Tommy: I Had To Walk Away And Take Care Of My Stuff, Hopes Axl/Slash Mend Fences

[rebelhipi]

So....to those doubting the phrasing the first time...does this move you closer to the "he is out" side? Or not? I'm honestly curious...not trying to push one way or the other.

It just confirms what he said last time, he dindnt quit, he is not fired. He is taking a break from the band. Now he dosent know what the situation is, maybe he is not ready to join the band again, maybe the band dosent need him now. He is (momentarily) out of the loop because he asked to.

To me, it sounds like he's out, but he's just not closing the door to the possibility of coming back, should TB figure out how to use a phone. 

Thats how i read it, too..and was basically my take away the first time.

But the coming back is a considerstion, not a foregone conclusion.

He says he had to walk away after Las Vegas to deal with his personal situation.  He's waiting for someone to call him to let him know what's up with the band.

He doesn't know what the band has planned going forward.

He is out. The only difference is that he is not gonna issue a statement like DJ did. BBF was out and he never issue a statement. But unlike BBF, Tommy is less evasive. Tommy says he played his last gig in Vegas and that he had to walk away. On top of that he is fine if Axl and Slash are friends again. It seems he wouldn?t mind a reunion

Good articles, thanks for posting

[D-GenerationX]

Ok Tommy good luck taking care of your stuff. I?ll take care of my stuff and Axl and Slash will take care of their stuff, whatever their stuff is

 

So he's not out.  He just walked away...

What's the difference?  Same end result.

Well, at this point....you HAVE to root for a reunion.  There is no band right now. 

Help us Obi-Wan Reunion...you're only only hope.....

But do you think is a situation where absence is going to make the heart grow fonder?

What is he really walking away from?

Nice attempt at trolling there.
In case you're serious, why are you here?

OK, its September 15th, 2016.  One year from today.

The band continues at the breakneck pace they are currently on. 

Tommy is going to feel compelled to call Axl at that point?  Why?

[jarmo]

You're assuming that's the case.

Even if it was, think about it.
All the information you need is available on this site.....

If you're still not sure, here's a hint:

Why are you inventing a future fantasy? You have no idea what will transpire by Sept 2016.

[D-GenerationX]

You're assuming that's the case.

I'm taking a stab, yes.

Should things go that way, I have a hard time seeing Tommy's sudden desire to reach out and touch someone.

Betting man?  We can close the book on Mr. Stinson as it pertains to Guns N' Roses.

Not claiming to be Nostradamus here, Emily.

Just a question about a very probable turn of events and how that might play out.

For the first time in 20 years, sure seems like some reunion type scenario is our best bet to see more of Axl Rose.

There are those that seem to enjoy jumping to conclusions and assuming, then there are those who prefer to wait on official information.

I belong to that last group.

I suppose it is fun to speculate on possible probabilities, it certainly seems to be appealing to many. 

Guess I'm a buzzkill, I prefer certainties and official statements.

i understand how people are curious on whats happening, i am curious myself, but i totally agree with you! Why assume things...?

I think i take him at his word: he'll consider it.

What his requirements would be, what he would want to see to convince him to return (if anything), i have no idea.

I think, at this point, just wrapping our heads around "out/not out" is enough to grapple with, for me. I can't entertain the "what if" to secure his return, or what the probability of return is. I'm just not there, yet.

[ITARocker]

Once again I was right  . He was clearly out.

Reunion is comin' (probably not a full reunion, but something like that). We'll see.

Stinson was the last man standing, whitout him new gnr doesn't mean anything, we all know.

[RnT]

Amazes me the way things are going.
It?s like Axl/TB... band members.

When BBF put that countdown on his twitter, seemed to me that things were going bad. I remember the rumor about band members got the news about after the vegas residence, they?ll be free to do their things. Ok, so go and do it. But Axl has plenty of songs already recorded and now they have 3 guys (if Tommy?s out) out of the band, after 1 year of the last show. How can we be optimistic about the situation? If the reunion will not gonna happen, do you think axl will do another tour with new members without a new album? for what?? The core of this "new" line up was always the guitars and axl.
Same time I?m anxious about what?s next, I?m kinda bored to see these former members given a goodbye to this band with a letdown feeling it it. It?s frustating, even to a recent fan of GNR.

[Lucky]

IMO this just means that there's nothing going on. And as Ashba said "hiatus".

once there's something "going on"... Axl would let em all know, and see who's on-board with that project.

kinda crap to be in their shoes... with all the uncertainty
