While the news is out that the legendary hard rock band Guns n Roses will be playing in Mumbai and Bangalore, in India, the group's charismatic frontman Axl Rose is reportedly pretty excited about this. He recently tweeted: "Unbelievable! 3 days in Vegas & still alive. The Bel-Air is on the Hard Rock floor and next month we go to India and Indonesia. (sic)"
Known for his reclusive and often eccentric and unpredictable ways, this effusive tweet of his speaks about his anticipation for the show.
Lead guitarist Dj Ashba too, shared his excitement about their upcoming tour, tweeting, ""I am looking forward to performingfor the beautiful people of India!" While on the subject of Axl's eccentricities, it should be noted that the band's most recent album Chinese Democracy took more than ten years to complete, with many lineup changes and studio costs running into multi-million figures. For those who have not heard of the band, Guns N' Roses have been credited with reviving the mainstream popularity of rock, at a time when popular music was dominated by dance music and pop metal. Their late 1980s and early 1990s years have been described as the period in which they brought forth a "hedonistic rebelliousness" reminiscent of the early Rolling Stones a reputation that had earned them the nickname "The Most Dangerous Band in the World"". The band's classic lineup, along with later members Reed and drummer Matt Sorum, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
