Sanjay Dutt offers vanity van to Guns N' Roses

4th December 2012

India has witnessed some of the finest international rock bands like Lamb of God, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Korn in recent past with amazing response from the fans. Not many people know about Sanjay Dutt's passion for rock music. The bollywood actor who has a rockstar personality has been a huge fan of the iconic American rock band, Gun N' Roses ever since they rose to global fame in the late '80s.

Eventually, Sanjay plans to go out of his way to ensure that the musicians have a comfortable stay during their debut performance in India in a week's time. Hence, the actor has offered the band's celebrated front man Axl Rose his vanity van for their concert in Mumbai, which will be held on December 9 at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra.

"It's an honour to have Axl use my van. He is a legendary artiste; no one can sing, behave or perform like him. I've grown up listening to Guns N' Roses and I am extremely happy that they're finally coming to India," says Sanjay, who wants to get Axl to sign a guitar for him, which will then be added to the actor's special collection comprising 12 guitars signed by musicians from around the globe.

"I can't play the guitar, but I love maintaining my collection," he says. As a token of his appreciation, Sanjay also plans on presenting the band with a memento. "The gift is a surprise that I won't reveal anything about right now," says Sanjay.

The band may have undergone several line-up changes since their inception, but the actor says he is still looking forward to watching their Mumbai gig. "It's going to be one big party. It'll be great to watch them perform some of my favourite songs like 'November rain', 'Paradise city' and 'Sweet child o' mine'", adds Sanjay.
