Soon Guns N’ Roses will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but first the band is making more music history. The group has returned with leader Axl Rose and the 2011 lineup including Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal and DJ Ashba. Its latest concert at Seattle’s Key Arena boomed classics like “Shackler’s Revenge,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “November Rain,” and showed fans the band still knows how to rock ‘n’ roll. (Kevin P.
