Matt Sorum, Slash May Play With Donovan At Hall Of Fame
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upc … _fame.html
Matt Sorum has revealed that he and Slash may yet play live at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame – even though Guns N’ Roses won’t be performing.
Talking to VH1 Radio Network, the drummer says that he’s offered his services to Donovan who, like GN’R, will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame in Cleveland on April 14.
"I might play drums with Donovan. I offered my services to Donovan, because I played with him one time before, and 'Hurdy Gurdy Man' was a song he recorded that John Bonham played drums on and Jimmy Page was the guitar player. I offered Donovan that me and Slash could play that maybe, but I haven’t heard back if he wants us to do it or not."
Sorum also said he asked Slash if he’d call Axl and find out what the unpredictable singer is planning to do at the ceremony.
"Slash’s answer to me was that he spoke to Izzy [Stradlin], and Izzy wasn’t planning on coming. So I think that was like, if Izzy’s not going to come and it’s not all the original guys, then it doesn’t make sense."

Awful.
I didn't think it was possible for me to be less interested in this whole HoF thing but they've found a way for that to happen.
So true. Although GD plays a little part in this. What happened and didn't happen in the past few weeks just turned it into another sad and boring episode of the whole GN'R drama. They're repeating themselves, just the scene is changing a little bit.

Why don't you, instead of adding further fuel to the fire, just keep your mouth shut and let it go when people post silly things?
Two wrongs doesn't make a right.
I usually keep my mouth shut 9 out of 10 times when you post silly things, which often happen daily.
Are you kidding? Don't try to be the judge here, when you are making shit up hour by hour. You have problems with the reality, but tolerate and support the la-la-landish comments by your zealot tribe. You should have aimed your words to Bromero - in that cause, you'd have an ounce of credibility. Unfortuately you don't have any. Shut up.

April Fools kind of loses its punch two days too late. Seriously though, Skid Row with Baz is less likely than a GNR reunion.
I think it's more likely, cause they have less money. And Baz's opinion changes with the wind. The bigger problem is the world doesn't really care about them anymore. I was a fan and I'm still a fan, I'd go to see them, but don't feel any excitement.

Well, so Slash fucked it up. Finally, the truth arrived. Axlism at its best.

Did I miss something? When did he say he didn't want to do it? When did he actually open his mouth about it at all?
But even so, let me call his shrink and get back to you. This requires some hardcore Axl mentality Freudian research or something.
Calm down, I only asked how you read Axl's words. Since you wrote this, if you remember:
Axl did so when it was first announced, still remember the humble appreciation during one of the shows. Then he said he wasn't sure what was going to happen, but left most doors open and didn't state anything which could be regarded as negative. Unless I missed a rant or something.
What makes you think he left the doors open for a performance? What that Axl said? His interviews are always vague, he barely gives a straight answer. He was straight and consistent about only one thing in the past 15 years: he hates Slash and doesn't wanna play with him again. Never. Last time he was softer, but was still talking about the 'too high price'. I'm really curious what makes you think he'd do a one-off RRHOF reunion show.
Don't get me wrong, as some will probably start a flame war against me that I wanna blame Axl for the possible no-performance. No. I'd be surprised if they would be playing. That's all. We all know their positions about a reunion from the past years. I've always felt (and expressed) that five (+2) of them onstage together, accepting the award would be good enough for me. Anything more by them would be a pleasent surprise. But I still don't find any quote, or even a vague comment by Axl that he's not against a performance with Slash. As I read his words, he'd be okay with accepting the award with him. That'd be good enough for me. Babysteps, that wouldn't lead to a reunion, but would probably lead to a more peaceful and civilized post-GN'R world.

I know. I can't fucking stand it anymore. All it'd take is Axl putting this to bed, but he's too pussy. Even if he doesn't want to reunite, he should LEAD and be on top of this shit and not send the hired Guns out there to handle PR with the ACTUAL Guns back in the day.
I mean seriously, what the FUCK? That alone is just a mindfuck.
Ron is total class, and Steven was an ass, but at the same time Steven Adler having to apologize to a new Gunner about Guns N' Roses is... unacceptable on some level in some universe.
Agree.
Steven came out and spoke whatever he had to say.
Duff came out and told us about his thought and feelings and positiion.
So did Slash.
So did Matt.
Axl, Izzy and Dizzy. Please man up and state where you stand. Now. Cause even DJ was faster than you.

You can't just call Axl. Everything goes through the housekeeper and probably other people before that as well.
True.
It is pathetic though that none of them even attempt to reach out to him. On the flip sad it's pathetic that Axl makes them come to him. Why can't he reach out to Slash or Matt or Duff and say something.
THEY ARE ALL FUCKING PUSSIES
the "most dangerous band in the world" reduced to a bunch of fucking pussies.
Agree. Although I remember one of the lawsuits, when they sued cause they didn't get their money off the back catalogue or what, and couldn't have reached Axl. Axl later said that they were pussies, who didn't call him, just sued. I really wonder how much of this shit is caused by those hangers-on, who bodyguard Axl's life and don't let the old members contact him and then lie to Axl that nobody called them. A possible scenario.
Anyway, the should try to call Axl, at least his housekeeper. Cause in this case they'd give it a try. Izzy's a moron though if he doesn't plan to attend. I think they got tired of all this bullshit, drama and nonsense. Cannot talk to Axl just an arrogant woman, Izzy's hesitating to show up, Steven's talking nonsense... I understand Duff that he doesn't want to make phone calls and convince people. They are grown man. If that's all what they can do, then fuck it. Forever.

He took the brand, but couldn't take away the fame from Slash.
I think faldor listed some things that could have pissed Axl off. True. But. I think any of us, even the _usual suspects_ could make a much longer and dirtier list from Axl, and most of it would date earlier than Slash's moves. Just sayin'
