Wow!  Slash didn't show??  WTF??  confused

So I guess since he knew Axl wasn't gonna show, he figured he'd show peoples that he's REAL GNR too and not show up neither?  hihi

The surprize is not that Slash and Axl weren't there.  Is to see how many people believed they would attend that "thing"

Some people (in that case, a guy named Steven) needs some people more than other (in that case Axl)

Axl doesn't need to be part in that.  He fills up arenas every where he goes with Guns N' Roses.  The CD is hopefully coming out soon, he has NO need whatsoever to go in the past just to make money.

I really never thought for a second Axl was going to show up. I'm happy Izzy did, surprised Slash did not, and surprised Duff did with his family situation. Either way I bet it woulda been a fun show to go to.

Heard some rumors that Slash was in the house but didn't perform. 

I contacted the Key club in case they would be kind enough to answer if he was there or not.

I personnaly doubt that info, but every thing is possible

I doubt that to, but maybe Slash was there just incase Axl did show up so he didnt want to be a dick and ruin it...but likely not

Instead of picking apart who didn't show and why, I just think it's cool that Duff, Steven, and Izzy were together again, if only briefly.  I have no personal interest in seeing a reunion of any kind, and God knows Steven seems to be a bit detached from reality more often than not, but it's great that so many people - including old friends and bandmates - came out to support him.   beer

i agree. i never want an old gnr reunion at all, but its definitely cool of duff , izz, and steven to jam together to celebrate the 20th year....i know people that went and they enjoyed it...

Well said, bazgnr!  I agree.  I'm sure it was a fun show to see, no matter what.  Thanks to everybody who gave updates!  (Sorry for my small outburst, there, at one point....)

Show as actually okay - even though it was basically a cover band.  The lead singer has the best voice of any impersonator I have heard to date and it was cool seeing duff and izzy as well as Steven. 

Ironically one of the opening acts was really cool (I felt LA Guns sucked), but a band called Auburn Court (all girl band) was actually really really good.  What's wild is that they had a HUGE fan base at the club; as in when they went off stage half the place cleared out until around Midnight when Adler came on.  They actually had as big or bigger crowd than LA Guns.  LOL.  Anyhow, I don't know any of the girls, but they kicked ass so props to them. 

The one thing I must admit that I walked away knwong 100% certain is that AXL ROSE IS GUNS N ROSES.  I know it's a constant arguement on this board, but I got to thinking while I was at the show last night - even if Slash shows up right, with that overweight Axl impersonator singing, it's just a cover band playing songs.  I know that sounds harsh and it isn't completely accurate in that 4 out of 5 bandmembers would be cool, but without Axl, there is no Guns N Roses and Axl with 7 other band memebers is more Guns N Roses than 4/5's of a cover band; like it or not.  Take note Scott Weiland.  The sales for Libertad show it.  You're simply an Axl impersoantor trying to create new material with 3/5 of Guns N Roses - like it or not. Oh, and the lead singer of Adler's appetite is defintiely better than Weiland in my opinioon as well; not that it matters.  Closest I have heard to Axl in a long long time (if that is what he was going for).

One thing was very very crystal clear - this was an Adler's show with special guests, not an AFD anniversary party! It was never about the anniversary.
Yes, he was selling AFD 20 anniversary commemrative shirts but that was just using the situation to make extra cash.
It seemed to me he had manipulated his old band members to think this was really going to be an anniversary party and to show up, only for them to later realize this was all Adler's gig (where Adler was the center of attention and star).
That is why Slash never showed up on stage. I saw evidence he was in the club before Adler's show started. But to be honest, I wouldn't be surprized if had left long before the show ended.
That is why Duff looked so unhappy and sort of dragged on stage.

Slash was there and was supposed to play Jungle - (I was backstage with all of them), don't know why he didn't.

Also there was his Slash's mom and Gilby and Danielle Clarke.

What was kind of interesting, there was this dude that works with GNR but is good friends with all 4 of the ex gunners - he was actually telling Danielle how successful the tour in Japan was and that they'd just come back last sunday I believe, and all sorts of cool stuff.  He really seemed to get along with everyone there.  Didn't catch his name or met him though, just overheard as I was standing against a wall checking my email.

Here's a couple of pictures:

Look at the lies Slash is leading

It'd be cool if Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven play together.

But I'm sick of Steven thinking that he'd be involved in a GnR reunion (you know what I mean- the old band). As far as I'm concerned, if the old band does reunite, I'd want to see Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Matt.
Steven was fired because he couldn't handle the Illusion stuff. I'd want to see the old band play Appitite stuff, of course, but also classics from the Illusions. Matt can do that. Steven can't.

Perfect solution - If there would ever be a reunion, have Matt play the Illusion songs and adler play the AFD songs, that would work and everyone would be happy

if ! there would be a reunion-show..i?m pretty sure that it would be like that, divided into 2 sets..one illusion - one appetite

As the dust settled, Axl stared unblinkingly at me and, with no hint of irony, summed up GN?R?s philosophy: ?We don?t start anything. But if you mess with us, then we?ll fuck you up!
