Honestly, the only way I'd accept a reunion is if I don't feel that it's shitting on the current members of the band.  Tommy, Dizzy and Pitman in particular, since they've stood by Axl since, what, the late Nineties? The other guys have arrived later in the day, but Bumblefoot is such a stand-up guy that if he was forced to step aside - in favour of a guy Axl's described as "a cancer" - it'd really sting.

Best-case scenario for a reunion, IMO, would be if Tommy stepped aside for Duff, and Axl subbed in Slash for DJ (who, let's be fair, has only been in GN'R for a year).

Izzy's too unreliable to tour (and I personally think Matt's kind of a tool, so I'd rather keep Frank). Still, he'd be around for guest spots and songwriting.

Bumble doesn't seem to have an ego on him, so Slash would be able to take his precious "lead guitar spot" - and Fortus' onstage acrobatics would pretty much make up for the fact that every time Slash moves he gets zapped by his pacemaker.

But, really, I think the Duff thing was a chance one-off. It's not a portent of anything, and I prefer the notion of Axl touring with his current band, who he's friends with, than Axl and Slash glaring at each other from opposite sides of the stage on some retirement-fund tour.

Yeah, even if Axl were to magically reconcile with Slash and suggest a reunion, Izzy's involvement would be tricky. More likely you'd end up with Fortus filling in for him, and if you're going to do that you might as well have Bumble in there too. And, hell, Frank too. Because Matt's a tool.

Isn't Ron the godfather to Duff's kids, or somesuch? Pretty sure they're close mates, anyway.

AHAHA! Fantastic!

Cheers m'dears. It's... interesting. More like the actual AFD I was expecting, given the differences between the original SCOM and the Big Daddy version. I suppose we'd have to hear a solo to pick up on the real differences.
