23 years ago this month, Axl Rose announced that Slash was no longer a member of Guns N’ Roses. Slash went on to form Slash’s Snakepit and Velvet Revolver. April 8th, 2016 was when Slash rejoined Axl and set up the start of Gun’s “Not In My Lifetime Tour.” And back in February of 2019 Slash confirmed a new album is in the works. At press time of this story, the band is still together.
