Can't say I do, not with Axl's voice as is. But seems it's happening:
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/report-reunion-tour-of-classic-guns-n-roses-lineup-close-to-being-revealed/
Appetite was lightning in a bottle, no question, hit me as hard as any record ever. But not much of a legacy - almost gotta One Hit Wonder the sumbitches; album-wise, anyway.
So, what about it?
-
Yeah....
-
Yeah....
Nasty, right?
Fuck it, give me a Crowes reunion instead. Dudes NEVER lost it, bros just hated each other is all.
-
bring back Weiland to STP is my wish but that will never happen. Most alpha hard rock band ever.
But I can dig GNR getting back together. Too many good songs...
-
Yeah....
Egregious.
-
I'd rather see the original band but with only Myles Kennedy singing. Axl was done a long time ago, and he's an grade A a-hole.
Could you imagine Steven Adler and Axl on the stage at one time?
-
One of the rare concerts I'd go to
-
If axl doesn't bail in the first 10 min.

I saw them in 2012 in Hollywood and Axl actually sounded decent. They would sell out every venue if this happens. I would by tickets. And they have more than 1 good album. Their whole catalog is pretty decent including Chinese Democracy
-
I would pay good money to see the full original line up play only the appetite for destruction set..
-
Axl sucks, always hated him, and his shitty voice...
-
If Axl could still sing like this i'd pay any amount to see them perform. Fact is he can't sing anymore and looks like Keith Lemon, i saw Slash & Myles live and have yet to hear better.
-
Hell yeah
-
I would have to pass. Not much a fan back then or now. I like Def Leppard more and they only have a few songs I enjoyed. ;D
I pretty much associate GnR with the Dirty Harry film "The Dead Pool" that has Jim Carrey's character lip synching to "Welcome to the Jungle". It's not that GnR are bad, but I don't think I'd make an effort to see them at this point in my life.
-
I'd pay just to see Night Train live.
-
'tGnR used to be one of my favorite rock bands in the late 80's. I wasn't particularly fond of their work in the late 90's.
Besides the fact that he looks very old and doesn't move at all like his old self, Axl has lost his voice completely. It wouldn't do the old GnR brand any justice to have them go out again.
Also, unless Slash and the rest of the original crew agree to do this, it's going to suck tremendously.
Axl can't carry this alone with his team of clowns (buckethead and the rest).

Buckethead has not been with Axl for like 10 plus years
-
LOve this tune lol
-
No, they were done a long time ago.
-
Axl's voice is done. I could see Myles replacing him for a tour.
-
If it's true...
I'm taking the wife..
Big GNR fan.
-
Axl's voice is more done than Rousey's face.

The whole point of the post, originals (Axl and Slash, anyway, maybe Duff) tentatively agreed. I'd never start a thread about Axl's goofy tribute band.

Ok, Lies was excellent, but more of an EP; Illusions should've been ONE record, lots of filler (and nothing that matches Appetite quality); Spaghetti was kinda fun, but certainly not amazing or significant.
Chinese D isn't GnR, it's Axl. And I could only stomach the first few songs. Voice is shot.
-
Meh

I saw them in concert two years ago and he was singing. Did they break up again or something?

So what was the story behind Axl being able to retain the rights to the Guns and Roses name? Was he the only one raking in royalties all of these years?
Why on earth would the other band members sign off on that?

I'm sure Slash got money too, his name is listed on the writing credits. I think his first name is actually Saul.
-
no, overrated :-* :-* :-* :-*

Obviously they all get paid back when they were together as a band, but what happened after Axl retained the GnR name, and everyone else left? I'm sure that the rest of Guns have not seen a dime off of all the tours that Axl has been doing with the band's songs.
I could be wrong, but I'm sure someone knows the details.

axl owns the name
but the royalties are split across the writing so the drummer gets shit
part of the reason they split up was axl tried to make slash an employee after they had signed the name over
axl was a dictator in the band - the rest of them were so fucked up all the time they never noticed
id be surprised if slash would resign he hates him
unless he needs the money which is surprising his solo stuff is great and sells really well
id only go if its the original line up

That was my point. Why the hell would they sign over the intellectual property of the Guns n Roses name to Axl?
If anything, they should have kicked his ass out of the band. We have seen numerous examples of bands who continued to be successful with a different front man.

if you saw STP two years ago, it was not Weiland, but Chester. If Weiland was signing, then it was with his band called "Sctoo weiland and the wildabouts"
They came to MTL last summer I passed on going and the reviews were horrible. Scott sang for 45 minutes, was not moving much said he hurt his ankle in Quebec city the night before.
Sure....
-
I saw the original band on their use your illusion tour...Whitesnake got off the stage at 8:30 and Ax hole decided to come out when
he was ready..at 11:15..on a Tuesday night..DICK!!

