Slash Wants Guns N' Roses To Reunite?

Slash has admitted that he wants his band Velvet Revolver to stop playing songs by Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots, and would instead like the two groups to reunite, reports Y! Music.

Slash also announced to Chilean magazine Rock & Pop that he intends to drop Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots songs from the setlist later this year.

However speaking to the Brazilian branch of MTV, the star, who left Guns N' Roses in 1996, said reunions of both bands are a possibility.

"I'm not saying never," he explained. "You know, I was saying it would be a good idea to get, just for a couple of shows, to get the original STP and the original Guns N' Roses just to do a couple of shows for the fun of it."

Meanwhile, Velvet Revolver's U.S. tour begins on May 4, though their second album Libertad has had its release pushed back from early June this year to July 3.

The first single from the LP will be called "She Builds Quick Machines."

Would be a good idea, but if Chinese Democracy becomes a success will Axl want a reunion? Why get the old guys back when his new bunch has proven to be successful? But if CD is a flop dont be surprised to see it happen.

[DarkBlueIce]

i say it would be sweet if all 3 bands co-existed

It's all wishful thinking. Axl Rose is far too flaky and unreliable to put any stock in getting GNR back together.

[_Lewis]

Man, that would rock it GnR got back together,

[TJ1991]

GnR reforming is something I really want to happen, but I'd be massively disappointed if they did... Its the same with The Libertines, the anticipation is so much better than the reality would be if it ever happened.

[LeZeNkO]

This has been going on for nearly 11 years... OH WAIT BREAKING NEWS! LED ZEPPLIN JUST REFORMED even though Jhon Bonham is dead :|. Thats the chances.

[595Metallica595]

yeah, I dont think axl would be willing to do anything...

[mercurymay]

Alright here's what I think:

- I know nothing about STP, so I don't care if Scott leaves or not.

- I love VR

- GN'R is amazing. It's not GN'R without Slash, but Axl Rose has changed way too much since UYI I and II to be stable enough.

It would be the best thing in the world if they all got back together. Here's the lineup I want:

Axl Rose
Slash
Gilby Clarke
Izzy Stradlin
Duff McKagen
Dizzy Reed
Teddy ZigZag
Steven Adler AND Matt Sorum

If they went on a world tour like that, with their old backup singers from the UYI Tour, I think that would be way amazing.

But like Dirk Gently said, it's wishful thinking.

[Pedro14]

It would be great. But would axl rose and Slash get along? Although i love VR and dont want them 2 quit.

Chinese Democracy can't flop. Wha? Sure, it might not live up to expectations - but whenever it comes out, you and I both know there will be a million people ready to buy it on Day 1 on principle alone (myself included). There will be people who say its GNR and great GNR and people who say its just Axl and bad Axl.

What I'm trying to say is, Powerslave, that the GNR CD has no effects on a reunion.



It does depend on Axl's unstable humility. It doesn't depend on his unstable CD release.

[geetarmuzikplyr]

this would be amazing... but axl's voice is nothing like on appetite for destruction... but still... this would be amazing...

[marvelboy_04]

dude, hes spent so much money on this album,just going platinum might not cover it.

and i think i might predict a gnr reunion someday, but i doubt soon.

[I_Forgot_My_Pen]

If GNR reunited it would be the most anti-climactic reunion in the history of music. They would only be a glorified cover band. Much more encouraged about a STP reunion by far

[Scourge441]

Well, just about every GNR fan I've talked to seems to think that Chinese Democracy will be a huge disaster. I think you overestimate how much people are anticipating this album.

If Axl Rose reunites the old GNR, it'll be because he's broke.

[sowhat360]

lets not forget one thing, the whole reason they broke up in the first place was because of money. axl will want to do what gets him paid. there's no question he will be more successful with the original band. with that said, how badass would it be to go to a GNR/STP show and have velvet revolver open.

[spunkeymonkey36]

Sometimes I think this Chinese Democracy thing is just a publicity stunt, and that the old Guns have planned this since the beginning. After Guns N Roses have their 'break' they re unite with mass hype and publicity. Sounds ridiculous but thinking about it and looking at celebrities these days it's probably not a too unbelievable theory. It would be awesome though.

how about we wait to see if the album even does come out before we start saying if it will successful or not...

