Support NeoGAF

[Rival]

The band that last played together in 1993 is not the same band we will be seeing in 2016. This will not end well but I do want to see it.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

YES!!! I'm scared though.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

How many concerts will they play before Slash whips his guitar at Axel's head?

EDIT:

“as many as 25 football stadiums in North America in the summer of 2016.”

That seems optimistic, but maybe I am underestimating people giving Axel just one more shot not to be a dick.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Everyone says his weight doesn't matter, but it totally does. Dude can't sing because he's out of breath within 10 seconds of opening his mouth. I've watched enough of his material to see it.

 

[Mushroomer25]

If I end up going to Coachella for the (now seemingly inevitable) LCD Soundsystem reunion, I'll catch this trainwreck for sure.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Wish we could've gotten a Velvet Revolver reunion but nope. God dammit Scott Weiland.

 

[Skellig Gra]

It's probably going to suck but I'm gonna go anyway.

 

[Cranster]

They had only one really good album. I never got why they were so popular especially after they broke up.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Slash will do his duty. Axl will ruin this with his ego - be it not showing up for rehearsals, not showing up to gigs on time, etc etc.

 

[Sobriquet]

I want to see this just for the disaster potential. I saw them a couple of times in their prime so I'm not worried about it.

 

[Dishwalla]

Pretty much.

 

[mocoworm]

Thread title says this is confirmed.

This news is not confirmed.

Just sayin'.

That album sold 30 million copies.

Maybe you don't like good music?

They were probably so popular "especially" after they broke up for that very reason... They went out near their peak of popularity. That means they didn't have a string of dud albums like so many other bands to turn people off. Also fans couldn't see them live for years & years as the (real lineup) weren't touring post 1993.

 

[Cranster]

That album sold 30 million copies.

Boston sould roughly the same amount yet they don't have the same overhype.

 

[TheLastCandle]

I would entertain the thought of going to see this, but I really only like a handful of GnR songs.

 

[johancruijff]

Can't wait to hear Axl fart&burp during Patience

The fuck is this revisionist bs?

Between Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 there's at least another 12 great songs there. Some of the rest are good, a few decent, couple clunkers.

Arguably their biggest song, November Rain, is on UYI 1.

Not to mention their EP between Appetite and UYI is a really good album, too. Not great, but good for what it was.

 

[bodyboarder]

Must really want that pay day.

there will probably be riots.

That isn't revisonist history though. UYI 1 & 2 while having some great songs doesn't make them great records if they have clunkers. They should have kept it to one album and cut the filler.

if someone is a fan of a band, i don't see why they should care 25 years later were the songs they like on one or two discs. and many great albums have bad songs.

One of the best albums ever made. They were also amazing live back then.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Guns N' Roses Confirmed to Break Up at Cochella

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

If you know the audience at coachella I can't imagine anyone gives a shit about this terrible ass band. At the drive in reuniting at the festival was fucking rad though when I went.

lol. Uh huh.

 

[ThisGuy]

And as we venture deep into the wilderness of the intranets we may catch a glimpse of some foreign and strange creatures.

What's this?! Oh look, edginess maximus!

Such a treat.

 

[BigJonsson]

I hope they come to Toronto lol
