Sunday, October 2: GUNS N’ ROSES headlined the closing night of the Rock In Rio festival in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. The band hit the stage at about 2:45 a.m. local time in the pouring rain and kicked off the show with “Chinese Democracy”.

Axl Rose addressed the crowd:
“Good evening… good morning! Please bear with us and give us a little second here to figure out what to do about not falling on our asses. I’m gonna try to focus on singing rather than running around like an idiot. I’m better at being an idiot. We want everybody to be careful.”
