Ya tenemos la semilla para la reunión del grupo...
GUNS N' ROSES is among the artists that will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at its 27th annual ceremony on April 14, 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio, home to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame And Museum. Also scheduled to be inducted are RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, BEASTIE BOYS, THE SMALL FACES/FACES, Donovan and Laura Nyro. Freddie King well enter the Hall Of Fame as an Early Influence, while the late producer and TV host Don Kirshner will receive the Ahmet Ertegun (nonperformer) Award and producers Cosimo Matassa, Tom Dowd and Glyn Johns will receive the Award For Musical Excellence.
¿Y qué opinan los miembros actuales y pasados?
El grupo actual emitió un comunicado oficial colectivo:
"So close yet still far away from the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all the 2012 inductees and our sincerest thanks to the Hall's organizers, committee members and voting delegates who supported the GN'R induction — it's a humbling honor to be recognized on this first ballot."
Pero algunos se han pronunciado individualmente también:
Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal:
"25 years of great music, great shows, and great fans . Thanks to all who made it happen!"
DJ Ashba:
"My sincerest congratulations to Axl Rose and everyone else who has been apart of this band's history. Time to deck the halls with destruction!"
Slash:
"Thanks for all the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame mentions. It's quite an honor to be inducted. Cheers!"
Duff McKagan:
"Thanks to all of you for overwhelming number of 'congratulations' that I have received today. Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? Life is good! Killer!"
Steven Adler:
"Thank you all for your support in making this happen. It really means a lot to me. I am happy and excited to be a part of this!"
Parece ser que la reunión está cerca, pero sería con Duff y Slash, dejando fuera a Izzy y al loser de Steven Adler (y por lo visto manteniendo a los integrantes de los Guns actuales)
He told the LA Times: "The only thing that would make it would be Duff and Slash, really. It's nothing against Izzy and it's nothing against Steven, or anything like that.
"Steven may want it, but these guys I'm working with right now, they work really hard and it's hard work. I've toured with the other guys and I've also seen what they've done since, and I just know the difficulties. So it's not really even a full reunion."
Según Dizzy Reed toda la formación original estará ahí...
"I know that all the original band is going to be there," keyboardist Dizzy Reed, the longest-standing member of the current GNR and an inductee that night, tells Billboard.com. "I don't know exactly what's going to go down. It's one of those things I'm sure will all come together and be really cool. I'm just going to go in with a good attitude and a clear head and a grateful heart."

Frusciante es un crack o le da al crack... Dice que él pasa de ir al Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
La especialidad de Frusciante era más la heroína, jeje. Aunque me gusta esa actitud de plantar a los snobs de RnR Hall of Fame, que eso es en plan "la hoguera de las vanidades" del Rock and Roll.
Ahora lo desmienten..
"The story quoted Paul Shaffer's Twitter account as saying GUNS N' ROSES would not be performing at this year's induction ceremony. Please know this tweet did not come from Mr. Shaffer, as his Twitter account is in conjunction with his syndicated radio feature with our network, and all tweets are handled by one of our staff members. No one is exactly sure what will happen at the induction ceremony, and we apologize for the inadvertent tweet."
Slash dice que no tocarán y que Steven Adler estará allá. Por cierto, que Slash estará tocando la guitarra en el nuevo disco de Adler
Slash told QMI Agency he had mixed emotions about the honor. "Either it hasn't hit me yet or maybe it's been so long since I had anything to do with GUNS N' ROSES that I just don't really get it," he said.
"And we're not playing. I would imagine that they asked us to play, but I know that we're not playing," he added.
Slash said that he expects former GN'R drummer Steven Adler to be there, too. "I could be positive Steven will be there," he said. "Steven wouldn't miss it." He was less certain of the attendance of the rest of GN'R's classic lineup, specifically the band's lead singer Axl Rose. The two have not spoken in years and Rose continues to hold a hostile stance toward his former bandmate.
"I don't know," Slash said when asked if Axl will make an appearance at the induction ceremony. "I would assume so but we haven't talked about it."
Pues Rod Stewart sí que se reunirá con los Faces
Rod Stewart will rejoin The Faces for a one-off performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14, when the band are being inducted.
Stewart will sing live with the band for the first time in 19 years next month at the event in Cleveland, Ohio according to The Faces' drummer Kenney Jones. It is the first time the surviving members have played live in public since Stewart was awarded the Lifetime Achievement honour at the Brit awards in 1993.
Speaking to Music Radar, Jones confirmed that Stewart would return to perform with the band. He said: "Contrary to what people might think we're all still great mates and we've never said we wouldn't play together again."
Ahora sí, ahora no, ahora sí, ahora no...
Slash told Loudwire, "I would love to play. It's just, one of those things where I know that it's not going to happen, so… I just did an interview and said, 'I don't think we're playing.' [Laughs]. I mean I think it would be cool to play, but very early on when the whole thing came up, it became apparent that it wasn't going to happen — and you know, that doesn't surprise me. We've been at odds for… well, not at odds, but we just haven't had any sort of communication in a long time so… that's basically it. That's all I can tell you."
