I think our best bet is if a few people get early copies of RB2 and they upload Shacklers to
the net or Youtube.
The hoarders either don't have it or won't get off it. I'm thinking if they had it would have
dropped by now.

^^^
And that is no doubt Axl's fault. I agree with you there.
At least Merck fucked with us. Shit.

It just seems that no matter what conversation comes up, somehow, someway, a reunion
option is thrown in the mix. I think a reunion scenerio has been theorized and used in every
which way there is, no matter what the circumstance 
I will say this, if Axl falls on his face I could see a reunion possibility. But we haven't even got
to that bridge yet.
And if every member was brought back that people have been theorizing here for the last month,
GNR would have more members than Earth, Wind and Fire.

Promo ideas involving a reunion when you're trying to pimp 4 albums of the new band??
Azoff is there working on "Axl's project" Not a reunion deal, which as I said before, would
need its own team of managers and lawyers to get off the ground.
Come on, guys... How can this even be a logical opition. Seriously.
And this arguement is OLD.
#11645 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 953 weeks ago
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I think if there is one person in the history of GNR that
wouldn't be swayed by money it would be Izzy. I just don't think it's going to be as easy as
everyone thinks. And I can promise you one thing, besides a few shows or a tour, it would
be a very, very long time before you got anything from a reunion. And the reunion thing has
been shoved into every discussion for the last ten years. Not only is it old, but it would have
happened by now.
And not to get this back on topic or anything...
But if nothing happens before the end of September, we can just fart away anything happening
in 2008 >:(

I still don't think they really give a shit about money in the long run. They are all filthy rich
and a reunion for them would be for sentimental value only. Slash has said many, many times
that every year someone is throwing insane ammounts of money for a reunion and that hasn't
made them budge once.
It could be a part of Axl and Azoffs "plans" but the other guys would have to go along with it.
And I just don't see them wanting to unless there is a huge understanding about what is what, and
no one is going to be dictated to. I just don't see that being a very realistic opition.

All I know is that I am starting to lose faith in Azoff. The silent treatment tells me he ain't better than Merck or anyone else for that matter involved in this fiasco.
To be fair, communication with the fans is the band's responsibility, not the management. When
Metallica communicates with their fans its not through THE FIRM.
#11648 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 953 weeks ago
That's my point, Mad. He has the power. The guys aren't going to jump into "Axl's band" and
be fine with it. Duff, Slash and Matt have proven themselves in their own right as a money
making enterprise with their OWN management team looking out for THEIR interest. Uncle
Axl and Azoff would have to do some heavy negotiaions just to get it to the negotiation table.
From the sounds of it, their (Duff and Slash) idea of a reunion and the FANS idea of a reunion
are two very different things.
I think Azoff's concern right now is GNR 2008 and Chinese Democracy. I seriously think if Azoff
even brought up the idea of a reunion it would offend Axl beyond belief. Too me, as is, they have
a lot going for them in their corner with this album. And if it is a "joint venture" I'm sure it will get
worked out. Universal just wants to get paid for this headache. I think they even might be
surprised of how much interest is still involved with CD. That's why I think the Rockband move was
fucking genius.
#11649 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 953 weeks ago
No way a reunion will be tied to this. Like I've said before, its not going to be as easy as Axl
calling the guys up and saying, "Yo, lets get back together!"
Duff is no dummy. That shit is going to have to have some stipulations for him to get involved.
I don't see Izzy wanting the aggravation.
And Axl isn't going to hand over control, nor share it with anyone. Its not going to happen now,
or in the forseeable future.
There are many, many other ways for Axl and company to get money and force Universals hand.
Rock Band was a prime example of this.
#11650 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 953 weeks ago
Everything seems to be dead on the gnr info front.
You know, in other words, everything's back to normal.
