Local music blogger, Kevin Cogill, 27, at Antiquiet streamed nine unreleased Guns N' Roses songs from the album Chinese Democracy back in June. It was a pretty big deal: fans have been waiting for this album for about 14 years now. That excitement led to so much traffic, his site crashed. Then the FBI got involved (and many media outlets), who he has been in touch with since the whole thing started. But this morning......

In regards to his July 18 drug arrest in Hollywood, Steven Adler, former Guns N' Roses drummer, pleaded not guilty today in court. The 43-year-old is charged with "one felony count of possession of heroin and one misdemeanor count of being under the influence of an opiate," according to the Daily News. Adler is to appear in court next month and to remain in a Pasadena drug program.......

LAist recently got the opportunity to sit down with Marc Canter, author of "Reckless Road; Guns n' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction." Not only is he still best friends with Slash, but his family owns the infamous Canter's Deli on Fairfax. Over a cup of coffee and some delicious treats from the bakery, we talked with Marc for almost three hours about L.A. in the 80's, his amazing collection of memorabilia,......

We missed the Guns KROQ Inland Invasion metal fest. We're sure they were even better without all the guys whose names we know. We're sure Alice in Chains was better without their singer. But since we weren't there, we will remember Guns back in the day. This is GNR circa 1988 in Halifax Canada opening for Iron Maiden. Axl starts the tune by telling some fan to blow him, and then, almost in the......

San Francisco: Check. San Diego: Check. Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield: check, check, check. Los Angeles: _________ That's right folks, Guns N' Roses announced their West Coast tour dates and LA was not on it. Surf it down to San Diego or ride it up over the Grapevine because there is no jungle in this town of bogus palm trees. But wait, wait, don't tell me! They are indeed playing nearby at KROQ's Inland Invasion in......

Looks like Inland Invasion is going to be a quasi-metal onslaught, nearly as meaty as Ozzfest, but just like most things KROQ these days, a tad watered-down and lacking. Guns N' Roses are the headliners of the Sept 23rd festival, and they're lacking a good chunk of Guns N' Roses. Hell, you don't even get Buckethead any more. Irony abounds as bassist Tommy Stinson now plays with Guns -- his first band was... The......

There was a time when Guns had Appetite out but no one was buying it and no one was playing it. It was a good year until they were getting love from MTV. During that year they hustled all the clubs on the Strip and even the Music Machine on the Wessssside. Here they are covering the Stones, a band who they'd end up opening for a few years later at the LA Coliseum.......

Demolisten's 20th anniversary party is Saturday at the Knitting Factory and while you can't blame Fred Kiko (pictured, in action) for the whole thing, he's been an able helmsman for quite some time and probably wouldn't mind you buying him a congratulatory beer. The Friday night radio show on KXLU plays (duh) demos and has featured pre-known acts such as Beck, Devendra Banhardt, Guns N Roses and the everlasting Red Hot Chili Peppers. Celebrating......
