Everything You Need To Know About GUNS N ROSES Official Appetite for Destruction Box Set Reissue

Well it's not the reunion some were hoping for, it's just a very very fancy box set.

Guns N Roses are releasing a very fancy special edition of Appetite for Destruction, like $1,000 fancy. There will only be 10,000 of these made, so get on it. To celebrate, the band has released a new lyric video for the deep cut "Shadow of Your Love."
