bumblecool Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Upholding a three-decade tradition of breaking ground, creating trends, and forever changing the face of rock ‘n’ roll, Guns N’ Roses announce the most significant and anxiously awaited musical event of this century. Founder Axl Rose and former members Slash and Duff McKagan will regroup to headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival (April 15-17 & April 22-24)—as announced last night!For months, critics and audiences alike have generated immense excitement and speculation over the possible regrouping of the iconic line-up. The April performances will mark the first time since 1993 the Gunners will share the stage for what is certain to be an explosive event. For more information please visit www.gunsnroses.com.Following the group’s 1985 formation, Guns N’ Roses injected unbridled, unrivaled, and unstoppable attitude into the burgeoning Los Angeles rock scene. The spirit went on to captivate the entire world with the release of their 1987 debut ‘Appetite for Destruction’ –the best-selling U.S. debut ever, moving 30 million copies globally. In 1991, the seven-time platinum ‘Use Your Illusion I’ and ‘Use Your Illusion II’ occupied the top two spots of the Billboard Top 200 upon release. Over the course of the past decade, Guns N’ Roses have performed sold out shows and headlined festivals worldwide following the critically acclaimed release of 2008’s RIAA platinum-certified ‘Chinese Democracy.’ Six studio albums later, Guns N’ Roses are one of the most important and influential acts in music history and continue to set the benchmark for live performances connecting with millions of fans across the globe.

LoadedNightraiN Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm honestly thinking they don't have a final lineup at this point. With Frank & Richard being insurance policies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesGNRNow Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm honestly thinking they don't have a final lineup at this point. With Frank & Richard being insurance policiesI think you're right.. Maybe they are still crossing the t's and dotting the i's with Adler & Izzy.. Frank and Richard are ready to step in if it falls through.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Patience_ Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It's worded fine. They are former members who have regrouped (reunited, reformed, whatever).Nothing wrong with how it's worded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 If this press release came from Coachella, it isn't quite as bad as Axl claiming to be the only Founding Member, and Slash and Duff just former members. But Coachella should have said Founding Members Axl. Slash, and Duff will reunite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
