When it was announced that Duff McKagan's Loaded would open two shows for the new incarnation of Guns N' Roses, it seemed almost a given that Duff would take the opportunity to join his old band for a song or two.

Guns N' Roses will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April of next year.
