After Slash and before Chinese Democracy, for Guns N' Roses there was 1999's "Oh My God." Only appearing on the "End of Days" soundtrack, much about the song and this time-period remains a mystery. One of the many puzzle pieces of that era of GNR is guitarist Gary Sunshine.

Gary tells us how his relationship with Axl Rose started, the unique process of making music with him, and how he feels about the song today. Gary also describes the competitive nature he had about "Circus of Power" coming out just before GNR in the late 80s.

Special co-host Art Tavana also joins us to speak about his new Billboard article, "The Divisive Legacy & Surprising Future of Guns N' Roses' 'Chinese Democracy'"

KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has a very important documentary coming out. "Loud Krazy Love" details the harrowing journey of Brian and his daughter Jennea growing up together with chaotic courage and unconventional faith. Far beyond a rock doc, this fearless coming-of-age story grapples with teenage depression, the quest for identity, and the hope of a father willing to do anything for the one he loves.

We often discuss the personal journeys of Slash, Duff, Steven Adler, and even West Arkeen on the AFD Show. How does Head's story relate?

And in "Shotgun News" we discuss Duff's upcoming solo record and the rumor of a new GNR cover album! Please follow/subscribe/leave a comment!

Michael Monroe is sometimes referred to as one of the founding fathers of the Hollywood's glam-rock scene. Does he want to be credited with that title? Did he mind bands influenced by Hanoi Rocks' look and sound? How did his relationship with Guns N' Roses start? What's the origin of his contributions to GNR's "Ain't it Fun" and "Bad Obsession"? Michael gives his opinions on groupies, today's rock, politics, and if he'd ever join GNR on stage again.

Speaking of politics, Axl Rose has been VERY anti-Donald Trump on Twitter recently and addresses why you may hear GNR music at his rallies. Guest co-host Art Tavana and Brando break down Axl's tweets and Guns N' Roses' political positions.

Both Junkyard and Guns N' Roses were signed to Geffen in 1987. Since then GNR has made rock history. But what about Junkyard? What's their story?

Lead singer David Roach had rock n' roll fantasies growing up in Austin, Texas. He may not have the notoriety of an Axl Rose, but is still living his dream. What did it mean for David as Axl wore a Junkyard shirt when they first started out? What does he recall about the GNR/Junkyard show in 1987 at Perkins Palace? What is Junkyard working on now? How does he define success?
