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.

"They also told me some other things which I feel a douche for keeping to myself, but I've never been into spoilers. Why ruin the fun? This is the year when the fun is finally back to taunt us."
