Here's a better option...
Axl
Slash
Ron
Izzy
Duff
Matt
Dizzy
ChrisDo "Guns Reloaded", the real band's first original album of studio material since 1991, and relaunch that mother fucker. The right way.
The thing is, other than Slash... that lineup is VERY possible actually.
*exit fantasy land again*

No way Axl goes back to only two guitarists imo. I think the three guitarists, as well as two keyboardists are here to stay, reunion or not.

Well, neither was a contribution by Lionel Ritchie on a new GN'R track called Down By The Sea.
Pretty funny that there actually is a new song called Down By The Ocean.
That Lionel rumor that dragged on for years was always intriguing. It was most likely bullshit because the song kept changing. I remember Seven was mentioned at one point. There was actually a Lionel interview years ago where he mentions this, but no one could ever verify the authenticity of it.
My favorite bullshit rumor was in 2005 when Axl and Izzy were supposed to do a surprise show in Florida. Some forum members actually went to the club.

Wasn't there a club in Texas or somewhere a couple years back that advertised GNR showing up, and obviously it wasn't true?

Ga. Fans Disappointed by Axl's No-Show
Tuesday, April 26, 2005
Axl Rose hasn't cut a new album in 10 years, but his name still draws crowds — even without the man himself.
That was the case Friday night at Coyotes, a small club in Cartersville, Ga., about 40 miles outside of Atlanta.
Contrary to all evidence, Coyotes insisted that the Guns N' Rosesfrontman would emerge from his self-imposed seclusion to play a gig with former bandmate Izzy Stradlin on its humble stage.
The strange story began a few weeks ago, when Atlanta radio station 96Rock started advertising the show. The Associated Press called GNR's manager, who said Rose would not be performing. The station pulled the ads, but the club promised the show would go on, producing a contract apparently signed by someone other than Rose.
In the days before the show, club manager Pete Grim was a bit nervous as word spread about past riots by disgruntled GNR fans. So Grim removed all the club's chairs and tables, replaced glass bottles with plastic cups, hired about 30 bouncers and dropped the cover charge from $20 to $15.
He also handed out photocopies of a three-page contract with booking agency Bryant Entertainment and copies of what he said was a $1,500 certified check sent to the agency as a down payment.
Along came Friday night. About 400 people showed up at Coyotes, some from as far as Florida and Tennessee. The bar's beer prices magically doubled.
Coyotes stuck to its story until the eleventh hour — which in this case was shortly after 11 p.m., when Grim took the stage to give customers the not-so-unexpected news.
"I pretty much knew they weren't going to show up," said Michael Mustin, 25 — who nonetheless came more than 100 miles from Hayesville, N.C.
Grim said the booking agent, John Bryant, had promised as recently as Thursday night that Rose would be there, "and he was going to expect his money whether I advertised it or not."
All three telephone numbers listed on the contract for Bryant Entertainment were out of service. A fourth number, which Grim said he used to reach Bryant on Thursday night, had a recording saying the subscriber was no longer receiving calls. The contract listed the company's offices at addresses in Winter Park, Fla., and Chicago Ridge, Ill. But cross-checking these addresses found the Florida address to be home to a chemical company and the one in Chicago a private residence.
Craig Serritella, 28, from nearby Canton. Ga., said he was skeptical from the get-go, but the chance to see his favorite band was too tempting to resist. "I mean why would they come to Cartersville, Ga., of all places," he said.
The fans, disappointed but not surprised, left in peace.
"No confrontations. No altercations. No arrests," said Cartersville Police Lieutenant T. Ellis.
And no Axl.

^ I forgot about that. This shitty little club got loads of press attention prior to the event and then on the night only had a gnr cover band or something. I'm pretty sure they gave out free drinks by way of an apology for the mix up
edit: sorry, hadnt seen the above.

James LoftonThe best GN'R-lineup ever?
No, that's possibly the greatest band ever created in the history of mankind.
Throw in me and we'll rule the Universe.
Ok...i'm adding you on board.....with me serving as producer. I'd describe the sound as "AFD on Tylenol" and i'm looking forward to the unique dynamics between Buz and Jarmo. Although this is the core line up, at times I'll prob bring in some session guys from the forum though to re-record your parts in the dead of night.
