you are not a GNR fan.

A GNR reunion > anything else.

[green]

Yeah guys please stop this REUNION bullshit.....I just want CHINESE DEMOCRACY by this new kickass lineup.....

THANK YOU

[Tomorrows]

What would be so great about a reunion anyway?

The original line up made some good albums, but they were dysfunctional as people and probably better off where they are now (except for poor Adler lol). Far as Im concerned, the new line-up is the future and its better than the original.

Why - the members all seem happier apart. I think theres a lot of old wounds that won't heal with the original members and pressuring them into a reunion wont be a nice experience for anyone.

[Steel_Angel]

i'd like to see a reunion happen... around 2012

[jimmythegent]

Why?

Because they were one of the greatest bands of all time

Axls new band is great and all, but we're talking about a magic that has only been created very rarely in rock n rolls history

Yeah but there are the "new" fans now.

You know - the ones to whom Slash, Izzy, Steven and Duff mean nothing. ?

Hell... I love this new band but we shouldn't forget who Guns N' Roses really are.

Thats what I think. GnR mean a lot to me - AFD was the first rock album I ever listened to back when I was 5. I remember crying when Slash left.

But seriously, whats a bunch of old men getting together and jaming 25 year old tunes going to prove? Weve got plenty of concert and album recordings that speak for themselves.

You know, people on this board flip flop more than John Kerry,
"I hate Slash this new band is 110 times better"
Izzy shows up
"I hope they have a reunion and rock the house again."

 ?IT IS OVER! ? Slash and Axl will never play again. ?Perhaps you need to find the interview with Matt Sorum from last week. ?Slash will not play with Axl again. ?

 ?IF you all love this new band so much why are you PRAYING for a reunion?

I think this new band is great, would I like a reunion, of course, but I know it won't happen, and after seeing them on the 17th, the attitude, the swager, the energy....it was Guns N' Roses.
in '02 it was a cover band, ?on the 17th..the owned those songs and they rocked the fucking house...

Just because Izzy shows up means NOTHING.......

my point:
LOVE THE NEW BAND and stop bitching about reunion.

you all know for a fact that Axl and the rest of the band read these message boards,
All they hear after four amazing fucking shows is
"WOW IZZY, SLASH MAY NOT BE FAR BEHIND."

[bazgnr]

I think the Hammerstein shows more than validated the current lineup of GnR.  Now that we've seen what these Guns are capable of, I honestly -and somewhat surprisingly - have no interest in a reunion.  Tommy, Dizzy, Robin, Axl, Chris, Brain, Richard, and Bumble have officially stepped out from the shadow of the old band, and there's no going back, nor should there be.  I want GnR to move into the future, and these are the guys to make that happen.

[da_pope]

Oh yes... the "just saw them live" effect.
Notice how for the few weeks after you see a band in concert they're far and away superior to all things on earth?

Let the hype of Axl playing die down and you'll all want the old band back.

[Timothy]

Or we can enjoy this KICK ASS band that everyone here LOVES!     

agreed.



Izzy joining the new band for a few songs. was cool but lets see what this version has up it's sleave as far as albums .



After words then maybe a reunion would be cool.

[metallex78]

I'd love to see a reunion as much as anyone, but isn't inviting ex-members up on stage at these gigs, kind of a disss to the new guys there that REPLACED them?

I think it's silly for Slash to get up with the new band when there's already 3 guitarists up there.

If there's gonna be a reunion, I'd prefer it without the new line-up on stage mixing with them.

[crazyfool]

I think it's great that so many have embraced the new band like they have and that the NY shows were so successful.  I saw two of them (not the 17th  ) and enjoyed every minute of it.  Was totally impressed with Robin and even Ron - even though he's a bit of an odd choice.  Well I guess after BH, thats pretty much par for the course. 

I understand these are the current members and they have spent alot time writing and recording this music.  I've even thought that it will be so weird to think about reunions after CD comes out.  Even if they decide to get back together a few years from now, would they play any new stuff?  how would that work?  But thats just me.  I think about these things. 

however, i do think that the strong supporters of the new band who speak out against old members, or even those who bitch at other fans for talking about a reunion, just need to deal with it.  I'm not saying that to be a dick.  I mean, I used to sit in high school and draw pictures in my notebook of GNR performing on a stage.  I would draw Duff's bass rig and Matt's kit, and to the best of my feeble artistic ablilities would pencil Axl, Slash, Duff and Izzy in various parts of the stage...always trying to make them look as cool as possible...ya know, cig hanging out of Slash;s mouth, etc.  Anyway, this turned into a tangent, but my point is that they were the coolest band in the world.  and it had every bit to do with the music as it did with the fact you were dealing a bunch of f'ing characters.  The guys names were AXL,SLASH,DUFF, IZZY, and DIZZY.  I mean you can't beat that.  They became larger than like really and in many ways caricatures of themselves.  Hell, I'm sure everyone on this board at some point had a some poster or Tshirt that had the band members depicted as skeltons or skulls...and even as skeltons you knew right away who the fuck everyone was! 

So I understand why all the reunion talk happens constantly.  It's not only bc Izzy came out last night.  Most GNR fans are ALWAYS talking about and hoping for a reunion.  At least all the ones I know do.  I'm not putting the new band down.  I think it's great that Axl managed to "save his life" these past 13 years and find musicians he could work with to get him to play for us again.  I hope CD comes out soon and that it's great.  But I also hope that at somepoint in my lifetime I see the original members put aside the differences play together again.  We all gotta keep in mind that we wouldn't be here on this board if those guys weren't already the best band in the world.  But they were, and now that axl is back and sounding phenomenal, some of us need to use this forum as a place to talk about how bittersweet it can feel at times...

[Sidemarx]

I think its definitely possible, in fact I'm predicting it.  I mean for Izzy to go on stage with Axl was a huge step that may have paved the way for a possible Slash/Matt reunion show.
