On the last night of the seven-day 2011 Rock in Rio Festival, Guns N` Roses took the present as the closing band, performing in face of hundreds of thousands of screaming maniacs in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 24-song set included solos, instrumental jams from the lot and classics such as `Welcome to the Jungle,` `Sweet Child O` Mine` and `Paradise City.
Prepare to be considered a stone god for one particular evening. Gown up such as the Guns N` Roses lead vocalist, Axl Rose.Gucci Bandana would get something in common.
When your cat sharpens her claws by attacking your sofa that might not look like standard guide to you but rest assured, it actually is flawlessly standard.
This week in rock history, Billboard began their famous singles chart, Paul Mccartney announced the establishment of Wings, Debbie Harry went solo, Guns N' Roses hit Number One and David Crosby's drug woes earned him 5 days in prison.
Review:
Big Dogz is the new album by legendary Scottish outfit Nazareth. While the album's title leaves something to be desired - it is very bush-league - the medicine on the other hand is surprisingly good. Nazareth has never strayed too far from what they are - a game and hard-rocking bar band that have been known to have a memorable ballad or two.
As we reported earlier, there was recently some ridiculous litigation over a Mike Tyson tattoo being victimized in Hangover 2 - with the looming possibility the tattoo would bear to be digitally removed from the DVD and Blu-Ray releases. ??
Thankfully, there was a village and the tattoo stays, but if it had to be removed, it probably wouldn't have been too big of a hurt in the rise because of today's digital technology.
Ever run through Mega Man X5 and get a flow in the names of the bosses? They're all named after Guns N' Roses members. Axle the Red is Axl Rose, Duff McWhalen (amazing name) is Duff McKagen, Izzy Glow is Izzy Stradlin, Grizzly Slash is Slash, and so on. The fact that they're named in this title is weird enough, but it's doubly odd considering the game was released in 2000, smack-dab in the core of Axl's cryogenic sleep/cornrow-growing hibernation.
Ever run through Mega Man X5 and find a course in the names of the bosses? They're all named after Guns N' Roses members.

Slash Would Consider GN'R Reunion with Axl Rose Apology
Slash says that he would consider re-joining Guns N' Roses 15 days later he left the band - but not without an excuse by frontman Axl Rose. "That would be a name I would be surprised to get," he said.
Okay, maybe `news` isn`t the proper condition for all of it. Or even much of it. 76% seems to get involved Justin Bieber in some way, while one of the week`s major stories was whether or not Guns N Roses are still playing their upcoming UK tour dates - most importantly, Reading and Leeds at the end of the month.
