This thread has got me thinking about the possibility of a GNR reunion. Although my conclusion, and the reasons behind my conclusion may be somewhat trite, I think it gives rise to a possibility of a reunion.

First, the current GNR lineup has more than one member of the former incarnation, and that is Dizzy Reed (from the Use Your Illusion era at least). Second, the current incarnation has recieved guest appearences by Izzy Stradlin (2006) and Duff McCagen (2010). Third, another poster has mentioned an amicable meeting between Matt Sorum and Rose. Fourth, Velvet Revolver demonstrates that good blood exists between a number of these individuals and Slash. The only difficulty would appear to be the burnt bridges between Axl and Slash.

What this suggests is that a GNR re-union (in the form of the Use Your Illusion band) is possible, but it would take some reconciliation between two individuals who have been engaged in one of the most notorious rock and roll feuds ever. It will take a lot to achieve, but I dont believe it is out of the question.

I like your optimism, but I seriously doubt it will happen - simply because of all the bad blood between Axl & Slash.

I would have thought he'd be disqualified from Jury Service, having had a previous criminal record?

No, not in America, there a perspective juror will have a criminal records check done as a matter of service prior to them beginning. Their convictions do not necessarily relinquish them from service altogether and spent convictions also give them points. Rose probably wouldn't have been allowed at a criminal trial but would have been allowed in some kind of civic dispute in which the prosecution had argued a jury was needed.

Add to that, this is how he dressed to go to the court house

The braids are back??? That looks like an old picture from 2006. He is heavier now and his hair isn't braided.

This is the picture Rolling Stone used with their article on the Jury service so I took it, considering he was also wearing a suit, that this was the relevant picture.

My apologies, this could probably be a more up to date one

Personally I love this movie, if you haven't seen it then please do yourself a favour and get it cheap from Amazon

That is an old photo too. I'd post a recent one but only have mobile access at the moment and it is too awkward.

Well I certainly hope so, asides from Axl, I'd imagine Tommy is "second in command" and doesn't say things like this lightly, he never has before

I know its horse sh1te. The freek show rolls into town once more.

RonMexico · 27-01-2012 11:10am

I won't be going nor would I recommend this gig to ANYONE after the farce last year. Only a pervert could enjoy being treated like cattle at the o2, herded into an arena to endure a prolonged wait for Axl Rose to piss all over you.

Lemmy Scott · 27-01-2012 11:11am

Good shout, I won't doubt you again.

Still very surprised though!

Great news, lets hope Axl turns up on time, and a few drunks don't start throwing bottles at the stage....;)

As a first in the history of Gigs in this country, people should be asked to pay for their ticket upon leaving the arena after a successful show!

That's OK, it was a shock when he first told me, but sure....I guess he knew better then I. I'll leave you guessing.

Ha some twat on mygnrforum is bitching because I dared to voice my opinion about this gig.

I'd watch a pay-per-view of pissed off fans vs MCD/Axl though haha

No it's you seeming to believe that you have the right to tell people what gigs they should go to. I get it you weren't happy with the gig in Dublin last year, and it was a bit of a **** up and yes axl shouldn't have been late but he didnt deserve to be bottled by drunk **** either. I went last time and I'm considering going again.

Mental Mickey · 27-01-2012 4:59pm

I think this thread needs a poll??

Atari Jaguar anyone??

Lol I said boycott the gig. I didn't say you can't go because I won't allow you.

But if you want to make a fool out of yourself then be my guest and throw away your money.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Spot on. My previous post was in reference to a post I made after the last O2 gig (just to clarify). In many drunken words said that anyone who doesn't know that Axl has shown up late for the majority of the gigs he has played over the last 20 years has been living on the moon, and throwing bottles at the band (or any band for that matter) is not on.
According to a mate, there were all kinds of anti-gnr replies, but I never bothered going back into that thread, I just stick to GNR forums for GNR discussion (for the most part...).

No, but I think another GNR thread wouldnt go amiss. Like they did in the LOST forum. Let the haters express their views in their own thread, and keep another thread for those who want to discuss the band without distractions from the opposing side.....

But isn't that what a discussion is all about? The positive and negative side of things???

It just happens that both Axl Rose and MCD bring out the negative side of people. You may not like it, but hey, that's(Chinese)democracy.

see what I did there!!??

I dont think i will be going tbh although severely tempted. I shant be treated the way i was at the last gig again.

LH Pathe · 28-01-2012 4:58am

Axl Rose & Controversy will not be getting my money twice.

wasn't at the last one

so I'm going
