GnR Hall of Fame

Slash worried about hall of fame induction
26/01/2008 -

Rocker Slash fears Guns 'N Roses' potential induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 could be a debacle if the bandmates don't put aside their differences by then.

The 'November Rain' hitmakers will become eligible for induction in 2010 - but guitarist former Slash fears a Van Halen-type mess.

The rocker and former Guns 'N Roses stars Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum joined forces with Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar to pay tribute to Van Halen last year when the band themselves failed to show.

Eddie Van Halen was in rehab and frontman David Lee Roth refused to perform with his successor, Hagar.

And now Slash fears his old band's big night in two years time could become be another classic anti-climax.


He tells Billboard.com: "I never even thought about it until we had to do that. Somebody asked me, 'Do you think you guys will be able to show up for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (induction ceremony) in five years?'

"I was like, 'Oh, I guess we're eligible.' It never dawned on me before then. If this comes up, I'd hope we'd be mature enough to get up and do that, but I have no idea."

Slash, McKagan and Sorum currently perform together in Velvet Revolver while Guns 'N Roses frontman Axl Rose is famously estranged from his former bandmates.

From the way Slash puts it, it seems that all of them except Axl are willing to reunite for that special day..

The thing I've been saying to many times.

Matt talked to Axl,
Steven talked to Axl.
Gilby doesn't have a thing against Axl(they performed together 00)
Izzy played with Axl.

So basic line....  Duff N'Slash need to get together with Axl sometime... just to talk. sort things out but nothin'more.

Slash said in his book axl never apologized face to face with him, he would always do something big for him, so maybe this would be the day, but who knows. I dont think Axl will ever speak to slash again after his book, intentional or not slash revealed alot of private shit about axl, well from what ive read so far. Though some of the stuff was widely known, I think Axl would take it as a stab.

Axl did always try to apologize in "grand fashion" with slash.  I think they will play together!! you know Axl is a showsman.  He understands the achievement it is!!  either way i only live 4 hrs away from the r&R hall of fame
so you count me in for the ticket and the drive!!!!

As long as Axl owns the name GN'R, would it be possible that he goes to the HoF with his new band and tell the other members to fuck off ?

[jamillos]

^That'd be unasked for. Anyway, please don't start another revival rumours. If they go there just for the one night together again, alright then. If just one or two members, good too.

That would never happen, the people in charge of the event wouldn't let it

[GnrJanus]

perhaps they don't get to have a say in it what band is going to perform.

THey can do stuff like metallica and Aerosmith, take some video interviews and let em go,and let the new band perform. perhaps a double show.

Axl with new band.
and a one time thing with the orriginal band.

and have a few bands performing songs.

Would love to see metallica doing a AFD song. but not that it would happen.

[davisp]

Maybe Chinese Democracy becomes one of the best albums ever made, then the new band would perform, but....... 

[GGS]

Axl's got too much of that voodoo hippy new age rubbish in his life to ever make up with slash. 

[Estranged9]

they will make up one day!!! (Axl & Slash) 

It will happen - it will be like the led zeppelin deal.  One or a couple of shows thats it

after Chinese Democracy ...

I think axl has he?s own pride, they other members left him, and he was hurted big time (for whatever reasons or Axl fault or whatever) so I guess we would just have to wait how is he?s pride en 2010.
