Guns N’ Roses recently confirmed that they would be reinstating their original lineup for a headlining performance at Coachella and a national tour shortly after. The reunion of frontman Axl Rose with the formerly ousted Slash and Duff McKagan has been a long time coming, with numerous hints dropped along the way. Ahead of their performance at Coachella and ensuing tour, a documentary about the group will premiere on BBC for fans.
The Most Dangerous Band In The World: The Story of Guns N’ Roses is slated to premiere on BBC at 10 p.m. on Feb. 5 according to NME. The documentary follows both the history of the group and highly anticipated return to the music industry since the original members disbanded in 1993. The film is set to showcase, “the explosive rise of one of the most notorious bands of our times,” and will feature “exclusive, never-before-heard interviews, and early footage,” a statement from director Jon Brewer says.
The notorious feud between Rose and Slash finally ended in 2015 after a full 20 years, and the reunion came as a surprise since Slash had always denied the possibility in the past. It is yet to be announced who will be serving as the drummer for the reunion, as both Matt Sorum and Izzy Stradlin are keen on the position.
The band also recently announced that they will also perform a set of large-scale shows in Las Vegas T-Moble Arena on April 8 and 9.
“What city better than Las Vegas - the Entertainment Capital of the world - to see Guns N’ Roses play together for the first time in 23 years,” the general manager of the T-Mobile Arena Dan Quinn said in a press release. “The T-Mobile Arena was designed to host iconic events such as this, and we will provide guests with an incredible experience as they enjoy this historic show.”
