GETTY Guns N' Roses' rider for their Slane Castle comeback is alcohol free

The band recently announced the European leg of their Not In This Lifetime…Tour. Tickets went on sale this morning for next June’s London gig, which has also added a second date. However it's their rider for their Irish concert at Slane Castle on May 27 that has caught the attention of fans. Back in 1992 the Guns N’ Roses hell-raisers requested cases of Jack Daniel’s and vodka, but this time their backstage alcohol request is even more shocking.

In fact Guns N' Roses have asked for the backstage area to be an alcohol-free zone. In a shock move for the iconic rock band, Axl Rose, Slash and the rest of the band have also requested separate dressing rooms. Rather than bottles of booze, the middle-aged rockers will be dining on steak and pasta, meanwhile bassist Duff McKagan also asked for an extra room to practice Bikram yoga. It’s clear the rock gods have swapped their Welcome To The Jungle partying for lives of clean living.

While Axl and Slash have made up after years of feuding, it was recently revealed by Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus that he was asked to quit for Slash’s band. The guitarist told KSHE: “I had actually been asked to join Slash’s band a while ago, at a Thin Lizzy show. “We were playing a festival and his manager came up and said, ‘Man, we’d love to steal you.’ “I couldn’t do that to my friend [presumably Axl]. That would be such a slap in the face.”
