When Guns N’ Roses launched their “Not In This Lifetime” reunion tour in 2016, noticeably absent from their classic lineup was Izzy Stradlin.

While even former drummer Steven Adler made a few guest appearances along the way, the ex-guitarist was nowhere to be found.

“I just don’t think he ever wanted to do it,” said Duff McKagan in a new interview with Classic Rock, adding, “We tried to make it work, but it just didn’t.”

Earlier this year, the bassist revealed they even set up Stradlin’s equipment at practice in case he showed up, but after waiting three months, they moved forward.

Which reunited bands have been able to get all of their classic members to participate?
