#301 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tommy/Westerberg consider a Replacements reunion » 951 weeks ago
I think we're watching the remains of the old NEW lineup fal apart. Soon all the replacements will have been replaced.
That is if you considered them to be a band to begin with....for those who always saw them as contracted employees (with additional creative freedom)...this could easily be interpreted as a sign that the album is indeed finished, handed in, and is going through the corporate process it has to go through before it gets released....
the guys have done their thing, they got paid for it....thank you very much....they are currently not needed...its an Axl Rose show...the last stretch of the road is purely his now...
the fact that these guys (Robin) are doing longer term commitments only indicates that they won't be needed for some time still....which is not a bad thing....
#302 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rumor: Axl and Slash at same hotel in NYC? » 951 weeks ago
i don't think so
depending on what slash and axl want there a couple of ways to do it quickly.
mate, they had a bitter fight(s) from literally day one about pretty much anything....they took each other apart every opportunity they had and blamed the other for the band's breakup....the lawsuits they have (had?) against each other were fierce and very long....ensuring that neither of the two was able to forget the gnr saga.....to this day, they get reminded of it....
i just don't see a "quick" way to sort anything out...Slash will never be a contracted player for a band he was instrumental in creating....never in a million years...he won't let himself go there...his wife won't let him go there....his EGO won't let him go there.....its like publicly admitting defeat.....
Axl will never share his hard earned royalty rights to the name....that took him 10 years to finally sort out....with much heartache...depression....and headaches....
they perhaps acted civil towards each other when they saw each other....Axl acted civil with Matt Sorum when he saw him....also with Steven Adler....and Izzy....and he publicly took them all apart many times....
but because he acted civil....it doesn't mean he is willing to go down the same road again....it just means that he learned how to tolerate others....and be less aggressive....

haha, i was just joking....because that's what those goofballs at the other place are debating now....and probably will for the next 22 pages....
#304 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR issue statement about Robin » 951 weeks ago
so what he's trying yo say is that Del is gay?
Or is Robin gay?
#305 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rumor: Axl and Slash at same hotel in NYC? » 951 weeks ago
They would have to start a whole new recording agreement and business partnership if a full on reunion were to happen.
and there goes another 14 years...
#306 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rumor: Axl and Slash at same hotel in NYC? » 951 weeks ago
he can always get back together with the old guys, and release CD under his "solo" banner....that way, he won't damage anyone's perceptions of anything, and still will have the "new-old" GNR to fall back on if the album flops...then again, would the old guys be comfortable with playing any of his new material is up for debate...
madagas, where the fuck do you live....i'm on the end of 23rd April....in a few hours it will be the 24th.....and you're on the 22nd still?
#307 Re: Guns N' Roses » If you're Axl and you're ready to tour.... » 951 weeks ago
When did it ever work?
If what you say is going to be the reality of the situation, we enter a silent era(time unknown), and then when another tour rolls around(hopefully accompanying a CD release), we get this:
Would anyone consider that an ideal scenario?
it never worked for you and me...and the rest of the world, including his bandmates....but it worked for him....he fucks off for 4-5 years....to clear his mind and do his thing....comes out of hiding....the world goes crazy....if it doesn't look like he'll deliver...then he disappears again....roughly the same amount of time....when he reappears, world goes crazy again....
its not an ideal pattern...but its the one he knows has worked for him and his selfish ways....so why not do it again...?...not like he gives a fuck about anyone else in anycase...
only thing which could guarantee a different scenario is if he is in financial ruins....that I see is the only thing which could exert enough pressure on him to do something different....
but if he's financially ok....then he'll just go under again for a while....and wait for the dust to settle....
#308 Re: Guns N' Roses » If you're Axl and you're ready to tour.... » 951 weeks ago
knowing Axl....i'd say silence seems to be the safest option....it has worked for him before....it may work again...
#309 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR issue statement about Robin » 951 weeks ago
makes me think that Robin is avoiding them....indicating that there is more than just a "keep myself busy during downtime" intention with NIN.....i have a feeling he bailed....and bailed good....
#310 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR issue statement about Robin » 951 weeks ago
oh boy.
