Guns N' Roses have revealed plans to release a 3D concert movie of their "Appetite For Democracy" Las Vegas residency, which will be released in cinemas and on DVD.
Watch a preview of "Paradise City", the set finale, in the player below.
They will follow in the footsteps of Metallica who also have a 3D movie in development, but with an additional storyline about a roadie whose life is turned upside down during a live set.
The Guns N' Roses movie was recorded in front of a sell-out crowd during their residency at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on November 21. The final DVD and cinema versions will be mixed in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound.
Other details are scarce, but their producers say it captures a very tight performance from the band, and the recording is a rare treasure.
Meanwhile, Guns N' Roses will venture out to tour Australia in March.

Axl still sounds like a bad cover of himself but other than that It wasn't too bad. I don't recognize any of them except the guy who looks like Alan Rickman.
I would submit that the band does not sound that good either, honestly. I even like Ashba and Bumblefoot, but this just does not compare to Izzy and Slash. Not even close.
Im going to go watch Slash play it to purify myself
None of the members make sense being in the band. Tommy Stinson used to play bass in what is in my opinion, one of the greatest Alt Rock bands of all time- The Replacements. Taking that guy, the guy from Sixx:AM and BulletBoys, a guitar virtuoso (Bumblefoot is good enough to be called that in my opinion), the guy from Psychedelic Furs and LoveSpitLove, and a guy who's known for working with Tool and putting them as Axl Roses backing band is ridiculous. It's like Axl is looking for the opposite of musical chemistry so it's easier for him to call the shots.
he was ok, and usually these days he has done much worse, like the last Rock In Rio for example, i also noticed he kinda goes back to his old voice with those little shouts he does here and more so near the end of the song, but thats just my opinion, even though considering here on UG that dont really matter
I'm not a massive fan of the new GNR, but this is like the 30th song Axl had sung in the space of a couple of hours.I wonder how the first few sounded.
How is 24 anywhere close to 15? As for the article itself, I'm definitely interested. I can't see myself paying for a theater ticket to go see it but if I ever get the money around for a 3D TV I'd give it a watch.
This hurts, as a life long fan I think Axl should never release anything on DVD where people can hear him sing now. Ive seen GNR multiple times and even though you can hear that his voice wasnt all it used to be, you still had a blast cause you were wasted and the music was spot on. I think he should have learned his lesson after the MTV awards performance in 2002. Cringe worthy!
They're not sports teams. You don't have to dislike one because you like another.
P.S.
Myles Kennedy is still shit on his best days. His voice is shit and his songwriting is shit, but his live performances are even worse and - even with as much as he gets done - he seems just lazy, with zero energy as a live performer. He also really dumbs down his vocals live, another aspect of his lazy performances.
Check out that video.. If you don't like that you're deaf or way too ****ing biased..
He's one of the hardest working musicians out there.. Recording and touring with 2 bands for 3 years straight with almost no time off, still always delivering. And yea ok, he doesn't bounce around like Axl does, because yes, Axl used to be one of the best entertainers (and singers) in the world, but nowadays it's cringeworthy.
I could agree with the low enery part of live preformances. He is used to preforming while playing guitar, and he has great enery with alter bridge. But the other stuff is just stupid and untrue.
Bear in mind this video is the last song of what was probably a 3 hour set. I don't think many singers could keep going for 3 hours. Also, he is pretty old [for a rockstar].
Probably. It's just such a ****ing bore to see people getting upset and arguing when a few guys play a little music. Taking sides with Slash or Axl. Who the **** cares? You don't know them! Oh, and by the way, dewitt, this is not pointed at you. Just in general.
That's not true. Slash always plays more than 20 songs on his shows. You probably saw him on a festival or something like that where he wasn't allowed to play more.
Also, Slash always starts on perfectly on time, because he loves and respects his fans. Axl doesn't love his fans, he loves that his fans love him.
And yes, everybody's voice changes, but Axl's voice is awkwardly bad nowadays.
Well, when I bought the Slash-tickets, there was only the mention of Slash. So I guess that I pay all my money for Slash, ever since everywhere it said "Slash".
When i got the ticket however, there was Mötley Crüe highlighted on the ticket.
And that's how it was: Slash opening for MC.
I mean, seriously? Slash opening for MC? It's like Jesus opening for my grandmother.
I was still disappointed, as even Slash's homepage didnt say ANYthing of that. :/
Also, I think Axl sounds fantastic, especially considaring it's the encore. While I hate thst llGnR" is just session musicians now, Axl is keeping rocking.
He's a dick and a disgrace to the Guns N Roses name. It's just Axl and some guys. He would have been better off letting the GNR name die and do something else.
Actually the rhythm guitarist on his own can simultaneously play the lead, vocal and bass part of "Don't Cry" better than GnR can currently preform it live with the full band.
