Nuguns Members you'd love to see perform with Guns N'Roses again? 🤔😀💡

A few of my new Guns N'Roses Threads have been duds and got closed just hours later. This thread, this thread here is the one that's a good idea Thread.😀

 

I think a LOT of Guns N'Roses Fans would like to see Robin Finch and Buckethead perform with Guns N'Roses again. 😀I think Gilby Clarke is Nuguns too, and I think a LOT of Guns N'Roses Fans would love to see Gilby perform with Guns N'Roses again. 😀

I'd love to see Robin and Bucket head play the Chinese songs with the solos as intended, This I Love and Prostitute would be *chef kiss*

That whole period of downloading and burning bootleg from that era and hearing the songs as they evolved before CD was released was pretty special.

I’m just glad this time is over. And no, Gilby was never new Guns.

No he isn't.

I'm fine with none of the nu members getting on stage with them again.

Honestly, I have fond memories and enjoy the NuGNR era, but it should stay in the past. The fact that they even do Chinese songs (regardless of if you like the Slash/Duff versions or not), have Richard, Frank, and Dizzy still in the band, and are putting out leftover NuGNR tracks out as "new" songs are all more than enough of a nod to that era. I personally don't need to see any of the other NuGNR guys guesting. They all moved on with that chapter in their lives and it would probably be weird to see Robin or Bucket jump up on stage. Bucket won't even acknowledge he was in the band, and Robin probably got his closure by playing a song in 2012. The only one I would really be all- for was if Brian had to fill- in or replace Frank for some reason. 

It would always be nice to see Steven, Izzy, Matt, or Gilby for a song or two since the reunion is a nod to the classic era, but I don't even foresee that. Adler managed to bring a lot of baggage in 2016. I don't blame him, he seems to still have demons and he was probably beyond hurt he wasn't included more, but I also can't fault Axl and the guys for caving. The guy seems like an invitation for difficulties. It was nice to see him get a few songs in with his old band, though. 

More guest spots would be fun, but truthfully it isn't worth anyone in the band's time. Having Izzy or Adler pop up again for guest spots would drum up an UltimateClassicRock headline, but most people would not care. They might be able to milk an AFD5 reunion for some additional buzz, but the main hype train left the station in 2016. The draw for most is to see Axl and Slash up there playing nostalgic, hit GNR songs in stadiums and arenas with the old bullet logo plastered everywhere. Having another original like Duff helps sell the illusion of it being like the old days, but the truth is he isn't even "essential" for the touring juggernaut. In hindsight, it is hard to argue with the NITL lineup. This has been the longest going band lineup, ever. Axl, Slash, and Duff seem to have found a great professional groove for getting the job done with a solid and reliable backing band. Even NuGNR had its share of drama among musicians. As much as we all wanted Adler and Izzy involved more, who knows how that would have changed the dynamics. Based on the aftermath of 2016, Adler would have probably fallen apart with all the pressure, and who knows if Izzy would have been steady enough for the amount of shows they do.

In 2016, they could have kept Frank and Richard and had Izzy and Adler up there, still. The Who, Pink Floyd, Stones, Eagles, etc. have all toured with large ensembles and multiple drummers, but the chemistry could have been off, and Axl, Slash, and Duff probably figured "why bother?" Same goes for Slash and Duff stirring the pot to lobby for Sorum. Why rattle the cage when they could go with a reliable, Axl- guy and "yes man" like Frank? Their goal was to turn this into a massive, reliable touring juggernaut that would print money. They achieved that in spades with essentially zero controversy since 2016. It is an impressive feat considering their history. Plenty of other massive bands still manage to fall apart at the seams late in the game. Look at Fleetwood Mac, Kiss, Motley Crue, and more. It all seemed to work out for the best for GNR. 

It is still a shame about Izzy, but what can ya do?

I'd love to see Fink & Bucket again but I doubt that will happen Tommy too, Gilby is oldguns UYI tour era but would be cool to see him & Slash do Wild Horses again

Yikes, I mixed up a Use Your Illusions era Member with Nuguns Member era. ☢️ Hides under bed covers in shame. 🛏️ ☢️

[JimiRose]

Buckethead. having seen them live in 06 and 2010 he is the only one I didn't get to see (paul huge aside..) But sadly can't see this ever happening

[Rindmelon]

The only one I could actually see happening is Stinson replacing Duff for a few shows if he was unable to play a few for some reason. Like how Izzy filled in for Gilby after his bike crash or duff filled in for Tommy in 2014 when he had stuff going on

Josh Freese on Chinese

Robin Finck

I totally forgot about Josh Freese when I start this thread! 🤔💡

[Live Like a Suicide]

As much as I loved the CD era, it just wouldn't feel right to have any of the members back except for Brain (who appears to be the band's studio drummer based on all new songs released since the reunion). 

[rumandraisin]

I can see Tommy standing in for Duff one day if ever the situation arose. 

Of course I'd love Robin to come on for Better or Street of Dreams. Who knows though, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. 

[jamillos]

I'm perfectly fine with just 4tus and Ferrer tbh...

I think same situation could probably happen with Brain replacing Frank

[Lethalis]

Even though I did like some members of that era, I don't see a real reason to have them back.

Bumblefoot had his moments, but with Slash on stage there's really no point of him being there. Tommy could guest on some shows just for fun. But again, I prefer Duff being there.

[SoulMonster]

For the exact reasons it was kind of cool to see Slash and Duff rejoin the band and play Paradise City and Sweet Child, it would be kind of cool to see Robin, Paul, Bucket, Tommy and Josh return to play songs they wrote. No, it would be more than kind of cool, it would be great. 

[beardedranga]

It would be nice if Axl just did a drop in of some sort to a brain bucket performance, feel like those guys could get something to work. Acoustic work with Finck would be pretty nice as well 

[Dean]

If Sorum and Gilby are getting an offer about joining the guys on the stage, then I don't see any reason why the guys that were all over a GNR album shouldn't receive the same offer. Would personally love to see Stinson and Axl share a stage together again...and Finck, Bucket, PHT, Brain...

With all due respect, you don't need to keep starting new threads just for the sake of it. People start threads to discuss topics they are genuinely interested in.

Wonder who Sweersa would choose?

So here it goes...

It would be amazing if Brian Carroll played with Guns again.

I don't try to start new threads for the sake of it. I try to start threads that I think are a good idea, but they end up being closed just hours later. For instance, I started a thread about MYGNR Forum Posters Guns N'Roses/Axl Rose Fan Selfies, I honestly thought it was a good idea, that lots of Posters would post their Guns N'Roses/Axl Rose Selfies, but that thread got only like three replies and then was closed just a few hours later.  Funny thing is that thread was meant to make up for a thread I started called,"Most weirdest Guns N'Roses/Axl Rose threads you have started? And I posted about when I made a thread about William Rose and Axl Rose being Brothers. That thread was closed quickly with no responses except for a "Pointless Thread, locked," reply..

[axlvai]

No fn one.

[DoMw94]

It would be cool to see NuGuns back as a side project in a similar vein to the Conspirators, touring when GN'R is off the road.

But otherwise no, we don't need to see any of them ever again. The band we have now is the band it always should have been, and what it would have been if Slash and Duff never left.
