Guns N' Roses partied pretty hard in their heyday, so it makes sense they'd know the craziest drinking games -- case in point, something called "Wear the Lamp Shade" as explained to us by former dummer Matt Sorum.
Sorum -- who banged the buckets in GNR for a better part of the 90s -- was walking his dogs in Studio City Wednesday when our photog got him talking about games the band played on the road ... and one in particular was quite simply ... enlightening?
It involves booze (obviously), a hotel room (of course), naked girls (how could it not) and ... (drum roll) ... a lamp shade -- we'll let the video explain the rest.
"Wear the Lamp Shade" ... GNR tested, Brick Tamland approved.
The other original members of Guns N' Roses -- Slash, Duff and Steven Adler -- didn't let Axl Rose's boycott of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame keep them from performing some of GNR's greatest hits this weekend ... they just used a different singer.
The band hit the stage with Myles Kennedy on lead vocals ... busting out hits like "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Paradise City."
FYI -- Myles was the singer on Slash's solo album ... and also fronts the band Alter Bridge.
A judge already ruled that Axl owns the name Guns N' Roses ... and he still tours under the the GNR banner ... but who DESERVES the title? Axl and his band ... or Slash, Duff, Steven and the replacement?
Ex-Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler was in the mood for even more self-improvement after a successful stint in "Celebrity Rehab" -- stopping by an L.A. tat shop on Tuesday to retouch some old ink.
Our tattoo sources tell TMZ, Adler popped in to T-Man Tattoo with his band to refresh his G'N'R tattoo -- and former UFC champ Chuck Liddell even made a cameo appearance.
In these hard economic times, we will all benefit from a doctor's misdiagnosis of Guns N' Roses.
The honchos at Dr. Pepper made a promise back in March that everyone would get free soda if G'N'R released another album.
It seemed like a good bet, after Axl Rose made false promises for 17 years.
But the day has come, so everyone can now log onto DrPepper.com and get a free 20 oz soda. But they're not making it easy -- they'll send you a coupon that will get to you in 4 to 6 weeks. Bastards.
Paris Hilton's boyfriend River Viiperi shoved an overzealous female fan in Cannes -- at first glance it looked like a real punk move ... but we have info that could clear his good name. Well, his name.Plus, some people think rapper Chief Keef's pot bust is a load of bull, and…
