Gun's N' Roses Secure the Title of Most Wack Performances in History
Guns N' Roses Shatter Record with Epic Performance at Wacken Open Air
Rock legends Guns N' Roses made history at the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany, with a record-breaking performance that lasted over three hours.
The US band, fronted by the charismatic Axl Rose, took to the stage around 8:35 PM on Thursday evening and ended just before midnight, treating fans to an extended set that included multiple cover songs.
During the show, Guns N' Roses paid tribute to heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne by performing two of Black Sabbath's iconic songs, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Never Say Die!".
Rose addressed the crowd, saying, "We're all here because of you." The sentiment was echoed by the festival organisers, who hailed the performance as the longest in the history of the Wacken Open Air.
The Wacken Open Air, which has been hosting the metal scene regularly since 1990, is considered one of the largest heavy metal festivals worldwide. Previous acts to grace the stage include the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Ozzy Osbourne himself.
This year, the French band Gojira and the US rockers Papa Roach are also expected to perform at the festival.
The record-breaking performance by Guns N' Roses marked the end of their European and Middle East tour. With an average show length of around 3 hours and 1 minute, and some sources noting approximately 3 and a half hours for their performances at the festival, the show was a testament to the band's enduring popularity and their commitment to delivering an unforgettable live experience.
Celebrities like Axl Rose and his band Guns N' Roses offered a night of unparalleled entertainment at the Wacken Open Air, with their music-filled performance breaking the record for longest show in the festival's history. The extended setlist included cover songs and tributes to other music legends, further showcasing the intertwining of music genres in the entertainment industry.
