It's getting closer...

Fernando released a snippet of a video from soundcheck where you could hear the band play Slither with Axl on vocals.

Wow, Slither!


Here's a pre-show article in German:

Always exciting with the first how on a new tour/leg. Although I don't expect to be much surprised, you never know. How will Axl's voice be? Will they play Slither? Will it be a log show? Will they play something they haven't in a while? Will they say something interesting?

I m there.

:-)

Updating the setlist in first post as we go.

Playing Slither now.

I don't know either There should be a button for in the right upper corner when you write a reply on mobile phone, for hosting images. I see it on my phone.

Thanks for the photos! You were pretty close to stage?

Thanks for the photos!

I was realy close. I'll try to post more pics.

So how was the show? I heard from many that the sound was really bad, and that Axl struggled with his vocals.

This article explains how difficult it can be in stadiums sound-wise (wind, delay, possibly the sound system was not enough for a stadium of that size):

I am pleased despite Axl's voice and sound problems. When you are FOS, these things are not important, because of the emotion. Yet this is the shortest GNR show I've ever been to, it's my 4th show.

Guns N' Roses Performs Velvet Revolver's 'Slither' Live For First Time

Guns N' Roses played a cover version of Velvet Revolver's "Slither" live for the first time at the opening show of the summer 2018 European leg of the "Not In This Lifetime" tour Sunday night (June 3) in Berlin, Germany. Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be seen below.

A 15-second video clip of Guns N' Roses rehearsing "Slither" emerged earlier this weekend, leading to speculation that the band was planning to debut the track at the Berlin concert.

Velvet Revolver featured GN'R members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum alongside singer Scott Weiland and guitarist Dave Kushner.

"Slither", which was featured on Velvet Revolver's debut album, "Contraband", won a Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" in 2005.

Guns N' Roses reportedly rehearsed "Slither" during the 2016 leg of the "Not In This Lifetime" tour, but never performed the song live.
