It's been posted but thanks though 

[pebbles]

could be interesting..i think they are both adults now in a better frame of mind and will probably get along good and have a few drinks afterwards. and i think axl feels like he should be at a place with golden gods in its name so i believe he will show up. 

[Knight of Rose]

sorry my mistake......... 

[.Seal]

Eheheee.. There's a topic of it already on the same page.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Neither one of the guys are going to that.  The Metal Hammer Awards?

[axlrosegnr]

I'll put my money on Axl not being there.....now the after parties are a different story...

[jameslofton29]

As I said on MyGNR - there are currently NO plans for both of them to be there.? And yes, I do know and no I wont tell you how - and YES I am going to the awards as a VIP?

Drop the fake insider shit. This place is already overloaded with them, so stand in the back of the line before you ever even think you would get something that even mildly resembles credibility.

[jameslofton29]

then you can watch me walk up the red carpet when it goes out on TV

I look forward to it.

[A Private Eye]

I can see Slash going he was at the Kerrang awards a year or 2 back and these last year so I wouldn't rule out Slash going. As for Axl going, that seems more unlikely but not impossible he's certainly been full of surprises this year so far so who knows.

As I said on MyGNR - there are currently NO plans for both of them to be there. And yes, I do know and no I wont tell you how - and YES I am going to the awards as a VIP

What do you mean NO plans for them both to be there, they don't have a middle manager who looks after both of them and makes sure they don't go to the same things like a teacher who's seperated 2 naughty kids. It's surely up to them if they want to show up or not.

You think it's up to them who gets to go?? Wrong!

I was going on the assumption both were invited like the original article suggests, if one of them is not invited then obviously they won't just show up. But if both have been invited to the event then yeh I would say the final decision is with them.

[jameslofton29]

Oh and ask Jarmo who knew about the UK tour ages ago........ yep that was me.

Nobody knew about the UK tour "ages ago". Up until recently, CC's policy prevented a UK tour from even occuring. Some sort of deal had to be worked out. But since you know everything you must have already known about that.

[kockstar999]

me too... where are the pics?

He knows a hell of alot more then you, and most people here, and yes I would class him as an "insider", maybe not on the same level as Mysteron but he still has contacts. And since you don't know the guy or what he knows you shouldn't attack him

If he knows everything, he shouldnt spew a bunch of vague shit. These kinds of lines...."And yes, I do know and no I wont tell you how"......"Now that is where you may be wrong....  no confirmation yet but."......."You think it's up to them who gets to go?  Wrong!"....... get really old after hearing a thousand different people say them over the years.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Now that is where you may be wrong....? no confirmation yet but........

Slash is in pre-production with VR and probably be in full recording mode by this date.

Axl? Ummm, no.

[nesquick]

I hope it wil happen. Axl and Slash need to reunite one day or another.

Okay, my bad. ?I can see how it's irritating. ?I want to give info without giving away anything I shouldn't.

So:

a) I have VIP tickets to the event.
b) I can say that there is 99% chance that both parties wont be there.
c) 1 of the parties has been invited.
d) I knew of the tour about 6 weeks ago
e) I apologise for being antagonistic - and I admit it was a bit of showing off about going to the awards. ?Sorry, I'm just pumped.
f) I will still post pics of my ticket/wristband for you anyway.

Oh and if ya wanna see my interview with Slash & Duff from 2005 - www.velvet-revolver.com in the downloads section

Thanks for clearing it up a bit. Well if what your saying is right my money is on Axl being invited, VR haven't really done much in the last year and Axl is up for an award with a tour to promote, so that's my guess.

[Red1]

I removed my posts cause they may cause bad feeling and my tone was wrong.  I dont wanna piss people off.  We all love GNR so.............. lets all be merry again

Fuck that shits me. I wish some people would do there fuckin home work.


 

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Don't worry. On a crappy german TV show yesterday or today they said that GNR split up in 1994

[Tomorrows]

"They'll come face to face"?


Pfft, yeah right - they'll avoid each other like you would a whore with AIDS.

[warrocks]

i remember we already heard slash was invited??? anyway, if axl were invited he won't go that's for sure. 


my 2 cents 

[JB9988]

Guns N' Roses are not split they just did a fucking show today!

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Well that's brand new information, thank you

[Jim Bob]

who gives a shit?

[da_pope]

You never know.
Let cross are fingers.

