[Spirit]

Of the three of them I'm gonna vote #1.

Would also be happy with a Robin return.



If the line-up actually happens to be like #1, I don't think there will be a 3rd guitarist.

[D-GenerationX]

Of that list, I'd say #3.

#3 with the exception of Tommy, who sure seemed to be talking about this band in the past tense.

So : Axl, Richard, Dizzy, Frank...and 3 randos

GNR 2016 : It's FANtastic!!

[D-GenerationX]

If the line-up actually happens to be like #1, I don't think there will be a 3rd guitarist.

I agree with this.

Because if Slash or Duff return, I'm pretty sure you can kiss any GNR songs recorded post 1991 good-bye.  Thus, no need to for a 3rd guy.

If Slash and Duff return, I think its for a tour only.

Why?

I disagree... Duff played CD songs.. and if Axl and Slash mended fences... I'm sure the good will all around would have Slash play some and maybe even Axl trying his hand at some Slash stuff.

I do agree, that is Slash is around with Izzy or Richard... there is no need for another guitar player.

Alright, we're going to give this a try.  How long it lasts, depends on you.

I think if Slash or Duff come back, its to play a reunion tour of sorts with Axl Rose, and to play the songs that made them famous.

I do not think they will have any interest in anything that was done after they left.  In other words, I am of the opinion that for the return of Slash and Duff, the price is that you have heard your last 'Chinese Democracy' song so long as they are the ones on stage.

I also do not think any possible return of Slash or Duff is for anything but a tour, thus no new songs to find their way into a setlist.

[D-GenerationX]

I disagree... Duff played CD songs.. and if Axl and Slash mended fences... I'm sure the good will all around would have Slash play some and maybe even Axl trying his hand at some Slash stuff.

The difference I see here is that Duff was an emergency fill-in mid tour for a stage show that already has those songs in the mix.  This would be a new endeavor.

I also don't think Slash would be interested in playing songs Axl tried to do without him, any more than I think Axl would be interested in singing any songs Slash tied to do without him.

I think any reunion tour is comprised of GNR songs recorded during 1987-1991, with perhaps a cover or two.

You very well might be right, but you made it sound as if Slash would be offended to the notion of having to play such material.

[D-GenerationX]

Well, I am saying it in a way, I suppose.

I think a better way to put it would be that it would be better if that idea came from Slash's end.  If he suggested it, that would obviously suggest he's cool with it.

On the other hand, if Axl were to insist on it, that might rub Slash the wrong way.  Because he had zero to do with any of that stuff.

Does that make sense?

Ok.
Things to consider. Slash isn't really a musician who doesn't perform music written by others. Duff already has played some of those tracks.

Your theory is based on "I didn't write or record it, I'm not gonna perform it". Which could be true.
But it's also possible that in the hypothetical scenario, they'd see those songs and see a chance to put their stamp on it..... Like "Ok, you heard that song the way the other guys played it, here's what it would've sounded with us"...

I think both are possible scenarios in the hypothetical reunion tour scenario.

That's actually the best case scenario, I think.

Let's face it, they listened to the CD album as soon as they could, regardless of what they said.  They've heard the songs.

I think it would be awesome if they heard some of them and thought, man, I could have done something with this.  Or how, like you say, they'd like a shot to put their stamp on it.

I would absolutely love to hear Slash give 'There Was A Time' and 'This I Love' a whirl.  I think he'd be great on those solos.

I think its a different scenario though. On the one hand, yes he's been known to play covers from other artists. On the other, He was a founding member of Guns N Roses (depending on who you ask...lol), so it may be a bit weird for him to play music created by other artists under the GNR moniker.

I think its a delicate situation.  Which is why I think it best if the idea came from Slash, because then you know he's cool with it.

Asking him to play 'Catcher In The Rye' is not the same as suggesting they play 'Dead Flowers' or 'Whole Lotta Rosie'.

It not a perfect analogy, but I think the point is at least somewhat transferable :

If you had a girlfriend you broke up with, then reconciled with 10 years later, would you really draw much attention to things you did with other girls in the meantime?  I doubt it.  Because its awkward.  It might be best to leave all that stuff be, lest risk the reconciliation.

Like I said, not a perfect analogy.  But you see the point I'm after.

Fair point.

If you don't remember that songs like Reckless Life, Anything Goes and so on were co-written by people who were in pre-GN'R bands.... So not GN'R, but not that far off.
He had no trouble playing and recording songs that Axl and Izzy's old band originally wrote back in the day. Maybe his attitude changed. Who knows.

Anyway, I don't see that being a big stretch. Duff already played them.
And who knows, some of those songs (like This I Love) might have started back when Slash was still in the band...

I would like to see option 1, but I think option 3 is more realistic.

I know in another thread some people talked about orianthi as a good replacement. I was against a woman in GNR but I saw Nita Strauss play with Alice cooper and she rocked. Good player and stage presence plus she's hot as hell!
