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

[jarmo]

It's not so much about creating a name for yourself in real life, but there's definitely quite a lot of people who seek some sort of confirmation from like minded, and then they feed off each other.

Correct. It's not "crazy talk".
No matter what some will try to make us believe.

Some are simply fueled by this need for attention.


But it does make you wonder, if you're inclined to constantly post faults with a band, is that also true to other things in your life?

But that's where I think you tend to go to the other extreme.  I don't think anyone here "constantly post faults" with the band?  Do some people here post about faults more often than you would like?  Absolutely...but even the most negative Karma point award winners have had positive things to say about the current lineup.

But then, when they do post positive things, it's usually met with a "you're just saying that so you can then spew more negativity" so then they go back to being negative, which is usually met with "why don't you be more positive."  And the vicious cycle continues...

Yeah, that's a real kick in the ass.  How do you combat that?

So we've heard from almost everyone.  Slash says never say never, Duff agrees with him.

So does Gilby Clarke:

And Steven Adler is more than on board:

If they ever actually decided to do this, how do you think they figure out who breaks the news to Steven he's out?

Draw straws?  Rock-Paper-Scissors?

They've already worked that out.


STEVEN ADLER: MATT SORUM Wouldn't Take Part In GUNS N' ROSES Reunion Unless I Was Involved

During an appearance on the March 2 edition of Eddie Trunk's SiriusXM satellite radio show, "Eddie Trunk Live", original GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler was about how he would feel about a hypothetical reunion of the classic GN'R lineup which would include Matt Sorum on drums instead of him.

"Matt wouldn't do it," Adler insisted. "I see Matt practically every Monday night, and we talked about it. He wouldn't do it unless I was a part of it. And I said, 'Well, dude, I would do it without you.' And he said, 'But you're the original guy. You're the sound of GN'R. I'm not. So it's different.' And I said, 'If I did it, if Axl [Rose, vocals] wanted to play the '[Use Your] Illusion' songs, I would have you right next to me. You come up and I'll either take the throne or sit where I sit.'? Sort of like [the way we did it] at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame [induction in 2012]. They didn't show that part on TV, I don't think, but [Matt] played 'Brownstone', and then I came up and played 'Sweet Child' and 'Paradise City'."

Oh, man.  Poor Steven.

So na?ve.

Look at a poster like mortismurphy.

Oh, man.  Poor Steven.

I hope Steven is allowed in on the fun if this ever happens ... Even if he only plays a couple songs per show ....


I would seriously fear for his well being if they shut him out.

He's really in his own league.

You wouldn't have similar fears if they included him?

I can't think of a worse scenario that putting some money in his pocket and taking him out on the road.

I would think it only a matter of time.

[JAEBALL]

It wouldn't be high on my list of concerns ... If he fucks up Matt is there anyway.

Honestly, I think Matt is the better drummer anyway.  95% of my call would be based on that.

But, yeah, the other 5% would be that I think he relapses in a big way.

[LongGoneDay]

If it were to happen, should be all or nothing.
Anything less than Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, Steven would be a sham.
I?d be more than fine with Matt tagging along as well, but if Steven is still breathing, not including him would be cruel.

I'm with you ... I'd like to see the five , but I still want to see matt and dizzy do their thing.

Can Steven even play the UYI songs?  I'm not being flippant, this is a serious question.

If there were to be a reunion tour, I would want the UYI material in there too.  Not just AFD with YCBM and 'Patience' sprinkled in.

Yeah, ideally the classic 5 would play AFD, Lies material. Swap Sorum for Adler, add Dizzy into the mix for the Illusion stuff.
Maybe a Gilby appearance for some TSI stuff, or Wild Horses jam..

I would think yes, as he demoed the majority of them. Probably had a hand in the majority of their existence.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to catch Sorum playing YCBM again. Just think it would be beyond a dick move to have a reunion w/o Adler.

To be honest, I think they've waited too long, it's too late. But, if it were to happen, gotta be all in. No room or reason to half ass it.

AJjaJAJajJA, amazing topic,,, fantasy For some ExMembers

I think it's high risk either way with Steven.

If he's not included, that's basically his dream coming through with him standing on the sideline watching. I fear that could send him further into the darkness than he's ever been before.

If he's included, and he spins out of control and they have to let him go ? again... that's a nightmare he'll have to live all over. That's a liability risk for the rest of the guys as well as they are all clean now and they would handle such a situation much better than last time. Such a situation would consume a lot of their time.
