Stop it guys if you keep talking about a new GNR album with the old line up i'm going to have to go and take a cold shower I can't think of anything cooooler than that would be....perfect boookend to the drama too.

I don't see Baz's comment that he doesn't do music for $ and his complaints about Angel Down sales as incompatiable. He has said that instead of buying himself a ferrari he got himself a record, so he's obviously invested serious cash. Now while he may not be making creative decisions (like joining VR) based on $, you can see how he'd be annoyed for people to steal what he has made instead of buying it when its his own money up there.

Brain had a reason to want out tho...he had a family...and the band was touring...those things don't go well together. So its more plausable he would take some time off like a paternity leave kinda deal.

But this robin situation just means he is gone. Especially with the time lag there has been now. I mean if he wasn't gone...either he or the band would say he wasn't gone! But he says nothing and the band says "don't know and don't want to guess". I mean WTF is that? That means BEST CASE is he hopes he can come back to CD post NIN if Axl is still doing business stuff that long.

I can't see how anyone can think that, in light of the band admitting that even they don't know what his status is, he should be considered in until he says he is out.

I mean come on...if your band mates don't know if your in the band...that means your not in the fucking band...

Agreed...I think Trujillo is a great addition to the band...fantastic skills and good to watch....looking forward to the new album....

wow. cool news that its happening so fast.

the name change is interesting - perhaps after the GNR debacle they are sensitve to using band names after people go - or maybe its cos the new singer will not want to be associated with scott.

So what are the current rumours?

1. Cornell. Would be awesome. Although he's arogant as all hell, so would lead to more scott issues. Also everyone seems to think he won't do it.

2. Baz. I'd also like this. But it seems less likely now than a few years back as Baz has a good solo band and a record  and tour happening. Also the band previously rejected him, and he seems to have said its not happening to Axl. So i doubt that will happen.

3. Kiedis. Not sure what i think of this...his rap style thing wouldn't sit well with me outside of a funk outfit like RHCP I think..but i'd give it a listen.

4. Tosh Todd...already bounced once, plus buckcherry is recording a new album.

What are the other famous people options?
