Rock journalist and author Mick Wall says Guns N' Roses have a number of further surprises up their collective sleeves - but he won't reveal them as he has "never been into spoilers."

The veteran rock scribe, immortalised forever by Guns' mainman Axl Rose with a name check in the lyrics to 'Get In The Ring,' writes on his blog page that despite "feeling like a douche" for not spilling the gossip, he doesn't want to ruin the fun.

One nugget of information which Wall does let slip is that Appetite-era drummer Steven Adler WAS poised to make a guest appearance on sticks before a last minute injury forced him to sit it out.

"Steven actually was going to be there too but he hurt his back during rehearsals," claims Wall.
