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.Ali
That's it, and there was a photo each of Axl, Slash and Duff and it was a Docx document

You have the biggest rock reunion of all time and we are getting barely anything. They are botching it from the start.
The full band should have announced the reunion on Kimmel then played a song.There should be complete news of the tour and who is in the band. WE still don't even know the full band yet. How is that even possible.
You need to think a little outside the box. If you tie other people into the reunion, it creates a mess.
AEG are really good at what they do. The band have some artistic freedom as to who appears. It can also be a surprise as to who appears.
It is the right card to play
You don't need to think outside the box. Its cut and dry. What do you mean it can be a surprise who appears that is just dumb. 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.

Eagles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin are all bigger reunions than this. It's not like the publicity machine matters much for a festival gig. Coachella will sell out no matter who is on the bill and no matter how much GN'R chooses to hype it.
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.

Yeah, the Kimmel cancellation aside I think they've handled things beautifully so far. Slash and Duff have been confirmed. That's really all you need to know. Izzy and Steven will probably be involved in some way, but not full time. Dizzy, Chris, Frank, and Richard are most likely involved too. The only mystery is if they choose to go with 3 guitarists or 2.
As for the rest of the tour. I have no problem with them taking their time on that announcement. The Kimmel thing came a bit prematurely it would seem. If concert dates were to leak and then they turn out to be wrong, that would cause chaos. Make sure all your ducks are in a row before the big reveal. A little anticipation and mystery isn't a bad thing. I mean we're THIS close, let's not get too picky.
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.

Do you think we get some AFD 5 at Coachella? Only have 36 mins left to decide.
Yes, just a guess though

Axl need a rea manager to get him in line, not team brazil who are just a bunch of hanger ons and yes people who are robbing Axl of his money.

#496 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who here is going to Coachella? » 505 weeks ago
Birmingham, Alabama... Southeast USA
I think your nearest concert will be Atlanta, let me check
#497 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who here is going to Coachella? » 505 weeks ago
I registered at Coachella, should I buy tix??!?!?!
What area do you live?
#498 Re: Guns N' Roses » Same Old, Same Old » 505 weeks ago
They've done so before on their own sites, so very possible. Even Axl did at one point, but I'm not expecting a repeat of that.
Depends on how much they think it is worth promotion wise maybe.
We seem to be getting this drip drip approach to promoting Coachella
It seems like an obvious thing to do
#499 Re: Guns N' Roses » Same Old, Same Old » 505 weeks ago
Tangent
Thinking out loud, if Slash and Duff have accounts on Nightrain, do you think there is going to be an online presence. One member one day, then another the next.
#500 Re: Guns N' Roses » Same Old, Same Old » 505 weeks ago
From the bands perspective, when they are signing contracts they have to think about all aspects of their tour.
For now, there is nothing happening and no ties with the record company. It is all about Coachella and AEG
When Uni start firing, then we know the band are moving on from Coachella and thinking about other aspects of the tour.
