Frontman Axl Rose - who continues to perform under the band's name with new
musicians - has buried the hatchet with original drummer Stevie Adler.
Adler says he has been talking to former members Slash, Izzy Stradlin and
Duff McKagan about a possible reunion tour and new album.
Adler, who left the band in 1990, wrote on his official MySpace page:
"I saw Axl, talked with him from 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning. We resolved
a lot of f***ing s**t! I said, 'You know the five of us have to get back
together! That's when it will really f***ing take off again! Nothing will be
bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history.'
"He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to
me and said, 'You're the greatest f***ing drummer! We're always telling Axl
you gotta get the band back together!' That's what they said to HIM!
"I've been talking with Slash. I've been talking with Izzy. They want a
reunion."
Rose recently invited ex-rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin to make guest
appearances on the band's tour.
Stradlin left the band after the 'Use Your Illusion' albums were released.
He was replaced by Gilby Clarke.
The current incarnation of Guns N' Roses are due to release their
long-awaited new album 'Chinese Democracy' - a record that has been in the
pipeline for almost a decade - next month.
