Now officially a Las Vegas act, Axl Rose’s Guns N’ Roses are touring their Appetite for Democracy-branded hits collection across Asia from Bangalore to Jakarta. They’ll touch down for a one-off gig in Tokyo on their way back to Los Angeles. It’s been three years since the Guns visited Japan for their 2008 comeback Chinese Democracy and the lineup is similar, including Use Your Illusion–era keyboardist Dizzy Reed and bassist Tommy Stinson once of The Replacements. The band’s classic lineup was of course inducted into the rock hall of fame earlier this year, with Axl—true to form—giving the whole event the proverbial finger.