[Schecter923]

Never have been a VR fan. Ive always wondered how two greats like Slash and Scott could make such mediocre songs. Anyway, if GNR reunited, I think that would be pretty cool. Im not a huge fan, so I wouldn't run outside and scream to the world. but if STP reunited I would cry tears of joy, because STP is probably one of my favorite bands.

[v_gamer]

Everyone said that Rage would never get back together either but there doing a couple shows andits going to be huge. It just takes some time. Also, everyone says axle is a flake but so is slash, he's been saying that they'll never get back together and now suddenly he's like, well it could happen. That being said, i would deffinetly go and see them....

[bikerboyjosh]

GNR/STP show and have velvet revolver open

now that would be ace!

[guitaringsailor]

GnR back together would be amazing it's a great band and VR really isn't my favorite either because Slash's bluesy tone doesn't come through as it did with GnR and thats really whats making him such an awesome guitarist, but I agree it might be wishful thinking sad but true

How could you say they broke up over money? The last thing Axl has been doing in the last umpteen years is earn money. He even tried stopping the greatest hits cd, which was nothing but geffen trying to earn something off their band. Anyway, Slash said a couple of shows, not a full blown reunion. So no one has to leave no one. Although, if they do this I hope they use Steven Adler, imo, he is way better then matt. And I also hope they leave gilby behind too. Forget the replacements they used for the illusions tour, bring back the original appetite line up.

[TheFishMan92]

The reason Chinese Democracy won't fail is like St. Anger, everyone'll buy it because of previous albums, and some (like myself) will go *blurgh*

Well Chinese Democracy has to be out first before it can be a succes or before it could flop!!!

[TheRedDevil]

Axl's too differnt for a great GnR but would be nice too see. Cant see C/D doing too well even if millions go out and buy/ theyre missing slash!!!

[CosyNinja]

I dont mean to double post. But I know Axl would totally be for this, especially if it doesn't mean giving up his Chinese democracy line up. Don't forget that Steven and Axl had discussed a reunion a couple of months ago. And even the Chinese democracy line up stated that they would love to see the original line up again. Personally, I believe it was Slash holding back on the idea up until now. Axl never wanted Slash to leave in the first place.

[sturm]

scrrrrreeewwww this... axl would never agree.. he'd still be playing with himself fantasizing over when chinese democracy's gonna be released...
actually i really hope buckethead goes back the GnR... he's really the most innovative player i've heard... nothing against slash though.. he can let rip a mean solo too...

[nakki]

Oh yeah, please. Reunite. That would be fantastic. =)

ROCK ON!

[Jopa_92]

I agree it would be great if GN'R comes back with original members. But I think it 's not going to happen... ever... =(

[duncang]

To be honest I don't care about GnR or Velvet Revolver anymore (new VR single is pathetic) but if they reunited I'd go see them.

[guitar_player5]

What is Axl doing now?

[AdamDK]

If this happend, it'd be great. I highly doubt it will. I on't think these guys could work together again in the studios.

[Kingyem0c0re]

If Axl Rose reunites the old GNR, it'll be because he's broke.

Thats the reason most bands come out of retirement.
I could see that happening in about 10 years or so but not anytime soon.

[Donkey Fly]

I've lost all respect and don't really like GNR at all now. The music is poor and Axl has a very annoying voice and attitude. I don't see them ever being as good as they were back in the Appetite for Destruction days and i don't see them ever reuniting.

[redhotsexmagic]

itd' be pretty cool to see them reunite with their respective bands..the DeLeo brothers (from STP) new band army of anyone is pretty weak, and I saw GnR last october at MSG and it wasn't very impressive to me at all..Theres 3 guitarists that seem to be battling for a lead spot and its just stupid imo. However idk how itd work out w/ the original guns lineup. would be interesting to see what unfolds over the next few years

[slash_015]

O.O....oh man. If the old gunners reunite...i would cry. Oh man...That would be ****in' great!

[Viva-la-mark]

I'd LOVE Stone Temple Pilots to get back together and make more stuff, highly doubt it though. Not fussed on GnR's to be honest.

[jcthomasva]

Slash should lay off the cannabis.

Ehm.... Why would Gilby play? He wasn't even a member according to the other members, he was just a filler for Izzy, he didn't write on riff for the band and didn't record anything that hadn't been written and been recorded before. He sucks.
GN'R will always be Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin, Slash, Duff MacKagan and Axl Rose.
No Gilby, No Matt sorum and certainly not a Dizzy ****ing Reed.

