Slash says "never say never" over return to classic-era GN'R lineup

[Ow-So7411501]

No worries.

Altitude sickness isn't a joke....

That plus its dry air. Not really conducive for singing.

I thought it was cool that Duff saidhe liked playing Catcher

[JAEBALL]

Duff also said he still as time to get back to playing stadiums ... That leads me to believe that at some point it will happen.

[Spirit]

What do you guys think in regards to a reunited GN'R playing a worldwide stadium tour?

I think a first run can be done without any new music out, pretty easily. Not 100% sure about the US, but then again that's the country with most difficulty introducing the new line-up. So, a reunited GN'R would probably go over quite well. There's a question about the state of rock music in general though.

For a second run... not quite sure. I think they would have to have an album or a couple of singles out in order to fill stadiums. Arenas would probably be no problem without new music, stadiums in certain markets perhaps.

Yeah. He also mentioned the bass parts Tommy wrote are kinda similar to his style since they're both from similar backgrounds.

Makes sense.

Yeah, that's something I hadn't thought of before Duff mentioned that.. If Duff had still been in the band that recorded Chinese, the bass parts probably wouldn't be all that different than what Tommy recorded.

Plus... these songs are so old... that Duff might have even been involved with some of them... what was it 96 early 97 when Duff was still hanging around... he might have worked on Catcher originally.

I'm pretty sure they'd do the big city football stadiums in the US no problem the first go around, at least in the real big cities.. second time around would probably go back to the basketball arenas with or without new music.

If it ever happened... I could see them be like nahhhh to the big tour and just play a few shows in some small places just for fun like.

I think it would be huge worldwide ( including the US).

First run at least, what are your thoughts about a second run?

[D-GenerationX]

I don't think they would do stadiums because you can't do them everywhere.

You are probably better off doing arenas and 2 nights in cities where you can move the tickets.

Major cities and a release to pique the interest of the public. GNR will always be big in one form or another. They ( the originals) are one of those special bands.

Every time somebody says that .. it immediately gets moved ... so why say that?

Give jarmo a break... he's letting us talk about all of this... why look to start something?

Im not looking to start anything with Jarmo. Just really surprised this thread has been here so long. Pretty good conversations might I add.

[JAEBALL]

Because its not a dead horse. its relevant to what's being discussed about GNR by Duff and Slash.. and it's really the only GNR related stuff going on at the moment. So yea.. it's fun to talk about

But every time somebody posts im surprised this is still here... it immediately gets moved... so I dont think its a good thing to say.
