The original Guns N' Roses line-up may perform together again.

The band's former bassist Duff McKagen - now a member of Velvet Revolver with fellow ex-Guns N' Roses star Slash - admits he has not ruled out a return to the group who made him famous.

Duff said: "People ask me about a reunion all the time. I certainly don't sit here and go, 'God, I wish that's going to happen.' I don't even know what's going to happen in four weeks from now in my life so I'm not going to be one of those guys who's like, 'F**k that, that'll never happen.' It could very well happen.

Maybe something with Duff McKagan, but that's it, and not something I'd have to really get down into, as I'd get left with sorting it out and then blamed on top of it

"It would have to be right and it would have to be righteous for everybody and for the fans and it would have to be like a kick a*s thing or it would just kind of be sour I think.

The bassist also quashed talk he doesn't get on with Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose.

He added: "I love Axl. We've been through a lot of s**t together and nobody can take away from us no matter what people try to make of a squabble."

However, Duff will have to work hard at convincing Axl to welcome back his former band mates for a full reunion.

The 'Sweet Child O' Mine' singer recently said he would be dead before he played with them again.Axl said:: "I could see doing a song or so on the side with Izzy Stradlin or having him out on tour again. I'm not so comfortable with doing anything having more than one of the alumni. Maybe something with Duff McKagan, but that's it, and not something I'd have to really get down into, as I'd get left with sorting it out and then blamed on top of it. So, no, not me."In regards to Slash, I read a desperate fan's message about, what if one of us were to die and looking back I had the possibility of a reunion now, blah blah blah. And my thoughts are, 'Yeah, and while you're at the show your baby accidentally kicks a candle and burns your house down, killing himself and the rest of your family.'"Give me a f**king break. What's clear is that one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is. Those decisions were made a long time ago and reiterated year after year by one man."
