Guns Reloaded, A Guns N' Roses Experience, at Roisin Dubh

What to Expect

Guns Reloaded bill themselves as a Guns N’ Roses experience rather than a straight tribute, working through the Los Angeles band’s catalogue from the 1987 debut “Appetite for Destruction” onward, “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, “Welcome to the Jungle”, “November Rain” and “Paradise City” among the songs likely to feature. Guns N’ Roses built their reputation on a mix of hard rock riffing, Slash’s guitar work and Axl Rose’s distinctive vocal range, and a tribute act built around that catalogue lives or dies on how convincingly it can reproduce both the guitar solos and the vocal performance, since both are instantly recognisable to anyone who grew up on the band. Expect a full band show with a strong emphasis on musicianship and stage presence, a set list built for maximum singalong potential, and a room full of people who know every word of “November Rain” whether they want to admit it or not. Roisin Dubh’s standing floor and strong PA system suit a loud, guitar forward show like this one well.
