but so would so fine be;)

[JDA]

Very cool, wish I could go.

[Trist805]

I hope we get some awesome quality youtube videos, if Duff plays with GNR for some songs...just for those that can't make it.

Obviously there would have to be a set-list order change of sorts, because I doubt if Duff came out to jam a Guns tune that he would come out early......but if they could shake things up a bit and push ISE back until later in the show, that would have to be the ideal song for him.

Would be pretty cool to give Gn'r fans a proper intro for the Duffster as well -

[The Prez]

I Believe Play SO FINE

 

That would be cool... and Axl jumping in 

[rendestroi95]

Attitude!! haha

This is kinda funny... duff opening for his own ex band 

[Galileo]

I think, Bumblefoot  could be playing one or two songs with Loaded

Why? 

[AxlReznor]

He's played with them before.

I really want them to have Tommy play a song with them. Duff, Jeff Rouse and Tommy Stinson on-stage together would be fucking awesome! (Jeff Rouse was part of Tommy's backing band during the 'Village Gorilla Head' tour).

I think it's awesome that Duff and Axl have both let enough stuff from the past go to allow something like this to happen.

[One.In.A.Million]

This is something that would have never of happened back in 2002, or even 2006/07. It shows a distinctive change in Axl's attitude towards certain former members of the band, Axl is far more accomadating towards his old bandmates than 10 years ago.

Can time heal old wounds?, it certainly seems like so...

I for one never thought in a million years that Duffs band would open for Guns N' Roses, considering Axls' comments towards him at Rio 2001, and throughout 2002. Who knows what this may lead to.........and before anyone slams me down for that comment, I'm saying it in the sense that anything could happen now, no one on this board can forsee the future, so don't bother posting any smart ass comment.

I for one never seen this coming myself, and I've always liked Duff.

@One.In.A.Million, he talked about Duff in the Del James/Axl-interview from beginning 2009:

--------------------------------------------
Would you consider a reunion with the ?Appetite? or ?Illusions? lineups?

No

Why not?

"[...]It?d be highly doubtful for us to have more than one of the alumni up with us at any given time. I suppose Duff could play guitar on something somewhere [...]."
--------------------------------------------
so just like "Estranged" and "Civil War" adding to the live-sets 2011 (he talked about that 12/2008), he also had in mind doing something with Duff again.

Yes, but that's already happened, I was there and it rocked. Duff played guitar on some tracks at the second 02 london show. But Duff's band opening for the current Guns N' Roses is a step beyond that, and is something not discussed in that interview.

Axl also seems alot more open regarding talking about former members, where before the interviewer was scared to even ask him. We saw the story about Axl joking about Slash getting drunk, and more recently Axl seems far more open regarding GN'R's induction into the R&R hall of fame. Where as before I doubt he would have even bothered talking about it at all, let alone tweeting about it being a "victory for the fans".

I'm just saying that recently Axl has opened up a whole lot, regarding his old bandmates than say the Axl of 2002 would have...

[Limulus]

i agree!
Axl seems to get over his bitterness more and more, which is positive on many levels 

[w.axl.rose]

i hope he can still show up at the LA show and perform with the band

[LordRazZ]

It sounds like he plans on being there himself. But beyond that, give 'em hell tomorrow Duff....You'll always be a Gunner to us. And I am in no way biased towards Mr. McKagan in any way shape or form...even though I may or may not have a cat named Duff.

Granted, the other one is named Tommy....but still...   

In all seriousness though, have you noticed, through all the mudslinging over the years, people love Axl, people hate Axl....they love Slash...they hate Slash...

But Duff? Everybody loves Duff....he's....well....Duff....
