As you might have heard by now, rock 'n' roll royalty Guns N' Roses are heading to Bangkok, Thailand next month on 28 February to kick off the year on a head-bangin' note

We're sad that the band's not stopping by Malaysia, but it's still gonna be totally worth it to travel all the way to the Thai capital to watch them live, because:

1. For the first time since 1993, frontman Axl Rose and guitar legend Slash will reunite onstage after a very public feud that lasted over two decades

Fans were crushed when Rose insisted that "two of [them] will die before a reunion during an interview in 2009. Three years later, Slash remarked that the original Guns N' Roses will never reunite.

Thankfully, the both of them seem to have settled their differences last year, joining up with bassist Duff McKagan - yet another member of the classic GnR era - for the 'Not In This Lifetime...' World Tour.

2. Guns 'N Roses are only playing in two Southeast Asian locations this time around... and tickets are cheaper in Bangkok. ;)

Tickets for the Bangkok show are priced between THB3,500 and THB6,500. In Malaysian Ringgit, that's from RM439 (the cheapest seats) to RM814 (the best seats in the house).

No thanks to the MYR to SGD exchange rate, tickets to the Singapore show are a few hundred bucks extra, priced at SGD199 (RM621), SGD298 (RM930), and SGD568 (RM1,772).

PS: Your trip to Bangkok can double up as an early vacation too, y'know. ;)
