The popular hard rock band Guns N’ Roses, formed in 1985, is reuniting for a headline show. Fans of the band have many questions about what this reunion entails.
Guns N’ Roses has seen many musicians come and go after some original members left. Lead guitarist Saul Hudson (Slash), bassist Duff McKagan and lead singer Axl Rose are going to share the stage once again. The other two original members, rhythm guitar Izzy Stradlin and drummer Steven Adler as well as other members who became a part of the band later, have not indicated whether they are going to join the reunion.
The first of the original members taken out of the lineup was Adler in 1990. He was fired by the band due to his drug problem, and Stradlin left the band in 1991 due to Rose’s behavior, which included being late to shows. Slash quit the band in 1996 because of some of the same issues, as did McKagan in 1997.
The group will be headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this coming April. Whether they will go on a tour or begin recording new music together is still in question. There have been reports of the band possibly going on a stadium tour, but nothing has been confirmed.
