** Now with the Not In This Lifetime Tour, fans are divided into two groups: the ones who don't consider it a ''real'' reunion without Izzy and Steven, and the ones who are just happy to have Slash and Duff back.
Added DiffLines:
* WinBackTheCrowd: Axl definitely did this by mellowing out, burying the hatchet with Slash and bringing him back into Guns N Roses.

* RetroactiveRecognition: A year before the release of the first Music/BlindMelon album, Shannon Hoon contributed backing vocals to six songs on ''Use Your Illusion I'' [[note]]Plus the "alternate lyrics" version of "Don't Cry" from ''Use Your Illusion II'', if you count that as a separate song[[/note]], where he's credited in the liner notes simply as "Shannon". He's probably most recognizable on "Don't Cry", "You Ain't The First", and "The Garden". The "Don't Cry" video also featured Hoon performing alongside the band.

** Izzy. Leaving the band when he did allowed him to avoid getting caught up in the insanity that caused the band to fall apart.
** Bumblefoot. Even with the animal infection-derived stage name, he may be the sanest person to ever play in this band. He comes off disarmingly normal and self-effacing by comparison with pretty much everyone else, though repeating history by starting a side project with Scott Weiland may prove otherwise...

His father was a control freak who raised him believing music and women were evil, he was sexually abused by his biological father, sister, and a guy he hitched a ride with when he was 17, he's been physically abused by his stepfather and siblings, he has struggled with bipolar disorder, and his emotional immaturity is believed to be due to his abusive childhood. That's not even going into his messy relationships and his girlfriend miscarrying, ruining his chance to become a father.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: In a way, Izzy can be considered to be this. His guitar on ''Appetite'' and ''GN'R Lies'' was playing the same as Slash's rhythm guitar parts, only at lower volume, so it's hard to hear his playing at all, and yet he's one of the most popular members. During a concert in 2012 in the O2, London, Axl says "We wanna introduce you to a friend of ours. You might... you might know this guy. Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. Izzy Stradlin." Cue the biggest encore GN'R has received since the Use Your Illusion Tour. For a guy who couldn't be heard on the albums he was credited on, he's pretty damn popular.
** Melissa Reese for the 2016 lineup. Probably by way of being the best singer ever to pass through the band.

** Let's just say there's a reason why they only performed "One in a Million" a few times between ''Music/AppetiteForDestruction'' and ''Music/GNRLies'', and not at all after.
** The Riverport Riot, to the point where people associated with the Riverport Amphitheatre and the incident in question are still sore about what had happened and every major venue in the city was reluctant to book GNR to perform there. There's still bad blood between GNR and St. Louis; a commercial being broadcast on KSHE in 2011 was interrupted simply because the music in the background happened to be "Paradise City", and on GNR's official site for their 3D concert film ''Appetite for Democracy'', the state is apparently deliberately misspelt as "Misuri" in the section listing the showtimes. It would be 26 years before GNR would perform in St. Louis again.

The original plan was for Steven to play during the first third of the shows, Frank Ferrer to play the middle (the songs Steven was never involved with), and finally Steven coming back out to do the rest.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Axl clearly had this in mind when composing "One in a Million", according to some reevaluations thereof. He wanted to force America to confront issues regarding minority relations head-on and expose how bad they were at the time. Apparently, he thought the best way to do it would be to put himself in a bigot's shoes and channel his own negative experiences with said minorities into his writing.
