Almost 30 years after their iconic “Appetite For Destruction” album was released, the GNR crew figured out a way to end the estrangement and rock the Bay area. Its a weird wacky world we live in. The story goes like this; recently I was reading the Duff McKagan autobiography, “It’s So Easy…And Other Lies” where he talks about meeting his wife. To make a long story short, he did an interview with this guy named John Stain for one Thrasher Magazine, this guy basically introduded Duff to his wife to be at the time they did the interview and the rest is history. Fast forward to 2016, almost 20 years later and John Stain calls up the mag to submit an interview he recently did with Flag, and mentions being able to get a couple of us on the list for the Guns N’ Roses “Not In This Lifetime” reunion tour. Didn’t take long for us to say, fuck yes please and the rest is my blog from some photos I got at AT&T…
