We find our heroes back at any random hotel in any random city -they all run together for a group of entertainers that average 200 shows and 60,000 miles a year on the road. Notquiteaxl [Chad Atkins] has disappeared -in true GNR fashion. Notquiteduff [Steve Busi] and Notquiteslash [Craig Hilton] are nursing a bottle of Jager in preparation for the next day’s hangover. Notquiteizzy [Mike Edington] riffs out on the hotel room couch to Notquiteadler’s [Mike Ropelewski] drum patterns played out on phonebooks and cityguides.
Appetite For Destruction, the ultimate tribute to Guns N’ Roses has lived this lifestyle since it’s inception in 2000. The current incarnation of the band (together since 2003), still based around Chad Atkin’s amazing voice, travels the country delivering the most authentic tribute to Guns N’ Roses, circa 1987-1993, most will ever see. Material is drawn from Appetite for Destruction through Use Your Illusion 1 and 2, including Lies, and The Spaghetti Incident?, with stage banter derived from a variety of live shows and videos. Appetite For Destruction plays all the favorites – Sweet Child o’ Mine, Paradise City, Patience and many, many more.
In venues large and small, AFD has played and rave reviews for aural and visual authenticity. And they will continue until they have brought their rock and roll circus to every corner of the United States.
