Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan will Play at Coachella-GNR Reunion Confirmed.

Guns and Roses fans have hoped to have a reunion of the band’s classic lineup for decades, and now those dreams are finally coming partly true.  After many years of speculation it was easy to dismiss the rumors of the band reconciling, but it really does seem to be actually happening.

Axl Rose and Slash have reportedly repaired their friendship after a 20 year long feud.  The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, but Axl did not attend the ceremony, but the original members Slash, Steven Adler, Duff  McKagan and Matt Sorum were there.

2016 is a year of significant importance in rock band history and for Guns and Roses fans.  See the official press release below.
