Back in 2006 I want to say, Baz made a comment how he was hanging out with Axl, Lars Ulrich & Jon Bon Jovi.

I don't think Axl's worried. He has enough money to pay back Geffen and thensome.

I also think he knows and Azoff knows the quickest way to make a ton of money is a reunion. If the new band were active and getting their own fans, i'd buy into the idea of a couple one off shows and remaining the focus on the new band.

Not the case. The new band has done nothing, Axl has waited too long, and although CD or four CD's will still be big sales imo, they're still not matchable to an official GN'R reunion.

Azoff also has a history of reuniting long-apart bands. My guess is that a multiple CD-release will happen at the same time as a reunion and blow everyone away. Most likely Frank Ferrer will be on drums, and Izzy will be on rhythm and when Izzy doesn't want to perform, Richard Fortus will be plugged in.

It's not that far-fetched to believe. Adler obviously wouldn't be invited back at this point, and I really don't see Axl wanting Matt.

An absolutely gorgeous Red X.

I've seen them live. They might be covering someone else's music, but they are talented.

Robin Finck - I think he's better with NIN. Trent stays busy, and keeps Robin busy, and Robin likes that. He's slowed himself down for Axl.

Buckethead - most talented musician of anybody associated with GN'R in it's history. He's bigger than this band creatively, and he knew that. Guns is at a loss without him, and it's Axl's fault.

Bumblefoot - benefitted by being in Guns. Seems to be a team player, has struck up a friendship with Axl, likes the fans, the fans like him, very talented, a very good fit.

Richard Fortus - I like Richard, but if Guns weren't there he'd find work. He's the Josh Freese of rhythm guitarists.

Tommy Stinson - I don't think he's hurt by it. The Replacements still are more of an underground band, despite their modest success, and his solo work is strong. I think he's fine waiting for Axl, because I don't think he's got anything else to do.

Josh Freese - better off without Guns. This dude is the busiest of anyone. I think he's a tad overrated by some, but he is talented. No real loss though.

Brain - like Buckethead, his creativity was being held back. He could be far more busy than Axl would allow him to be with Guns.

Frank Ferrer - like with Ron, he's benefitted by being in the band. Relative unknown, but very talented. Doesn't really have anything else to do, and can wait for Guns.

Dizzy Reed - as apart of the GN'R legacy at this point as Axl. Very talented, but not talented enough that I think he's being held back. Axl takes care of him, and i'm glad he's there.

Chris Pittman - held back by the band. Very talented keyboardist, that's been stifled by the band. Glad he's there, but I don't know how glad he is to be there.
