Guns N? Roses are the cover stars of issue 221 of Classic Rock magazine ? out on Wednesday, February 24, in print, digital and TeamRock+.

http://www.teamrock.com/news/2016-02-22/slash-in-studio-for-guns-n-roses




No word on what piece will be in the magazine. Maybe the article posted earlier?



EDIT: Looking into it, it seems to be the "The Real Story Behind Their Return" piece.

Wonder what picture will be used for the, most likely not a new one I guess.



Edited by jarmo: Changed the subject. It's a black & white photo of Axl on the cover. /jarmo

Maybe they could use photos of all the people they interviewed that aren't connected with the band anymore  :hihi:

The alternative is no press.

Personally I think it's pretty cool that GN'R is written about all over now.

Yes, the quality of the articles varies, but the name is constantly being put out there.. It helps if you plan on embarking on a massive stadium tour.

I'm confident that GNR is cognizant of the current media climate, and there will be more official information released when it is ready to be announced.

Of course.

But as a fan, isn't it a positive feeling to see GN'R considered as relevant?

If the announcement came in early January, and after that no one wrote a thing about them, they weren't mentioned at all. Wouldn't that be kind of discouraging?

I suppose it is to be expected- the media quality being what it is- ie: parasitic.

I personally get tired of reading total BS articles specifically geared to propel the news site or person interviewed into the wave  generated by the GNR regrouping.

I've got it. It's an old B&W topless Axl shot. The article is the one posted earlier on this board "Guns N' Roses: The Real Story Behind Their Return"

Edit - As above!

Big time agreed.

Yeah they weren't really relevant because Axl didn't put together a consistent lineup that peopel could identify with.

You had Bumblefoot, Buckethead, Finck and Ashba mostly through the years trying to fill 1 need

SLASH

I'm glad Slash makes them relevant now. Awesome stuff!

Yet, Axl's the one on the cover..

He's the front man of course he's on the cover. I was responding to the comment above me that they were glad Guns N' Roses are now relevant again...

Which is because Duff and Slash back...

So yeah.. my comment holds water.

nice try though

Yeah, and that comment was mine.

I didn't say that Guns N' Roses is relevant again.

I said it's positive to see Guns N' Roses considered relevant.

This was in response to the media writing about them ? whether that is good or bad.

The media never stopped writing about them, GN'R has been an interesting subject for the press ever since they formed.

Pretty much, yeah.

It's a refreshing change to have people refer to them as Guns N' Roses again and not Axl & A Bunch Of Dudes.

Welcome turn of events.

I don't care what anyone says.....the pulled back braids were sweet!  A modern Axl.....and not something that resembles the 80's.