[supersonic23]

i think STP has a better chance of reforming than GNR

Chinese Democracy has to be released first!!!... which is never going to happen :P:

[Korzack]

Whoa whoa whoa!
the fellow did say only a few one-off shows. Well that makes another member who's hinted at it (Adler's said a similar thing a few times)... My opinion? Give it 12 months, then read the music news... it might give you a sense of deja vu'. Izzy plays the odd set with the current setup anyways, so I'd guess he'd be ok to go, which would be 3. Given the fact it's his band to him, Axl'll no doubts agree, which just leaves Duff, and they may get Gilby back to fill the extra gitar parts in, after Supernova the guy could do with some work.
As for STP? I've never heard any of their stuff, but let's be fair - it Would be a great gig. Would definately fill out any & every stadium they choose to go to.
I agree though, this whole sorry GnR debacle has limped & bled its backside for far too long. What they need to do is call one big press conference & deal with EVERYTHING that's circling about the band. Then we can all get on to remembering what was best about the guns - Well, I don't even need to finish that one.
Of course, it'd be one ****ing Hell of a way to promote the album releases if its timed right.

[justinR951]

nothing's gonna happen.. just like van halen

[Merten]

i am a verry big fan of the OLD GNR but the new axl sucks major ass! leave him and his stupid skater-boy band alone and just continue with the gay singer, cuz actually it's verry verry cool music. man i love velvet and i love scott in a non gay way.

[Ferrarone]

Stone Temple Pilots

[The Virtuoso]

Stop bashing Chinese Democracy until it actually comes out! It had and has two great players working on it: Buckethead and now Ron Thal. I believe this album has a good chance to be successful just because of these two (and the fact that Axl actually chose them!).

[Baz1211991]

so many people are saying that they want thgis but they dont want VR to split, READ people! he said a 'few shows'. If this happens they'll play a few shows then he'll go back to VR.

[Dethroll66]

Lets get it together boys. GNR happening again would be a dream come true.

[McSteve]

GN'R originally broke up cus they stopped doin the Rock n' Roll hits as Slash wanted & went tooo techno.. if Axl drops the techno crap and returns to rock n roll... the reunion would be on.

[AlchoholicA]

stone temple pilots reunite?? that would be friggen AWESOME

[wannabe jesus]

It'll probably never happen IMO. Even if it does happen, Axl's voice just isn't what it used to be, I watched a performance of Rocket Queen from 2002 and it was awful, plus he looks kinda freaky now. But maybe if Axl had a ciggy and a drink with Slash it would restore him to his former self. If all the band were willing it'd be worth a shot though.

[bwhelan]

rock no guns and roses
you guys are awesome
i dont really know slash though

[dougarini]

i would pay so much ****in money to see the original gnr play together... so much money...

[dimebag87]

That would be awsome if they got back together!

[GNRrockslife]

This is why everyone who was in the original lineup avoids reunion questions; one of them will say its a possibility and then the whole internet takes it as meaning somethings in the works. NOTHING is in the works, GN'R is touring, VR is touring, end of story. He only said he's open to the possibility of a reunion

[Metal Zone12]

Please god let GnR reunite!

[BlackLuster]

Ah I would love that so much.
I hope something comes of this

[Waterboy799]

that'd be pretty awsome actually, buut because Axl is just so damn spiteful, i still don't see it happening.

[BlackLuster]

...certainly not a Dizzy ****ing Reed.

Amen to that!!!
Although Matt was a good drummer, he should be there

[backtobasic]

yeah it would be cool to see all the bands co-exist.

[break-me-in]

It would rock if GNR got back, but only if they completely rewrote Chinese Democracy then gave it a real release date.

[FretboardToAsh]

and of course for the fun would never mean that it's free

[limefan913]

Well considering no one saw The Police reuniting, and they did, GNR is possible. It'd be HUGE too. Not even an album, just a single tour.

Oh and Steven Adler can't ever join again, he can't play drums anymore. Matt Sorum helped write Use Your Illusion and did record ALL the drum tracks for it, and should be considered a member. He did more studio material than Steven Adler, though I'm certainly not going to diss him either. Regardless, I'd pay good money to see GNR live, I was WAY too young to have seen them when they were around (I was barely born when Use Your Illusion I & II came out), so I'd be awesome for them to tour again.

