This is Slash.<\/p>\n

He used to play\u00a0in a little known band called Guns and Roses.<\/p>\n

When they ruled the planet… they looked like this…<\/p>\n

\"slashguns\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But then Axl got famous, became a maniac, and one by one… the guns ranks were depleted.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, Guns and Roses looks like this…<\/p>\n

\"slashcurrentguns\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a member of The Replacements over there on the left… wth?<\/p>\n

While the sheer iconic power of what Guns and Roses was… seems to keep people fairly interested in what Guns and Roses is… at best, it is a pale shadow of itself, mining the glory of 20 year old albums while people still care.<\/p>\n

That could be remedied by an original lineup Guns and Roses. Or at least, a “Use Your Illusion<\/em>” era roster.<\/p>\n

At the very least… you gotta have Slash, or you get what you have now…\u00a0a Guns and Roses cover band with a guy who sounds a lot like Axl Rose… but looks more like Axl Rose’s dad.<\/p>\n

At a recent stop\u00a0on CBS This Morning, the famed guitarist hinted that the landscape has changed and the possibility for a legitimate Guns reunion was something he could support, if the conditions with Axl were right.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we haven\u2019t really talked in a long time, but a lot of the tension that you were talking about has dissipated. We don\u2019t have all those issues anymore. It\u2019s not a lot of controversy. It\u2019s something that is more perpetuated by the media, more than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

So does that mean a reunion is\u00a0in the works?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got to be careful what I say there. I mean, if everybody wanted to do it and do it for the right reasons, I think the fans would love it. I think it might be fun at some point to try and do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slash is currently out supporting his ‘Beneath the Savage Sun’<\/em>\u00a0song,\u00a0a collaboration with the International Fund for Animal Welfare to raise awareness for endangered elephants being poached for their ivory.<\/p>\n

Here is his CBS This Morning appearance…<\/p>\n
