Axl Rose took Guns n Roses out to play a private gig last night and threw a bit of AC/DC into the set.
Rose was in New York at what used to be CBGB`s to play at a private party for menswear fashion designer John Varvatos for New York Fashion Week.
The surprise in the set Axl Rose and Guns n Roses performing AC/DC’s ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’.
Of course, Guns n Roses are not strangers to Australian rock. They covered Rose Tattoo’s ‘Nice Boys’ on ‘G n R Lies’.
Coincidentally, both AC/DC and Rose Tattoo recorded for Sydney indie Albert Records.
There is a third Albert Records connect for Guns n Roses as well. Guns n Roses first Australia tour was with The Angels, who were also an Alberts act.
John Varvatos Clothing began in 1999 and debuted its first line in 2000. Varvatos was then licensed to create a Converse All-Star shoes range.
In 2003 the company became part of the Nautica Enterprises Group.
