GN'R Arrives In Lima
According to LivinginPeru.com, Guns N' Roses arrived in Peru last night (Tuesday, March 23) and was greeted by a number of fans who packed the international area of the Jorge Chavez Airport in Lima.
The band — minus singer Axl Rose — landed in Lima on a commercial flight, along with a technical crew of more than 100 people.
Rose is expected to arrive today in his private plane.
Guns N' Roses' concert in Lima is scheduled for tomorrow night (Thursday, March 25). Also appearing on the bill is former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach. Additional support at the gig will come from local bands Space Bee and Gaia.
The concert organizers have stated that seven out of the eleven ticket zones are already sold out, and they expect the concert to be a complete sellout.

Slash Bears the Burden of Guns N' Roses' Legacy
After more than two decades in two superstar groups, Slash should be an expert in music-business savvy. Surprisingly, the guitarist tells Spinner that the opposite is true. "I still have a certain amount of naïveté about things," he says. "I'm just not aware or spending a lot of time thinking what other people are thinking."
What he's referring to specifically is what fans suppose of him musically. They see him as the hard-rock guy, and despite the fact he's played with the likes of Michael Jackson -- he's even included Fergie and Maroon 5's Adam Levine on his debut solo album, 'Slash' -- fans are surprised, which has caught the axeman off-guard. "It's been very recently, since I started working on this record, the amount of expectations people have of me," he says. "And I thought, 'Since when did I become that guy that represents something?'"
Probably since he played on one of the most influential hard rock albums of all time: Guns 'n' Roses' 'Appetite for Destruction.' That brings up an interesting question -- as the most visible member of the original lineup, with Axl Rose keeping a lower profile, does Slash bear the brunt of that legacy? "I know that in some way, shape or form I am responsible for partly carrying that torch, as with any of the other guys," he says. "But I'm the one that's most active, and so I do -- as far as [fans are] concerned -- represent."

Warren Buffett Plays Axl Rose Geico Commercial
Who would have thought that under the hard business exterior of mega-investor Warren Buffett lies the soul of a wannabe rocker? A surreal video, making its way around the Net, shows Buffett doing his best imitation of Guns N' Roses rocker Axl Rose, complete with waist-length hair, a purple bandanna, black leather jacket and Axl's signature red plaid kilt from the '80s — all as part of an eye-catching video for Geico, the auto insurance company owned by Berkshire Hathaway. And Buffett sings too. Okay, he attempts to sing.
Here's a link to the Geico video.
