Inland Invasion 2006 featuring Guns and Roses!

According to an interview of Axl this morning on KROQ, Guns and Roses will headline this years event. Past headliners were The Sex Pistols which we had the pleasure of being at. While the 2002 event hosted a ton of punk bands I wonder if this years will be more of a metal theme. Apparently the story I posted earlier about Guns and Roses playing at a private party was true as Axl talked about it this morning. See photos of the event here. In the earlier article about the event, the writer spoke of a fight that had gone on inside the party that delayed him getting in…Axl said this morning that he was attacked by Tommy Hilfiger for moving his girlfriends drink and regarded it as the “most surreal thing” that has happened to him.

You can hear the interview from KROQ here.

Guns and Roses play Hammerstein

Axl did what a lot of people said would never happen. He showed up to play a sold out show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY on Friday May 12th. Not only did he show up but they played for over two hours, played twenty two songs and did a duet with Sebastian Bach on My Michelle and You’re Crazy. They sold that show out, sold out an added date and then added two more dates that also quickly sold out. See photos of the show and read a review of the show here.

Guns and Roses new guitar player is Ron Thal of the New York City-based alternative-rap-metal project BUMBLEFOOT.

The touring lineup for 2006 is:

Axl Rose – Vocals
Robin Finck – Guitar
Ron Thal – Guitar
Richard Fortus – Guitar
Tommy Stinson – Bass
Dizzy Reed – Keyboards
Chris Pittman – Keyboards
Brain – Drums
