Slash isn't going to magically make Axl release new music. I'm afraid no one can at this point. For whatever reason, he is obviously way too self conscious about it.
Yeah that's the problem. Anything that has purely Axl running the show, whether that be NuGNR or a reunion with screwed up terms favouring Axl is not going to be a good recipe for new material.
The whole long Chi Dem saga shows that you cannot give Axl sole control. But then even a reunion on equitable terms is probably gonna struggle. There is just something about Axl's being that means he is going to labour over every minute detail to the point of stupidity. Then if he doesn't like something, isn't getting his own way or doesn't want to do something he will just dig his heels in or throw a tantrum like a baby. Irrespective of how irrational his position might be he will just take his bat and ball and go home.

Well I think a fairer comparison would be how would VR compare to Axl's GNR if all Axl did was play new music, none of the old stuff. But that's never gonna happen because Axl is always going to continue to leverage off the music that they all made famous. I guarantee you probably 90-95% of people at those concerts are there for the classic stuff not CD material. So with that in mind did Axl really win?
I'm sure that legacy at times pisses him off, he can't get the majority of the joe average music consuming public to move beyond the stuff that was written 20-25 years ago.
I would probably argue that none of them have really won out of this whole sad state of affairs. Neither are struggling by any means but you couldn't argue either has been a raging success.
#1483 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR fined $108,000 for breaking curfew. » 812 weeks ago
It would be easy to resolve this issue with a reunion. Just simply have it in the contract that Axl is responsible for paying any late fees.
You know seeing the myspace changes for the Adelaide and Perth gigs coming up in December where they were moved forward the start times. I looked at that and thought that perhaps the start times are earlier so Axl can still keep everyone waiting for the obligatory 2 hours after the support acts finish but then not go over any curfew time.

That was a semi-joke, a story told to how Duff was on stage. They stayed at the same hotel and ran into each other. End of story. Like you say, don't believe in the tooth fairy.
Was it a semi joke? I read that story in an online article from either rollingstone or some other place (not that that gives it any more credibility), and just thought WTF. I can understand a coincidence of just staying in the same hotel but the other stuff was "out there"!
So presumably Axl said that stuff on stage just messing around (I haven't watched any of the youtube vids) and that's where that info came from? Idiot reporters rehashing stuff like that as if it's gospel.

I think this is cool, it could make for some interesting times ahead.
#1487 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron & Frank Play With Guns 2 Roses » 813 weeks ago
I wondered who the chick was too.
Yeah it's really good of them to get up and do that because the whole thing was always going to probably sound like an abortion musically, so to get up anyhow and just have some fun was really cool.
#1488 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron & Frank Play With Guns 2 Roses » 813 weeks ago
Pretty cool of Ron and Frank to do that!

This was posted at mygnr:
Heya guys
Members of Guns 2 Roses & Guns N Roses performed a low key gig this afternoon thing in Oxford.
Songs performed were Shackler's Revenge, Sweet Child O Mine and Paradise City.
This was totally unrehearsed so Shackler's in particular had bits missing but still was ok.
According to the guy at mygnr that posted it he went on to say:
But basically the owner of the venue that they was at just let G2R know they were there. G2R didn't know they were playing with Ron n' Frank until they arrived (I arrived with them, I know) the guy playing bass - who isn't G2R's bassist - had to learn it in a back of a van like 15 minutes before they performed it. This wasn't to promote either GNR or G2R. It was just Ron n Frank doing a little school/session with youngsters helping to spread rock music and encourage them, as G2R were there they thought "what the hell".
Edit: As it so happens, me and Gav (the singer) were getting hammered at the bar thinking "this is surreal seeing them in a venue this size performing with 10 year olds" when the owner just came along and went "is it alright if you do a couple of songs with 'em?"

Hope you get to ask those questions BBA. Would be interesting to know what they chatted about in Vegas.
