duff talkin about wanting a reunion again.... had some quotes.. i took couple pics. upload later

hmm interesting both Slash and Duff changed their position recently. It's odd. Maybe they heard new material and it blowed them away. As I can see place for Slash in GN'R especially if Finck is out, Duff is hard story, I doubt Axl would fire Tommy they had great chemistry on stage , and I doubt Slash would make a move leaving Duff alone.

ill try to get full article

mate you're awesome 
so know reunion is on the lines I think, if Finck is really out than it is possible. They could release CD, tour with Slash and Duff and then re-record no.2 and no. 3 CDs.
because sorum won't make any reunion anyway.

I have always thought this senario would be possible.  Since Chinese Democracy has not been released, and Axl owns the name GNR, he can do what he wants.

Axl could:

1. Release Chinese Democracy and future material he has already recorded as an Axl Rose solo project.  Why not?
2. Reunite with real GNR, tour the old band and the old band could learn a couple of new songs.  Why not?

All of this said, with Why NOt?

All of this is easily possible.  The new GNR guys, Tommy, Robin, etc are basically at Axl's mercy since he owns the rights to the name.  They are basically employees, whether anyone wants to believe it or not.  Axl can decide what to do with the material and nothing they can do about it.  He owns the material.

Axl could still bring the glory with the real GNR and still live the glory of the music he has created, just release it as " Axl Rose solo band" or "Axl and his employees" or "Axl and his bitches" etc. 

Real Guns n Roses needs to get back and show all the GNR fans 1999 - present how to really be a fucking rock n roll band.

It might be cool for maybe one tour...but Axl shouldn't re-record anything with the old GUNS..you can't beat Bucket or Bumble.

I mean re-record Finck parts, I think if andy reunion happens it will be Axl, Slash, Bumblefoot, Fortus, Duff, Mantia.

That would be cool.

Izzy can play some shows, he hates touring etc and being in the spotlight all the time.

Don't get my wrong, Slash re-recording Finck parts for second or third album if that happens would be awesoem, would bring even more styles into play. Bumblefoot sounds a little "electric" with shredding etc and really I don't want more industrial songs.
Also Slash can play more than blues-rock his guitar work on "slither" was pretty heavy.
Blues with Slash solo hmm
TWAT with 2 Slash solos and outro by Buckethead would be the best guitar song ever made.

But they can release CD as it is as fast as possible , than tour with Duff and Slash and then re-record Finck parts, Big deal.
And all CD would go multiplatinium really fast.
Such line-up would be awesome. And I think both Slash and Duff would love to be part of it.

Could this "reunion talk" be the reason why Chinese Democracy still isn't out yet? I remember Axl saying to Kurt Loder the reason it took a long time to get to work on CD was because of Slash. From what I've read, Slash was the only guitarist Axl wanted to work with back in 94-97. So now with all this talk of a reunion, could Axl feel conflicted to put out CD of to do reunion? Who knows?

[regibold]

Wasn't it already posted about Slash listening to the new songs and him saying that the old GNR would never be able to pull off these kind of songs? QUOTE "It's a record that the original Guns N'Roses could never possibly make."

I could be wrong, but I don't personally think they would mix the two bands.  How would Bumbelfoot/Fortus/Mantia (is he even still in the new band?) feel towards Slash and Duff taking the spots of their friends?

I think it actually WOULD include Matt Sorum.  It would not include Izzy because Izzy wouldn't want to recreate it all.  I actally think a call might be made to a Mr. Gilby Clarke.

It's 1993 and Axl has a great idea for a new album. Slash and Duff tell Axl that they don't like the new idea and the fans will never go for it. Slash and Duff run off and make albums that they feel the fans will like, while Axl sits by himself trying to make the next GN'R album. Axl continues to ask Slash and Duff for help and in return gets the shaft because everyone thinks Axl's new idea is crazy. Slash and Duff eventually leave and make their own band. Axl then continues to spend the next 15 years working on the dream that he has for a new GN'R album. Finally, things start to come together and after beg, borrowing and steeling to get there, a release looks promising. Suddenly Slash and Duff come back to Axl and say that they decided that they are sick of their new band and want in on Axl's dream. Do you really think Axl is going to give them any credit for his hard work? How would you feel honestly?
