The most probable reason why Izzy and Steven are not back in the band so far...

[Carlos Gunner]

I think it is that Axl, Slash and Duff do not need them to make good money, as they are making insane amounts of money..

And Steven and Izzy do not add up...

Sad but could be true...

it is the music business.

It is about the money, not loyalty.

it's more about reliability. money, you can manage, but with these two, one can be on stage one
day and in another country the other, without even saying to the others. the other one could relapse
at any stage of a tour and O.D or whatever. at that level at the game, it's not a risk you want to take.
plus, at a personal level, it's not the eighties anymore, they're not close.

these guys have move on decades ago, you should too, because it is not your relationships. it's theirs.
or it was.

Popcorn could play some songs, maybe not as many but you can still have Matt Sorum

Izzy was clear, he was not invited because of the loot

There are rumours of Slash asking a lot of money for the reunion and his part in particular.

So... Axl needs reliability now, after the 90s when he almost destroyed GNR with his primadonna attitude.
