Guns N Roses Now

The rock world was stunned in 2016 when it was announced that Slash and Duff McKagan would return to the fold for the Not in This Lifetime... Tour. The reunion was a staggering success, becoming one of the highest-grossing concert tours in history. It proved that despite decades of silence and public feuds, the chemistry between Rose, Slash, and McKagan remains a potent draw for fans of all ages.

Guns N' Roses was born out of the ashes of two separate bands: Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns. Axl Rose (born William Bruce Rose Jr.) and Izzy Stradlin (born Jeffrey Dean Isbell) from Hollywood Rose teamed up with Tracii Guns, Rob Gardner, and Ole Bechdahl from L.A. Guns to form the original lineup. However, it wasn't long before the band underwent significant changes. Slash (born Saul Hudson) and Duff McKagan joined the group, replacing Tracii Guns and Rob Gardner, respectively. guns n roses
