Guns N' Roses Reunite With Duff McKagan In London

In 1988, the band were touring extensively across the United States playing huge arenas. That summer they were invited to appear at the prestigious Monsters of Rock Festival in the UK alongside KISS and Iron Maiden. Sadly the event was hit by tragedy when two fans were trampled to death during Guns N' Roses' set. Despite Axl's pleas for the audience to to stop surging forward, it was to no avail. Above are Slash and Axl with Metallica's Lars Ulrich and Dave Mustaine photographed backstage shortly before the tragedy struck.
