A Guns N Roses drum kit burst into flames during a concert in Los Angeles early this week.

Axl Rose and his band were reportedly performing 'November Rain' on Tuesday night, when the kit caught fire from the on-stage pyrotechnics.

According to Gigwise, Rose said to the audience at the Gibson Amphitheatre, "That's a first. The fu**ing drums caught fire. I like that. We might just Spinal Tap the drummer. Blow him up."

Guns N Roses are due to release their long-awaited album Chinese Democracy in the spring.