Ron's talent is wasted on Axl's clown act, but i guess as long as it pays the rent and gets you publicity it's worth doing.
My friend saw GNR last year and he said it was phenomenal and would rather see the line up now compared to the original lineup, and he is a huge GNR fan.
On another note, the video is the last song is the last song after another 32 songs, cut him some slack, he doesn't sound out of tune just worn. I'd seen videos of him last year and his singing was spot on, everyone is entitled to an off night.
I like it. And i'm a gnr purist, but everyone seems to been having fun, music's better than expected, and really it's gone beyond the whole members thing now. They've done a good song justice here.
10 years equals one big contact. I'm sure AXL does not want this. Poor fellow Adler sings better. "Should never have left the scene". That should be Slashes last quote a working rockstar.
Man, Slash sounds better than those 3 guys combined. They're good and all, but they don't even come close. Yes, I know Bumblefoot is an awesome soloist, but his tone was horrible in this video.
I actually liked Chinese Democracy, by the way. I just think of it as an Axl solo album instead of a GNR one.
I'm really surprised no one else said it, but I vote we get rid of Axl and just put those pole dancers front and center. The rest of the band can stay, they sounded pretty good.
I wish they'd overdubbed Axl with a better performance, or a studio take. And that Axl had gone solo with Richard, Ron, Robin, Brain, Bucket, Dizzy and Chris as his backing band.
I saw gnr last year. He sounded amazing to start, much better than 2006. But like people say, by time 30 songs have been sung and it's past 1am his vocals sounded bad. I doubt I could perform their set.
It's sad that Axl's voice is in such piss-shape. In 2010 he was on fire, sounded just about like his old '90s shape, and in two years time he's back to sounding like Mickey Mouse. I've about lost faith in him entirely.
maybe its because im not a fan, but axel doesn't sound that bad does he. reading the comments on ug before watching the youtube video I was expecting a lot worse
First off, look at Bumblefoot hanging out with the strippers the whole song!
I'm not going to lie... I'm a huge Guns N' Roses fan. Huge. About a year ago I saw Rose N' Roses here in Salt Lake and was in awe at the 3 hour show these guys put on, loved it. The band sounds great (I knew DJ prior, the rest of the band was a mystery) and Axl surprised the hell outta me going 3 hours like that. The main thing this concert shows me is the pure adrenaline mixed with ecstasy I felt at 2 am in Salt Lake in a circle pit to the grand finale Paradise City is completely present in this performance. I cannot wait for this DVD
I kinda feel bad Axl's voice was kinda going hoarse at the end here because I don't remember it getting like that here... Then again Salt Lake and Las Vegas have different forms of entertainment
Watching that was painful... The guitar work toward the end was laser-gun wanking in place Slash's brilliant smokey leads. I didn't realize just how far the guitar tone was off until I looked up a performance of Slash w/ Miles Kennedy... That band was looser, they were quicker, they were (contradictions aside) tighter. Miles Kennedy is (no surprise) a vastly superior vocalist to Axl and Slash is still Slash .
That's a long ass setlist. Axl certainly isn't what he used to be, but he has moments of awesomeness! The dude is 50 and still plays 2+ hour sets, not too bad for a guy his age.
Ugh ... All that smoking and drinking killed Axl's falsetto vocal and the bands guitar tone is atrocious. Gawd this is awful. Don't kill the legacy...oh wait, you did.
How is 24 even close to 15? In relation to the article though, I'm interested. Probably won't go see it in theater's but if I ever get around the money to buy a 3D tv I'd give it a watch.
C'mon guys.. Sing a couple of high notes in your early 20's and sound like someone is biting your sacks and try to do it again in early 60's or whatever Axl must be right now after screaming for 3 hours already before that..
Also I'm pretty sure that many of us can agree that 50 to 6:50 of the video was nothing but absolutely amazing. There is a reason why Axl has those exact guys backing him and I hope they keep going on at least until I see them live once.
This is a much better performance in my opinion, not just musically (Myles kicks Axl's ass on the vocals part) but also because nearly all the original members are together and having a great time performing:
Oh, guys. F**k this flame war between camp Slash and camp Axl. Both of them are good. Talking bout the singing, well, Axl's quite bolder than Myles, plus he's drank hectolitres of alcohol and did tons of drugs, this WILL damage your voice. But Yeah Axl's a better showman and stuff, mainly cause Myles plays guitar with Alter Bridge when singing, and you do not have nich left when youre singing and playing the guitar.AnAnd sayin that GNR nowadays is Axl + compars is dumb. Theyre really good..especially Dj Ashba, Dizzy Reed and Bumblefoot. P. s. Cant wait for the time when Bumblefoots beard is goona start living on his own And this flame war is even moře ridiculous than Android vs. iOS
