And now, for the music news from Coachella.
Axl Rose graced the stage with all the members of Guns ‘N Roses for the first time in 23 years. Rose, who left the band and then took all the rights to the songs with him, had broken his foot on the opening night of their latest tour of the States.
He was given an Iron Throne by fellow (and better) rocker Dave Grohl (yes, the one he used when he had injured his leg last year), which thankfully put the ginger in one safe spot:
Like Joe Dirt crossed with Professor X, Rose was limited to swaying about in his rocker-throne as he attempted to pantomime along to celebrated tracks like “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “Mr. Brownstone,” as well as less celebrated tunes, e.g. the McKagan and Slash-less “Chinese Democracy.” Somehow, a lifetime of zero cardio, hard-partying, and an unfortunate penchant for plastic surgery left the Ginger Rock God gasping for air more times than showcasing his impressive vocal range, screaming that unmistakable high tenor into the mic.
