I remember driving to the beach with some friends, a year or two out of high school, smoking weed and listening to the radio full blast. Some total wanker bs comes on and it's from an outfit called Coverdale-Page. We're all thinking -- this from the guy who gave us "Kashmir?'
I'll pass. |

| Are they holding John Paul Jones' kids for ransom or something to get him back? |

Think I'll pass too. That was then, this is now. Good times, but trying to revive something nearly dead just isn't the same. |

They're way past their prime. Plant's voice is rhaspy nowadays.
Look at The Pixies nowadays. Same thing. They reunited and Black Francis' voice really lacks the power it did 10 years ago. |

Why sully their good name? I can't understand the motivation of these geezer reunions. Pride? Money? A last gasp?
Sad. |

| Page and Plant have already worked together in the 90's. That was the reunion. The addition of John Paul Jones isn't very significant. |

Except for ticket sales I guess. I feel kind of sorry for old bands like this. On the one hand I know they're probably sleeping in beds of money, but on the other hand it just looks pathetic. Kind of like an old tired horse you see pulling around kids at a zoo. Both far past their primes...VERY FAR PAST. |

I can't help but feel they will be another old band let down.
Kinda like when Guns n Roses played at the 2002 MTV Music Awards and an overweight Axel Rose with braids got out of breath singing Welcome to the Jungle.
I just can't see Robert Plant putting in performances like he used to, and frankly, if he can't belt them out like the live performance at Wembley in 1971, then I'd rather not seem them have a second rate stab at a comeback and have their legend tainted like Gunners did. |

It wasn't really a Gn'R reunion, it was just Axl and a group of non-gunners playing a melody of Guns n' Roses hits. How can you have a Gn'R reunion with no Slash?? It'd be like a zeppelin reunion with Page or Plant sitting out, just doesn't work.
I think Conan O'Brian described it best when he said "I wanted a REAL Guns 'N Roses reunion, not 'Fatty McGoo and the Guys Who Aren't Slash'." |

Haha! That made me chuckle.
I know Buckethead played lead for a few years when Slash left, but I'm not sure what original members played at the 2002 MTV awards, if any.
Either way, the whole thing was a fucking disaster. |

The Chinese Democracy demos are pretty good.
I'm not too impressed with Velvet Revolver though. No idea how they went platinum. |

I think a lot of Gn'R fans saw Velvet Revolver as more of a Gunners reunion than the "actual" reunion with Axl and the nobodies. I mean, they did have Slash, Matt Sorum (who drummed for the Illusion albums), and Duff MacKegan. Add a relativly well known front man from (roughly) the same era and the album was guaranteed to go platinum regardless of the content. For the record, I didn't think it was that bad, altho the style did sound kind of dated... |
