Guess they need the money specially with Axl.
IDK if there are still a lot of GNR fanatics who are excited of this news but if there should be a reunion ALL of the original members including stradlin should be on the line-up.

Have you SEEN Axl Rose lately? WHOA!! He's like a half pig half man hybrid THING in a leather jacket with a microphone. He looks like a dead bloated swollen corpse, and sounds 10 times worse than he looks.

Count me out.

hahaha that goes out to the rest of the other GnR. If I remembered it correctly Axl had some thought cancer before.

IDK but don't get me wrong listening to those old shit like Appetite for destruction stuff is still cool in my book but don't know if wanna see them looking like a bunch of old drunks breakin their ass out for some money.

But still guess people would still come and maybe some of them just wanna see if there would be some onstage friction on stage. Who knows some fist to fist action.

I've never paid attention to what the entertainment news outlets have ever reported about Guns N Roses, but it's safe bet to assume the reason for them ever breaking up was the fact that Axel Rose is an egotistical loudmouthed asshole and the rest of the band took exception to it. Same shit, different band. Happened with Van Halen too. Eddie Van Halen has enough of an ego, and when you stir that together with an ego the size of David Lee Roth's, you're gonna get a volatile explosive compound. Same shit with Pantera too. I can really appreciate Phil Anselmo for the way he approaches song writing, and I absolutely love all the stuff he's ever done with Down and Superjoint Ritual even moreso than his work in Pantera. And usually when I love a musicians music as much I do his, I'd hack and slash my way though a crowd of grandma's with a fire axe for a chance to meet them in person. But him? Nah. I'll pass. Most of the interviews I've ever seen with him, he comes across as a total jackoff dumbass who I would most certainly NEVER want to hang out with. I assume the guys in Pantera feel the same way about him. The rest of them seem like normal likeable guys. And as much as Phil Anselmo comes off as an annoying fucking prick during interviews, I'm sure he's a million times worse when he's drinking heavy and shooting junk up his arm.

But back to GNR. I really liked Appetite for Destruction, but Lies and Use Your Illusion 1&2 I wasn't as crazy about. They're the kind of band I wouldn't mind going to see play live, but... not with the way Axel Rose sounds these days. He's just way too out of shape to sing like he used to. Being as overweight as he is, he struggles to breathe and doesn't have the lung capacity he needs to complete phrases, and part of that might be compounded by the years of smoking he's done. Last video I saw of him performing as GNR but with a completely different band, he was moving and dancing around like he used to back in the 80's and 90's. And back then, it was good showmanship, but with him being as big a fucking house now, it just looks embarrassing, comical, and awkward.

So hopefully he's done some really smart shit like hire a personal trainer to whoop his ass and get him in war-going shape. He needs to stop fucking smoking too if he hasn't already. He also needs to leave the booze and drugs alone. These older bands that used to party hard and play loud, most of them have calmed their tits about the rockstar lifestyle bullshit and they approach touring like professionals. They don't come out on stage drunk and they don't party to where it's gonna adversely effect how they feel come show time.

Am quite excited actually but i kinda think that it will fail, Axl Rose changed alot, he is fat and i have no idea what his voice will sound like. Plus he is a huge dick so there is a chance that he will ruin it somehow. $:-\$

Nothing to be excited about, in my opinion. So they're gonna tour, big deal. Personally, I don't give that much of a shit about seeing bands play live anymore. What I'd be more excited about (and I'm not in the case of Guns N Roses) is if they had gotten together over the course of a few months and wrote some new songs together as a band for a brand new album. But even if they WERE to do that, which they HAVEN'T and WON'T, the new material would largely stink in all probability. Remember in 2013 when Black Sabbath got back together with Ozzy and put out the album "13"? It was a decent album. It wasn't terrible like Technical Ecstasy or Never Say Die, but it wasn't all that super interesting either. To me, it sounded like they were making a conscious effort to rerelease Paranoid. Some people really liked it for that reason, but I wasn't one of them. Bands have a shelf life. Some of them can stay relevant and interesting longer than others, but inevitably they all become dated parodies of themselves. Slayer is probably my favorite metal band of all time, I love them to death. Slayer stayed relevant and fresh for a long time. And as big of a fan as I am, I gotta admit, God Hates Us All was probably the last "fresh" sounding album they did. Everything since then has completely forgotten the sound, feel and style they worked up on that album and has reverted back to the kinds of songs they were writing back in the Reign In Blood/Seasons In The Abyss era. It's still cool stuff, but the twinge of NuMetal they blended into their songs on God Hates Us All has completely disappeared. And personally, I fucking HATE all the bands from the NuMetal era, but Slayer took parts of the sound and made it work fashionably.

There's been speculation that Axel Rose could become the temporary vocalist for AC/DC since he was seen leaving one of AC/DC's rehearsals in Atlanta a while back after Brian Johnson had to leave the band because of hearing problems that were threatening to make him completely deaf.

AC/DC plus Axel Rose. God I hope not. Hopefully Angus Young is fucking smarter than that.

It's also official that I just lost most of my respect for this band. Not a good choice in my opinion. Hopefully it's a temp job. Even better, ACDC just needs to say uncle and retire already. Their last couple of albums have been pretty docile in my opinion and don't live up to the reputation of high energy no bullshit rock and roll that the band has cultivated since the beginning.

I guess its time to add ac/dc to my "used to be great" list.

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #12 on:** April 19, 2016, 05:26:13 AM »

I'd enjoy ACDC with Axel Rose out front about as much as I'd enjoy ACDC with Nicki Minaj singing.

Bands that benefited from famous stand-in frontmen:
Queen had Paul Rodgers from Bad Company for a little bit.
The Doors had Ian Astbury from The Cult for a while.

Oooooh, so sorry ACDC, but you don't make the list. Fuck off.
