Happy 68th Birthday, Gary Oldman! "...he lost the costume and ended up playing this white- faced demon in tight black shorts...he almost did too good a job. After that afternoon, I'm pretty sure that the next time I heard from him, Gary was in rehab." - Slash's autobiography

@evergreenLayne He listed that? Yea, he def did not play on CD.

@TheAFDPodcast Massive poseur downgrade from Robin. I seem to remember him listing CD in his discography like he played on it 😂

This Day in GNRistory: March 21st, 2009 - GUNS N' ROSES NAMES DJ ASHBA AS BAND'S NEWEST AXEMAN "Ashba, who officially replaces current NIN guitarist Robin Finck, is best known as co-founder of hard rock bands Sixx AM and Beautiful Creatures."

@JaneInPainBand For me it wasn't so much Ashba, but it really displayed the inconsistency of the nuGNR lineup. If they had 1 or 2 lineups during those years, maybe CD would be looked at differently too.

@TheAFDPodcast Saddest day in gnr history

@Matt_Thomas85 I liked SIXX AM, so I was kinda excited to see him join. I know it's silly to care, but the tophat made it a bit weird for me. Like a Nightmare Before Christmas-Slash.

@TheAFDPodcast A dark day for GNR

This Day in GNRistory: March 20, 2004 - “Appetite for Self Destruction! Guns N’ Roses: How They Threw It All Away” (via Kerrang!)

Tesla and GN'R never played a show together, but Frank Hannon and his bandmates still got the full Guns N' Roses experience at Nassau Coliseum in 1991. Get more from Frank in our latest episode. Found wherever you get your podcasts. @FrankHannon @TeslaBand

@nitoforever I wouldn't be mad if PC won!

Here is my Guns N' Roses bracket. Fun (and difficult!) to choose. It's guessing what the overall fanbase will pick, rather than your personal favorites. Some tough calls! I predict: Welcome to the Jungle

@DavidStacka Sweet Child could easily win...when you see the fan reactions still during live shows, wouldn't surprise me.

@TheAFDPodcast I think you’re right but I don’t like it. There’s also a strong chance Sweet Child wins, which would make me throw things.

@gunsnroses2016 the sheet with all the song matchups, it's a play on March Madness for college basketball

@TheAFDPodcast What do they mean by bracket?

I like this. Always wanted to make a bracket for us, but too much work 😊

Remembering the late Chester Bennington today on what would have been his 50th birthday. In November '23, with permission from Talinda Bennington and Slash, producer @BigChrisFlores was able share an unfinished demo from Chester and Slash with us...

@goaway09939242 In person or online clip? Genuine question.

@TheAFDPodcast No thanks I've heard them recently

Request 3 songs for Guns N’ Roses to play live in 2026

Rest in peace to martial arts icon and actor, Chuck Norris.

This Day in GNRistory: March 20, 2025 - Guns N’ Roses announce Isaac Carpenter as their new drummer. His background includes playing with Duff McKagan in both Loaded and AWOLNATION. Isaac got a new GN’R tattoo a few months ago, so he’s here to stay. 🥁 (Photos via GNR and Getty)

In our new episode, @FrankHannon, co-founder and lead guitarist of @TeslaBand, spoke about his experiences with Guns N' Roses, history of the hit "Love Song," and touring with Mötley Crüe. youtu.be/tTUrBj87Eks

Just got off the phone with THE Rod Jackson. He's doing well. Hope to have him back on the pod soon.

I know some of the fanbase wasn't fond of his playing, but for me he was a great fit. Enjoyed his presence, smile, and fellow New York-ness. Frank couldn't have been kinder in our interview. That said, I am looking forward to seeing Isaac Carpenter this summer.

On This Day in GNRistory: March 19, 2025 - Guns N' Roses announced the amicable exit of Frank Ferrer "Thank you, Frank. For the friendship, creativity and sturdy presence over the last 19 years"
