TODAY WE ARE HEADED BACK 8 YEARS…ON THIS DATE IN 2016 ROCKERS GUNS N ROSES ANNOUNCE THAT SLASH AND DUFF MCKAGAN WILL BE ROCKING IT OUT WITH THE LEGENDARY BAND AT THE CALIFORNIA MUSIC FEST COACHELLA…DUE TO A TON OF REALLY COMPLICATED AND EMOTIONAL DIFFERENCES, THE DUO HADN’T PERFORMED WITH THE BAND SINCE 1993! WHILE MANY TALENTED MUSICIANS HAD PLAYED IN THEIR PLACES, THE MAGIC JUST WASN’T THERE! LATER, GUNS N ROSES ANNOUNCED A FULL TOUR WITH SLASH AND MCKAGAN AND TO THIS DAY THEY ARE STILL ROCKING TOGETHER….AS IT SHOULD BE!  SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO “LIVE AND LET DIE”…MUCH LIKE THE PAUL MCCARTNEY FRONTED WINGS’ COVER THAT GNR ABSOLUTELY OWNS AND WAS PERFORMED IN THAT COACHELLA SET NEARLY 8 YEARS AGO! 

LIVE AND LET DIE, GOOD ADVICE AND A GREAT SONG…IT’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X