Damn. Hard to forgive such bullshit.

Saw them with Skid Row in '91. Already sounded bad at that point, Skid was better.

Maybe it was three years ago. It was at a free concert and it sounded just like him.
-
This is nothing more than the Slash n Axel reunion tour. No one really gives two fucks about the rest of the band. As for making money, no rock bands really sell any records anymore so neither one has made money from royalties except from sales from their heyday catalog. The money is in touring and merch and that's where they'll clean up with this tour. How can Slash turn down an extra $15M?
-
I saw them open for Deep Purple and Aerosmith and they were the best band on the stage that night.
part of the footage from that show ended up in the Paradise City video.
....but now, meh.
-
van halen had done this to years ago before roth reunited with them, they had signed a new royalties deal giving the brothers a much larger share
from the record sales from when dave was in the band, behind daves back. dave found out sued and won .

Why anyone would give Axl one penny after he's been SUCH a crud human/performer for so many years is beyond me.
The turd can't sing worth a shit (his studio work was unique and compelling at one time, I admit), he's always making audiences wait ... and wait ... and wait, his extremely limited musical output since the glory days has been beyond underwhelming, his antics toward his ex-bandmembers (who are every bit as important to Guns' onetime monolithic success as Axl is) has always been deplorable ... etc., etc. etc.
Without exaggeration, the man is mentally ill and plagued with an enormous and destructive ego.
Screw W. Axl Rose.

Great post. I concur.
-
Is Axl is even capable of finishing one song without take a break to catch his breath? last I saw of him he was a bloated pig.
-
I did care!
(But after seeing that video of him butchering those classic G&R songs .... Now I don't) * side note the new "Stryper and W.A.S.P" are some of their heaviest and best songs in years!
-

I didn't care for the Spaghetti Incident it was mostly cover songs, but I did like Chinese Democracy.

Did you know that Arnold wanted Blackie to play the role of the T1000 in Terminator 2. When Arnold found out Blackie was 6'4 he changed his mind. He didn't want the villian to be bigger than him
James Cameron had originally picked Billy Idol but Billy broke his leg in a motorcycle accident.
-
Reunion is all of them, otherwise it's not a reunion.
-
Axl needs ECA

wow! (Did not know that/Blackie would have been perfect ... Billy Idol umm not so much ..)

What year did Axl lose his voice?
I hear people bashing their performances but how good were their concerts when Appetite for Destruction first came out and it was the original band in their youth?

Never saw them in concert but that CD is legendary.

Sometime between '93 and '01, it would seem.

Album,
I bought it as a vinyl album as it was 1988.
I did own on casette and cd later though ;D
-
I don't know what's worse, Axl's "hair" or his voice
-

that's fascinating. Still, I'd rather see 2015 Fat Axl GNR version, than some new "rock" band like Brekaing Benjamin playing boring filler rock for 110 minutes.
It'd take a lot to get me to really go see any band. I see pro athletes and actors, musicians a lot in naples playing resorts and events... they're more annoying than anything else. Out of my way, I'm on break and have to pee, your 'entourage' to the urinals moves too slow.
-
I have been in proper singing training for a few years and what Axl did in his prime was phenomenal and would grind the shit out of my vocal cords in minutes.
I did get the karaoke track for November Rain but I haven't had the guts to have people in my house hear me ruin that for them :)
His versions aren't that bad in that vid. 01 he sang it clean without much distortion and seems to have gone back to that in 2014 and the fact is, if you don't distort high vocals, it can sound pretty rubbish - particularly when everybody is used to hearing that dirtier tone. I thought he had lost it in 01, but that was a stylistic choice, it seems - because he sounded back to normal in 06.

Oh shits - I was at that same show....Giants stadium......I remember the hot dog cart getting passed from the back of the stadium all the way to the front and dumped over the front.
-
it's funny seeing how they intro'd more backup singers along each step of the way. By the late 2010s, the chorus is a 3 or 4 part harmony.
That's almost 25 years of screeching some seriously hard vocal parts. In his prime, Axl was one of the best overall singers/entertainers we'll ever see. he sang all that while running around like a madman the entire show.

Received the new Stryper in the mail. First listen last night. Good stuff.

Hopefully terrorists show up and kill the band instead of the audience

Interesting vid....AR was definitely going downhill from about '93, but he still was a good singer until the past few years maybe....
