Guns N Roses Live At Reading Festival

High drama and low cunning at Reading Festival on Friday Guns N Roses took to the Main stage late but delivered a bombastic run through their greatest hits and numbers from their Chinese Democracy album The performance featured much loved favourites including Welcome to the Jungle Mr Brownstone Its So Easy and November Rain and no small amount of pyrotechnics Having come onstage over an hour late it was unlikely the band would complete an epic 25 track set list At midnight event organisers were forced to invoke a Councilimposed curfew which prompted complaints from Axl Rose and threats of the bands nonappearance at the Leeds festival the following night Guns N Roses headline performance ended in the bizarre sight of the band staging a sitdown protest while drummer Frank Ferrer repeatedly played the intro to Paradise City and Axl wielded a megaphone A compelling spectacle from one of the worlds most controversial rocks bands
