I have a theory, that GNR were gonna reunite which is why Irving was hired in the first place. Scott Weiland said the contracts were ready to be signed.... >Why would he lie?What would Scott gain from lying about this?

Axl has changed his tone over the years to now including Izzy and Duff..... 


Slash is a cancer but why? what has  Slash done to be a "cancer?

my theory is Contracts were  gonna be signed and they were gonna do some festivals.

Every one was on board but Slash and talked the guys into balking unless they got back a piece of GNR..

so that would qualify as a cancer right?]]></summary>

			<link rel="alternate" href="http://www.thegnrsyndicate.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1917&amp;action=new"/>
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[In the aftermath of Reading, Leeds, and Dublin shows, Mick Wall weighs in on Axl Rose and the future of Guns N’ Roses .

Axl Rose goes on stage so late it causes the show to be curtailed. Axl Rose blames everybody except himself. Axl Rose fans go home angry and bitterly disappointed.

Um, is it just me or do those last three sentences induce a feeling of déjà vu? I mean, we really have all been here before, right? So many times, in fact, you begin to wonder if Axl isn’t just enjoying some sort of cosmic joke no one else is weird enough to get.

Even the most ardent Axl fans (a rapidly swindling band of naysayers) must surely admit after these latest episodes in Reading and Leeds that the whole sorry saga went way beyond the realms of ‘boring’ centuries ago, passed through the nebula of ‘unacceptable’ even before Slash and co walked out, and now resides inside a file marked ‘mental’.

And yet… I can’t be the only one either that finds the continuing war Axl seems to be waging against himself – and make no mistake, he’s the one that suffers ultimately, as he sits up all night furiously surfing the internet for mentions of his name, as insiders tell me he does – utterly compelling.

[url=http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/reading-festival-guns-n-roses-pictures/]See the pictures of Guns N’ Roses from Reading[/url]

Me and Axl are about the same age. We grew up in a world where rock wasn’t just some pre-packaged item on a virtual shelf you could instantly download and try on for size. We came of age in a time and place called the 1970s when rock really was considered the last refuge of the outlaw. You didn’t join a band to make a million bucks. You did so to shake things up. Freak out the straights. Fight the man. Fuck all the rules until they bent so far backwards they broke in two.

It could be argued that when Axl refuses to come onstage until he’s good and ready, tells anyone who tries to impose their will on him to fuck off – including his own band, record company, managers, whoever – that it’s a simple manifestation of the philosophy he and I and a whole generation of others like us grew up believing in. That rock was something you needed to have the right juju to conjure up. Some found it through drugs, sex, black magic, or combos thereof. Whatever gets you through the night, as we used to say back in the very long day and even longer night.

The trouble is, that was then and this is now. And it’s one thing to want to sex-up your act, recharge the vibe, so that you can bring it to the people when you finally hit the stage. But when the magic backfires and all you do is piss off the ones that love you most – the fans – then something is very badly wrong.

There’s a reason Axl didn’t make it to the stage on time in Reading and Leeds and it’s got nothing to do with the spirit of rock’n’roll rebellion – or taking a nap or any pre-show deal he now says he made, as reports have suggested. It’s the same reason, in fact, that Chinese Democracy took 12 years to make and reportedly over $13 million. I think you know what I’m talking about.

Let’s hope Axl feels better one day soon. Or better still, calls Slash…

people sign up and we draft our own bands.

band will consist of 
lead singer
2 guitarists rhythm and lead
bass
drums
keyboard


draft will be random and will snake

after its over, we will debate who drafted the best band.

if u are interested, say u want in!
to make it more clear to those who have never participated in fantasy type games:

say we get 3 people

SLC
Timothy
D

SLC gets first pick. if he takes Axl... Axl is off the board and he is SLC's only. 
then Timothy picks
Then I'd pick

and starting 2nd round it would go
D
Timothy
SLC

that way it makes it fair so whoever picks last isn't at a disadvantage.]]></summary>

Though the game has been presumed dead so many times you’d need an abacus to keep track, “Duke Nukem Forever” is very much alive – and he’s coming to store shelves soon.
[img=300,191]http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/ga/buzz/feature/vg30/duke-nuke-em-forever_300.jpg[/img] 
Take Two Interactive Software pulled off one of the video game world’s biggest surprises Friday, announcing not only that the over-a-decade-in-development first person shooter was nearly finished, but backing that claim up by giving the 150,000 people attending the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle the chance to play the game. 

The rest of the world will get its chance in 2011 – on the [url=http://videogames.yahoo.com/pc/]PC[/url], [url=http://videogames.yahoo.com/xbox360/]Xbox 360[/url] and [url=http://videogames.yahoo.com/ps3/]PlayStation 3[/url]. 

First announced in 1997, “[url=http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=duke+nuke+em+forever&fr=games-flipbook&ygmasrchbtn=Web+Searchcs=bz?]Duke Nukem Forever[/url]” became an annual presence on vaporware lists and a running joke among gamers for its molasses-like development schedule and frequent restarts. A year ago, it appeared the final nail had been hammered into the game’s coffin, when developer 3D Realms ran out of money, let go virtually all of its employees and began a legal war with its publisher, Take-Two Interactive Software.

That suit was settled earlier this year, however. And while 3D Realms is no more, Gearbox Software, the studio behind “Borderlands” and “Brothers in Arms” (and staffed with a number of former 3DR employees), has taken over development on the game. 
 
"Gearbox has enabled die-hard key Duke Nukem franchise builders and skilled veteran game makers to stand together and deliver,” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “All gamers deserve a happy ending and after all of us gamers feeling the full range of emotions about Duke Nukem Forever, I am thrilled to be in a position with the trust, power and means to make it happen.”

“Duke Nukem Forever” is, technically, a sequel to 1996’s “Duke Nukem 3D” - though normally a sequel takes no more than three years to put together, while “DNF” started in the Clinton administration.

The game missed ship-date after ship-date, and many began to assume it would never see the light of day. Many pointed to 3D Realms co-founder George Broussard as the reason for the delays – noting that his obsession with perfection for the title resulted in a never-ending cycle of changes. 
The bad times are over now, though – and the game is nearing completion. And after 13 long years, some of the industry’s most core fans at PAX have finally gotten to see for themselves if the wait was worth it
