Well, you two didn't just confirm anything we talked about last night at all.

This is potentially a big day.  I'm sorry you have bugs up your ass about me, but today is not the day for it.

Move along.

One thing is strange about this to me...That's the fact that Richard & Frank seem all sorts of jazzed about whatever news is coming, whereas Tommy, the longest standing member out of the three, seems to have zero fucking clue what's going on and seems completely out of the loop....Unless he's a master bullshitter, of course...

I think he just has the misfortune of playing an instrument you only need one of, and the that instrument is also manned by a guy maybe coming back.

Hmm.  But wouldn't he have at least some clue that was the case?  Maybe he does and is just being intentionally vague in this interview, so not to be the one who spills the beans.

" SOLD OUT "


« Reply #44 on: September 02, 2015, 03:07:14 PM »



Now im convinced. GN'R is the most dangerous band in the world. I dont know what to belive about the future of GNR right now, other that it will be very interesting to see whats comming. And it seams that things are right around the corner now


If this pans out, its the most exciting thing to happen in the GNRverse in 20 years.

- Axl coming out of hibernation in 2001
- RIR III
- 2002 MTV Awards
- Axl re-emerging in 2006
- release of CD

All exciting at the time for their own reasons.  But all sharing one common denominator : its not the real band.

This would pass them all, standing still.


I hate to turn this discussion sideways...


Then don't.  Only you can prevent forest fires, and only you can control what you type.


Quote

On topic this doesn't really mean Tommy is gone. I'm almost positive Tommy has said something similar about the band way back around 04-05. I'm almost positive he gave an interview way back then that had a similar line about "if they get back together".  


Maybe, but these comments do at least circumstantially fit in with some things we know.

- Ron bounced
- DJ bounced
- Tommy seems out of the loop
- Not a speck of news about any work being done on some supposed new album
- No buzz among the industry any new album is coming (in terms of studio time, mixing process, etc.)

Only you can prevent yourself from posting dumbass remarks and statements  ok

As for the rest of the drivel you posted, Richard said work was being done. So how is that not news?

A mind is a terrible thing to waste  hihi

Richard also was very optimistic about 2016 in his recent interview  ok

And Frank ?

 ok

Oh, I misunderstood you.  You are saying that he perhaps knows but just isn't saying?  Maybe. 

Although, like I said earlier perhaps Axl asked everyone to keep this quiet for now.

Well, except Slash.  Haha.

Of course you ignore Richards comments and go on as if it wasn't said. Par for the course with you it seems.

Maybe Richard is just optimistic about the possibility of seeing the classic lineup share the same stage again.

To me it's pretty clear, Tommy's comments suggest GNR's already past him.

Yes, he has not mentioned he's out, but pretty much everything he said implies he's been out, especially this part " If they got [the modern lineup] together again and wanted me to play, of course I?d have to think about it". That implies the modern line-up is no longer together.

Could the band be on a break? I seriously doubt it now. Since Tommy's been in GNR there has been a few other breaks before and I've never - EVER - read anything that could suggest whatever current incarnation of the band THEN was not together anymore, now all recents events suggest otherwise; Ashba's letter, BBF out, tommy's interview... seems like the modern line-up as we know it, it's falling to pieces (no pun intended).

Does this mean the old line-up (or a combo) is in the works? Hopefully.

Its also maybe sort of awkward is Axl decided to keep some of the new guys, but not others.  So you aren't really talking.

Yep.  Agreed on all points.

We spent how long trying to parse what Ron said, when in reality, our first impressions were right the entire time.

Tommy sounds past tense in his comments.

Agreed.

Don't see any other way to read it when you combine it with BOTH lead guitar players packing up and going home.

I wasn't excited about these departures a few months ago...I figured there was nothing good that could come from it...  but now I really am excited.

The Replacements and GNR bassist is ready to leave his old band (or bands?) behind for a new solo venture.

This makes sense.  Remember the rumors swirling in the media last year that Axl was disbanding GNR and retiring after Vegas?  Maybe there was just a hint of truth to that.  As in, possibly, Axl was disbanding that lineup...But possibly continuing with another?  It wouldn't be the first time with the help of some legal gymnastics that Axl did or planned to do something like that.

When does Slash's tour end?  I know he said he planned to dive in to the next solo album soon, but I'm quite sure he'd put that on hold in lieu of a GNR reunion tour.

No question about it.

It will have been for the greater good.

My two cents on this...

Tommy's nickname "The General" for a reason. Whatever happens in GNR, I'm pretty sure Axl or management would probably send the memo to Tommy before Frank or Richard.

Either Frank and Richard have not received the memo yet (current incarnation has no longer any plans) or they could be part of GNR 2016.

If you ignore it, then there's no news!
Don't you get it?  hihi

Considering Bumblefoot was doing his countdown and making comments about leaving, that alone would tell you that the 2009-2014 line up was done.

And Tommy doesn't seem like the kind of guy who spoil something out of spite simply if he wasn't in the fold.

Yet we wasted how much time and bandwith arguing against all common sense that maybe there was nothing to that?

Maybe we don't do that this time around.  Tommy sounding done might be for the very basic reason Tommy is done.

curious to see the new incarnation of the band

Tommy apparently out, DJ & Ron out, Slash saying he's on better terms with Axl, Duff making music with Izzy...
