That's not how this band has ever worked though. Even back in the day songs that had been written by Axl, Izzy and Huge back in their Indiana days ended up on GNR records many years later (Back Off Bitch).
If you have any hope of hearing something new from this band ever again, take some hope from the fact they soundchecked and rehearsed (with Axl!) an unreleased, new song that was worked on during the CD days and possibly earlier in the mid 90s.
They rehearsed HS at sound check with Axl?

You officially announce who is in the reunion, then if Izzy or Matt/Steven will be at any of the shows. Its a joke that Slash and Duff had to announce it on their own . Its not being handled well at all.
I should have said one of the biggest reunions of all time but the GNR reunion is every bit as big as those, since people have been asking for this reunion for over 10 years.
It also does not matter if coachelle is going to sell out regardless. That is irreverent. This is about guns n roses having a reunion which is supposed to be a huge deal and its already being mishandled badly. They are already doing everything wrong.
Like I said Slash and Duff and to confirm themselves. That is not handling it well. That is a joke. The announcement should have been made all at the same time and by one source. But stuff on the reunion is coming out little by little. Its being badly managed.
You dont have to announce the tour yet but you should have a official announcement about the full band and the plans. you don't need specific dates for the stadium tour.
They just need to say there will be a US stadium tour to follow but more on that later. You shouldn't have had Slash and Duff confirming on FB own their own they are now back in the band officially.
There was a Coachella press release and a Guns N' Roses press release.
There has been no official guns n roses announcement about the reunion nor who is in the full band.
Slash and Duff confirmed they in GNR again, GNR didnt do it first.
Casuals still have no clue what is going on because there is no real news. My friends still ask me who is in the band and what is going on because there is no full official announcement. We just know the Axl, Slash and Duff are playing coachelle. And like I said Slash and Duff had to announcement it themselves that they were in the band.
There is still nothing on gunsnroses.com or GNR FB page about Slash and Duff being back in the band.
There was a Guns N' Roses press release. This is the full text as posted on the Nightrain forum:
GUNS N’ ROSES MAKE HISTORY WITH 2016 RETURN
Iconic Lineup to Headline COACHELLA Music & Arts Festival in April in Indio, CA
January 5, 2016 – Upholding a three-decade tradition of breaking ground, creating trends, and forever changing the face of rock ‘n’ roll, Guns N’ Roses announce the most significant and anxiously awaited musical event of this century. Founder Axl Rose and former members Slash and Duff McKagan will regroup to headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival (April 15-17 & April 22-24)—as announced last night!
For months, critics and audiences alike have generated immense excitement and speculation over the possible regrouping of the iconic line-up. The April performances will mark the first time since 1993 the Gunners will share the stage for what is certain to be an explosive event. For more information please visit www.gunsnroses.com.
Following the group’s 1985 formation, Guns N’ Roses injected unbridled, unrivaled, and unstoppable attitude into the burgeoning Los Angeles rock scene. The spirit went on to captivate the entire world with the release of their 1987 debut Appetite for Destruction –the best-selling U.S. debut ever, moving 30 million copies globally.
Thanks for Riding the Nightrain.

#4 Re: Guns N' Roses » I know we're all excited but... » 463 weeks ago
Well to be honest, I felt like he has been dialing it in for a while now. I'd be irritated if he continued to do so with such a big opportunity here. This is going to be huge news, and if he gets up there and is lazy....what a waste. If he showed up lean n' mean like 2006, that would be killer. I want to be optimistic, but I'm giving it 50/50.
He was not dialing it in during the 2014 residency when he performed two of the most difficult songs in the GN'R catalog, in TWAT and "Prostitute", IMO.

#5 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses-Velvet Revolver hybrid? » 463 weeks ago
Only GNR could fuck this up. Why does Axl feel so obligated to keep the hired guns on? I still believe Slash and Duff will do it right which means we get the original 5 pro shot
When was the last time Izzy did a full tour? Can Adler's sobriety be 100% assured for the duration of the tour?
Assuming Frank and Richard are in, I would ponder those questions prior to answering yours.

James Lofton wrote:Is this the first time she's involved herself in GNR to this extent? Obviously we've known about her since the old days but I cant remember her involvement.
I was thinking about that.... Plus, is a very long long time we (the fans) not hear about her (and the other brother).
At either the last or next to last show of the first Vegas residency, Axl asked the crowd to sing Happy Birthday to Amy. I was on the floor that night. That's the last I remember hearing of her.

For those reading at GN'R truth, the AEG contact thing is old now, I just meant do not contact whilst I was, that was all. They are not speaking to anyone now, so it does not matter. And, Hi to Ali and Cineater, I hope you are both well.
Hello sir. How are you?
Potentially interesting times about to begin. I hope you are well, too.

Hiya Ali. Good to see ya
Good to see you too.

Hey Ali. Haven't seen you here in a long time. Good to see you again. Were you also at Sp1at? We had a Sp1at reunion going here a few years back.
Hello James. Indeed I was. Those were some fun times for me!
Hopefully, some fun times ahead for GN'R fans. If it brings more union to the fanbase, all the better.

#10 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR Name Contract (w/ MSL/snooze72 scans) » 572 weeks ago
I guess I'm just confused. People wonder why this forum is stagnant & membership is down & what can be done about it. Yet subjects being discussed are band lawsuits over contracts from 20 years ago...
That's a fair point.
I hope Sp1at is on to something about talk of a new album.
