Guns N' Roses Guitarist DJ Ashba Talks Life, Music And Cooking Spray [AUDIO]

Driver — Wed, 22 May 2013 01:25:56 +0000

Click through to check out an interview I did with him earlier today.

New Megadeth "Kingmaker" Is Out And So Is The Cover Art [AUDIO]

Heathen — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:57:16 +0000

Guns N' Roses Opener Still Not Known And It Just Doesn't Matter

Wes — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:49:21 +0000

I just got off the phone with the promoter and was informed there is still not an opening act for Guns N' Roses. I was also told that that's how it frequently happens on their headline dates. An opener may be announced just days before the show, and there's always the possibility there won't be one. With G N' R shows sometimes stretching into the 3 hour range, we don't think it's a huge deal either. All we can say is with this this hot weather, it's a good thing that Guns doesn't play until later into the night. More after the jump.