[deadlyMETAL]

So glad Slash has come out and actually said he wants this...

[yakreig]

chinese democracy is gunna suck, just face it, the solos wont have the passion or "umph" behind them because slash isnt doing it. a reunion would be great but as far as i can see it wouldnt happen for at least another 10 years like other people said. original lineup is highly unlikely due to steven adler.

[Metal_Militia15]

Axl won't do this..at least not yet, simply because:

1- He's been working on Chinese Democracy for so long, he isn't just going to ditch it a year later for GNR.

2-He's an ass.

[yakreig]

lol i agree with metal militia

Spam deleted

[Thomaslikespigs]

Yes. I see it now. GNR is going to reunite and Chinese Democracy will be released. There will be peace in the middle east, and then the world will come to a complete end.
ps slash rocks.

[Infuscos]

However amazing it would be for Gnr to reunite, I doubt it would ever work, especially with Axl's attitude, its a shame how negative these comments are (including mine) But it seems very unrealistic.

[Andras5soul]

never gonna happen

[mousepad]

quit putting words in his mouth-he said itd be cool if it happened. you make it sound like he said "my life will suck unless gnr and stp reunite for a full fledged reunion tour, followed by albums after album of great songs!"

[Fredde_]

i wish that Guns N' Roses to reunite an come tho sweden that schoud be so cool

[Dahlström]

I agree with Fredde_

1. Chinese Democracy is a myth and nothing more.
2. Anything Axl Rose decides upon including members nowadays is a bad decision. See through the fog my friend!

GnR getting back together? Could slash and axl co-exist?

[bushey37]

there's a better chance of getting GNR back together than STP(who i would much rather see). The DeLeo's are happy in Army of Anyone, no way there gonna leave Richard Patrick for Scott. Not after all the shit he put them through. You may get GNR but a GNR and STP reunion ain't gonna happen anytime soon. And guess what- Axl is gonna promote Chinese Democracy and VR's got like what, at least one more album on their contract. If this happens it will be next decade or maybe beyond that.

[_Lewis]

Chinese Democracy has finished recording and is being released (in the UK) on the 18th of september, or so the HMV site says. Newgnr.com has also heard from Bumblefoot that they have finished all the recording for the album.

Steven Alder has also suggested that Guns get back together and do a reunion tour.

[whitebluesboy]

Axl's musical vision has changed too dramatically for an old gun n' roses reuinon to happen. I saw a recent concert video and he has probably 10 different instruments for like one song, except it was a normal song it was like an "EPIC". I'll still pray for it though.

[whitebluesboy]

Also I have heard a leaked complete mastered version of Chinese Democracy and it really isn't bad. Yeah its WAY different, but it isn't neccessarily bad.

[wabusy3]

Idk, if they reunited it wouldn't be as good as they were in the old days, but it will be better then VR and the new GNR and all that chinese democracy crap. But it seems like every band is reuniting now a day. It was cool back then but now it's just a trend that everyone is doing and when a band breaks up now a days people don't think it's the end anymore. This is why I have respect for bands like led zeppelin, like think of how much money they would make if they did a reunion tour today, it would make more money then the recent stones tour that was the greatest profit tour of all time. But this won't happen simply because you can't replace John Bonham. Well except for Neil Peart maybe and his son perhaps, but it still won't be the same. The stars of most bands today are the singers and the lead guitarist, but in zeppelin, everybody was a star. So anyways, if the old gnr got back together, it would just be overhyped and probably really expensive.

[DaveGilmour1189]

it seems like everyone's doing reunions. i like VR, but a GnR renions for a couple shows would be good.

But this started with axle, if anyone needs to get onboard more than anyone its him.

[aguynamedlarry]

what!?

[wabusy3]

but what would be cool would be a tour with stp opening, then vr, then GNR, then RATM, then audioslave and then soundgarden closing, lol but this will probably never happen.

