Guns N' Roses will reveal a huge announcement once the countdown clock on their website, www.gnr.fm, hits zero. The clock is scheduled to hit zero on Thursday, May 3rd, at 9 PM PDT (Midnight EDT). The website appears to be teasing something related to their classic album, Appetite For Destruction, with the text, "Destruction Is Coming," featured on the homepage. They are also promoting the announcement on their social media platforms with the hashtag #appetitefordestruction.
A billboard outside of London, England, also appears to be teasing something related to Guns N' Roses' groundbreaking debut album. Fans are hoping that the ad is signaling a coming full reunion of the lineup on the band's debut, which includes singer Axl Rose, bassist Duff McKagan, drummer Steven Adler, and guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin.
What the hell? What is happening? New billboard in Camden, could this mean an original linup tour for guns n’ roses? Let’s hope so! Would be seriously EPIC! #appetitefordestruction #GNR #GunsNRoses #Slash #AxlRose #StevenAdler #DuffMcKagan #IzzyStradlin #MakeThisHappen #SuperEpic pic.twitter.com/45WREkVMOM

The billboard depicts each of the five skulls from the cover of GNR's debut representing each band member. The web address www.GNR.fm is also emblazoned on the billboard along with #AppetiteForDestruction.
"Of course, I wish the guys would have wanted to have done the real reunion with me and [guitarist Izzy Stradlin], but just being able to play with them was very exciting," Adler said in February, before urging fans to petition GNR to bring him back.
Adler joined the band on stage for some cameos on the Not in This Lifetime Tour. He was supposed to be with GNR on the entire tour but he suffered a back injury during rehearsal. Stradlin supposedly walked out of a rehearsal with the band due to a contract dispute.
