It's his band, it's his vision. He has lots of material we haven't heard yet that he spent a lot of time on that I'm sure is very important to him. Why would he give up on all of that? How many bands 25-30 years into their career are playing half their new album when they go on tour? He obviously isn't interested in simply being a nostalgia act and there are plenty of fans that feel the same way.
Very good, you completely misinterpreted what I said!
I take nothing away from the new band being GN'R, and I haven't seen anyone say that in this topic either...
But having ex-members involved when they're (this new lineup) still trying to prove themselves as their own entity, doesn't make any sense to me.
If Axl, Duff and the new lineup are totally fine with Loaded opening for GNR, then there is nothing to be "confused" or worried about.
Sure it's a pretty unusual scenario, but it's not the first time something strange and unusual have happened in the world of GNR. Hell, they had Izzy travelling with them back in '06. It's been 5 years and nothing further came out of that. Just friends hanging and playing music together.
Maybe some fans should just stop trying to overanalize the situation. It's prolly not that complicated behind the scenes.

chances are axl wouldn't be at the venue, hell he wouldn't even be in the same state as duff while loaded are playing their opening set.
You got a point...
But on the off-chance that he IS there, that shit would be fun!
I think Axl was at the venue early in Miami. I think Eddie tweeted that he was there around 8PM...

So Axl gives a video interview with the lead guitarist, something that's not happened in decades - and apparently it pisses everyone off.
I don't think it pisses people off. To me it comes off as just plain scared! Things are moving AWAY from what certain "fans" want.
It happens everytime something remotely positive happens in the world of GNR.
As for Duff opening for GNR...
That shit is bizarre. But in a positive way! From the interviews I've seen of Duff, he strikes me as a very confident, smart and well-spoken grown-up. If he and Axl has patched things up and figured out that their friendship is bigger than GNR, I can see them giggling at the wierd idèa of them touring together!
Imagine Loaded playing It's So Easy while opening for GNR and just has the vocals start, Axl runs out and do the entire song and then splits. Duff goes: "Who the hell was THAT guy?!"
Would be awesome for the fans present at the gig.
The usual suspects on the boards would no doubt whine.
If Axl and Duff want to do this thing, I'm all for it!

Good to see the two first shows were pretty packed. Eddie tweeted something about 80% full and that he was shocked at how many young kids there were in attendance!
I want a video of Shackler's and Estranged!

Apparently a 1 hour interview with Axl and DJ will air November 11th.
Shame we gotta wait that long.
Nice! Can't wait!

GNR's official twitter quotes Eddie's tweet and adds: "let's do it!"
@gunsnroses: "@EddieTrunk: Knocked back some Mountain Dew. We are ready to rock. New life! Ready to interview everyone!" Let’s do it!
Sure looks like it's going down to me! 
Edit: I'm on my iPod copying and pasting. Didn't see your post DCK.

Anyone know who the guy in the upper right is? One of the TMS-guys?
