The forecast will call for some "November Rain" this fall, as Milwaukee welcomes iconic 1980s/'90s hard rock band Guns N' Roses and its "Not In This Lifetime ... Tour" to the jungle to the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
GNR broke out and into rock 'n' roll royalty almost instantly with its 1987 debut album, "Appetite for Destruction," featuring legendary hits "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "Paradise City." In 2012, Rolling Stone named the album the 62nd greatest of all time, ranked between U2's "Achtung Baby" and "Greatest Hits" by Sly and the Family Stone. The hits kept coming for GNR, hitting big with "GN'R Lies" and the combination of "Use of Illusion I and II."
After breakups, multiple new band members, infamous tour stories, the extremely delayed "Chinese Democracy" and eventual induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Guns N' Roses regrouped All Rose with several returning parts from its glory days core – namely Slash and Duff McKagan – for Coachella 2016 and the current "Not In this Lifetime ... Tour," selling out shows across the globe.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. show go on sale Friday, July 28, beginning at 10 a.m., but a limited number of presale tickets will be available Thursday, July 27, at noon with the code "COMEBACK." For more information, visit the BMO Harris Bradley Center's website.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
