Waiting to buy your Guns N’ Roses reunion tickets? Better bring a lawn chair; your hold time may be forever.

Axl’s buddy Del James recently interviewed him and when the subject of “reunion” came up, Axl was quick to shoot down any chances of the classic line-up returning.

Axl on former GnR bassist, Duff McKagan, “I suppose Duff could play guitar on something somewhere.”

Axl on rhythm guitarist, Izzy Stradlin, “My old Indiana buddy is not the most reliable collaborator.”

Axl on Drummer, Steven Adler, “he brings assorted ambulance-chasing attorneys … One gig or even a couple songs could mean years of behind-the-scenes legal aftermath.”

Axl on Slash, “There’s zero possibility of me having anything to do with Slash, In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer and better removed, avoided — and the less anyone heard of him or his supporters the better, he has lost his edge and seems to be more passionate about being a whore for the limelight.”

I think it’s safe to say, those comments from Rose will put a coffin nail in any chance the once “band of brothers” known as Guns N’ Roses had to unite. Well at least we still have Axl. His latest ill-fated attempt at resurrecting GnR resulted in “Chinese Democracy,” which fell flat with critics and fans alike. It seems Rose has NO democracy, Chinese or otherwise.
