: : With what band?I heard he reformed Guns N Roses but with some new guys,is this true? Damn its weird that I'm here talikng about GNR cause I was listening to them today,brushed off the dust on my "Use Your Illusions II" CD.
: It's Guns N' Roses, but Axl is the only original member left. Unless you count Dizzy Reed, he's still there. The rest of the band is Paul Huge (friend of Axl's) on rhythm guitar, Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails) and Buckethead on lead guitars, Tommy Stinson (Replacements) on bass guitar, and Brian Mantia (Primus) on drums.
: They're playing the first GNR show in 7 and a half years on New Years at the House of Blues in Vegas. The show is supposed to be mostly GNR classics, but they are gonna premiere new songs there as well. After that on January 14th they're playing the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil, then they have a new album out in June and a world tour in the summer and fall.
: I'm overly pumped on the GNR thing right now as Im flying to Vegas just to check out this show. Should be a fun New years. Hopefully the new band won't suck.
: Hey Kevin, do you like Guns N Roses?? *phew*
