Guns N’ Roses

It’s a fact that Guns N’ Roses spent an extraordinary amount of time recording ‘Chinese Democracy.’ But according to GNR bassist Tommy Stinson, the bulk of the blame for the drawn-out process really falls on the band’s label for failing to understand what the musicians needed.

Guns N’ Roses fans at last night’s (Dec. 16) concert in Seattle got quite a surprise when former bassist Duff McKagan joined the current incarnation of the band for a run-through of the ‘Use Your Illusion’-era single ‘You Could Be Mine.’ Duff’s band Loaded opened the GN’R show at the Key Arena in Duff’s hometown of Seattle and are scheduled to support another one tonight at the Pacific Coliseum in

This year’s tribute to the late Dimebag Darrell Abbott was a who’s who of heavy metal Gods. Sebastian Bach, Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, former Guns N’ Roses member Duff McKagan, and Tom Morello were just a few of the artists that showed up to honor the former Pantera guitarist, as well as the late Ronnie James Dio.

Axl Rose and Guns N’ Roses continue to surprise fans with unexpected additions to the set lists of their American tour. Last week in Indianapolis, Black Label Society‘s Zakk Wylde joined the band to perform a pretty heavy version of AC/DC‘s ‘Whole Lotta Rosie.’

The Guns N’ Roses concert scheduled for tonight (Dec. 5) in Southaven, Mississippi has been cancelled due to production issues. This is the second show of the band’s current tour to be cancelled for such reasons, the first being their Nov. 23 date in Albany, N.Y.

Now here’s something to gossip about. Taylor Momsen — the actress who played Jenny Humphrey on the CW teen drama ‘Gossip Girl’ — has hit the road with Guns N’ Roses, with her band the Pretty Reckless opening dates on GN’R's current North American tour. How rock ‘n’ roll is that?

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose might be a difficult guy, even for a metal god, but you’d never know it from his interview he did with ‘That Metal Show’ on VH1 Classic last night (Nov. 11).

TV and radio host Eddie Trunk shared the first audio clips from ‘That Metal Show”s upcoming interview with Axl Rose of Guns N Roses on his radio program last night (Nov. 4), with the singer detailing the effort he puts into preparing for the band’s three hour long concerts.

Guns N’ Roses are on tour — and while that means fans can expect some typically unusual news from the road, it also means hours of blistering hard rock music for concertgoers who turn out to see Axl Rose and company. In fact, fans who have been in the audience for recent dates report that shows have been going for more than three hours — and as this lengthy recent setlist can attest, Axl and his c

Guns N’ Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed, who with over 20 years served is the second only to Axl Rose in terms of tenure, was recently kind enough to speak to us on the eve of the the band’s first North American tour (see dates below) in five years.

It must suck to be Axl Rose right now. The Guns N’ Roses singer, who granted VH1 Classic’s ‘That Metal Show’ host Eddie Trunk an hour long interview on Sunday morning (Oct. 30) at the ass crack of dawn, is reportedly suffering from both bronchitis and Montezuma’s Revenge. Yikes!

Guns N’ Roses‘ concert Sunday (Oct. 23) in Monterrey, Mexico, was stopped during the first song after crowd members began throwing unidentified flying objects onstage at the band. Singer Axl Rose halted the gig just one minute into their performance of ‘Chinese Democracy’ after the items were tossed onstage and Rose announced that they would leave if fans continued to “throw s—” at the band.
