L'incontro!

Ho trovato questa notizia on line. Non posso garantirne la veridicita', ma sembra proprio che Axl e Slash si siano incontrati in un caffe' a L.A. e sembra che l'incontro sia stato positivo! Forse e' arrivato il momento della tanto attesa Reunion dei guns n roses!

The long wait for a Guns ‘N Roses reunion appears to be close to an end as Axl Rose and Slash, estranged since the mid 90s, have been spotted paling around their home turf of Los Angeles lately, engaged in not so quiet conversations about a future together and how the band that changed rock and roll could end up back on top.

Most surprising is that these two veterans of the sleaze and grim on the Sunset Strip aren’t embracing the past as much as turning the page on a new chapter. The hangouts of choice haven’t been like the days of old at the legendary Rainbow or the Whisky A Go-Go, but quaint little cafes and bakeries in the area. Spotted Monday at Delilah Bakery on Echo Park Avenue, the two shared a blueberry and walnut muffin while Rose regaled his one-time — and likely future — guitarist with tales of how he’s been obsessed with baking for the past 15 years.

“The attacks from the media were relentless man,” Rose was head saying about the long wait for the “Chinese Democracy” opus, a record that was pretty much dead on arrival when it finally hit shelves in November of 2008. “It didn’t bother me though, because I was way to intent on mastering the joconde imprimé.”

“The what?” the guitarist asked.

“Joconde imprimé,” repeated Rose, “It’s this design you bake to add a bit of decoration to a sponge cake. It’s how they get that marbleized look.”

“Oh yeah, man, I know what you’re talking about.”

“Yeah, and I’ll tell you what, you think I was difficult to deal with during the “Use Your Illusion” sessions, you should’ve seen me smashing my fifth (expletive) Viking oven to pieces with a sledgehammer out of frustration — that’s where all those record company millions went!”

Eyewitnesses then had the two of them exploding with laughter as they clinked together cups of honeydew infused melon white tea.

Slash has been involved in a bit of domesticity himself as of late, announcing in February a line of top hats designed to reach an even wider audience than his music.

“The top hat has been my signature,” he said in a statement. “Now, I want to sign it all over the world for everyone to enjoy.”
