So it doesn’t sound like it was really up to Frank. That’s what I figured. It still seems like an odd decision after 19 years. I mean if he’s not the man for the job, why did he last so long? He’s even been playing with Slash & Duff for almost a decade now. Are they just now realizing the chemistry isn’t there? I feel bad for Frank in that sense. Seems like it was a surprise to him and he was preparing for the tour.
Well, going by Matt's autobiography Duff wasn't keen on Frank from the off. So it's probably just that it took this long to get to the point where Slash and Duff were sufficiently settled in the band that they could go, "Get rid of this guy" without Axl pitching a fit and nuking the reunion.

Well, he's played in Duff's band so you'd hope the chemistry is there – and the interplay between the bass and drums is the most important factor. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out!
Cue everyone frantically looking up clips of Loaded playing GN'R songs...

Who’s next? Most likely they already know who it is, they’re just not showing their cards yet.
I mean, this is GN'R. Historically you find out who's in the band on the opening night of the tour, that's what happened with both Bumblefoot and Melissa. The only band member who got a formal announcement press release was Ashba, and (with my cynical hat on) that was probably because Ashba had the marketing nous to push for it.

Hoping for Sorum/Adler, reality is it’s probably someone we’re not expecting, and who knows if Brain has changed his tune?
Josh Freese could still be a possibility, even if it’s just these shows this year. Foo Fighters aren’t doing anything anytime soon, as far as I know. I think Grohl is still hiding from the public due to his infidelity.
I remain genuinely baffled that Grohl's infidelity is an issue. He's a rock star, for crying out loud, it's practically in the job description.

Brain! Please, God, bring back Brain!

GN'R proper has been added to the line-up. Alongside Metallica! Better watch out for the pyros.

I just read Ozzy can no longer walk. Is he going to do the show sitting down?
I mean, it worked for Axl.
I suspect that his involvement will be very limited – they'll wheel him out, have him do Crazy Train with Zakk Wylde, maybe Iron Man with Sabbath, and then he'll sit back and let the (impressive) guest list do the heavy lifting, then they'll wheel him out again to close with Paranoid.
It's basically the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert but the subject's not dead yet.

I honestly don't think he will lip sync next year but we will see...
If he’s gone this long without backing tracks why start now.
Quite, particularly since all he has to do is drop the tuning and sing in a lower register. He's aged, voices change, people would understand. He'd be *much* better off doing that and delivering the power than trying to hit the high notes and sounding like Mickey Mouse.
Mostly I'm just angry at these petulant manchildren for not reuniting in 2006 when Axl's voice sounded like this:
We could've had a decade of performances like that, with Slash and Duff up there. Fucksake.

That's terrible news, hope he and his family are okay. Or as okay as anyone can be under the circumstances.
