New band name?

[LIGuns]

It's been discussed, I'm ok with Axl continuing as GNR but what would be some cool band names?
WAR Machine would have been perfect for the last GNR incarnation...

I think it would be cool as hell to see Axl perform under a new band name, that's just me.

[D-GenerationX]

Not at this point.  The time to consider performing under a new name was 20 years ago.

And I wouldn't have thought it smart then, either.

That's another debate, plus I'm not talking about what is financially beneficial...just what I think would be cool to see.

[D-GenerationX]

I don't see what it changes, to be honest.

Axl is a procrastinator extraordinaire.  I'm not sure what a different moniker changes.

"It's one of the few times that the legal profession has taught me something," Waters said. "Because when I went to these chaps and said, 'Listen we're broke, this isn't Pink Floyd anymore,' they went, 'What do you mean? That's irrelevant, it is a label and it has commercial value. You can't say it's going to cease to exist . . . you obviously don't understand English jurisprudence.'"

The point tof view this was if Axl were to rename the band what would an interesting name be..I'm lol for keeping it GN'R..

[norway]

Axl and the other guys
Where's Buckethead?
This is not a reunion
welcome to the pimpslap
teh late band
the creatures from ron's beard
Chinese wokmen
 It's so ginger

And then they could rename some songs, like 'you're frigging mentally ill' so they don't offend overly sensitive bigots.

tnx, going back to irl, bai

Hmmm.  Perhaps it was Roger Waters that was giving Slash and Duff advice on how to handle all this.

[TheBaconman]

I am honestly surprised Duff and Slash havnt pressed more....   For more rights to the name.

We all get it....  Axl Owns the name....   That's it....

He doesn't own the songs, or the right to use the songs...   

[Bridge]

I am honestly surprised Duff and Slash havnt pressed more....   For more rights to the name.

I don't think Duff or Slash care at this point.  This was a dead horse to them years ago.  The last thing they need in their early 50s now is to resurrect what is sure to be a long-dragging lawsuit over a band name.  Slash and Duff don't need that kind of weight and agony now.... they both quit GNR to rid themselves of it to begin with.

GNR is still Slash and Duffs a huge cash cow for them

Why wouldn't they want the most from the brand?

If they wanted nothing to do with anything?  why sue Axl,,,,

So you say they went to court with Axl...   Then won...   But that was it?   They had so much energy to win a law suit....   but don't want anything that comes with the winnings...

Axl owns the name.....

That's it.....

I would love to see all guns n roses songs promoted better......

why wouldn't you?

I largely agree.  It think they have moved on.  Its human nature to not dwell on something you know you fucked up due to your own foolishness.

The only time I think they really gave this much thought was when Axl first re-emerged with a new cast of characters calling themselves "Guns N' Roses".  I think, at that point, there had to be at least a part of them kicking themselves.  Realizing that if they weren't so short sighted, he would never be able to do this.

But, once you realize you can't turn back time, you sort of deal with it by not dwelling on it.

that's what there whole lawsuit was about

Ok Axl

You Own the name of the band.......   

But that's it......     

Every past song has to be past through duff and slash......

And they seem more than willing these days.

How long has that ring been on that finger for....

It would have to break out the Crisco, lube it up, prey and tug, to get that poor ring off..   hahaha

[raindogs70]

I guess he could go the Geoff Tate route and use one of the album names as the band name. 

"If I hadn't secured the rights, I don't know where I'd be and I'd probably call what would then be the current lineup 'THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS!!'
