Move over Celine Dion, Guns N' Roses to play Las Vegas residency
Guns N' Roses are going from "Paradise City" to Sin City .
Axl Rose may have refused to play alongside his former GN'R bandmates at the band's Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame induction in April, but the singer apparently has no issue with having his new lineup playing a residency in Las Vegas.
Borrowing a page from decidedly less metal acts like Celine Dion and Elton John, Guns N' Roses will perform 12 dates at The Joint at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, running from Halloween to Nov. 24, Bilboard magazine reported.
The band officially announced their Vegas gig with a terse tweet, "#VegasTakeOver w/ #AppetiteForDemocracy residency @TheJointLV 10/31-11/24 On sale Fri @10am http://t.co/JVOp5zbf"
"They were incredible; we watched them perform their timeless hits and soon-to-be legendary songs off 'Chinese Democracy,'" AEG Live exec Bobby Reynolds said in a statement. "Immediately following, AEG Live and Hard Rock began turning our fantasy of having them as a resident artist into a reality."
Tickets, starting at $45, go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. for the residency, which is called "Appettite for Democracy" - a nod to the band's classic album, "Appettite for Destruction."
