Our 10 Greatest Hopes and Fears for 2012

Hope: Of course, the dream is that Axl sucks it up and plays a mini-set with the original lineup at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in Cleveland. Then we hope it goes so well that the band goes on tour and records an amazing new album. This scenario is incredibly unlikely.

Fear: After months of rumors, Steven Adler is the only member of Guns N' Roses to actually show up at the ceremony. He winds up playing on "Paradise City" with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra.
