So apparently Guns just finished 2022 European Tour last night in Germany. I still hope that Glasgow will be rescheluded so the fans over there get to see the show!
What are your thoughts of the tour?
I was lucky enough to be able to attend Prague and both London shows!
I think this tour was a lot better than 2018 European tour and thats because of the energy they had playing on stage! Axl and Slash seemed both be enjoying themselfs. In 2018 they seemed a bit tired of the constant touring.
For me Prague concert was an amazing experince that I wasnt expecting. I was 10 meters away from stage and dead center. Axl gave it his all and so did the rest of the band. Long setlist with a few songs I hadnt seen them perform before (new songs, Reckless, Crazy).
London shows were a bit underwhelming after that. Great shows anyway.
Share your thoughts and experiences!

Just saying I was in Prague 2022 show and this show was like a different band different Axl. In Prague Axl was in good mood, telling jokes, telling the crowd how amazing they were etc smiling having good confidence and deputing SOD etc.
Now we got delays, tense and angry Axl, skipping songs, short setlists, low voice and he felt totally embarassed.. talking to intercom all the time looking to Fernando side of stage.. seemingly angry and upset.
Im sorry forum people but the shows were not so enjoyable in London. Yes it was something different but if you have waited for 3 years and this is what you get.. no November rain, ycbm, rq etc.
All in all I still had a great time! It was interesting to see the show live and there was this momentum is he going to make it till the end and Im glad he did with a little help from Carrie Underwood. People were literally crying before SCOM that they didnt get SCOM or November rain. When SCOM started the whole arena exploded!

Just got back from the show. Im so glad I took my girlfriend to see them yesterday and not today! What a mess of an show!
Band started 1 hour and 15 minutes late. Crowd booed since they were not showing up. Once the show started people started fighting and into song 6 all the idiots (over 10 people close to me) were removed from the show.
I thought that Estranged sounded excelent with lower voice! At this point I noticed that this is why Axl has been tense.. he is having vocal issues. Then after Estranged he addressed it. "As you might have noticed Im having issues here (points at throat). I have to make adjustments to the way I sing the rest of the songs for tonight. Hope you dont mind. I slept last night here at the stadium to prepare for the show. These shows are very important to us and we didnt want to cancel." Or something like that.
I attended show yesterday and today. Both setlist were short and missing major songs. Yesterdays show was much better. As much as I like his lower voice it doesnt sound as good as yesterday.

Short setlist! A bit bummed out. Axl sounded really strong for most of the show. Strange that they left out YCBM.
I blame my seats. They were almost identical to Berlin show. That was the worst show I have been to and this might be the second worst one. Never seats again

Anyone seen the timings on the Tottenham website, showing GNR coming on for 6.45!! Seems a bit early
It was the same time in Prague and Guns actually hit the stage 5 minutes early.

When you are close to the stage youre so into it that you dont neccessary pay so much attention to Axls vocal performance. It will be nice to see in London when Im in General Admission if the vocal performance bothers me.

Okay heres some of my thoughts after the concert. I have seen NITL 5 times now and this concert is Top 2 (top1 is Prague 2017). I have never seen Axl so energetic, smiling and enjoying himself and performing.. trough out the wholw show!! He had a great day thats for sure!
And that is what made this concert so special. Very energetic Axl, while he may be lacking in vocal deparment in some songs, his energetic and fun performance made up for it.
Day was extremely hot and I saw lots of people leaving the show early because of dehydrarion sickness.
I came in as soon as gates opened and stayed in the shadows until 1 hour before Guns came on. Managed to get to center of the stage something like row 13. Felt amazing being that close to the stage and seeing everything without the need to look at the screens!
I was a bit disapointed in not hearing Axl sing WTTJ intro. I think he may accidently switched to band intercom when he was doing the "moaning" intro because nothing came out of the speakers!
I liked the pace of the setlist. Good mix of slowing down and speeding up. Highlights for me were Coma and Reckless Life! I went nuts! Axl didnt sing Walk All Over You very well so it kinda would have been a highlight but yeah. Street of Dreams was a nice addition to the setlist! I had a feeling that Slash just didnt properly train/memorize the original solo so he just had to improvise something and it didnt go well. Maybe next time he will do better.
All in all I had an amazing concert experience and had tears of joy multiple times during concert! Thank you Axl and Thank you Guns N Roses! I will be seeing you in London!

European Tour 2022 thoughts
in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Posted · Edited by Kelmi
Exactly! I was starving to see my favourite band after Covid cancellations and postponements.. finally I got to travel and live like the olden days and participate in concerts! Made my summer so much better! Thank you GNR!
I went to the shows with different mindset than in 2017 or 2018. In 2017 I was waiting for a killer Axl performance (bcs of 2016 performances) and it was the first time I got to see Axl and Slash together. Expectations were really high! And I was a bit let down from his vocals not reaching 2016 highs.
This time around I went to enjoy the concert more. I didnt care how Axl would sound.. I just knew that I know every song they will play front and back and will just watch the show, enjoy and not film so much of the performance. And if was a blast!
