Upholding a three-decade tradition of breaking ground, creating trends, and forever changing the face of rock ‘n’ roll, Guns N’ Roses have announced the most significant and anxiously awaited musical event of this century. Founder Axl Rose and former members Slash and Duff McKagan will regroup to headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival (April 15th-17th and April 22nd-24th). For months, critics and audiences alike have generated immense excitement and speculation over the possible regrouping of the iconic line-up. The April performances will mark the first time since 1993 the Gunners will share the stage for what is certain to be an explosive event.

Since the announcement, Rolling Stone has published eight unanswered questions about the reunion. An excerpt from their rundown is available below:

Q: Who will play drums? 

Rolling Stone: "Frank Ferrer has been with Guns N' Roses for the past 10 years, and seems like a very likely pick. But there's also Matt Sorum. He joined in 1990 for Use Your Illusion and played in Velvet Revolver with Slash and Duff in the early 2000s. He certainly knows the material and is quite capable of pulling this off. He's been guesting on Late Night with Seth Meyers all week, but there's no word on his participation at Coachella. Then there's Appetite-era drummer Steven Adler. He famously left GN'R in 1990 due to a drug problem, and since then he's been the loudest voice calling for a reunion. He's been suspiciously quiet since this reunion noise started. He's never played the Use Your Illusion material in concert, and it's difficult to imagine him being the sole drummer on the tour. But might he have a role similar to the one Mick Taylor had on some recent Rolling Stones tours, where he comes onstage for a few songs every night?"

Q: What happens after Coachella?

Rolling Stone: "There have been reports of a stadium tour, and it's hard to imagine the band going to all this trouble to play just two weekends at Coachella and nothing more. As of now, though, we remain in the dark about where this reunion is going. Remember, Led Zeppelin did a single show in 2007 and haven't played since. These things can fall apart very quickly, no matter how much money is at stake."
