Original Guns N' Roses Members Screw Axl ... We Got a NEW Singer

No Axl? No problem.

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?

Guns N' Roses Drummer -- Re-Inking the Situation

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.

So fresh and so clean clean.

I'm a Pepper, You're a Schmuck

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.
