AXL ROSE's Levitating Piano - Nov. 3, 2012
GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose sang the song "November Rain" at the second show of the band's las Vegas residency last night (Friday, November 2) while sitting at a levitating piano. Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be seen below.

GUNS N' ROSES launched its first-ever residency on Wednesday, October 31 when the band played the first of 12 shows at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The "Appetite For Democracy" run will last through Saturday, November 24, with the band playing a setlist exclusively created for these shows.

The shows feature the current lineup of the band, of which Rose is the only original member.

GUNS N' ROSES drew criticism this past week from Clark County commissioners after they were told about an ad for the group's Vegas concerts which depicts what appears to be a sexually assaulted woman beneath the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign.

The image, which is said to be a watered-down version of the banned cover for the band's classic 1987 debut, "Appetite For Destruction", is being used in mainstream advertising, including newspaper promotions and taxicab placards.

Motley Crue wanted to use this rig when they played Vegas, but Vince exceeded the maximum weight restriction.

This is why GnR is the most dangerous band in the world.
If you want safe go see how hakk slash cheats and fumbles through a sloppy set.


That's why:
FUKK HAKK SLASH, MUFFMEISTER MCLOAD, JUNKIE ADLER & ASSKISSER RIOTACT.

Xhole=GNR!!!

Hey look, Axhole Rose got someone to post for him on Blabbermouth! Hey Axhole, try a little exercise there so the piano rig doesn't threaten to collapse under your huge gut.

No way! You mean Axhole didn't think of that himself? I can't believe it. You mean, Axhole Rose actually needs help from soneone else to come up with his ideas?

they should film these shows for a DVD, even if Axl is the only original member this lineup is pretty good.

Had a piano that went up and then spun upside down in the early '70s. Not the same but, been there, done that. And I believe Liberace had a few guys under a piano wayyyy back. Oh ....that's entirely different.

Well if Crue did use the piano as well; GNR is playing the same venue. They likely use a lot of the same set up (and rigged up equipment like this) as the bands that played residencies before them. The Hard Rock probaby wants it that way to save $.
