On Sept. 4, Guns N Roses’ BottleRock set in Napa Valley was peaking with their hit “Paradise City” – complete with a sit-in by Dave Grohl – when their onstage power was cut.
The venue’s reasoning was that the band had run over the event’s strict 10 p.m. curfew (BottleRock is nestled in a residential area of Napa Valley).
As some may recall, Neil Young suffered a similar fate at BottleRock 2019, getting the power cut on him in the midst of “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
And, just like Young’s ill-fated set, Guns N Roses fans made the best of a bad situation and sang the end of “Paradise City” sans power.
Watch what went down via YouTuber ConcertPipeline below – the power gets cut around the 3-minute mark:

September 9, 2021 at 1:49 amAxl Rose for his age at least looks like he is still rocking, I’m that he’s moving around a lot on stage, notice many of the older rockers who when up on stage; can barely move.
I don’t care that he weighs more than he did when he was 25; who doesn’t when you are looking at 30vyears ago.
It’s his voice or lack of one. I was shocked to hear him squeaking like a mouse, over and over again.
He has no range, he just squeaks and squeaks.
As to understanding what the words are that he is singing, well if you don’t already know the words, then you will never know the words to most of the song because it
really not understandable.
But the squeaking and squeaking all in one key.
No I have no desire to see this GNR.
Sad but true.