[jazjme]

acrtually I do see this happeneing, them being at the same place , at the same time, will it change a damn thing , hell fuck no!.. I think they are beyond the BS now, and are cordial as adults. They are profesional musicians, and in the same genre of music, so why do so many think that this means reunion, or one wonbe be there because  the otehr is there, man, serious, though I do forget how many highscool people are on this board, and the mentality really shows.

from GNR strip sorry no link



edit: shit sorry just saw the other topic too tired this morning
 dont know where the story originated and where has it been said that Axl will be at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards please lock or move if needbe mods

[Slashead]

A good opportunity for Axl and Slash to talk and make peace hopefully.

In spite of the haters ! (You know who you are...)

[Tomorrows]

It aint going to happen. Seriously.

[Slashead]

It aint going to happen. Seriously.

No shit ?

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=31216.0

I should take that karma point away from ya! 

[CAFC Nick]

I think the source means since Axl and Slash split, not necessarily the band.

[PhillyRiot]

The interesting part of this all is that there were rumors Slash would join GNR a month into the tour.  June 12th is exactly one month after the 1st NYC show.  Hey, at least there is a shred of hope.

[Smoking Guns]

This is insane.  I hope it is true.  Axl jammed with Izzy on a few songs, why not Slash now?  I am positive about it. It is better then being negative.

[babydolls]

Slash went last year, wouldn't be suprised if he shows up again. As for Axl...well it's the day after Download and he is up for a golden god award (of whom normally perform at the end) so I wouldn't rule it out at the moment

Are you sure?  I was there with a VIp pass all night and def didnt see him. Lemmy, Chad chili pepper and Tony Iommi and anthrax were the people i saw wandering around. wow - if he was there am gutted i didnt see him!

[highend88]

This is taken from SP1AT. I hope they are wrong.

Merck Mercuriadis has told us that Axl Rose will NOT be attending the Metal Hammer Golden Gods event on June 12th.

I think Metal Hammer had probably hoped otherwise. Oh well, shit happens.

So they'll be together but with 6 leather condoms on?

Wake up from your dream Guns N Roses was Axl Slash Duff Izzy & Steven, & Steven could be replaced with Matt, Izzy cant be replaced, neither can Slash or Duff, so the band did split.

Axl can own the name, he cant own our ears or eyes, & what we see in front of us & hear is not Guns N Roses. I'm not saying this new band is crap or ANYTHING its just the matter of fact that this band is not the same one that made AFD & UYI & even SI!!! so WAKE UP!

[Locomotive98]

Axl wont go to that shit... the Metal Hammer awards? i dont think so.

Why not? He plays at actresses birthday parties!

[Red1]

I didn't see Slash last year actually but I believe he was there.  he def wasn't at the after party.  I think Lemmy was last to leave the aftershow - that man can f**kin drink like a fish!  That idiot from HIM was there too - what an arse!

My info tells me that Axl wont be there. 

[RnT]

(sorry if someone did post this )

[HoldenCaulfield]

Posted before, but it'll never happen. No way in the world...

[You Gonna Eat That?]

Yeah Axl probably won't show. Isn't he up for the Icon award or somthing?

[HungerForChaos]

Maybe this was planed by axl to create buzz?

[EFISH]

never heard that.. crazy but even if there both there.. c'mon not a chance they be face to face ... they would stay verry far from eachother

[RnT]

err sorry, I look in the 2 first pages of the forum... ?

but hey, I think this could happen... and make history lol

[warrocks]

no!!!!..FACe to FAce can turn into SCarface 

[EFISH]

hey, there gonna make up some day...why not at this place?

when i say make up.. i do not mean re-unite..so dont start bitchin'

i do not want a reunion. not now, not for atleast 4-5 years.

[johnnythunders24]

seems like a push for publicity for the show, doesnt sound like something axl would show up at...

[Nighteyes]

It would be awesome if this is true,they are grown up men,they should be able to go to the same place

Will this be on tv or something?
I hope someone tapes it if it will

Seems like some of you have just skimmed through the thread and missed this little item.  I know that most people here don't think of Splat as reliable, but...if Merck said it was a no-go... I'd think he knows what he's talking about. 

[Red1]

Neither of them was there.

However, I did meet Sebastian Bach, Jerry Cantrell, A7X, Trivium, Therapy, Nick Oliveri and Will Smith (Jada presented an award).

Was a good night.  Should have some pics to post tomorrow.

[Red1]

My pics from the night:

The band and I arrive:




With Trivium





With A7X




With Nick Oliveri



With Therapy



With Lordi



We also went down to the bottom floor and picked a young guy called George to give a VIP ticket to and took him to meet all of his favourite bands and get some free drinks.

Was a great night!

[warrocks]

omg Lordi has some cool songs BUt their outfits are outrageous! how long must it take to them to put on those customs and make up and stuff?? 

pretty cool customs though   i like "would you love a monster man...."
