Daniel Grabowski I know axl rose can still sing!!! I heard him while he was skimming my neighbors pool this past summer
Joe Ramsey Loved GnR back in the day... hate to see them turn into a parody of themselves for the paycheck, but it's inevitable at this point. Hell, Slash has been doing fake shows with wannabee Rose singers for the last few years.... Too bad.
Eric Draven Why even give this douchebag a platform now that he is probably hard up for cash? He refused to appear at the rock and roll hall of fame when the band was being inducted. He was, is and always will be a whiny bitch who ruined a great band.
Richie Knoell Then he'll throw a tantrum and not show up to the gig. I like G&R, but Axl Rose is a true "Rock & Roll Douchebag"! He must need money. Beg your fans for forgiveness, dipshit.
According to one source (http://melodicrock.com/articles/news-feed/2015/12/30/guns-n-roses-reunited-lineup-tour-announced-january-6):
But its not what people might have expected.
From everything I have heard from multiple trusted sources, the new Guns N Roses lineup will consist of:
Axl
Slash
Duff
With:
Richard Fortus
Frank Ferrer
Dizzy Reed
All of this is rumoured until confirmed, but from what Ive heard, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin and Matt Sorum are not going to be involved.

(10,418 posts)But I think they are one of those bands that you outgrow as you mature.
Slash has actually been making some very good new music with Miles Kennedy and the Conspirators. I think he should have kept going in that vein and skipped a GnR reunion.
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Mike Love went to court for the right to own the name Beach Boys.
He's made a pretty lucrative living from playing wineries and state fairs with Bruce Johnston and no other Beach Boys on stage.
There's no way that he was going to let Brian Wilson and Al Jardine back into the band with a controlling interest. He went on the 50th anniversary tour with them and immediately fired them at the tour's conclusion.
Same thing with Axl. He's been able to make a living touring as "Guns 'n' Roses" with a whole new roster of players. He'll go out for a massive cash grab, split it with Slash and Duff, and then they will all go their separate ways again.
