axl has said repeatedly that he would rather die than share a stage with Slash again. and he doesn't care about the money, they have been offered obcene amounts to reunite, and Axl (and I think Slash too) says no.

And somewhere Steven Adler cries in his methodone.

Now tell us what you really think!

Nah...but seriously - I totally agree. With Axl, it's all about Axl. Which is too bad. GnR doesn't exist anymore, as far as I'm concerned. Axl can hire on whoever and run them through his revolving door...but that band is GnR in name only now. At least for me.

With the RRHF, he has a chance to act like a non-douche...but douche is just in his nature. So I'm guessing that GnR will not re-unite for the event.

I say yes, but Axl will show up 8 hours late and no one will get to see them play.

Gary Carter

everyone but slash will play in the band. i can see slash saying something for a few min and accepting the award and then walk off stage.

My guess is everyone but Axl will accept the award. Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Matt will accept. They'll get some somebody to stand in on vocals during their performance, and my guess is Fergie.

Axl is a douche, so no

those are my thoughts as well. axl is a douche. i think slash has gotten past even wanting to play with him. it's been almost 20 years since they've even been around each other. hopefully the chilis & the beasties will do something. axl probably won't even show.

Axl's new band has played with Izzy and Duff, and is playing some shows with Duff on this tour. He obviously would be willing to play with them, just probably not Slash, who walked out on GnR. Not sure why everyone thinks Axl is a deuche - everybody else quit GnR.

Stardog3..

I'm going to go search for the article, but all the guys actually said they would play for the HOF except Axl. And he hasn't said no or anything of that nature, but there's obviously just been no comment on his part- esp. since his one stipulation is that no one can question him reuniting with the original GnR.

I'm thinking they will. Would be like the Pink floyd thing at Live 8 in 2005, I would hope. They should play the Hall of fame ceremony, It would be so lame if they didn't. If Axl were to play with the new group, it's just disrespectful, IMHO. They should do what Metallica did: have all old members. Matt Sorum, and steven Adler both drum for a song or two. Guess we shall see. I would think the real GNR could stand on stage for 25-30 minutes, and play considering they are going into the hall of fame, but we shall see. :think:

That is a definite possibility

I hope so. Not being able to bury a hatchet or to even just ignore eachother's presence for 8 minutes on stage over some grudge you have from 18-20 years ago is pretty pathetic for the maturity level for both Slash and Axl.

erocshifty

it would be awesome. slash walked out on axl because paul huge wasn't a good enough guitar player & slash had bonded with gilby. he was pissed that gilby got fired & axl brought his buddy into the fold. the book w.a.r. by (ironically) mick wall explained the situation. i know axl called that dude out in "get in the ring", but he talked to slash about what went down during preproduction. i did enjoy chinese democracy. i liked the demo version "better", but thought that there were some great moments on it. "street of dreams" in particular tears me up. "irs" sounds like classic gn'r to a degree...

big mick

I'd hope the guys can bear each other for a few tracks for old times sake, I'd be pissed off if the 'Axl Project' played, they are not GnR and never will be, even if Izzy doesn't come back and Gilby steps in again, that's the line up I saw nearly 20 years ago.

axl gave a recent interview on that metal show and he seemed very optimistic about reuniting. i feel like there's only so much more bitching and complaining they can do. it's been going on for so long that there's really no use to it any more. axl's career is going down hill and i feel the only way to revive it is by reuniting with the whole band. it's definitely going to be very interesting to see what happens.

they probably would have been able to bury the hatchet, but Slash brought it all to the forefront again with this book. Axl said that book really pissed him off.

If I'm not mistaken, Axl's rampant douchebaggery was the main reason they all quit.

RAMPANT!

To be honest,
if they DID (which they WONT) get back together, it would STILL suck.

They would have to turn slash's guitar up loud enough to drown Axl out,
or otherwise Axl would have to fall off the stage after the first few notes in order to save face.

FUCK AXL ROSE.

I actually had a dream the other night that I was walking down the stairs in to an arena (to see GnR, i guess) with my buddy. Someone about 3 stairs down looking like a prize fighter in a robe with dreads, and a big black dude behind him, and i was just talking real loudly to my buddy about how Axl was the biggest fuckin douchebag crybaby suckass piece of shit ...

we got to the bottom ofthe stairs and the prize fighter turned around, it was axl (duh) and he lunged at me to kick my ass, screaming loudly, while his body guard pushed him back and pinned him down. We turned like pussies and ran up the stairs.

The next day i heard on the radio that Axl Rose had committed suicide, apparently because some disgruntled fan had spewed prolific bad words at him, and caused him to break down.

I heard it and was VERY upset ...
... that they had DRASTICALLY MISQUOTED MY negative comments.
lol.