A) Everybody is doing reunions because THEY LIKE THEIR OLD BANDS BETTER and B) if anyone wants to know what Chinese Democracy sounds like, think of maybe like Linkin Park - rapping + axl = Chinese Democracy

[CosyNinja]

Your basing that on one song. Better. However, the rest is very original and unique. I want to mention that steven adler is far superior drummer than matt. And the myth that steven cant play anymore is bogus. Just surf youtube and watch his recent performances. He 's top notch and hasn't missed a beat. I think steven must be part of this for a true reunion.

[metal@hart11]

As for STP? I've never heard any of their stuff

are you kidding me? download immediately i think you'll enjoy. waaaaay better then VR! VR is a good band but it still just doesnt seem right to me. and i heard that the guitarists of STP's new band is pretty sick!

[killswitchCurse]

lol i wouldnt be surpised if Chinese Demmocracy is a publicity stunt lol that would be pretty hilarious, that i'll admit, however i would be very pissed as welland considering im not a huge GNR fan thats saying a lot its been over 11 years now, oh and by the way i dont think the album will be a huge hit at all, i've heard most of the songs in the album so far and i like 2 of them Madagascar and Better, so the album i say its gonna be crap like mega crap crap, its nothing like old GNR im done waiting for that album i dont even care anymore.

[MTVget0FFtheAIR]

....this theory that they could have planning from the begininning is far fetched...but it could be the only prank that could be more epic than the Cas banning april fools joke...it's our only hope

[tboneargentina]

If the money's right, it'll happen.

Checked.

Yeah I heard alot of the new GNR songs and they all suck, nowhere near as good as the old GNR and I'm not even a big fan og the old gnr anymore. Axl should just get limp bizkit as his backing band, shitty musicians should stick together.

[Baltic Ave.]

Chinese Democracy IS a publicity stunt no doubt about it. I think a reunion would be awesome for STP and GNR but you gotta look at Axl's unstable attitude and Weiland and the rest of STP's hatred towards each other....I'm not saying it's not possible for a reunion it would be totally great.....

And I highly doubt there is some conspiracy behind GNR's break up plotted from day one.

[bucky_2300]

GN'R's time has come and gone.

[guitar_lvr]

i have a feeling that this article is total bullsh*t

[soul_power]

Personally i dont give a **** what happens to GNR but if STP got back together then yeah, that would be pretty kickass.

[CryoCarnage]

its total bs.

[I_Collect_Picks]

Well the new Guns n Roses r coming to New Zealand for a gig...

Please explain whats up with GnR..theyre slpit up but coming to play??

maybe if GnR reunites before chinese democracy comes out, slash will cut 5 years out of the wait for Chinese democracy.

what are the odds of chinese democracy being a hit? i mean, if it takes you 13 years to make an album and release it, then you're putting too much into it. i have a feeling it'll sound really processed and unnatural.... but i'll wait until it actually comes out and give it a listen anyway, whenever that'll be.

[blakeeaton]

I'd sincerely like to see a Guns N' Roses reunion tour.

[ShotWithinReaso]

imo gnr will do a come bak gig and sync libitad release and c/d release loads of peeps will buy them both and evry1 will be happy ps i hope the original gnr do resurface cus i was only 4 wen slash left so i was unable to see any of their gigs

[Imperial]

I really want GNR to reunite, i wouldnt hesitate to see a show with the original lineup.

Guns N' Roses are:

Axl Rose
Slash
Izzy Stradlin
Duff McKagen
Steven Adler

To be honest it does seem strange that Slash wants a reunion as he told Axl he would only come back if Axl agreed to play hard rock, not the industrial/synthetic genre he does now.

[slashhudson09]

First of all, this will never happen. Slash and Duff hate Axl, and so does Matt(who i consider a member since he recorded more than adler and is a better drummer) the reason they left is that axl is powerhungry. adler is to strung out to take anything he says seriously. But if by some miracle this did happen it would be the most f***** kickass reunion ever.

[Fender_Tele'71]

sweet!!!!! please do it Guns N' Roses!!!!!

[minivia]

gnr reuinting is as big as the second coming of christ hell is it the second coming of christ

Checked.

[Maiden2]

you speak like chinese deomcracy is ever gonna come out.
Lollll.


anyways, VR IS a perfect band cuz they have talent, and there singer is a self consumed jackass

[Edgar_guitarguy]

I hope GNR would think about it, i like the idea and they would have a woeld tour maybe

[purplehaze245]

ill believe it when i see it

[metalisimortal]

God bless Slash, everyone from the ACTUAL GN'R and, no matter how much of a douche he his, god bless Axl

[mitch311]

If they reunite it should be Matt Sorum instead of Steven Adler.

