Graeme Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Currently we have the longest-serving stable line-up of the band since it became active again in 2001. As far as the future of the band goes, I really only wish for three things:New musicMore chances to see them liveThat this line-up stays together from here on out.Having seen these guys play four times together, and enjoyed hanging out with them as a group, seeing a little of the day-to-day life they lead and the way they bounce off each other, they've all endeared themselves to me in their own way... I think they're really good for each other and I look forward to seeing what they can come up with creatively (it's just a shame that putting out new music for this band seemingly can't be done in a straightforward manner).However, a lot of people treat this line-up as though it's as disposable and impermanent as any which have gone before (which, looking at the history of the band is unsurprising)... I just don't think it's reasonable to assume (again, looking at the history of the band) that there's any hope of any previous line-up forming again, and I don't see what's much fun about continuing to wish for members to come and go. I think having a stable line-up certainly lends creedence to their status as a true band against the multitudes of "It's not a band" critics out there.

Crash Diet Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I don't knowI hope new music from Axl. Whatever that music is.But i feel Axl only wants this nostalgia thing only.To be honest: i only "give him" 5-6 years until he retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't knowI hope new music from Axl. Whatever that music is.But i feel Axl only wants this nostalgia thing only.To be honest: i only "give him" 5-6 years until he retiredDespite the fact that Axl comes across as a lot more mellow now, it seems that he lost the drive and motivation of making the best record(s) possible that would put the new GN'R on a pedestal. Then again, he did say that it was very difficult to release material due to all the lawsuits etc that prevent him doing it in the normal manner, so maybe that is why we haven't gotten more material in the last 13 years? This line up play great together and I think it has the ability to write and record a great album together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXL_N_DIZZY Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Yes. I'd like to see this line-up stay together, continue to develop their chemistry and write, record AND release new music- even if it ends up being nothing more than AFD's and UYI's for middle aged millionaires...Other than that- I guess I'd like to see a reunion (however unlikely). I don't think there's much to be gained from further tinkering with "Nu-Guns". That would pretty much be an exercise in futility at this point IMHO. Either go forward with the current line-up OR go back (i.e. reunite Old Guns). Don't "start-over" yet again though...

TeeJay410 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Frankly I wouldn't care if this band disappeared and Axl put out an Elton John like piano/blues solo album with the electronic influences. All I care to hear are the rest of the songs from the CD sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Guns have been a revolving door of musicians since the early 90's. I don't see this line up as permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eu4ic Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Answer to post, No, I dont think, nor do I hope that this lineup is the permanent lineup. It takes a lot to keep a band together. Ron and DJ dont love GNR the way, say, Axl loves Elton or Slash loves the Stones. They just dont get rock n roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
