New York: Guns N` Roses made a surprise New York concert appearance Thursday night as part of a Fashion Week party at the John Varvatos store in Manhattan. The band, whose only original member is singer Axl Rose, played a nearly two-hour set on the small stage in the space that was once home to legendary rock club CBGBs.According to Internet reports, the band played a 17-song set that included selections from nearly every Guns N` Roses album, including hits like "Paradise City," "Sweet Child o` Mine," "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Patience." The band also played several songs from its most recent album, the commercially disappointing "Chinese Democracy."

Guns N` Roses` New York appearance was only its second in the United States since the release of "Democracy." The band recently toured Southeast Asia and Canada. Axl Rose wasn`t the only music celebrity to make a Fashion Week appearance Thursday night. No Doubt`s Gwen Stefani celebrated her new L.A.M.B. clothing line collection, while the LnA party featured performances by Metric and punk poet Patti Smith. Bureau Report
