June 29, 2016 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO. —<\/h3>\n

Guns N’ Roses Not In This Lifetime 2016 Tour.<\/p>\n

Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan, the three original members of Guns N\u2019 Roses, put on a power-packed show at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. From the lights, visuals, sound and even appearance, Guns N\u2019 Roses was firing on all eight cylinders, much to the surprise of those in attendance. <\/p>\n

Rose’s voice was amazingly strong and powerful as he muscled through each and every song they played. And did they play, with precision. The band was solid and tight, as if no years or time had lapsed whatsoever. The energy level was right up there with any band that has something to prove. What Guns N\u2019 Roses proved is that they are true pros in the music industry, and they are a force to be reckoned with. <\/p>\n

Performing 26 songs live isn’t an easy task for any band to pull off, but for Guns N’ Roses, it just flowed. It was great to hear and see Slash and McKagan play on two songs from Chinese Democracy<\/em>, the album\u2019s title track and “Better.” Best of all, the chemistry between all bandmates was there. Rose has trimmed down and looks great. Slash and McKagan still look great and have incredible stage presence. All in all, the band blew the crowd away. <\/p>\n

Other highlights of the evening were the performance of \u201cRocket Queen,\u201d \u201cDouble Talkin Jive,\u201d \u201cCivil War\u201d and \u201cThis I Love.\u201d The set list, which eventually included each and every hit, had something for even the die-hard Guns N\u2019 Roses fan, playing deep cuts from each of their albums, while adding in a few covers, \u201cRaw Power\u201d (Iggy and The Stooges), \u201cSpeak Softly\u201d (Love Theme From Godfather), the ending of \u201cLayla\u201d (Derek And The Dominos with Rose on piano) and \u201cThe Seeker\u201d (Who cover).<\/p>\n
