2008 is running out. If there's no news by September, this year is over and done with.

I would say a definite no. But...

Joe Perry thought Lightning Strikes was a great song and played it for years after its release. He had nothing to do with the song originally. It can be done. He just thought it was a cool song. If Slash can take that tone towards the CD songs they will be played, but I seriously doubt it will happen.

However, GNR is such a complex machinery with such complex characters, playing CD songs might be one of those things that will crash a possible reunion. It's Axl baby, and Axl will not let it go just to be on a stage with Slash. Trust me on it. Axl isn't driven by what drives most musicians in todays biz. You got the last 15 fucking years to tell you that.

That's why my reunion scale isn't breaking any new barriers in levels the next 5-10 years.

And neither should yours.

It's as wishful thinking as the resurrection of Christ, and in my book it's both utopia beyond what humans should put into their stupid minds

IRS isnt that good..it's a decent song...like Pretty Tied Up for example..but nothing major.

But they sound demoish even with all that recording and layering.

It's so funny when GNR related people interviews GNR band members.

I reminds me of a scenario where some guy interviews a supermodel with a huge zit on her nose. The guy speaks of EVERYTHING but the mega zit on her nose and in  the end vaguely hints of it being there, but not enough for her to pick up on it.

Or, easier said, avoid the elephant in the room at all costs.

"So how was it playing with the farmer from Montana in last years wedding for his cousins sister, it must have been great!"

"It was great man..I love playing wedding gigs for the national farmer union department of Sheffield, Montana".

"What type of bakery do you like and did you ever eat bakery while you recorded Chinese Democracy?"

"No comment".
