Happy 60th birthday, Axl Rose. Nope, not kidding — the Guns N’ Roses frontman and rock’s most notorious procrastinator was both Feb. 6, 1962. While you spin Appetite For Destruction in celebration and ponder where the hell the decades have gone, take a spin through next week’s new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes. Maybe we’ll be celebrating one of these artists 60 years from now. Well, maybe you will. I’ll be dead.
