Slash on Guns N' Roses Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction: "We’re Not Playing"

We hope no one out there was holding their breath for a reunion of the original Guns N' Roses lineup at next month's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, because according to Slash, it ain't gonna happen.

Speaking with the Toronto Sun recently, Slash dropped the bombshell so many GNR fans were hoping he wouldn't.

"We’re not playing," he said. "I would imagine that they asked us to play but I know that we’re not playing."

"Either it hasn’t hit me yet or maybe it’s been so long since I had anything to do with Guns N’ Roses that I just don’t really get it," he said.
