5 Reasons Guns N' Roses Will Reunite and 5 Reasons They Won't

[raindog]

Even that's not a given. Rumours aside, was this year an interesting one for Guns N' Roses? Only if you get your kicks from band members leaving. And the reality is Axl has hinted at nothing, there's no sign of an album or even a song, people don't even know who's in the band or if there is a band. 2016 could just as easily be a repeat of this year.

The"clubs" GNR played in, other than the Brooklyn Bowl, weren't dive bars..More in the way of mini-areanas...As far as  a reunion goes Axl probably wouldn't be making much more than he does on a successful run with the last few lineups..Pretty sure profits would be split up on a more equal level than they have been recently...

How do you know how the profits have recently been split? Did you ask him?

Of course I didn't ask him..But common sense dictates that proceeds would be more evenly split than they have been on recent GNR tours...Most likely there still would be disparity and a pecking order..As Gene Simmons said in regards to the 1996 KISS Reunion "if 4 friends buy a car together, 2 have to sit up front and 2 have to sit in the back"..

There's been hints, just not from Axl. The last we heard of anything gnr plans, it was in 2014 and about a album.

Do you think there is much of a chance that if Slash and Duff do come back, its to go on salary and have no say in anything?

Does that seem terribly likely?

[sky dog]

likely revert back to the 1992 partnership agreement...each has equal say...Axl owns the name...profits split 3 ways after paying whatever hired hands come along for the ride. If Izzy is in, then that would change things substantially.

I would assume so, yes.  That's or something very close to it.

Remember that time when Duff came back an did a bunch of shows?

Yes, it was a temporary thing, but still. It sounds like some make things seem more complicated than they might be.

Hypothetically speaking.

No!  When was this???

It was a one off, helping Axl out of a jam type situation.  Not sure what, if any, application those few magical nights in South America would have one Slash or Duff coming back full time and how the deal would be structured

But I would think even you could concede they aren't coming back as salaried employees with no say in anything.  Right?  You don't really think that's even a possibility, do you?

That's really all that is being said here.

[sky dog]

I think I could see Izzy being salaried if he only does sporadic shows....not Slash and Duff if they go full time.. That being said, I want Izzy in the mix full time split it evenly four ways. However, I may not get my wish...or anything at all!

[jarmo]

One off or not. It included him playing shows with the band.

Way different to him playing a song with the band for example.

Define "coming back" and "no say in anything".
This hypothetical discussion is so general that it's difficult to answer what you're trying to ask.

For example, do they need to own the band name to do a hypothetical reunion tour? No, I don't think so.

"coming back" = performing with Axl Rose as Guns N' Roses

"no say in anything" = the way things have been run the past 20 years

[sky dog]

Axl won't give up the name issue but I think he would split all profits related to a reunion tour with Slash and Duff. Actually, it would have to be a whole new partnership at this point because the money is substantial ....obviously. I don't think any of them would want to take the time and re-do the 1992 partnership deal so it would be easier to do a new deal separately.

So you think they need to be equal partners in the GN'R business to play some hypothetical reunion shows?
What if you start a new business and split those profits and costs three ways for example?

Reunion or no reunion I'm still anxiously awaiting GNR's next move...

Me too.
Can't wait to see what's next.



Note: There's no timeline involved here. I'm not one of those who feel I need something in a certain time frame or I'll get grumpy!

Yep... the only band in the world where the Band & Management & those close to the band find the need to accost its fans for wanting the band to release music.

 

Good times.

[poorlakers]

I would very much like to see it happen (reunification, if you will). Myself, I would rather have a collection of songs to hear versus a live tour that I would not have the time to attend! Just my 2 cents worth.

Is it time for the pity party again?
Yay!
Poor me!


So much for you having a sense of humor. I was just making sure none of you who read in circles start trolling and claiming I need things from the band.

Can't wait to try get tickets to a show, and I sure hope Richard frank and Chris are included in what ever line up it ends up being
