WELCOME TO THE BUNGLE

Guns n' Roses cancelled at least six dates on their first tour since 1993, including a show in Philadelphia on Friday and a Washington, D.C. stop scheduled for tonight. Of the thirteen shows remaining on its itinerary, the band has also nixed four additional dates, in Albuquerque, Phoenix, Sacramento and San Jose.

Gn'R, led by frontman Axl Rose, pulled out of the Philadelphia gig due to "band member illness" at 11 p.m., after nearly 14,000 fans were already inside the sold-out First Union Center and openers CKY had played. (Full story)

"Band member illness", you say? Did Buckethead have too much KFC? Was there poisoning by black nail polish fumes?

You know, Axl, I know some guys who know all your songs but aren't sick at the moment. Guys with names like Slash, Duff, Izzy . . . remember them?
