ORIGINAL GNR TO REUNITE, BUT PERFORM?
Will the original GUNS N’ ROSES reunite and perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in April? No one knows.
But Keyboardist DIZZY REED says it COULD happen. He tells Billboard.com, quote, “I know that all the original band is going to be there. [But] I don’t know exactly what’s going to go down.
“It’s one of those things I’m sure will all come together and be really cool.”
Dizzy is still a member of Guns, but he isn’t sure what AXL ROSE is thinking. He says, quote, “Honestly, we haven’t spoken about it. I don’t know when or why or how to bring it up . . . but I’m sure we’ll have to at some point.”
By the way, Dizzy wasn’t an original member of Guns. He came aboard in 1990 . . . shortly after MATT SORUM was brought in to replace STEVEN ADLER, who was fired for doing WAY too many drugs.
In addition to Axl and Steven, the original lineup had: Guitarists SLASH and IZZY STRADLIN, plus MY HOMIE bassist DUFF MCKAGAN.
The Rock Hall has yet to publicly announce which members are being inducted. Aside from the original lineup . . . and maybe Dizzy and Matt Sorum . . . the only other person with a realistic shot to get in is guitarist GILBY CLARKE, who replaced Stradlin in 1991.
