Spencer Kaufman at Loudwire.com has filed the following report on GUNS N' ROSES April 14th induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame:

It wasn’t the Guns N’ Roses reunion that everyone wanted, but with Axl Rose flipping the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame the bird earlier this week, the next best thing happened at the induction ceremony on Saturday (April 14). Slash, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke rocked three ‘Appetite for Destruction’ songs with singer Myles Kennedy.

During their acceptance speeches, McKagan addressed Rose’s absence, saying, “I don’t know if it matters who’s here tonight because it’s about the music that band created.”

After each member took a turn speaking, they made their way over to their instruments. They were joined by Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy, who also handles lead vocals in Slash’s current band, for three classic ‘Appetite for Destruction’ tunes — ‘Mr. Brownstone,’ ‘Sweet Child o’ Mine’ and ‘Paradise City.’ Sorum handled drums on ‘Brownstone,’ while Adler took over the skins for the next two songs.

The boys sounded tight and Kennedy delivered a strong vocal on each song. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, who delivered the induction speech for G'N'R, also joined the Guns rockers onstage.

Watch for live footage to surface over the next several hours.

As previously reported, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke reunited on stage last night (Friday, April 13th) at the House Of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio, where McKagan was celebrating the paperback release of his new memoir, It's So Easy (And Other Lies). The event - dubbed A Punk's Review - featured a book reading and saw musical accompaniment by Mike Squires on guitar, Jeff Rouse on bass and Paul Huxtler on pedal steel guitar.
