Video: BottleRock Pulls The Plug on Guns N Roses and Dave Grohl During “Paradise City”

11:41 AM EDT on September 6, 2021


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:
