Guns N’ Roses kicked off their World Tour 2023 in Abu Dhabi with a 32-song set that included deep cuts, covers, an unreleased tune, and even a live debut.
Rocking the relatively new Etihad Arena in the UAE, Axl, Slash, Duff, Dizzy and the gang played for over two-and-half hours in the 18,000 capacity facility that’s hosted the likes of Kevin Hart, Sting, and the Backstreet Boys since opening right after COVID.
A quarter of the set was culled from the band’s breakthrough 1987 album, Appetite for Destruction. Starting with “It’s So Easy” to start the show and “Paradise City” to send the fans home.
Nearly as many tunes were covers including Guns staples like Bob Dylan’s “Knockin on Heaven’s Door” and Wings’ “Live and Let Die.”
