The singer explained that he has preferred not to reunite with his original bandmates in the past because of other people making money out of it.
"I've got mixed emotions about what the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame actually really is, but at the same time, there's a lot of people - the fans - that it just means something to them, and they're happy. So I don't want to take that away from them," he told the Los Angeles Times.
He added: "All these managers, they all believe in one thing - sell a reunion tour and get their commission. It's just a phone call. It's a half a day's work, or however long they want to keep the bidding war going. They get their commission and they don't care if it falls on its face."
Rose said that if they are to reform, he'd rather not have drummer Steven Adler or guitarist Izzy Stradlin, but would have Slash and bassist Duff McKagan on board.
"The only thing that would make it would be Duff and Slash, really. It's nothing against Izzy and it's nothing against Steven, or anything like that," he said.
"Steven may want it, but these guys I'm working with right now, they work really hard and it's hard work. I've toured with the other guys and I've also seen what they've done since, and I just know the difficulties. So it's not really even a full reunion."
Axl Rose added that he and guitarist Slash have never been friends since the band was formed.
"It was really a fight with me and Slash. Izzy was doing the same thing, but the fight with me and Slash started the day I met him," Rose explained.
"He came in, popped my tape out and put his in and wanted me in his band. And I didn't want to join his band. We've had that war since day one."
Duff McKagan recently suggested that the original Guns N' Roses may reform in the near future.
