I’m convinced that Myles Kennedy is a machine! The guy is crazy busy. Slash is a close second, though. Really looking forward to this release, a big fan of this collaboration.
I kind of wonder what will happen if GNR and Slash’s band have schedule conflicts. Maybe Axl will have to re-employ Bumblefoot? I think GNR fans have gotten used to seeing Slash, and may not be too receptive to him not being there. having said that, Slash sure found a hell of a singer to work with. I mean Miles sang Zep songs, with Zep. (not publicly, but still!)
I think with this announcement that its fairly obvious that Gn’R members will work around the bands schedule. These dates fall perfectly between the Euro and fall Far East dates. This tour has gone so well that there’s very little chance that Axl plays without Slash and Duff again. They’ll take their time off to do other things and continue the Gn’R machine that has once again turned into the best band on the planet. Hopefully new music will be next. I just hope Slash keep the Gn’R songs out of his setlist now that hes back in the band so we don’t have to hear Kennedy butcher them!
“T” spot on, dude!
Axl sent flowers to and went to Duff’s daughters’ club show 2 nights ago with Duff. If they don’t get along, I highly doubt he’d be there supporting her and her father, especially considering the hermit he once was. It’s been well known that Slash was going to continue his solo band while Guns were still going. It would’ve happened earlier if the tour wasn’t the massive success it became with numerous added legs. This has nothing to do with the band not getting along. Slash is a workaholic and enjoys working with his side band, and it’s cool that he’s able to do both. Rumors have been out there that Axl, Slash and Duff are all splitting profits, with Axl getting a larger chunk to pay the other contracted members. If that’s true, it’s more than fair. With the integrity that Slash and Duff have shown in their careers, the chances of them being contracted employees like Ace and Peter were are are slim to none.
I’ll admit when I first heard that Slash was rejoining G@R, I thought that I could see that situation imploding at any moment, but as stated earlier, a massively successful tour that you know is temporary can make it easier to get along. It’s also possible that Axl has just simply changed.
I always suspected that Slash’s motivations for finally agreeing to doing this tour, was his impending costly divorce. But it seems to have worked itself out, so good on them. I saw this tour last summer at Giants stadium, so there is, and was, definitely a demand.
