Will the Original Guns N Roses Line Up Ever Reunite? Ever???

Well, Axl is still in Guns N Roses, just that he is the lone original member. I do recall a day when MTV always had news breaks regarding new issues with Axl, including the riots you are referring to. LOL

What are the chances that at some point Axl will give the fans what they want and play with the original guys? Most of the other guys have played together a few times since breaking up. I believe Duff and Izzy have both performed with Axl since then. Slash, Duff and Izzy have all performed with Adler post-GNR. If my understanding is right, the main conflict is still between Axl and Slash, while there is also some bad blood between Axl and Adler. Is that all fair to say and that the rest are cool with each other?

I still cannot get over Axl and how he dealt with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when GNR was inducted.

I won't hold my breath, but it will be nice to see the original five together, even just one more time. Hopefully an attempt happens before something happens like Adler overdosing on heroin. It is obvious that he is still fighting the demons of drug addiction, which really sucks.

Not if Axl keeps selling out shows, currently there's no incentive to reform with band members he can't control & dominate like sheep.

Anyhow, I'm generally with Janzoon on this, their moment has passed, I'd feel different about an iconic band like Nirvana, unfortunately you can't resurrect the dead.

I lol'd at the "like sheep" part.

Slash and Axel hate each other still from what I've read... I highly doubt this will happen but you never know, they might put their differences aside one day

One of the biggest asses in the history of arena rock.

I think that whatever way it is approached, the argument that GnR sucks is invalid. Hugely successful band, and still largely successful, even with Chinese Democracy just going platinum. All of the tours the current incarnation has done were wildly successful. Cannot argue that.

There's also the fact that every member of the band during their hay day, were not mediocre musicians. I still have licks that Slash put down and leads that get stuck in my head they're that good and memorable; he wrote one of the most iconic solo's of the 80's/90's and is still a highly respected and sought after musician.

Say some band sucks, at least give some kind of explanation as to why, and not just some two line reason why. I'm not the biggest fan of GnR. But I'd be talking some sh*t if I said they sucked, sh*t that just wouldn't be true at all. You can dislike a band. But damn it all. People need to stop writing off entire bands or the people in them as crap, just because they happen to not like that band. That just doesn't make anyone look good. A lot of you talk about how certain ways things are said can make a person look, and on top of that take away from their credibility or how serious they can be taken. I think just coming in to a thread and quickly saying this band sucks and not giving a reason why that makes some kind of sense, does the same thing. Don't preach it if you don't practice it yo.

Myles Kennedy was brought up. That dude is amazing. Alter Bridge is pretty solid. Myles Kennedy, so far that I've heard, can sing anything and sound really great doing it.

In regard to if the original band will ever reunite. Doubtful, especially this far along from the initial split. Slash has openly stated he does not hate Axl. And I have watched interviews where Axl states he does not hate Slash. It's just that there's things neither one of them will move on from that's still keeping them from even being in the same room. Duff and Slash still do things regularly together, and I believe they've both done things with the other original line up often as well. Axl and Dizzy do stuff, obviously. It'd be some kind of act of God if all original members did anything together again. Right now, pretty much any original member of GnR are doing well, especially Slash. His little solo band he has going on put out a pretty great record recently, top to bottom.
