Andrew Dice Clay Says He brought GNR Back Together

Andrew Dice Clay Brought Guns n? Roses Back Together

Iconic comedian Andrew Dice Clay has always been bigger than life, but now he explained that like the Machavallian character he is, he laid the groundwork for the upcoming Guns n? Roses reunion at Coachella.
Dice called comedian and columnist Jeffrey Gurian this week, and told his friend that over a series of months he connected with Gn?R members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagen, as well as road manager Tom Mayhew and helped to grease the wheels to get the reunion underway.


Back in February 2015, Slash surprised the music world by tweeting @AxlRose wishing him a Happy Birthday. According to Dice, he helped make that tweet happen when he told GnR road manager Tom Mayhew, who he?s been friends with for nearly three decades that they need to get Slash to tweet something good about Axl.  Soon after, the infamous birthday tweet.

Dice says he?d run into Slash when he was performing in Australia and told Slash that Guns had millions of fans who would love to seem them get back together.  He also opened for Axl at the Hard Rock in Vegas, and told Axl that it was time for the band to get back together.

 A few months later, Duff McKagen came to see Dice?s son?s band, previously known as L.A. Rocks, now Still Rebel. Dice says Duff told him Still Rebel was ready to break out. Dice, in return, mentioned to Duff that he thought Guns should get back together.

And now the band is set to reunite at Coachella and Slash and Axl will be on stage together for the first time since 1996.  So maybe it is just a coincidence, or maybe Dice really is the force that brought together the most sought after reunion of the year.

 So thank Dice, Guns N Roses fans. Cause he may have made this happen.
Gn?R and Still Rebel aren?t the only ones having a big year.  Andrew Dice Clay has a huge year ahead of him too, with a giant role in Scorsese?s Vinyl debuting February 14th on HBO, and a new Showtime series debuting on April 17th called Dice.

I'm thinking coincidence.

Anyone remember back to Golden Gods 2014...Dice mentioned emailing with Axl which was not true if I remember.  What happened was Dice had been emailing with someone who claimed to be Axl?

He said he was communicating with someone via gmail claiming to be Axl, Axl told him he doesn't use gmail.

Personally, I think Duff had a big part in this whole thing. Especially after spending an extended period of time with Axl in 2014.

Maybe they've all simply grown up and matured and realized there's a lot of $$$ to be made with this. Either way we win if it gets guns touring again.

I ate some ice cream last week.  Think it's fair to say it was me who's responsible for all this.

[Continental_Drift]

Haha. I think Dice's been a band supporter for a long time- so definitely credit there.

At the end of the day though- I think Spirit's got his finger on it. None of this is happening IMHO if the "2014 South American Experiment" w/Duff didn't go as well as it apparently did.

Haven't shared a stage together since 1996 someone needs to do there research

I'm with you 1 million percent. This never happens unless The Replacements book that tour.

I hope one day down the road we get some tidbits on how it all went down...who called who..etc etc.

Watching to see who pops up next attempting to take credit for the reunion (And getting some PR visibility in the process)

Not sure if the bothers the guys in the band, but if it does, doing an in-depth interview about what has transpired would shut all that down.

Hahahaha

You really put in yeoman work on this whole thing.  We are in your debt.

[damnthehaters]

It's crap like this that could ruin the whole thing.

Only one person could cock this up, and it ain't the Diceman.

There are TWO people who could "cock this up" or "ruin the whole thing" and neither of them are Dice or AdZ.

Please use the reply button instead of quoting the entire conversation.  Some of us aren't that bright and it took me a few seconds to figure out that AdZ's eating ice cream has more to do with facilitating the reunion than the point the two of you are trying to make about what could cause this all to go south.  Thanks.
