Guns N’ Roses rock Melbourne, apologise over 'Hello Sydney!' mistake
Legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses held its most anticipated concert at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Tuesday. The concert was part of the band's world tour.
The two-and-a-half-hour concert did not start as scheduled that resulted in some restlessness from the waiting fans. But the most anticipated opening of the concert brought hostile reactions from the audience when guitar technician McBob mistakenly said "Hello Sydney!" The fans began to say boo, but when the band started to play, everything was forgotten.
Gun N' Roses performed classic songs for the 70,000 fans in the concert. The band started with the song “It's So Easy.” It was followed by the songs “Mr Brownstone” and “Welcome to the Jungle." The other songs played by the band were “ Sweet Child O' Mine,” “November Rain,” “Night Train,” “ Rocket Queen” and “Double Talkin' Jive. ”
After the show, Guns N' Roses went to Twitter to apologise to fans. The band explained to them that it was an error and was truly sorry for what happened. The band also thanked the fans for coming to the concert.
The original members of the band who performed in the concert were Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (guitarist) and Duff McKagan (bass). The band now has Richard Fortus (guitar) and Frank Ferrer (drums). In the past, Steven Adler and Matt Sorum were on drums while Izzy Stradlin played the guitar.
Here are some posts on Twitter about the Guns N' Roses' concert.
