Guns N' Roses came close to reuniting

Scott Weiland tells Classic Rock that Guns N' Roses came close to reuniting around their Greatest Hits release, and says he would pay to see it.

Former Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland, who acrimoniously split from the band earlier this year and has recently been sentenced to eight days in jail, has been speaking to Classic Rock about his ex-bandmates who, of course, are all former members of Guns N' Roses.

Asked about what he thought his former bandmates should do now that he has quit Velvet Revolver, he said: "I think they should get Guns N' Roses back together, to tell you the truth. I think that would be the greatest thing that they could do. I think the world would be very happy. If they could stop talking trash about Axl [Rose, GNR frontman] in the press. It almost happened. The pens were ready to sign. With the 'Greatest Hits', there was a possibility [of a reunion], but there was too much stuff being said. But it was a close call. I would love to see that happen, as a Guns N' Roses fan. I'd pay to see it".
