I agree w those who have said his cinments seem similar to previous interviews

If tommy leaves for sure for sure then in my view Axl has 2 options left if he wants to continue his career...disband gnr in any form (If his contract w universal allows) or reunite

Assembling a whole new band at this point seems like it would be a very hard thing to accomplish ...but maybe not. ..I dunno


That's pretty much how I see it.

Personally I don't believe he'd try and put together another band. If it were one guitar player leaving then sure, he'd get another. But these guys all left for a reason. People wouldn't publicly quit a band like this if they were just taking a break, it doesn't make sense to me. You leave something completely if there is nothing left for you in any capacity.

Which to me means either 1) Axl is hanging it up (which I doubt) or 2) A reunion is in play.

He's speaking of GNR in past tense.  Therefore, I think he's probably gone.

I don't know why anybody would question would he said. If you speak and understand English, it's clear that he is not currently with GnR, IE he's out.

Tommy was interview by 89.3 The Current.  Here's roughly some of what he had to say...

September 13th, 2015

What's up with GN'R? You've been in Guns N' Roses for what 15 years?

Tommy Stinson:  17 years. Ya know, I, the back story on that I don't really want to talk about on air. What happened with it, it has nothing to do with Axl or any of that stuff. It had more to do with my personal situation. Basically, I played my last gig in Las Vegas with them and had to come home and tend to that the best I could. While Replacement's things were kinda being offered up. And, I you know, I sort of, I don't know. I think that my guess is...that at some point someone is going to call me and tell me what's up with that. Cause we've all left, we've left on friendly terms it not like a bad thing. Another guitar player DJ Ashba I think he "officially" quit  to do something but ya know I just, ya know, I had to walk away and take care of my stuff so. Taking care of my stuff, whatever my stuff is.

17 years later, boom. It was a very good gig for me I nothing bad to say.

I know there's been speculation going on in the press the last few day that Axl and Slash may be trying to mend fences.

Tommy Stinson: I'll be perfectly honest with you man, I hope they do because ya know, when you go back to where you started from and just check that out, and feel that for a moment after you've gone on and done all these other things ya know. There is a reward that comes with that I had that with the Mats stuff...it's a good thing, it's a good thing to do once in a while. And I hope it works out for them. If that actually happens.

First colbert...now stewart...I need to find something cool to watch now

I've been big on political satire this past year

I find Jon Oliver to be rather brilliant, more thorough and crass than Stewart. I also second Maher and watch him every weekend.

Anyone heard the album?

Was a big FNM fan back in the day, but wasn't too impressed with their reunion tour so haven't followed them for a while.


I've been a huge FNM fan for nearly 25 years, but I could not get into the new album. I've listened 3 times now, and I still think it sucks. Kind of shocking to me really.

#2046 Re: The Sunset Strip » Narcos - Netflix original » 582 weeks ago

I binge watched the entire first season and finished last week. Another awesome show by Netflix, who have single-handedly kicked cable's ass, Blockbuster's ass, and now networks TV's ass. 

I'd also recommend "House of Cards" if you haven't seen it. I can't give enough praise to the cast, especially Kevin Spacey.

#2047 Re: The Garden » Donald Trump running for President » 582 weeks ago

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Trump make the GOP his bitch. He's like some sort of wrecking ball, and they have little power to stop him. The usual tactics don't work, and Trump certainly appears immune from "gotcha" statements.

The candidates are in this balancing act between attacking him, but not really too harshly. Nobody wants to draw his ire-they're all too chicken shit. I've noticed that those who do, are low down in the polls or on the way out. Jindal, Rick Perry etc.

I find it odd that the fringe GOP conservative base love this guy. He's not that conservative, other than a few key issues. He's in favor or national health care, would raise taxes on the upper tier, was against Iraq and so on.

I'm also shocked that he's made it this far as the front runner, however we are a LONG way out, especially in regards to political timelines.

If anything, Trump proves to be an incredibly calculating man. When stepping back and examining him more closely, I believe even the most brash, and seemingly on-the-fly statements really aren't that off the cuff. He knows how to fan the flames, and he's working one segment of his constituents at a time (starting with the crazies.) He's also been on TV now for years preceding this, in a leadership role. Sitting behind his desk, making decisions, hiring/firing, being tough when he has too, and compassionate at other times. He's implanted himself into the American psyche as the boss.

At this point I'd imagine that if/when he gets the boot from the GOP that he'll run as an Indy. Yes he signed that "pledge" but that doesn't mean jack shit, not in Trump-land.

#2048 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash and Axl friends again? » 582 weeks ago

Yup. Him apologizing and mentioning Axl getting into shape...strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

#2049 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash and Axl friends again? » 582 weeks ago

Hacked by Warchild or Madison I'd bet!!

If Duff joins I don't see how Slash does not.


Really, at the end of the day, if that's the only two people who joined...I'd probably still be happy as a clam. We've gotta get Axl to a trainer and voice coach though.
