Matt might not be realistic, but from an economic standpoint his name on the bill would be a bigger draw than anybody except Adler. And we know how much these guys like their cash. I'm giving it an outside chance. Brain would be fine but I'm not really ecstatic about it. That Isaac guy from Duffs band might work just as well. Outside of Matt/Steven it just doesn't seem very important who the drummer is.
It's sad to see Steven these days. Back in 2016 he was killing it. This is probably the best song performed in the reunion:
No chance of that happening anymore.

I'd say Brain is most likely to replace him he stopped touring because he had a kid and by now that kid will be grown up. He has had one foot in the camp for years, been used on studio material that has been released even when Frank was in the band as well as doing remixes/ connection with Reece ect.
Matt probably spoke too much shit in his book and Adler just isn't going to happen
I didn't know he was still close to the band. At first my thought was Matt being the natural replacement, but if Brain is involved it's probably going to be him.
Still hoping for Matt. Technically he's more than good enough and it would bring back some of that UYI flavor.

I'm sorry to say it but this is GREAT news. He's arguably the worst drummer the band has had and he's been standing in the way of a Matt/Brain reunion.
Hope it's Brain for the skill and Matt for the personality.
Sorry Frank.

I remember at the time Axl got some flak for singing without much rasp, but god damn his voice was still so powerful. He'd learned techniques that he could not do in the 80s and 90s. Just listen to the immense power of this opening scream:
The band is so solid too. I almost want to say Jungle has never sounded better musically.

Love this iteration of the band. Sound quality does appear to be better.
Incredible how this was hidden for so many years.

Honestly Axl Rose might be the only person in the world where I can not make a shred of sense of his thinking.
Slash, Duff we can understand. GN'R is a huge gig, lots of money, big crowds. Free to do whatever they want on the side. A great situation for the both of them.
And then you have Axl. Never liked touring much, don't like cameras, once said he hated living off Appetite for Destruction. What does he do? He goes on a 9 year nostalgia tour playing Welcome to the Jungle every night. His old pals are back in the band, both the media and the public are warming up to him and he could probably release an album with Slash & Duff to great reviews and adulation. Basically everything he's been trying to achieve for the last 25 years. Yet he just sits on his ass with no discernible ambition. Judging by interviews he has not spent as much as 1 second working on new material for over 2 decades. But he did the AC/DC thing like he was a kid again.

That story where some guy supposedly played Better at his high school and everyone started dancing down the hallways will never not be funny.
I can believe that. When I played the first Better leak to some friends of mine they became shell shocked. Could have been a huge hit if they released it then.
Anyone remember the name of that porn star that was here for awhile?
When was this?

I mean, it worked for Axl.
I suspect that his involvement will be very limited – they'll wheel him out, have him do Crazy Train with Zakk Wylde, maybe Iron Man with Sabbath, and then he'll sit back and let the (impressive) guest list do the heavy lifting, then they'll wheel him out again to close with Paranoid.
It's basically the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert but the subject's not dead yet.
Yeah, makes sense. I remember we saw him live in 2006, and already back then we were incredulous at the idea of him performing. To our surprise he came out and killed it. Maybe I'm not giving him a enough credit, but 20 years is a lot. Hopefully he keeps his dignity.
