In the harrowing saga regarding the on-again, off-again induction of Guns N’ Roses into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at this weekend’s ceremony, the Hall of Fame has cast the final word, at least for now.
Guns N’ Roses have chosen Irish classic rockers Thin Lizzy to open eight dates this spring. The May and early June run of shows through the United Kingdom begins on May 19 in Nottingham.
Axl Rose of Guns’ N’ Roses ejected a rowdy concert-goer from the band’s Saturday night (Dec. 17) concert in Vancouver, Canada with a barrage of profanities and a witty rendition of ‘Happy Trails.’
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.’
Guns N’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beastie Boys are among the acts to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Donovan, Laura Nyro and The Small Faces/Faces have also been named as inductees.
Guns N’ Roses fans in Nashville, Tenn. got a surprise on Sunday night as the band reached deep into their catalog to perform ‘Civil War’ for the first time since Slash was still on Axl Rose‘s Christmas card list. Rose’s recent inclusion of songs from the ‘Use Your Illusion’ albums that he’d long ignored has his supporters in a tizzy.
Ever since Guns N’ Roses started their North American tour last month, fans have been wondering if there’ll be a new album headed our way sometime soon. In a recent interview with Billboard.com, longtime keyboardist Dizzy Reed said that the band has enough material ready for a new project.
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 crew have been delivering a mix of newer tracks, old favorites, and covers of two classic AC/DC tracks – ‘Riff Raff’ and ‘Whole Lotta Rosie.’
During Sunday’s Guns N’ Roses concert at Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico, frontman Axl Rose stopped the show after fans threw objects at him.
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.
It’s official! Guns N’ Roses will embark on their first U-S tour in five years. The trek kicks off on October 28th in Orlando and includes 30 stops in cities across the country with a couple of dates scheduled here in Texas.
