Guns N' Roses to rock this town

No Slash, no Izzy Stradlin, no Steven Adler and no new studio album in nearly ten years.

So what is left of Guns N' Roses? That is for us to find out.

Once dubbed the most dangerous metal band in the world, Guns N' Roses will perform here in a concert on Sept. 7 as part of their "Across the Universe World Tour 2002" around Asia and Australia.

With the latest formation -- Axl W. Rose on vocals, Buckethead on guitar, Dizzy Reed on keyboards, Robin Finck on guitar, Tommy Stinson on bass and Brian Mantia on drums -- the band will rock the former Ancol racetrack in North Jakarta, the venue that was once used by Phil Collins and Bon Jovi.

Ticket prices range from Rp 75,000 to Rp 250,000. For more information, contact Original Productions at (021) 72794423.
