10 Legendary Rock And Metal Bands You Must See Before You Die

9. Guns N' Roses

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNmkLQh4YpE Forget all the talk about who is or isn't in the band. Forget the argument about whose fault it was that the band's best-known line-up couldn't co-exist. Whether you even know who Richard Fortus, D.J. Ashba, or Ron Thal (the latter of whom may himself be out of the band) are, know this: Guns N' Roses can still put on a brilliant show live. Why? For starters, Axl Rose has been at the live show game for a long time. The band is known to play shows upwards of three hours, and while yes, they will start gigs late (though that has been less of an issue in recent years), with that sort of set time, you're getting your money's worth. GN'R remain one of the quintessential big arena rock bands with tons of spectacle. From tons of pyro, gigantic video screens, smoke machines, confetti cannons and a shower of sparks raining down on the grand piano during November Rain and more, you'll always come away impressed afterwards.
