All this reunion talk reminds me of Pink Floyd. Waters would love to reunite, but Gilmour just won't let it happen.

Not exactly news-worthy, but it came up on a Google news search...
Slash Gives Blondie a Makeover
Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash shocked staff at a British radio station by defacing a picture of Blondie singer Deborah Harry.
The rocker -- who was at Virgin Radio's London headquarters being interviewed on Wednesday -- gave the Blondie star a black eye, moustache and beard when he spotted the portrait on a corridor wall.
Amazingly, station bosses saw the funny side and left the picture up.
A source tells Britain's The Sun: "Out of the blue he asked if anyone had a marker pen.
"A few minutes later he said he needed to pop to the loo. He then walked over to the painting as a runner walked past and turned to him and mouthed, 'Shhh!'"
Breakfast Show DJ Christian O'Connell says, "We're not going to bother replacing the painting. It's a great story to tell visitors."

Seems to have drawn an interesting Mygnr type debate on the website!
#1093 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash likes Disney Soundtracks » 913 weeks ago
Interesting and kind of pointless. Slash-related, nonetheless.
Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash loves listening to Walt Disney film soundtracks. The long-haired guitarist - who became the first musician to break the smoking ban when he lit up on stage at the Cardiff International Arena in June 2007 - is renowned for his love of hard rock music, but has now revealed he has a softer side. He said: "In my record collection you'll find the complete catalogues of Walt Disney music. All the classic themes - 'The Jungle Book', 'Cinderella', 'Lady and the Tramp' - the who
le lot." The 42-year-old musician - who is currently lead guitarist for Velvet Revolver - also admitted he has an unhealthy obsession with British comedienne Dawn French. He added: "I love anything with Dawn French in it. She's f***ing brilliant!" Despite revealing his unusual musical tastes, Slash - whose real name is Saul Hudson - also said he is proud of his rock 'n' roll background and his love of alcohol is down to his British roots. He said: "I was reunited with my family in the 1990s when they hung
out in the dressing room and cleaned me out of alcohol! I felt very proud I was part of this lineage of English p**sheads.Source: http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.ph … EyMTQ3ODI1
Has he been on the smack again? Slash, can you see the little green men?

As for Metallica, I know this probably wouldn't be popular, but I'd prefer either a really raw album (aka Kill em All or Ride the Lightning) or a modern version of And Justice For All. They've done their rock bit on Load and Unload.
I'm looking forward to the new Opeth Album too.
If Metallica did anything even close to ...And Justice For All I'd shit myself with joy.
I guess that means Lars having to do some practice.
#1095 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Next Chapter or the Grand Finale? » 913 weeks ago
Yeah, band cant survive another major departure. Fortus or Frank leaving means nothing, but if anyone else leaves its definitely over.
Agreed about BH. His loss was bigger than most realize.
I'm still amazed how quiet he's been on the whole subject. Not even a word through the grapevine (I thought he might have said something to one of his fans, if he speaks to them). Makes you wander whether he's holding out for royalties.

I'd hate it if we never got to hear Chinese Democracy.
I'm more then happy for the old band to reform but want to hear what Axl's got first.

...to their paychecks.
I completed the sentence for you.
I believe that about Tommy. The rest (at least to me) look like they're there because they enjoy what they're doing.
I think Ron treats it as a professional gig
Frank's living the dream
Robin probably has had quite a lot of creative input invested (which he didn't get from NIN)
Tommy sees it as a way to fund his other ambitions
Not sure about Dizzy or Chris really.
But they all probably think if this fucker gets moving they could all be big stars overnight, and getting jobs with other bands or making it alone would be more difficult.

I would have never dreamt that two years later we would still be wondering when we will see the record... And to take it another step back, think back to the 2002 tour. Could you have imagined, SIX years later we would still be waiting? Wow, we are some devoted fuckers!
It's crazy when you take a step back and think about that stuff ain't it??
Devoted or insane? lol.
Deluded.
Axl's insane
Rest of band devoted

Fingers crossed. Again.
Anyone think that Axl will speak up before the anniversary of the last 'tentative' date?
