#1171 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron leaving the band after Vegas? » 631 weeks ago
Eddie Trunks comments (sources telling him a reunion has been put in motion but may not be imminent) below at 28:02. Credit to Frontman on MyGNR for pointing it out.
I agree that it was probably less of a coincidence that Duff and Axl met in London. A savvy manager would know that Duff would be the best potential bridge between Slash and Axl, and the best way to grease the skids.
I'm still a bit surprised that Duff is so interested in rejoining the band. I'm guessing it's a combination of wanting to play with his old bud, but also, and maybe mostly, he wants to restore a little bit of the GNR legacy. He's been back to the top with Velvet Revolver, toured the world fronting his own band Loaded, written for Playboy...what else is there left to do?
#1172 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rock in Rio - Las Vegas 2015 (Any chance?) » 632 weeks ago
Random thought just occurred to me after your "stripped down" comment, Otto. Axl is often times accused of doing these tours and festivals as cash grabs. I agree with that to some extent. But if Axl was really looking for a cash grab, what is he doing having 8 band members on the payroll? What's with all the pyro?
Personally, I'd love a stripped down tour and actually think it would go a long way to re-establishing the band. It's hard to build familiarity with these band members for casual fans because there are just too many members to keep track of.

Well, in a new Ashba interview, he claims GNR plan to do quite a bit of touring in 2015:
LRI: Does Guns N’ Roses have any recording or touring plans in 2015?
DJ: We are planning on doing quite a bit of touring this coming year. The focus is getting in a studio and putting together what we all feel is the best Guns N’ Roses record. Lack of material is not an issue. We have tons of stuff. Axl has two full albums that he has recorded, he has played me a bunch of songs off of that, are incredible! I can’t wait to get in and kind of dive into those as well. I’ve written tons of songs & demoed up a bunch of stuff. I think it is just a matter of getting in & sifting through the piles of material.

Rock in Rio is happening in Las Vegas next year with Metallica, Linkin Park, No Doubt, and Taylor Swift all confirmed.
Given the obvious ties between Axl with Rio and Las Vegas, it seems like a natural fit. Any chance they get added to the bill? I think the one big difference is that, yes, Axl can draw a good crowd at the House of Blues, but has the shine (if ever there was any) worn off the current lineup to the point where they couldn't even be considered a viable headliner?

The thing is if you like Slash you're going to enjoy the album. But like all Slash albums (Snakepit and Solo I mean) they can only go so far.

Great review. Pretty much on par with my song by song and generally how I feel about the whole album.

I've got to imagine Itunes downloads where you purchase the entire album are counted.

Evo 5 lookin good!
#1180 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR Evo Updates » 633 weeks ago
I like it, but I also really liked having the Slash discussion in the main board. Nothing going on with GNR so why not just merge the ex-members discussion with the main GNR forum?
Just a thought.
