Axl Rose in his skeleton leather jacket and bandana, red cup in hand, with Charlie Watts in a red waistcoat and purple turtleneck in 1989. It was the year the two bands crossed paths. Guns N' Roses were the hottest band in America on the back of Appetite for Destruction, and the Stones were back on the road with Steel Wheels, their first tour in seven years. In October 1989, GN'R opened all four Steel Wheels shows at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and Axl and Izzy Stradlin later sat in with the Stones at the tour's pay-per-view show. Charlie was the calm, sharp-dressed center of all that noise. We lost him on August 24, 2021, at 80. 🎸 Axl and Izzy later joined the Stones onstage at the Steel Wheels pay-per-view show. Did you see the Stones and Guns N' Roses together in 1989? 🎸