[epiphonedemon]

I think Axle and Slash and the rest of the guys should get that lame ass theropist Metallica had. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a freakin joke...James...I need to tell you how I feel..(Lars)...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I can hear Axle tellin Slash how he feels...with a mic stand!!! And Slash expressing his feelings with a Les Paul over Axles head. GnR and STP should give a reunion a shot...if we don't get a great concert, we will get one helluva good brawl!!

[MX4Life]

I can see it now...

Reunion occurs -> Chinese Democracy delays because Axl will want to do all the songs with the real band.

[fabs1925]

forget GnR....STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
if they reunited it would be incredible

i don't get why ppl actually care about Chinese Democracy, but yeah a GNR reunion would be great (but expensive). But take Pink Floyd for example, they said they wanted to go on a reunion tour, but just as Axl and Slash don't get along, Waters and Gilmour don't get along, and did the Pink Floyd reunion tour happen? heeeellz nooooo...so why would Axl and Slash be any different?

[f***music]

This reunion has as much chance of happening as does Chinese Democracy actually being released. Never gonna happen. If Axl does release that album (notice I said Axl not Gn R), it better be pretty close to perfect sayin hes been workin on that shit for about ten years now. What a dipshit. Chinese Democracy is a fictitious story. Bout as true as Star Wars.

[twitch1331]

Every bit of news is just as pointless as the last...

So he said it would be cool, but the odds of it happening? Hmmm...We'll see about that.

[trivium 1123]

Yea it doesnt seem like it would really happen but it would awesome if it did

Axl is a faggot IMO.

amen brother. as much as i am in love with the original GnR line up, how amazing would it be if Slash and Buckethead we both in GnR @ the same time?? i think that would be sex. pure sex in the form of music.

[All0utR0ck]

Yea people should take a listen to Army of Anyone (Ex STP Guitarists+ Richard Patrick and a sick ass drummer) They are waaaay better than VR.

[All0utR0ck]

(Sorry for double post)

I love VR btw I just take AOA FTW

[BlindMelon45]

i could give a shit less of GNR reuunited, i never really liked them.. but an STP reunion would be sweet ass.

[BlindMelon45]

and yes Axl is a ****en fag who cant sing, stops in the middle of songs to kick some guys who were fighting at a ROCK concert, and cancels a shit load of shows which prolly pisses off u fans who bought tickets and shit. Fuck Axl

but what would be cool would be a tour with stp opening, then vr, then GNR, then RATM, then audioslave and then soundgarden closing, lol but this will probably never happen.

now THAT my friend would be one hell of a show

[jhjps]

Slash should just show up and walk on stage at some GN'R concert, even if axl didn't want him there the new guitarists would let him play

[SlashWannabe1]

These STP flag waving faggots saying a STP reunion tour better than GNR need to get the shit kicked out of them. The STP guitarist suck donkey dicks and couldnt solo if their lives depended on it. The proof is in the record sales GNR had with Slash and original line up. VR is better than STP ever was face the facts dip shits.

[MylesPetro]

Guns N' Roses (the original lineup) seem like they're kind of past their prime. I think Axl should have just ended it when Slash and company left. He seems kind of pathetic now.

[MylesPetro]

Apologies for the double post, but to the guy who said the guys from STP couldn't solo, that has nothing to do with record sales. Look at the Beatles. Jesus Christ, that was the most ignorant statement I've ever read

[logan_R]

think slash is gettin jealus w/ axl and his band. currently there really high when it comes to ticket sales and every thing like that, and i think slash wants a part of that. slash go for it!!!

[aero-all]

Guns n' Roses reunion!!! by undies are brown!!

[The Face Melter]

If they get back together and play all that new techno bullshit I'm gonna shoot someone..

[ibanezguitarguy]

Gnr was better off with slash in the first place

[The Virtuoso]

^^^The Beatles solo, not in every song but they solo.

