Previously, I mentioned that I was looking forward to the band being warmed up by the time my final show rolled around, and it seemed that the planet followed suit. By the end of June it was scorching across most of Europe, with the south west of France hitting around 35C when we visited. Between…
Monsters of Rock [Download, June 9 2018]
As the 2017 Europe tour came to a close, it was unclear whether the Not in this Lifetime tour would stop here again. A 2nd U.S tour had been announced at this point, and with a mere 20 shows played on the Europe run, it seemed likely we’d get some more. Just before that 2nd…

Axl Rose and the band were in fine form, and subsequently booked a tour of the Americas….
