Irving Azoff Comments On Guns N Roses

[*Timothy*]

For everyone say the old line up will never get back together...I would just say never say never.

But right now I want the Cd Line up all that they have to offer ie tours and future albums.

[Jim Bob]

First, no bashing the old band. Last I checked they were Far from washed up *double Platinum, 2 hit singles, grammy* I'm sure there are thousands of artists who wishes they could be washed up like that.

right... but you bashing the guys who are actually in the band now is no big deal.   

3rd: What's so bad about a reunion anyway? I mean, what did any of them really do that is so unforgivable and bad?

what did any of the current members do that is so unforgivable and bad?   They are actually in the band right now and didn't do anything to disgrace their place in the band.

[Gunzen]

this is the best news i have read in weeks!  it is on the official site, and that makes it even better.  I give Axl credit for not taking the money and running (reunion) after all these years.  He had a vision , CD, and stuck to it and finished it.  and in my opinion most fans of this band are better for it.

I just cannot see the old lineup coming up with a CD as good as CD.  But hey, lets move on and hope for a tour.

Made my fucking day!

[D]

I agree. I am totally against anything for a "Cash Grab"

I don't think there will ever be a reunion and that is fine.

I am simply stating, was there really, looking back on it, that much bad blood?  I think most of the problem stemmed from the drugs and alcohol.

Well guess what? They don't drink or do drugs anymore so the lines of communication would be way better than before


I don't want Axl to throw the new guys overboard but who is even in the band anymore?

Realistically if Tommy quit, why not?

U could team Richard as a touring guitarist with Slash if Izzy didn't want to take it full time, Duff back on Bass, let Frank or whoever drum *Fuck matt sorum* and u could keep Pittman and Dizzy.



I just don't want this to be like some bands at the R and R hall of fame where some guys don't show or this or that happens.  Reunite for at least 2 songs, except your amazing well deserved honor and then move on.

What, Robin? A Dude who keeps leaving Axl and then coming back when its convenient for his wallet?

yeah u are right, but I don't think I've ever bashed anybody else.

[jarmo]

I wish you had the same support for GN'R that you have for Jon.....

[younggunner]

There is only one GNR reunion I would like to see at this point in time..this certainly isnt the one

Now if we can get some real news up on that site we would be getting somewhere

[The Catcher]

If GNR reunited. I think it should be for like 5 dates. or just once on a live broadcast.

OMFG yes washed up 80s rehash over fresh and current music anyday duuuuude!!!! By the way do you have some coke so I can OD and fill my veins with Jack Daniels

[D]

I have the same support for Axl as I do for Jon.

Have I ever said anything remotely negative about Axl?

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Sounds like fun to me  

Seriously though, I'm looking forward to the next two albums in the trilogy and seeing the new lineup tour again.  Maybe we'll even get my dream come true "new" lineup of Bucket, Ronald and Richard

Is this what Robin told you?  How the fuck do you know this to be true, and how can you base your opinion on a "guess".  For all you know Robin felt like helping a buddy?  You have never helped someone out and had a good time doing it?

These stupid ass posts based on nothing is exactly what is wrong with forums these days.

D, we pretty much agree on a lot of stuff on here but I have to disagree with you about Robins motives. Was it a dick move that he bolted? Perhaps. But not for 1 second do I think it was because of money. One day he will explain why he left.

I personally think he left because CD still didnt have a release date nor could it be promised that it would have one for 08. So he said, enough is enough.

A person I spoke to said it was an "extremely complicated" situation.

that would make more sense han it being strictly about cash

[D]

Well, YG with Robin, If he did it once, fine

The dude has done this twice now and he had to know that CD was actually coming out this year. So yeah, when people seem or appear to be disloyal to Axl, I don't really support them especially when I wasn't a fan of their style all that much to begin with.

I do support Ron who I think plays great, Tommy seems really cool Minus his statement but Im sure that was out of frustration, I started a thread 3 years or so ago saying how Chris Pitman would be the MVP of CD when everyone else was hating on the guy.

So just because I don't really like the style of one member doesn't mean I don't support them.

Just because I don't agree with certain promotional things doesn't mean I don't support them either.

[Gunzen]

just dont know why you would assume anything without knowing it? But that is what happens on forums.  In real life, people dont just make up shit in the middle of conversations to justify their point do they?  If they do, I am sure they are caled on it.

I mean, your point about Robin is feckless cause you have NO FUCKING IDEA.  You might be right, but to assume Robin was upset, or unhappy about anything without knowing it is just pointless and spreads BS.

Azoff just posted a statement in what I feel is a direct response to negative posts based on nothing.  If I was MYGNR I would be embarrased, especially the mod who started the rumor, cause that statement was directly in response to that type of irresponsible bullshit, hell it might have been to that 112 page thread of bantha fodder in peticular.

I just dont see the point in being negative without any proof.

When I went to the shows they all seemed to get along.  From where I was sitting Axl shadowboxed Robin right before the show started behind the amps by the guitar rack.  So to me, they were fine.  That is all i can go by, I just cant muster up the angst to make up negative shit to prove a point.

This statement by Azoff was a direct respone to this kind of crap.

[estebanf]

sorry for being rude, but just some retarded bunch of fanatics can believe Axl is gonna destroy this band, a truly all-star team that just released an incredible album, that does much better and intense live shows, to reunite with the AFD lineup. Who can want to have a drum-master like brain out to be replaced by ...emmmh... steven adler? Why some people want to see Axl with ... velvet revolver minus Weiland?

I cant say ''thank God the reunion rumours are bullshit'' simply because I've never believed them, not for a second.

This is without any doubts the best Guns N' Roses that have ever exist. Why would Axl ruin it all? Senseless.

By the way... is any of you enough stupid to believe Axl will reunite with the pair of guys that tried to bury GN'R in a judicial stand?

The only reunion I want is Guns N' Roses with Robin.

Future is ours. Dont look backwards.

[Dot]

bad news for some...although I really like the new band. Anyway, it has happened lots of times in the music industry that a rumour spreads and then it?s officialy denied, and then the rumour turns out to be true.  For example: back in 1999(?) there was a rumour regarding the Smashing Pumpkins?breakup, they denied it, and then guess what happened?

[The Catcher]

Tommy seems really cool Minus his statement

What statement?

[jarmo]

Tommy seems really cool Minus his statement

What statement?

When he told D to get on board or fuck off?
