Former Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford says he turned down joining Guns N’ Roses twice
Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford has revealed that he was asked to join Guns N’ Roses on two different occasions.Speaking in a new interview, Ford discussed being asked to join the band after Izzy Stradlin abruptly left in 1991, and again in the early 2000s when frontman Axl Rose was looking to retool the GnR lineup.“I got asked to join that band a couple of different times,” Ford said on the Black Crowes-themed State Of Amorica podcast.“Once when Axl was still finishing that record that was taking forever,” he continued, presumably referencing Guns N’ Roses’ 2008 album ‘Chinese Democracy’.
