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

joenorwood77 · 04-15-2015, 04:57 PM

If I could see any band perform live it would have been Nirvana. Since that can't happen, my second choice is the original GNR lineup. And yes, this means Steven Adler on drums. 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.

last i heard, Slash hated Axel.

if this is still true, this makes a reunion of any kind unlikely.

besides, G'N'R is nothing more than a cheap abomination now and should die since all forms of dignity have long since abandoned it.

Slash needs to reform Velvet Revolver, find a new vocalist and focus on that from now on.

either that or continue making music with Myles Kennedy.

Myles Kennedy is actually quite talented so I agree with that comment. As much as I HATE to admit this, I did see GNR live a few years ago and the version with Axl and a bunch of randoms actually sounded decent. Their performance of Estranged blew me away.

The thing I keep thinking though is all of the bands who had members who hated each other, but most eventually get back together at some point, even if short lived.

Guns n roses...one of the worst, most overated bands ever. Please never reunite.

First off, I never realized how overrated some people feel about GNR. Most people I have been around throughout my life are huge fans of them, or appreciate them even if rock is not their favorite genre.

Anyways, I do not expect the original GNR to reunite and remain together for an extended period of time. I understand and appreciate how they all have gone in their own direction. However, it would be nice to see them together at least once again, and possibly a tour.

I read of a time not long ago Slash went to Axl's home to talk and Axl refused to meet him.

Deep down I know Slash is better off not dealing with Axl and the pain in the butt he is.

don't we have enough bands that are only living off their older material?

i mean, how long has it been since Rage Against the Machine reformed?

pretty sure it's nearly been 10 years.

we really don't need G'n'R outstaying their welcome too.

Wpnfire · 04-15-2015, 08:58 PM

Actually, I demand they reform so I can hear about Axl inciting a riot mid-concert as it occurs. Has anybody read about all the riots he singlehandedly caused? It's hysterical.

At their best GnR produced some music that I really love, but their moment is gone. Reforming would just take away from what came before.
