Prodigy neemo? Silkworms always reminded me of Prodigy. Riad sounds like Praxis and I always said Riad is like the bastard child of Crash Victim.

Ha, good catch!

Only, to me, CV goes deeper into that style and has a more effective bassline. 


Still, during Bucket's solo, Brain kills it. What a band.

They have said they get offers all the time. If there is an offer I don't doubt it, but its pretty meaningless at this point.

The point is, Axl thinks the excitable chatter has been an issue he's had with managers (Azoff, Doc McGhee, Peter Katsis?).

Axl wrote:

All these managers, they know one thing. They know that they can at least ... sell a reunion tour and get their commission. It’s just a phone call. It’s a half a day’s ... work, or however long they want to keep the bidding war going. They get their commission and they don’t care if it falls on its face.

In the same 2011 interview, Axl ruled out Gilby and Matt.

Axl wrote:

I don’t have an excitement to work with people that joined in the "Illusion" time. There’s behind the scenes that was really, really difficult there with different ones. So it’s not really even a full reunion... Because, really, you can get guys from the "Illusion" thing, but the only thing that would make it would be Duff and Slash, really. ...Steven may want it, but... it’s hard work. I’ve toured with the other guys and I’ve also seen what they’ve done since, and I just know the difficulties.

If they could stop talking trash about Axl [Rose, GN'R singer] in the press. It almost happened. The pens were ready to sign. With the 'Greatest Hits', there was a possibility [of a reunion], but there was too much stuff being said. But it was a close call.

A translation of a recent article from BILD, one of the biggest newspapers in Germany. Original here.

Welcome To The Jungle!

Currently roll over the rumors about the mega reunion of Guns N 'Roses (November Rain). The trigger was Slash (50), which last week announced that he and Axl Rose (53) have to bury the hatchet after nearly 20 years. But a woman could make plans to naught ...

Slash had left the band in 1996 in a dispute with Axl Rose, it was followed by other founding members such as Duff McKagan (51). While Slash and Duff made further solo, Axl gathered a completely new troop around and toured as Guns N 'Roses.

Now hoped the music world on the comeback of the Gunners in the original cast.

The signs are good: Axl and Duff are fantastic for years. The bassist played even with several concerts of Guns N 'Roses in the past few years again. Duff and Slash never had a problem, and after 20 years, the signs at Axl and Slash to peace. So Slash told the Swedish magazine Aftonbladet: It was probably long overdue. It is now all cool. You should let this negativity that has so long existed, go.

When asked about a possible reunion he replied: Oh, I can not answer this question. Let us leave out this subject, because you know, this question is getting old.

The question is more relevant than ever because after the two guitarists DJ Ashba and Bumblefoot have left in recent months GN'R, there is room for Slash. BILD learned: For two years, the lawyers of the musicians are already sitting on the contracts for mega comeback in (almost) original cast.

Yet but the plans have a catch: This is named Perla Ferrar (40), estranged wife of Slash. In January 2015, the couple separated and filed for divorce. The problem: There is no marriage contract between Slash and his wife. This means that the enforcement of divorce, 50% of ownership of musician you are awarded.

That is: Before the divorce is not through, Guns N 'Roses will be the reunion not proclaim otherwise Ferrar would earn vigorously at possible comeback. According to BILD sources it should come to the 2016 official live comeback. This fits well with the statements of Gunners guitarist Richard Fortus, who announced the other day in an interview with the St. Louis radio station that 2016 will be a great year for fans of Guns N Roses.

And then the fans can after 20 years finally to Paradise City...

Guns N 'Roses belong since its inception in 1985 to the greatest bands of all time although they released only four albums to their best time, they sold it more than 100 million. In 1987 she published Appetite For Destruction, the most successful debut ever (more than 35 million albums sold).

Haha that Axl fella is funny! He pulled a off a belter when he uncovered this priceless Slash parody.

You know, subconsciously, it may hap just been so.

DJ might've struck him as someone who can be more Slash than Slash.

DJ gave them the kind of person Axl's said Slash is.

It's funny. Image and playing, they were the two things that also polarized people on Robin.

I always liked Robin, both as a character and a guitar player in Guns. He brought that irreverent spirit into the music that just got go. They played AFD, but they were a distinctly different band; we could only mostly imagine how they would sound in their own work by the twisted mirror of Old Guns back catalogue. And he improved as a player so much during his time, in '06 he was on fire.

Robin used to sell t-shirts on his site, they were remnants from the '02 tour. It was a nice touch from Axl, allowing Robin and Bucket sell their shirts through the online store and Guns merch stands. That's the only instance of 'Finck Swag' I can think of.

Robin hardly ever communicated with the fans. He did issue a brief encouraging note to Guns fans on the day after Axl's Buckethead/RIR-Lisboa press release. When the '07 tour was postponed (Stinson fell off the stairs), he also reached out.

Aside the Jan '07 dates, which were covered in Axl's open letter, I believe those were the most significant cancellations, post-02. Both times, Robin felt there was a need to say something, lacking the ability to name names and set dates. People say he never interacted - he did, and he actually did it to say that he too was disappointed for things working out against Guns. It also reinforced the notion that he had faith in Guns.

The people who wanted the more-like-Slash player, who interacts regular with fans got what they wished for.

Always before careful doing that.

That's the screenshot, found it here.

On DJ's FB feed, there's a gap between posts made on July 18th and August 11th. That image came out in between, as well as his resignation letter from Guns.

He's deleted all (recent) Guns posts from his FB.

After the laughter. A slight change of tone from

The amount of confidence and trust that Axl placed in me
...genuinely heartwarming and truly career-defining.
...play these incredible songs night after night to the most enthusiastic and loving crowds.
...the friendships that were forged during that time were deep and long lasting.
...the most beautiful surprise of all was YOU... the fans.

The FB tweet is more, 'The level of abuse from everyone and (at times) Axl was all but devastating. I got called out for who I was and who I was not. You're all mad.'