[jumpmanhat]

even if they do reunite, Axl wouldnt show up anyways, more riots

Would be a good idea, but if Chinese Democracy becomes a success will Axl want a reunion? Why get the old guys back when his new bunch has proven to be successful? But if CD is a flop dont be surprised to see it happen.

have you heard the new stuff, you cant tell me you think thats gonna make it on the radio today, in our local station's call in over here in columbus the fans were brutal to the new song and absolutely hated it. No way this album is going to make it big, but a reunion would be very cool. I have always regreted that I was born too young to see a "real" GnR show, and this could be my opportunity to do so. Now if only that bastard Nathan Gale hadn't murdered Dimebag I could be hoping for a Pantera reunion as well.

[Cheesepuff]

Yeah!! Now the game is afoot! Time will tell, gentlemen. And we all know that Axl will never release Chinese Democracy on his own because he's a perfectionist whos insecure about his own music. Some tricky rich bastard has to set up a STP->VR->GnR show and not let the new GnR come so that Axl and Slash will be forced to play together. AND THEN, my fine gentlemen, we shall be victorious!

wow...*calms down* i'm gonna try real hard to be nice here...but i completely disagree with that statement above me, jealousy has nothing to do with it, especially with VR having good success with their own shows and having their own two albums to axl's...none...anyways, i'd love to see a reunion shows, but slash isn't suggesting anymore than it would be cool do to a couple shows just for the fun of it, i'm sure that that's always been a possibility, it would be pretty cool though, i'd go

[sjaxemaster07]

can anyone remember why everyone except axl left gunners ? well i do,its because axl was a control freak,arsehole,jerk off, cock head, **** face !
it was izzy first on the illusion tour,he had enough of axl being in control,then duff,slash,and matt left because they had enough of axl playing god in the studio. axl kicked gilby out of the band too. who the hell does he think he is ? he sux and always has,the only good thing he ever did was contribute to a lot of gunners original material,he was a good song writer on the albums they did and that was it,he cant sing for shit,especially live.

[Roketman]

^^ What he said, Axl is the biggest joke in Rock & Roll, closely followed by Dave Mustaine in the number 2 position!

[rock_or_roll]

Izz:
certainly not a Dizzy ****ing Reed.

hey hes a realy good keyboard player, he adds 2 the bluesiness of the band n he was meant 2 be there from the beginning of gnr but he was in an accident or somethin, i agree with the rest of wat u say, but i think dizzy deserves 2 be part of it im all 4 reunion \m/

[METAL MILITIA1]

as awsome as a GNR reunion would be it's naver going to happen

Chinese Democracy can't flop. Wha? Sure, it might not live up to expectations - but whenever it comes out, you and I both know there will be a million people ready to buy it on Day 1 on principle alone (myself included).
Well, just about every GNR fan I've talked to seems to think that Chinese Democracy will be a huge disaster. I think you overestimate how much people are anticipating this album.

If Axl Rose reunites the old GNR, it'll be because he's broke.

agreed!

i am a verry big fan of the OLD GNR but the new axl sucks major ass! leave him and his stupid skater-boy band alone and just continue with the gay singer, cuz actually it's verry verry cool music. man i love velvet and i love scott in a non gay way.

the only 2 person which i like in axl's new band is Bumblefoot (****in' freak ) and richard fortus (he worked with n'sync lol)

Robin Finck is an Asshole. He's so purely bad. Richard Fortus is a way better Lead-Guitarist than Robin Finck!

To be frank, I don't want that to happen.

Velvet Revolver and the new Guns and Roses are both fantastic bands, I like things the way they are

[SlashNX]

Guns n Roses reunion would be great.... but it wouldnt quite be the same... Axl's new look hardly matches the Old GNR style, plus Axl doesnt really dig the whole "most dangerous badn in the world" vibe anymore... hes a Safe Axl now!

[Musicizmylife]

Ok, not to burst any bubbles here, but a GNR reunion would promote so many things, the new GNR's new album, and the new Velvet Revolver album. Not to mention make millions of dollars and make millions of true GNR fans (most of whom still have mullets) extremely excited. The problem being is that GNR wouldn't be GNR if it wasn't for the cut throat f*ck you attitude. Slash wouldn't even fight a man in a pink shirt (e.g. Tommy Hilfiger), Slash is a calmer Slash, and no one is really doped up and drunk anymore. As for STP, if GNR reunited, who would honestly care. STP just kind of fell into the grunge pop bull sh*t of the 90's. They were not, and I repeat, were NOT revolutionary artists like GNR.

