GUNS
N' FUCKIN' ROSES ON MTV!!!
Thursday 29th, August 2002
Axl
Rose brought Guns N' Roses back to the MTV Video Music Awards
Thursday night for the first time in 10 years, but the frontman
indicated that the wait for a new album from the band will
continue.
"You'll
see [the album], but I don't know if 'soon' is the word,"
Rose explained to MTV News immediately after unveiling the
current GN'R lineup to an American television audience for
the first time.
"It
will come out, and we'll do some more recording and start
the American leg of the tour," he promised.
Thursday
night's VMA performance marked GN'R's first since 1992,
when the band performed "November Rain" with Elton
John (see "Guns N' Roses Cap Night Of Spectacles From
Diddy, Eminem, Timberlake"). The band remained largely
off the map in the decade that followed, shedding members
and bringing in fresh blood. Axl and his current lineup
— which includes drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia,
former Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson and guitarists
Buckethead and Robin Finck — have been working on an
album, Chinese Democracy, for years.
"How
do you make a whole bunch of guys into something that already
was, and with this intensity of these players wanting to
play this material?" Rose said of the delay.
So
while Guns N' Roses may be back on the airwaves, they may
not be back in record stores any time soon.
