TMZ caught up with Axl Rose as he was leaving the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Friday night and they asked him point blank on the possibility of the original Guns N’ Roses reuniting for a tour.

Axl’s answer was hardly a surprise, telling the paparazzo “Not in this lifetime.”

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is now just days away and nobody in Guns N’ Roses, past or present, has a clue of what’s going on regarding an onstage performance.

Slash wants to play. Steven Adler wants to play. Even current GNR member DJ Ashba wants to play and give the fans what they want.

The lone detractor seems to be Axl Rose, which isn’t shocking because he’s been shooting down these talks for awhile now.

The 27th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place Saturday night in Cleveland.
