Slash Talks GNR Reunion / Axl Knocks It Down

i.e. Slash will be happy to play with Axl if he apologises / Axl refuses to apologise

Published 8th Feb 2011

A little bit of a non-starter, this one, but it's a sign that Slash actually WANTS to do something with Guns N Roses once again.

In an interview last week Slash revealed that he would be more than willing to talk about a Guns N Roses reunion, providing that Axl Rose phoned him to say sorry beforehand.

Slash says, "That would be a call I would be surprised to get. If that really happened, I would have to clean out my junk drawer, too, but I don't see it happening. But, if it did happen, I would do whatever it takes to at least have a conversation about it."

Axl, though, was very quick to shoot down this rumour (along with a couple of others).

"Contrary to anyone’s claims, there are no concrete plans nor were there ever for a tour, a relaunch or sponsors (n’ certainly not to replace anyone in the band) beyond a collection of random ideas thrown out by various individuals without any real foundation or negotiations in place other than our prior involvements (which wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to put together). And (for) the record, (manager) Doc McGhee is no longer involved (with) either myself or GN’R".
