Guns N’ Roses – Not in this lifetime tour – Berlin 2018

Take a sit, this is gonna be a long one…

My favorite part of these classic, huge concerts is while I wait outside the venue and see how many different people can be brought together by music, from kids to the elderly, normal people, weird people, people who are crazy enough to have Axl Rose (in his good years) tattooed on their legs. 
I also enjoy to see how people are having fun and how drunk they get beforehand, which also makes me think what they do for a living to get drunk paying 5 to 8 EUR for a drink!!

Surprisingly, the venue was not even half full, as you can see in the pictures. Their first official tour in like 25 years and this is what they start with???
Ok, tickets were quite expensive, ranging from 80 up to 140 Euros. But, Iron Maiden is also Playing next week in Berlin for 90 Euros the cheapest ticket and it is completely sold out!

As for the concert itself, I am gonna make it as short as I can because well…I was waiting for more, much more!

I got lucky on a “Live Nation” attempt to get more crowd to the Guns N’ Roses concert , so I only paid 35 EUR for a sitting place on the back of the stadium, but, lucky me, under a sound box, which made Guns N’ Roses sound, to say the least, loud!

My Impressions on the concert itself:

DISAPPOINTING is the right word to use here. It was the first show of their reunited tour, on an amazing sunny Sunday in one of the most beautiful stadiums I have ever been to, but the scenario was poorly done, and let’s be honest between Axl Rose and Slash they have aged around 150 years, definitely not the cute 20 something lads every girl (and even guys) wanted to fuck at the time, which of course is nature, but the chemistry between them is just not there anymore.
Axl Rose’s voice cannot reach the same notes and the interaction with the public was minimal, there was no feeling of belonging or this amazingness you get when you can feel the music vibrates in you. The best part was Axl’s Rose clothes, that looked like he was still 20.
Slash can still do killer solos, but quite predictable. Although I was lucky to be under a box the sound before the stage seemed to be horrible and all reviews so far had nothing really good to say.
But, I like to see a good side on everything. I was really happy they played every single classic song I was waiting for (check the Set list) and ended with “Paradise city” and some confetti and fireworks.
Sadly, not all the people stayed to the end.

I would definitely NOT recommend it, but I was lucky enough to have the chance to see a childhood crush band before they died or separate again.

So, if you think you won’t have another chance of seeing what once was a great band, GO FOR IT!
