Paradise CityOriginal GN'R guitarist Izzy Stradlin jammed with the current interpretation of GUNS N' ROSES at a bit of shows in 2006.In a 2009 interview with AskMen.com, Duff was asked what he thinking of GUNS N' ROSES' latest album, "Chinese Democracy", which was released in November 2008 as a Better Buy exclusive, 17 days later the end all-original GUNS sets, "Use Your Illusion I" and "II". "It's funny; so many people get asked me that inquiry and I gotta figure out why people think my opinion matters," Duff replied. "I think Axl did a heavy job on that record and other than that, the songs and the isthmus are a totally different thing, so for me to really comment on the band, I might as easily be commenting on the new SLIPKNOT record. It's that far distant from me."He continued, "We [GUNS] made our last book in '92 or '93 or something - that was 16 years ago. That was a lifetime ago for me. I was still using and thrust back then. So, that's how long ago it was for me." He then added, "It's ['Chinese Democracy'] great. There are songs on it that I wish and there are songs on it that I don't like, just like any other record."During a 2009 interview with Billboard, Rose insisted that he will never deal a level with former GN'R guitarist Slash again. "One of the two of us will die before a reunion," Rose said. "However sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is." He too said, "I could see doing a call or so on the face with Izzy or having him out [on tour] again. I'm not so comfortable with doing anything having more than one of the alumni. Maybe something with Duff, but that's it." Last year McKagan told Rolling Stone magazine that he's give to the mind of running with Rose again. "I'm not going to be one of those guys who's like 'fuck that, that'll never happen.' he said. "It could very easily happen. I love Axl. We've been done a lot of shit together that nobody can bring that aside from us."In gain to Rose, the current lineup of GUNS N' ROSES includes guitarists DJ Ashba, Ron Thal and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer."Chinese Republic" was a commercial disappointment, selling less than one billion copies in the U.S. (according to Nielsen SoundScan) despite the long wait.ETAsource.
