20-26! A number, another Summer!!! Or a reprisal and dual 1987 musical gift to all of us who remember. As I write this, as a clenched-fist salute to all of us who all of us were listening on all levels. Revolutionary musicality: Guns N Roses bringing in a hard-nosed, no-holds-barred truth about the streets and addiction with 1987’s Appetite For Destruction (Geffen Records).

Guns N Roses to Launch New Podcast – “GNR: The First 50 Gigs”
Guns N Roses are launching a new video podcast series, “GNR: The First 50 Gigs” – an archive of the band’s first 50 shows, have already been recorded and are in post-production. The show will be hosted by Marc Canter, who grew up best friends with Guns N Roses members Slash and Axl Rose, and the first two episodes are already done and complete and a snippet of episode one is available below.
Guns N Roses Are Working on a New Album During Quarantine
In a story we have been following, Guns N Roses have been “working fastidiously on killer stuff” for their much-anticipated new album. The news of GN’R progress on the follow-up to 2008’s Chinese Democracy LP was broken by Susan Holmes McKagan, wife of Guns bassist Duff McKagan, during an appearance on the latest episode of the “Appetite For Distortion” podcast. She said (hear audio below): “I will say GN’R have been working fastidiously on killer new stuff. And I can’t say much, but I’ve heard bits and bobs and it’s pretty epic. I do wanna spread the good news, but not detailed news, I guess.” Ever since Duff, guitarist Slash and singer Axl Rose reunited in 2016 as Guns N Roses, rumors have been circulating that new music from the band — the first to feature the three “classic-lineup” members since 1993 — was in the works. The band reportedly already recorded a cover song for a Record Store Day release that has as yet remained unreleased.
