Bio:
Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band formed in Los Angeles, in 1985. The classic lineup as signed to Geffen Records in 1986 consisted of vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Steven Adler. Today, Axl Rose is the only remaining original member, in a lineup that comprises Use Your Illusion–era keyboardist Dizzy Reed, lead guitarists DJ Ashba and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer, and keyboardist Chris Pitman. The band has released six studio albums to date, accumulating sales of more than 100 million records worldwide,including shipments of 45 million in the United States,making them one of the world's best-selling bands of all time.A year after its release, Guns N' Roses' debut album Appetite for Destruction (1987) reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, on the strength of the hit "Sweet Child o' Mine", their only single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.The album has sold in excess of 28 million copies worldwide,including 18 million units sold in the United States, making it the best-selling debut album of all time in the U.S.The success of their debut was followed by the eight-song album G N' R Lies (1988) which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The twin albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II (1991) debuted at No. 2 and No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and have sold a combined 35 million copies worldwide,including 14 million units sold in the United States alone.The cover album "The Spaghetti Incident?" (1993) was the band's last studio album to feature Slash and McKagan. After more than a decade of work and many lineup changes, Guns N' Roses released the long-awaited album Chinese Democracy (2008) which, at an estimated $14 million in production costs, made it the most expensive album to ever be produced in music history.It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 but undersold industry expectations, despite mostly positive critical reception.Guns N' Roses have been credited with reviving the mainstream popularity of rock music, at a time when popular music was dominated by dance music and pop metal.Their late 1980s and early 1990s years have been described as the period in which they brought forth a "hedonistic rebelliousness" reminiscent of the early Rolling Stones,a reputation that had earned them the nickname "The World's Most Dangerous Band".The band's classic lineup, along with later members Reed and drummer Matt Sorum, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, their first year of eligibility.

This not the usual stuff presented in this blog, but we know there's a lot GUNS N' ROSES fans 'round here. "Not In This Lifetime... Live In Tokyo 2017" was recorded during the current, world-wide mammoth tour. Sure, it's a bootleg, but a very good one, well captured and released on a finely printed, double CD jewel case.Returning to live performance with the founding members vocalist Axl Rose, bassist Duff McKagan and lead guitarist Slash, are Use Your Illusion-era keyboardist Dizzy Reed, rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardist Melissa Reese.Original rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin and drummer Steven Adler from the Appetite For Destruction sessions that made the hard rockers a household name did not reunite for this tour.With a nearly three hour-long setlist spanning all the group’s releases and a major selection of covers ranging from Led Zeppelin to The Who, the shows have been well received all over the world.This particular show is the one performed at Saitama, Japan, January 28th, 2017.Note: there's floating over the internet a recording from the following day show - Saitama, Japan, January 29th - but sound quality is not so good.Even with all the years of rock-and-roll excess, and even with his bona fide middle aged status, Axl Rose can still sing. Early in the show, his voice is wobbly and just off at certain key moments, but by the time the band hit “Live and Let Die,” about one-third of the way through the show, his voice was all warmed up and continued to rage through the remaining 20-plus songs.He spouted the first lines of “Welcome to the Jungle” with a conservative halt, a far cry from its original wildcat rasp. But as the show go on, so did his inhibitions. By the time he got to “Used To Love Her” later, he’d found his sweet spot — by no means lithe, but more than recognizable.Slash still rocks with his characteristic pose behind his signature Ray-Ban aviator and an inky mop of curls, mapping out visionary constellations on the fretboard.Most Guns N' Roses hits are here in its 2017 versions, pretty faithful to the originals: "Sweet Child O' Mine", “Welcome to the Jungle”, "Paradise City" and "Don't Cry", but also inside cuts that all we love such as "Out Ta Get Me", "Coma" or "Rocket Queen".If you’re any kind of Guns N’ Roses fan and you haven’t seen this tour yet, it may be your last chance to ever see this iconic repertoire of music performed live by the people who created it.I am pretty sure several shows were filmed / recorded, meanwhile this "Not In This Lifetime... Live In Tokyo 2017" is a faithful testimony of GN'R 2017.
