Guns N' Roses Offered Over $100 Million to Reunite

Guns N’ Roses now resemble a solo project for Axl Rose and whomever he feels like bringing on board at the time, and the results have been met with a lukewarm reaction (to say the least) from the general public. But former guitarist Slash has dampened any hope of a full band reunion in an interview in GQ magazine.

"Things were so abrasive by the time I left," he said. "I've never thought, 'Oh, wouldn't it be nice to get back together'. Because I know it wouldn't!" He added that the last tour by the band, in 1993, was "an ongoing exercise in how we could bond the least. It just got worse and worse."

Slash also revealed that some big money offers have been fluttered in the direction of the original members of the band. "I can't remember exact numbers, but [the offers have been] excessive," he said "Seven, eight-digit kinds of things." Incredibly, when asked if the amount was higher than $100 million, Slash admitted: "Yeah.”
