Original Guns N Roses members reunite
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 6 January 2016
Slash and Duff McKagan are back in Guns N Roses then, meaning that there are now three original members of the group involved. And that’s enough to secure a headline slot at this year’s Coachella festival.
McKagan has performed live with the band a handful of times since 2010, though guitarist Slash took longer to repair his acrimonious relationship with frontman Axl Rose.
Exactly who else will form the latest incarnation of the band’s line-up is unclear, and it’s also yet to be announced what other plans the outfit has.
Rose was due to appear on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ this week to discuss those plans but cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances”. Though I’m not sure Axl Rose failing to turn up for something can really be classed as “unforeseen”.
Also reforming to play Coachella are LCD Soundsystem, though presumably the pre-reunion conversations held between members of GNR were not quite the same.
