Maybe they’re just using their illusions. but Guns N’ Roses will reimagine Webster Hall in its former guise — the Ritz — for a special club show in that space Feb. 15.

Though the club on E. 11th St. has been known as Webster Hall for more than a decade, it was the Ritz back when Guns N’ Roses filmed a sought-after bootleg there (“Live at the Ritz”) featuring its classic band lineup.

That was 24 years ago

and it was a very different band back then.

Today, only lead yowler Axl Rose remains.

Regardless, GN’R will employ the original Ritz signage at the club for their February show. Tickets for the gig go on sale Tuesday at 10 a.m. (presale), with a Wednesday start date for public sale.

GN’R will play two other New York club shows in the lead-up to the Ritz performance: Feb. 10 at Roseland and the 12th at Terminal 5. This is the first time any incarnation of the band will have played those two venues. The group will also appear at the House of Blues in Atlantic City on Feb. 24.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at gunsnroses.com, starting tomorrow.

still, renaming the place in connection with one of their most famous old school breakthrough gigs, sounds like trying to claw back some of that mojo from back in the day. It's good marketing.

Imagine if the appetite guys would be there too, for encore or something. Fucking awesome. But I know it's not going to happen. One can dream though.

The "appetite guys" might be in the crowd to watch the greatest band in the world!!!
