Guns N’ Roses have been busy rehearsing for their summer stadium tour of North America – which kicks off in Detroit, MI on Thursday – and behind the scenes footage from the sessions has surfaced.
A short clip shared by Fender Guitars shows Duff McKagan and other members of the band in their rehearsal space to the soundtrack of the original recording of “Paradise City” – unfortunately no real audio from the sessions has been included in the footage.
DW Drums are also sharing video of Frank Ferrer from rehearsals.
The summer shows will see the reunited trio of Axl Rose, Slash and McKagan perform material from the band’s legendary albums, including 1987’s smash “Appetite For Destruction” – the biggest selling debut album of all time with more than 30 million copies sold worldwide.
The GNR lineup is rounded out by Ferrer, guitarist Richard Fortus and keyboardist Dizzy Reed alongside new addition, keyboardist Melissa Reese.
Rose is rejoining the group after stepping in to assist AC/DC with a spring tour of Europe in place of Brian Johnson that saw the singer earn rave reviews over the 13-show run.
Alice In Chains will open the first five dates of the summer tour, with Chris Stapleton, Lenny Kravitz, The Cult and others on board as guests for various shows over the two-month trek.
