Melvin Benn, boss of Reading and Leeds Festivals obviously doesn't care about accruing brownie points with Guns & Roses. He has ruled out offering a place on either festival bills to the band as it currently stands.
As told to NME, Benn has ruled out the current lineup but would love the orginal lineup to play stating,
"I wouldn't have the current line-up, certainly not at the moment. It doesn't feel right," said Benn. "Of course if it was the original line-up, I would definitely consider it and if they could tell the time, it would be fantastic," he added. "With the original line-up it would be something very special. We'd have to give them all a watch each, but we'd certainly try to get them if they reformed."
Given the original Gunners lack of DVD nights and afternoon beer sessions, a reformation doesn't seem likely anytime soon. As such punters at both festivals will need to be content with headliners Foo Fighters, Kasabian and The Cure.
