Are we perhaps setting ourselves up for massive disappointment?

Love that article desperately trying to read something into Duff's use of L.A.M.F.

Psssst.... Guys.....it means he likes Johnny Thunders. 

Don't you almost wish he posted a photo of a cup of coffee or something just to see the "secret meaning" behind it? 

They grow an awful lot of coffee in.....Brazil! South American reunion tour starts now!

Haha, you're right! Of course!

If nothing is  going to happen, the new incarnation of the band with 2 (or 3) new players will be a total fiasco. Axl knows that and if he hasn't stopped the rumors up to now there are obvious reasons. I don't know if we can talk about a full reunion, but knowing Axl, at least we'll see duff mckagan re-joining the band.
Axl won't dissappoint his fans that much...

I don't know how you'd possibly sell it.

Clearly there has been a huge drop off from their prime to all the replacement line-ups.  And I guess he's retained most of however many fans that wound up being over these past 15 years.

But can you even retain all whatever number of people that is, if you pull what looks a pretty serious bait and switch?  Can you really say definitively there won't be people that get fed up and say, you know what...fuck this guy?

Clearly, coming back with 2 new guitar players and going back on tour with a new lineup will only send this thing around in circles again..will only delay the next album..and will take some more getting used to from a fan base already not sure where this thing is headed

The time is right and the time is now for Slash and Duff to rejoin the band and make some magic happen.

[norway]

Its very clear that its happening.

And still not a shred of proof.  Round and round!

You'll get proof when it happens.

like cd2

But dude, they put a friggin' teaser trailer in front of Star Wars while simultaneously changing the official website to ONLY feature the original 87-93 band logo

What trailer? I just saw something like a bootleg. If the rumors was true then this would  be the worst promo-video ever. EVER.

But then again, 99.999% of the GNR online fan community thinks I'm about as cool as AIDS....

rockers shouldn't be cool or socially accepted, anyway so who the fuck cares

  u dig?

This is the bank busting retirement tour and you know what i dont blame them,theyre being offered silly amounts of cash to do so lets all swallow the pride and make more bank (partly) together than they do solo.

I say again i dont blame them i'd do the same,but it wont be 1980's again they're middle aged men (as i am too and ive changed a lot in that time too)

I honestly think Axl would get a long well with a sober Slash.

Like Axl told Duff, They became what they said they never would... Slash had people filling his head full of shit, Axl the same, caused a space/rift that grew further. Time makes u wiser and they see that now.

[DeN]

how long all these guys will stay sober on a reunion tour?

 

[Mr. Nik™]

I was thinking that, since Guns N Roses is legally an Axl thing, maybe - if this sort of reunion happens - it could be a temporary event, like a "one year special tour", then move on.

It could but why would people care for nuGNR after this? He wont be able to hold the card that he is pissed at ex GNR members and that they left bla bla, it wouldnt make sense.
Im certain this is for good and either they keep going or Axl takes it easy after, semi retired. Obviously this is just an opinion, anything can and will happen!!

there are many cards to hold.. it's clear that it's not a simply "pissed at ex members" thing... simply, they had their own parted ways for 20 years, Axl put efforts and heart in his stuff, and I don't think he's the guy who thrashes all of it.. maybe this thing could simply be a way to make peace (and a lot of money, of course), then go on without the rust... I'd be happy, in this case

I know but just wait until the GNR reunion tour kicks off, the excitement will be off the roof, i cant see Axl end it and go back to new members, it would be anti climatic to say the least. Anyway ill enjoy the next couple of years of GNR, cheers!

At a minimum, it means that *way* more people will tune into Jimmy Kimmel this week.   


I envision Coachella being as much of the Appetite / Illusion members as possible.  If / when a tour follows, we might see Frank and Richard onboard.  All complete speculation, but hey, that's what we do around here.
