Bumping to state that, apparently, it is official from twitter pages like Slash and Duff, etc., they are going to be playing Coachella.  Let's see how this goes.  All I can hope for is that if Slash does not like this reunion goes, that he does not derail any plans that Myles has with Alter Bridge.

Gosh I really hope the reunion goes well enough that AB gets some significant amount of time where Myles doesn't have an obligation to Slash. I love the stuff Slash and Myles come up with, but AB is one of my favorite bands out there and I'd love to see them have more time to write and tour.

I'd rather see a Spice Girls reunion.

Funny you should say that.  I saw this link from the GNR forum since one of their members titled it "The reunion announcement has finally come!!", this was before all of the GNR stuff has becoming apparent.

See, now that's worth it.

Not so Baby Spice and really fuckin' Old Spice. Not quite so Sporty Spice anymore and never-was-that-scary-anyway Spice.

It's sure better than Axl Spice. I think Baby Spice looks pretty good. I didn't check the others out.

This, I don't want to turn this into an Alter Bridge thread but it's likely that if Myles spends so much time with the Slash project like the last few years with the World on Fire tour, it would take away from the time with AB. I doubt that will be the case this year though, they're working on the new album and Tremonti should have the time too, Dust is apparently already finished (they're just waiting until April or something to release it), so I think AB V should be well underway

Yeah AB V is supposed to come out in 2016, my issue hasn't necessarily been AB not putting out albums, its more the fact that they tend to not tour to support those albums much in recent years. That's due to the fact that Tremonti and Myles are already booked with other obligations. 

Anyway... I agree I don't want to make this into an AB thread, so back to my original point, I'll be curious to see how long this "reunion" lasts. I feel like Slash doesn't have much to lose, so if things aren't going well he would probably be comfortable walking away and heading back to doing his own thing.

Just the exact opposite for me.  I hope Tremonti and Wolfgang continue the bro-mance and Myles has no choice but to continue making awesome classic rock with Slash.   Tremonti is good and all, but there are two songs, one AB, one Slash (I have to go back and listen, but I will if you want me to) that are almost the same vocal melody and what not, but the backing is different.  The AB version is that sort of I don't know how you call it style that Tremonti plays (not nu metal, but like Audioslave or Korn) and the Slash version is more Aerosmith-y, and the Slash version just slays the other for me.

I'd be here tomorrow if I would compare everything, but out of all the Myles/Slash stuff I think you might be talking about The Unholy (that has the biggest AB vibe IMO), in which case I would probably agree, that's one of my favorite songs and beats most AB songs.

Yeah obviously it comes down to personal preference, if you like the stuff Myles creates with Slash more than AB, I totally get that. It's definitely got more of a classic rock, blues-based sound (which is basically Slash). AB definitely has a more modern metal/hard rock thing going on.

Yeah, I think I remember reading somewhere that The Unholy was the only song on WoF that Myles contributed guitar parts to, so that probably plays a role in it sounding "ABish"

I'm traveling this week (which means I have a ton of time on my hands), so I'll get the songs I'm referring to soon.  I don't think it was "The Unholy", since it is either from Live From Amsterdam or One Day Remains.

Well the AB song could still be from One Day Remains or Live from Amsterdam if the Slash song you were referring to was 'The Unholy' right? We'll see, let me know if you found out, I'm curious

Duh!!!  You're right.  I was so focused on the AB side that I wasn't thinking.   Another example (though not as good, and not the one I was thinking about) is Metalingus and Anastasia.

Right, so GNR has announced that they are doing two shows in Vegas before Coachella.  Tickets range from $80-350.  There are also big-ass VIP packages with the highest being at $2,500.  Here's the link to the VIP packages.

https://www.axs.com/events/306247/guns-n-roses-tickets/promopage/4074?skin=tmobile

So, is that the best way to get the most enjoyment in Las Vegas for the sort of money people might spend on a GNR show or no?

Surely I'm not the only person thinking this was an April Fools Day gag. :lol
If they survive long enough to get to Oz, hell yeah I'm going. One of my biggest concert regrets was not being able to see them when they came out here ages ago (2008 maybe?).

The Axl Rose Band ?  Nah - I missed that on purpose.

But I did see them with Skid Row , Calder Park (middle of nowhere) 1993 in 40 degrees and pissing rain................took us most of the night to get home but was worth it.

Sure it's not what I'd call GNR, but it still would have been a cool gig to see. He was singing great at the time, and I like the music. 
Speaking of Skid Row, I think Sebastian Bach opened for that GNR show? He came out once or twice after that too, didn't get to any of them. Would have liked to see that.

The real tour hasn't even started and Axl Rose has already slipped at a show and broken his foot. :lol :lol

Now, I am not laughing at anyone getting hurt, but at the train wreck that will be this band yet again.

I was toying with the idea of going to see them, but I'm not shelling out the bucks to see him sitting down. Yeah, he's making the best of it using Dave Grohl's guitar throne and I respect that, but I will catch them some other time.

I'm with Stadler. I saw the 'new' lineup a few years back and it was wicked good.
Them musicians are killer and they were even more killer together. I'm actually kinda sad that they all got the boot just so this can get put together. Would love to hear an(other) album outta those guys. Thought it woulda happened by 2015. Guess I thought wrong; best not hold my breath on it ever happenin now.

As much as I'd like to check this out (especially with the NJ show being 15 minutes from me), don't think I can justify the cost. I'll just hold on to the memory of seeing Slash play most of Appetite for Destruction while touring with Myles a couple years ago.

Good Guy Dave does it again.  I think the Good Guy Greg meme should be replaced with a pic of Dave Grohl instead.
