Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum has blasted Axl Rose for touring under the name Guns N' Roses, insisting he should follow Sting and Paul McCartney's leads and rename the group or go solo.

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has dashed fans' hopes of a possible truce with former bandmate Slash - insisting "one of the two of us would die before a reunion could ever take place.

Rocker Duff McKagan refuses to rule out the possibility of the original Guns N' Roses line-up reuniting, even though he's happy playing in Velvet Revolver.

Guitar hero Slash has hit out at former Guns N' Roses bandmate Steven Adler, after he tried to force the band to reunite. Drummer Adler organized an event in Los Angeles in July to celebrate the band's 20th anniversary, and announced Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Axl Rose may join him and his band Adler's Appetite.

Guns N' Roses' original line-up will reform to mark the 20th anniversary of the band's album Appetite For Destruction - but without lead singer Axl Rose. Drummer Stephen Adler claims the event will take place at Los Angeles' Key Club on July 28 - and include original members Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan.

The original line-up of Guns N' Roses is to reform, according to original drummer Steven Adler. Frontman Axl Rose is the only original member of the band in its current incarnation, but Adler claims himself, Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan may all return soon.

Now is the time to reflect back upon the stunning achievements of one Gilby Clarke, singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer. Spitfire Records will do just that with Clarke's January 30, self-titled release. The album includes 14 tracks from his muscular solo catalog, two from his days in the criminally-ignored Colonel Parker with ex-Stray Cat Slim Jim Phantom, and one re-recording of "Black" with Rock Star: Super Nova runner-up Dilana Smith.
