DOUBLE TALKIN' GUNS

It's an amazing story how Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven would come to Hollywood California and begin to crawl their way from the sleasy Sunset Strip of the 1980's to become one of the biggest bands in the world. It was a story of true grit and a band's detemrination to make it in a world of booze, drugs, stripper's and an ultra competitive club scene. We look at the band's origin in LA and their shows which catapulted them to the top of the sunset club scene  leading up to their signing with Geffen Record's.

As Guns lay dormant in 1994 seemingly unable to get going on a follow up to 1993's punk cover's album Slash worked on demos for new material at his home studio. When the tracks where rejected for the next Guns record he would go about recording the tracks with some GN'R member's and a new vocalist Eric Dover. The album was completed quickly and a tour would follow. After officially leaving GN'R Slash would rebuild his snakepit band with a new lineup. The project overall resulted in two album's. We take a look at them and the whirlwind surrounding Slash and Guns during this period of the mid to late 90's.

Izzy Stradlin one of the most integral parts of Guns N' Roses left the band at it's height in 1991. Following his departure he would form a new project the Ju Ju Hounds and go on to make a string of solo releases throughout the late 90's and 2000's. He continues to remain an elusive and fascinating character to this day. We look back at Izzy's story from his GN'R exit to the present day and pick what we think desereves a listen from Izzy's solid string of solo albums.

Quick hit topics on the current happenings in the GN'R sphere including the anticipation for the upcoming release of 'The General' , recapping 'Perhaps' and whats next as GN'R trek across North America..

The Band's biggest hit. The one GN'R song that truly broke through to the masses. Without it everything about Guns N' Roses would be different to this day.  One of the most iconic guitar riff's in rock history and a track that had all band members at their very best. It may be overplayed in the modern day but it will always remain a rock masterpiece and for many was the doorway into a  lifelong fandom of Guns N' Roses.

Quick reaction to the release of GN'R's new single 'Perhaps'. One of the reworked tracks from the Chinese sessions that has finally seen the light of day. 

We take a trek through some of the craziest incidents which derailed Guns N'Roses gigs over the years.....walk offs, riots and no shows. Spanning their whole career we look at the causes behind the chaos!

The two biggest names in Hard Rock and Metal in the early 1990's deciding to share a tour in the Summer of 1992 would lead to some of the darkest and most controversial events in both bands histories. A tour of two bands at the height of their fame brought chaotic performances, riots, excessive backstage parties and a splintering of relations for a while between both bands. We look at the good the bad and the ugly of the GN'R/ Metallica tour of 1992 and also the nature of the relationship of both bands since their early days.

ACDC where down their longtime iconic lead singer, Guns N'Roses where getting ready to do their massive comeback Tour and somehow Axl Rose managed to step up and front both bands in the Summer of 2016. It seemed crazy then and it still does today. We discuss.

We react to the fallout of the recent Guns shows in the UK including the headling Glastonbury slot and the recent Hyde Park show in London and Glasgow.....and yes we are still awaiting Perhaps! In true Guns N ' Roses spirit Andy also throws in a rant at modern concert  audiences.
