I would laugh too....
But that of course is AFTER I massacre the 26 people inside of the Best Buy, and walk out soaked in blood...

Yeah, but that doesn't really count Guns.
The entire album is better than 99% of what's out there.
Take the weakest track (in your opinion) from the album, and I guarantee you it's fucking Coma, compared to what's out there.

One week... it's a surreal feeling.

Get the idea?
He'll do whatever Mr. Rose tells him to do. Bottom line. Axl is GN'R, face the facts. The man has NO PROBLEM going out on tour with a different lineup as Guns N' Roses. See 2001-02/2006-07.
Also see the setlists....
ONLY reason he threw us any bones was to insure the hardcores went to the shows. While only getting a few CD tracks, he dug extremely deep into the old discography by playing such non essential tracks like Think About You, Down on the Farm, etc. Hell, hardcores were screaming for Prostitute in Los Angeles but they played LALD instead.
He knows what butters his bread in the big picture.
You think those same hardcores are gonna scream for Prostitute on a reunion tour? No, they're gonna scream for Estranged, Coma, or Locomotive.
Axl touched on this in '99. In his opinion, the majority of the concert-going audience, connects with Appetite. That's want they want to hear. Some Illusion tracks, yes, but it's probably more connected with the diehards. He also alluded to the fact it's difficult for him to play UYI tracks, because what he hears is a band "breaking up". It's emotionally difficult. Notice the five Illusion tracks that have been played in the new era, two are covers, and the other three were written well before "the fall".
What people forget, is it doesn't really boil down to CD. It boils down to what Slash & Duff have done post-Guns. They assume the audience just loves their work. They 'might', just like old Gunners 'might' love CD... but in reality, if the reunion were to happen, people would want to start BACK at 1993, and just break out the eraser on last 15 years of all their careers.
And personally I would agree. Think "Use Your Illusion III" and go from there.

My guess is they'd do like Motley Crue, and record a few new tracks to go on an anthology, then tour playing the old catalog and those few new songs, one of which might be a cover, who knows.
James is right though. It seems when I say things like reunions won't feature CD & VR, I get all kinds of shit about how "Slash won't do this", "Slash won't do that"... blah blah blah.

It's Five O'Clock Somewhere & Contraband both went platinum.
5:00 went platinum? Jesus... I used that disc for skeet shooting within a week of purchase.
PULL! *bang* 
#16560 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy » 938 weeks ago
VR is the only project that Slash & Duff got a platinum album, and the audience would identify with.
New GN'R have never played a wealth of CD material. Maybe that'll change with the album being out... but for some reason - I doubt it. I don't think it's a far stretch to get Slash & Duff to play on only 3-4 CD songs, with the rest being the back catalog. They already do that anyways without them.
It wouldn't be marketed as the CD world tour anyways. There's more money in marketing a reunion. They might wouldn't play any CD material at all.
