Coachella Festival profile and rumours

Yeah. I'm still on the fence about Steven's participation. The people who know have been adamant Steven is not going to be involved outside something small. So, this makes sense for a little publicity/not causing him to OD thing, but Mitch's trying to insinuate a long term gig, and that goes against everything I've heard.

Things can clearly change quickly. 'The people who know' were saying 10 weeks ago that CD II and a new guitarist was still priority and a hybrid reunion was a possibility for 2017.

Regarding Adler, SG's carwash source obviously came via Steven, suggesting he's been involved in some capacity. Remember Trunk saying they'd clammed up and wouldn't respond to any texts, even Adler. However I've also just seen an article saying Sorum is the front runner but not sure where that info is from.

I think at this stage everyone is guessing a bit even the insiders and as Steven and Izzy are the two flakiest members historically in terms of band status those are the two spots generating the most speculation. Chances are that it'll be one of Steven, Matt or Frank for the drumming slot and Izzy, Gilby(long shot) or Richard on rhythm.

I can only presume if Izzy isn't involved it's because he doesn't want to be, rather than with Steven where it's more the other way round due his past record.

Jacob also is responsible, doesn't do drugs and never has and is IN the industry as much as anyone. Look who he has performed written with. I wouldn't be surprised if Slash or that team told Jacob directly and told him to help keep Steven on the right path since he is Adler's front man. That would not shock me.

But how do we know the hybrid isn't happening? Or CD II isn't a priority (or whatever that album will be called)? Or that Slash wasn't brought in for that guitarist spot? I'm not sure where the 2017 date came from... I think the band that is moving forward will be a mash up, and Mother Goose will be involved somehow. I will say I'm pretty certain Matt will not be involved, nor Gilby.

I truly believe they are worried, at leasdt Duff and Slash, about not involving Steven somehow and what his reaction will be. Pretty sure whatever line up is set and ready to go. So if they're still trying to work out something with Steven says a lot about money and participation.

I guess we'll all find outTuesday.

You got to try Adler till he fails then bring in Sorum

For those of you that missed 1986 the first time around - have no fear it'll be back in 2016 on so many fronts.

Wow. This is getting crazy. Sounds like they are going all out with this. 2016 is going to wind up being the biggest GNR year since 1991.
This line....

Makes me think it might be AFD.

Axl Rose to talk Guns N' Roses on Jimmy Kimmel live.

Sounds like more of an interview than a performance.

This is already more promo than we saw in 15 years of the CD era. TB may be officially management but there's definitely someone else involved here pulling the strings. So far, whoever it is, they're doing an awesome job!

Maybe there will be a surprise on Kimmel? Man, this is getting exciting.

I was going to post this last night but really didn't want to start a war, but the best thing that happened was TB taking over. Even if Axl is pulling the strings, we can finally say that Beta was not preventing a reconciliation or was to blame for the strife. I bet Merk and Irving Jackoff are shitting themselves.

Sorry man, no way anyone with half a brain would go with that strategy. No company that is going to insure or invest in a reunion would be okay with that. Dude is a wreck, even on his good days. Sorum ain't happening.

I suppose it's possible that the hybrid line-up could tour in 2016, and that for the AFD anniversary they could do a one-off show with the original line-up.

I've been totally out of the loop due to the holidays. Can someone catch me up real quick?
