Rose had reconnected with Duff by accident at the hotel he and his new mates were staying at, noting that when introducing him by saying, &#8220;There was this guy at the end of my hallway playing all this loud music and s&#8212;. And I was all like, &#8216;What the f&#8212;?&#8217; Oh &#8211; it&#8217;s Duff!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s being reported that during the remainder of the show McKagan made several appearances, adding rhythm guitar on &#8216;Nice Boys&#8217; and &#8216;Knocking on Heaven&#8217;s Door&#8217;, while during the encore number &#8216;Patience&#8217; he jammed on the tambourine.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMaybe this could be the open door that devoted GN&#8217;R fans have been looking for. The original GN&#8217;R split up<br \/>\nsome fifteen years ago (Duff was the last to leave in August of &#8217;97)&#8230; so while it&#8217;s best not to hold your breath on the reunion happening, this is still quite the momentous occasion in rock history.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.gunsnroses.com\/index.jsp\">http:\/\/web.gunsnroses.com\/index.jsp<\/a><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" rel=\"%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fmagnifythumbs%2FSKQ347279ZSBTLDT.jpg%22%20class%3D%22mvp-embedder-placeholder%22%20style%3D%22position%3A%20relative%3B%20background%3A%20black%20url(%2Fdecor%2Fpublisher%2Fplaceholders%2Fembed_placeholder_400_black.jpg)%20no-repeat%3B%20padding%3A%2071px%2010px%2040px%2010px%3B%22%20%20width%3D%22400%22%20height%3D%22300%22%20%2F%3E\" src=\"http:\/\/publisher-151.magnify.net\/embed\/player\/?content=YFPWJN11R8VC9TX0&#038;widget_type_cid=svp&#038;widget_template_cid=black\" width=\"420\" height=\"451\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Den Headz, amid all the swirling rumors of BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN possibly reuniting&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16308\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
