Confirmed – Guns N’ Roses to Reunite without Axl?

We reported yesterday about a rumored reunion
between former Guns N Roses Members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum
(see story below). antiMUSIC has learned from a source close to the musicians
involved in this project that “it is a done deal.” However, our source,
another well known musician who said he would rather remain anonymous,
stipulated that he was told this by one of the above mentioned members
a couple of days before this new group, code named Buck N’ Roses, decided
not to proceed with Buckcherry vocalist Joshua Todd. So there goes the
clever name.
The new group is said to be actively seeking
a lead vocalist. It appears one of the top contenders is Shooter Jennings
(son of country legend Waylon Jennings and frontman to L.A. Hard Rock outfit
Stargunn). Shooter recently jammed with Slash and a few other musicians
in a Los Angeles area club and was said to have “nailed Axl’s vocals” on
the Guns N’ Roses songs the jam group performed with him.
Whether this project will last is another
topic entirely since so many “supergroups” are born and then fade away
before any material can be recorded or many concerts can be performed.
But if this group does last, it promises to be an exciting development
for Guns N’ Roses fans that may just give Axl Rose a run for his money
if the elusive new Guns N’ Roses album “Chinese Democracy” ever sees the
light of day.
Original Report
.
The latest Guns N’ Roses rumor making the
rounds has some of the group’s former members forming a new band together
without the band’s frontman Axl Rose.
Although unconfirmed, a few music outlets
are reporting that original Guns N’ Roses Guitarist Slash and Bassist Duff
McKagan have teamed up with former drummer Matt Sorum and Buckcherry vocalist
Joshua Todd.
Where these rumors started is unclear but
for the moment none of the people involved have gone on the record denying
these reports. We will keep you posted on developments to this story
if there are any.
