Original Guns N Roses members reunite

Guns N' Roses frontman W. Axl Rose staged another reunion with original guitarist Izzy Stradlin' during the band's performance on Sunday night (June 11th) at the Download Festival in the U.K. Stradlin' was introduced onstage by Rose midway through the band's show and joined them for three songs: "Patience," "Night Train" and "Used To Love Her." This was Stradlin's second performance with the group in the last month, after he played with the band in New York in May. That appearance was his first with Guns N' Roses in nearly 15 years.

Guns N' Roses' Download show was not all smiles, however. Although the band came onstage 30 minutes early as opposed to its usual habit of arriving late, Axl walked off stage twice due to what he announced as "technical difficulties," leaving the band to play without him for five minutes each time.

The volatile singer threatened to leave a third time unless crowd members stopped throwing bottles around.

GNR angered fans during its first British show in over a decade last Wednesday (June 7th) by going onstage much later than expected. However, the GNR performance on the night compensated for the delay.
