What Is You LineUp Favorite For 2016 ?

[Jim Bob]

With NIN on hiatus, I wonder if Robin could end up back in the band??    Wouldn't be the first time he returned.     Probably not, but would be cool.   

[hRob]

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.

That's pretty much exactly what Ian Gillan is saying about Deep Purple's MK3 era/songs.

It's a possible scenario and then there is also the Iron Maiden/Bruce Dickinson approach, where Bruce doesn't seem to mind to sing a Blaze song here and there.

[jarmo]

Singing is a bit different than guitar playing don't you think?

Go for option 1, but don't mind as long as Axl is cool with whatever he chooses

Personally I just don't see Slash playing with Axl for 2 years minimum even if the relationship has thawed. Too many potential pitfalls and legal issues to broach. The latest incarnation of GNR appears to be dead in the water and replacing 2-3 members to tour CD again would simply stretch the friendship too far with many. So It does seem if GNR are to continue the only viable option is a partial reunion I think it's likely some time off away from the spotlight to concentrate on the personal relationship is the most important aspect anyway. Another issue is that said Duff and Slash will not stick around for lengthy periods of inactivity and most certainly would not allow themselves to be as out of the loop as the previous guys.....I think I'm saying who the hell knows.

But what the hey, we are speculating and stating our dream team.

Axl
Slash
Izzy (If new songs are being written) or Richard if not. (Although I do think a Slash/Richard combo could work brilliantly)
Duff
Frank
Dizzy

Jarmo, if we are discussing a dream team scenario who would you rate as the best combo for either a tour or a new album. As a fan of all incarnations which members hold which strengths and chemistry to you?

Pitman Is In GNR

Yes but that's my wish list I guess. Happy for him to remain but then again am not too fussed either.

[JAEBALL]

I'd like to see the musicians who had a hand in writing and recording the albums they worked on.

If they are going to play a set of 85 percent Appetite and illusions... well then I want to see Axl, Slash, Duff and Izzy play them. Pick a drummer, preferably Matt Sorum and sprinkle in Dizzy on the songs that are needed.

Same as always...

If Axl ever wanted to do a Chinese Democracy residency and play thru the album... then I would want to see those people onstage with him... (Robin, Brain, Buckethead)

This makes sense to people right?

You forgot Chris.
Anyway, what you just posted would probably make most fans and casual fans happy since they'd get the "reunion". Even if it wasn't the AFD5.

All the line ups I've seen have played great shows and had great chemistry.
Both Duff and Tommy worked well. Many fans have a nostalgic (?) emotional attachment to Duff since he was part of the band way back when they made those old albums and videos.

You Remember ?

[JAEBALL]

I'm sorry... I hope to see Duff on bass play It's So Easy over anybody else. I don't know if that makes me nostalgic or not.

I just don't want two brand new guitar players and or a brand new bass player, that have nothing to do with not one Guns N Roses recording.

Which i think is at least a decent possibility... Even if Slash gets up there one day... I don't think it will be in 2016, if you assume he's telling the truth about a new album and tour this coming year... so where do they go for lead guitar?

Robin? I'd be on board with that...Richard take over the bulk of lead parts? Maybe Ron does a 180? ALL better options than new guys joining up.

Who the fuck knows.


HBK... I apologize for getting away from the intent of ur poll.. If I have to choose from ur options... I'll say 1.

I apologize, but I don't follow this one.

You asked what peoples preference are... so I gave it.

It was just a reminder

 

[Sosso]

My favourite line ups for 2016:

1. Axl Rose, Dizzy Reed, Robin Finck, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, Dave Navarro

2. Axl Rose, Dizzy Reed, Robin Finck, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Buckethead, Bain, Richard Fortus

3. Axl Rose, Tracii Guns, Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, Dave Navarro

[D-GenerationX]

Tracii Guns would have to be one the longer shots, I would think.

[EmilyGNR]

Tracii Guns would have to be one the longer shots, I would think.

But he was an original member

[jarmo]

Oh no you didn't.....

Here comes the "But Axl said...." brigade.

[D-GenerationX]

Tracii Guns

The only L.A. Guns tune I can recall is 'The Ballad Of Jayne', which I always sort of liked.

Did they have any other "hits"?  Or at least videos that got airplay?

i saw their greatest hits album once. true story. didnt buy it though, bought jonny cash american 5 instead, even though i was curious. i kind of figured the only reason they had a cd in best buy was because people hard core enough would know the gnr connection and buy it based off that. could be wrong.

not anymore.

Nine Inch Nails set to return in 2016 says Trent Reznor



Posting on his personal account, Reznor said "New NIN coming in 2016. Other stuff, too."

http://www.nme.com/news/nine-inch-nails/90425


so, I would say : no Slash, and no Robin.
