Official video footage of GUNS N’ ROSES‘ April 8 concert at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas can be seen below.
Only singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan from GN’R’s “Appetite For Destruction”-era lineup took part in the first Las Vegas gig and the five official reunion shows that followed (one in Las Vegas, Nevada and a pair each in Mexico City and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. They were joined by keyboardist Dizzy Reed, guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Frank Ferrer. Also appearing with them was second keyboardist Melissa Reese.
For the shows, Rose performed on what was apparently the same custom throne Dave Grohl used last year for FOO FIGHTERS shows after breaking a leg. Rose told the audience before GN’R launched into “Rocket Queen” on April 8: “I wanna thank Dave Grohl for this; it was very nice of him.”
GUNS N’ ROSES got a reported $8 million for its two appearances at Coachella and will make an average of $2.75 million per show on the “Not In This Lifetime” tour, which kicks off on April 23 in Detroit, Michigan.
Rose launched his stint as guest vocalist with AC/DC on May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal. Axl is also slated to perform ten rescheduled North American shows with AC/DC, with the dates yet to be announced.
