Guns N’ Roses

Yes, a cornrowed Axl Rose leads this latest incarnation of GNR, still riding high (in his mind) on the success of the album that almost never was — Chinese Democracy. STILL, you know they’re going to play “Sweet Child O’Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle.” Yeah, this is why arenas host rock shows.
