Tommy Stinson: Duff McKagan Reuniting With Guns N' Roses to 'Help Axl Out'

[slash&axl]

Tommy is a true hero of GNR history, humble and appreciative.

So Fine, Attitude, and Raw Power on that setlist.

[draguns]

Kudos to both Duff and Tommy. Both are handling this well and class act!!!

[cotis]

going to be cool seeing if Duff gets a solo like Tommy has been.... some Attitude maybe?

[ITARocker]

It's good for Duff too. I hope this doesn't get carried away with full blown reunion rumors but it probably will.

I don't think so, almost nobody cares about a reunion nowadays. Maybe it could be a step forward just to have Slash shacking hands with axl one more time but I think old fans are just too old to encourage the media to start speculations about a reunion in a massive way . It would be cool if Laurel & Hardy could bury the hatchet, I think it would be enough for people out there, but sadly we all know it won't happen.

Tommy,,, only class, thanks The General by you support

Both Tommy and Duff are class acts. Kudos to them both.

Indeed yes and both mean bass players. good day to be a gnr fan.

Id say that Tommy was the perfect guy to replace Duff, and obviously Duff is the perfect guy to replace Tommy.

Its a beautifull thing.

I wouldn't expect to hear some of the songs from that setlist.

With all due respect, where the hell are you living?  "Almost nobody cares about a reunion nowadays"  Are you for real?

A reunion will always be far and away the most interesting thing that ever happens with this band.  That's not to shit on the current line-up, but its just the reality of the situation.  Nothing would generate more press.  Nothing would bring back more fans.  Nothing would sell better as a product.

I'm right with you that aliens will invade and colonize the planet before Axl agreed to it, but that's a separate conversation.  People would be very interested.

The fact that Jarmo has to censor this board as much as he does just goes to show that a reunion is still as popular as ever among fans.
Personally, I don't waste my time thinking about it.

LOL, I too would like to know where this factoid comes from.

Its just common sense, I think.

Think of it like one of those "choose your own adventure" books we read as kids, where you could turn to 2 different pages to pick up 2 different threads.

Your first option is "Chinese Democracy II is released".  The other is "Guns N' Roses announce a reunion tour".

Can anyone make a serious argument that these generate anywhere close to the same reaction?

This conversation is going to lead to another locked thread.....

This just shows duff doesn't hold a grudge and wants to have a good time...if they all could do that....

Duff was not happy Axl no showed the HOF...but he just doesn't care about the bitter shit anymore...can't wait to see some video of this

When did Duff say he wasn't happy with Axl over the HOF thing?

[overmatik]

I gotta tell you, watching the "Rose Brothers" singing So Fine on stage will be very emotional...

"I owe a favor to a friend
My friends, they always come through for me, yeah"

He didn't...just the impression I got..more disappointment he expressed they couldn't play

I'm sure they were all annoyed by it.

Yes, yes, despite the "overwhelming positive reaction" that was suggested occurred.

[slash&axl]

Does anyone think this reinforces the rumor from a few years back that they were trying to bring in Duff in as a replacement for Tommy when he was considering quitting the band?

I don't know.  I never really saw where Duff would be all that interested in it.  He has no real connection with any of these guys.
