Guns N? Roses Anniversary Show Update: Izzy Stradlin Is a Maybe

[Ines_rocks!]

The latest news on Saturday?s 20th anniversary celebration for Guns N? Roses? Appetite for Destruction (a landmark Rolling Stone will celebrate on our next cover) comes from former GN?R guitarist Izzy Stradlin. Via his fan site, Stradlin says, ?Steven [Adler] is playing Key Club this Saturday ? I may drop by and say hello.? That brings the current RSVP list to two confirmed performances (Adler with Adler?s Appetite and Tracii Guns with L.A. Guns), three maybes (Stradlin, Slash and Duff McKagan, though Adler has  stated those three are definitely coming by) and one presumed nope (Axl Rose). Adler ? who partied at L.A. hotspot Hyde Monday night to celebrate Slash?s birthday ? however, remains confident a full reunion is in the cards: ?Axl and I spoke to each other in Las Vegas recently, and I know there?s a chance,? he said. ?It?s just too big. Whatever the Stones make when they play, we?d triple it. It?d be ridiculous not to do it. He can?t be that goofy.?

This should be on ''ex-gunners''.

None of these guys are in Guns N' Roses.

And the title is very misleading. If this show occurs, fine, but that will not be Guns N' Roses.

[IFINGLOVEGNR]

It'll be 4 times more "Guns N' Roses" than the current GNR

[pablognfr]

that?s GN?R
what do you think is GN?R, a band playin karaoke???

Its certainly not adler and his gnr tribute band. GNR is Axl, Robin, Richard, Tommy, Brain, Dizzy, Frank, Chris, and Ron. If you can't accept that then maybe you are on the wrong site 

[CheapJon]

i think slash and duff also are maybes

Shut up, Steven.

[Badapple89]

that's something they all deserve to themselves, even for one night, few hours, please, that doesn't mean anything, tHey can go back to their bands the next day... come on it's AFD.

[Darkburst]

Word on the street here is Slash, Duff and yes Gilby will definitely be there. Izzy is a maybe at this point. All I know is I'm going to be there having a good time regardless of who shows up.

As far as I've heard, the show is sold out.  I'm starting to see people begging for tickets, on other sites.

 ? I've seen this said, so many times in the last couple days.? I've avoided responding to it, but I've seen it one too many times, and so you get it.? Despite all the arguments that exist over this show as to who is what and what is what, this is still a significant show...like it or not.? I, for one, don't view it as a "reunion", but just the guys who made AFD getting together, which is pretty awesome.? People are right - you can't have a reunion of a band that still exists.? ?

However, I'm gonna' say it - that line up that's mentioned over & over - a year or so ago, it was different, and - next year, at this time, there will be a different line up.? So who is GnR, anymore?? ? Except for one person - it changes all the time!? Changes have gone on, since 1989 or 90.? That's GnR.? So that's why we all belong here.? I'm sure everyone has their own dream of the ideal GnR lineup, whatever that may be.....

PLEASE TAKE PICS!!!!!! Everyone take pics at your anniversary party and we'll all post them!

[DunkinDave]

It'd be cool if Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven play together.

But I'm sick of Steven thinking that he'd be involved in a GnR reunion (you know what I mean- the old band). As far as I'm concerned, if the old band does reunite, I'd want to see Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Matt.
Steven was fired because he couldn't handle the Illusion stuff. I'd want to see the old band play Appitite stuff, of course, but also classics from the Illusions. Matt can do that. Steven can't.

Perfect solution - If there would ever be a reunion, have Matt play the Illusion songs and adler play the AFD songs, that would work and everyone would be happy

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Ofcourse it will be GNR, dont be a pet. Everyone at that club will say "I saw GNR minus Axl", thats it.
