I agree that from a musical standpoint, VR is a weak link in his resume. However, the band's very existence is a bright spot on his resume. They are one of the few successful supergroups in existence. He has been in two major bands, with alot of solo work and collaborations in between.

I don't want a reunion either. It will just cheapen what they did and drag the legacy through the mud. However, we don't need a reunion to do that. Axl is perfectly capable of doing that himself. So as the name loses its value and the legacy slowly fades, does the world want one last huge tour by the guys who made it all happen, or do they want a warped nostalgia head trip that fewer and fewer people are caring about?

Those are the only two logical choices left. While new GNR can release an album, they will never build a comparable legacy. The ship sailed on that dream years ago.

Why? So he can go from actually creating music, releasing it, and continually adding to his legacy to doing absolutely nothing? From a musical standpoint, the last place on earth a musician would want to be is in Guns N Roses. You stop being a musician the second you join. You just get to tour AFD every few years. Big deal.

I'm not even much of a VR fan. I can put all the songs I like from them on a disc and its pretty much an EP. However, that doesn't disregard everything Slash has done. He has had an amazing career, and his post 87-93 resume is the best of anyone that has ever been in the band or is currently in the band.

Axl would benefit more from a reconciliation than Slash would. Slash's legacy is secure. He is widely respected by the media, fans, and his peers. People look forward to whatever his next move is. He is pretty much the poster boy for that guitar game. He can go solo or play with any artist/band that he chooses to work with.

I know people like to say he is an "attention whore", but I bet my life if Axl's career had turned out as productive as Slash's the last thing they would be calling him is an attention whore.

A reunion is going to happen sooner rather than later. Its inevitable. In the meantime, Slash continues 'moving on' like he continually says and contributes to an amazing legacy/resume. Axl will continue the AFD head trip, and the only way a reunion will happen is if Axl begs for it.

Which he should have to. He has been the least productive member of the old lineup. A ton of money shouldn't be handed to him on a silver platter for nothing but living off what those guys did. Make him beg for it.

I'll pick Randy Orton.

Good point, but we wanted all the music categories up in the first section.

I agree that the dollar is dead. Foreign reserves and government bailouts are the only band aids it has. Eventually even that wont prop it up. If they're going to make this switch, they better do it within the next few years, because the US is in big trouble. We are about to enter a deep recession, and a depreciating dollar isn't going to help it.

Am I really the only person that realizes the new currency is going to be almost worthless when it first appears?

All you people out there with a bunch of money saved in dollars better either spend them now, or invest them in something else.
