Re: Classic Rock just through my door...
Slash and Duff on front cover, article covering the end of the VR tour
Interview with Scott Weiland, who empathises with Axl...
Lots of shit being thrown around but here's an interesting snippet
Question to Scott
Wouldn't an alternative to this heated situation be that you all cool off, do your separate projects and then regroup and see how the land lies?
I think they should get Guns N Roses back together, to tell you the truth. I think that would be the greatest thing that they could do. I think the world would be very happy. If they could stop talking trash about Axl in the press. It almost happened. The pens were ready to sign. With the Greatest Hits there was a possibility but there was too much stuff being said. But it was a close call. I would love to see that happen, as a Guns n' roses fan. I'd pay to see it.

Re: Classic Rock just through my door...
I don't think Slash and Duff badmouth Axl to the press really. The odd comment recently about turning up late to gigs and disrespecting fans (in comparison to Scott) isn't a dig, its the truth. Its not like he has learned from past behaviour.
Interesting quote from Scott regarding the possible reunion around the time of the GH. Its always a case of 'what could've been' with this band. Everyone is too damn stubborn and ruled by ego. I'm so close to just giving up on them completely.

We now have confirmation that the band has almost reunited at least once.
Now the people who have always said it could/would never happen are eating a bit of crow.

Agreed, we just need that other 'Welcome to the Jungle Best Of' to come out and we are looking at another possibility of a reunion.... Well heres hoping anyway....!!
I wonder what the obstacles were to it happening? I guess theres just so many that it just fell flat.
Would be great to hear more about this, but no one has ever spoken of it other than Scott. He is right though, apart from about 10 people, the world would be happy if it happened.

are you serious?
almost every single interview from 97 onwards from those two was about Axl bashing.....they've cooled off recently, so they're a bit more democratic, but they were taking some serious shots at him for years...mind you, so was he, but they were pretty serious...
i'm sure sic. could locate some of the "best" moments from their interviews...

I'm in a hurry to get to a wedding but here's the other side from the Duff interview
Weiland says you should reform GNR - that 'the pens were ready to sign' the contracts were on the table...'I know he was really paranoid about that and we had to allay his fears at one point, when we were writing for Libertad' says Duff. 'He got wind that our manager at that point had been talking to Axl about bringing Axl over to what was our management company back then. And Scott freaked out that we were getting GNR back together and we weren't going to make the second record. I don't know where it came from - there was no contract on the table or pens ready to sign..maybe now he's convinced himself thats what happened.

No reunion. Scott is making things up

Wasn't Perla, Slash's wife directly involved in VR's management at that point somehow?

Re: Classic Rock just through my door...
I agree.
I think maybe he's saying this to piss off VR. Cos he knows Slash and Co don't like it when interviews focus
on GNR and not whatever VR's up to. Either that or he believes it himself, he's doing a lot of drugs, he thinks a drum tech is singing his parts for fuck's sake.
Shame though, as I'd love to see a reunion!