Well the new Guns n Roses r coming to New Zealand for a gig...

Please explain whats up with GnR..theyre slpit up but coming to play??

Guns n Roses isn't split up. They're just as good as split up because Guns n Roses is nothing without Slash.

[darkjediNROCKer]

I SUPPORT SLASH ALL THE WAY!!!!!

[holywars_guitar]

it would be azzum if they reunited and did a world tour and when i mean world i mean everywhere escpecially places in the middle east like U.A.E, Dubai

[nightwalker903]

wait a minute, is it actually closer to happening now.
month or so ago steve claimed him and axl had sorted some stuff out and also claims he talked to rest of the old band and they said it would be good. that got labelled as bullshit by alot of people, now slash is admitting he wants it. izzy plays shows with them already, well last year he did.
is guns n roses actually reforming? i god damn hope so

[One Inch Man]

Would be a good idea, but if Chinese Democracy becomes a success will Axl want a reunion?

it would be a great surprise if Chinese Democracy will be released in this decade. It would be very cool if GnR reunite!

[Children Of War]

I am a huge fan of the 90'-96' Age GnR, Slash has really influenced me on Guitar playing and such and such....


Anyway, on topic, I do believe that this would happen, I mean, it doesnt mean the older line-up of GnR' again, however, I see some kickass shows coming up though....


But then again, the most kickass thing that would happen is the reformation of The older GnR! and China Turning into a Democratic Country!

[jynx87]

Not again!! most of you guys really have no idea how the record industry works do you? this is a f**kin publicity act. tink logically here, VR have a new album coming out, hmmmmm what could they possibly do to make people start thinkin about it huh? BINGO its a stunt fools!!! the music industry hasn't been about the music since the 70's. grow up mini moshers

[metalhead08]

GNR is one of my favorite bands and i think it would be sweeeeet if they got back together even if it werre just for the hell of it

[MLaMotta5992]

Axl cant sing to well live. If youve ever listened to the song Coma live, then yoiu would know that Anyway, having slash on tour with him would make the show so much better. But it would also be kick ass if they recorded some songs for chinese democracy together.

[MeSlashicA]

I agree with jynx87. But, even though presently for album sales it's the best move Slash could do, in the long run the people are gonna catch up and realise that Axl lost it and is just tagging along for the last chance at success.

Alright here's what I think:

- I know nothing about STP, so I don't care if Scott leaves or not.

- I love VR

- GN'R is amazing. It's not GN'R without Slash, but Axl Rose has changed way too much since UYI I and II to be stable enough.

It would be the best thing in the world if they all got back together. Here's the lineup I want:

Axl Rose
Slash
Gilby Clarke
Izzy Stradlin
Duff McKagen
Dizzy Reed
Teddy ZigZag
Steven Adler AND Matt Sorum

If they went on a world tour like that, with their old backup singers from the UYI Tour, I think that would be way amazing.

But like Dirk Gently said, it's wishful thinking.

**** gilby

[SlashWannabe1]

The only STP stuff that sounds good is the stuff that Guns N Roses Guitar God Slash. Scott Weiland is a good singer when he chooses to put effort into but lets face it nobody bought Scott Weilands solo album, Which leaves you to know instantly that VR is all about Slash,Duff,Matt and the Guns N Roses aura of these members.

[MeSlashicA]

Right now i don't think i want Guns N Roses to reunite. If it wasn't ment to be, it wasn't ment to be...Besides, Axl's just gonna screw everything up again and brake the band apart...once again.

GnR reforming is something I really want to happen, but I'd be massively disappointed if they did... Its the same with The Libertines, the anticipation is so much better than the reality would be if it ever happened.

You did not just compare GNR to the f***ing libertines!?!?!

A GNR reunion would be awesome, though a part of me would be sad if VR split. Personally, I think Matt's the better drummer - even if Appetite is the better album. No need for Gilby if Izzy's there and Dizzy Reed can suck my left testicle for all I care.

Slash rules

[Big Sounds]

OMG! Best Day Ever!

[DrOcan]

Slash rules, i hope they will reunite

[Sebastian69]

Cool!!!!

[LynchMobster]

umm, like everyones so excited at gnr gettin back posssibly, and like no ones really happy about stp. I mean gnr back together would kick ass, but STP, would probably fix all that i
