GUNS N' ROSES Releases Video Compilation Of AXL ROSE's Onstage Falls
May 19, 2025GUNS N' ROSES has released a video containing almost an entire minute's footage of frontman Axl Rose falling on stage during the band's live performances.
The official GN'R Instagram account shared a collection of clips of 14 different times that Rose had taken a tumble during the group's live performances, set to the classic GUNS N' ROSES song "Welcome To The Jungle". In the video, captioned "Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits", Rose can be seen falling on his back, face-planting and, in one instance, missing the end of the stage and walking right over the edge. Included in the 59-second compilation is Axl's latest fall, which happened on Saturday (May 17) when he tripped while running up the stairs during GUNS N' ROSES' performance of "Sweet Child O' Mine" in Mumbai, India.
GUNS N' ROSES' 2025 world tour kicked off on May 1 at Incheon, South Korea's Songdo Moonlight Festival Park. The concert marked the band's first live appearance with new drummer Isaac Carpenter, who replaced Frank Ferrer, the longest-serving drummer in GUNS N' ROSES' storied run, in March.
GUNS N' ROSES's "Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things" tour includes a May 23 show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The band is also scheduled to play in Shekvetili in the republic of Georgia and make multiple stops across Europe with support from rock band RIVAL SONS, hip-hop icons PUBLIC ENEMY and a reunited SEX PISTOLS.
Frank first joined GUNS N' ROSES during a show in June 2006, helping anchor the rhythm section during subsequent tours, including their recent outings featuring the reunited trio of Rose, Slash and McKagan. Ferrer's last show with the band took place November 5, 2023 in Mexico.
Ferrer laid down drums tracks on five songs on GUNS N' ROSES' most recent studio album, 2008's "Chinese Democracy". He also appeared on the live portion of 2022's "Hard Skool" EP, with former drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia appearing on the studio tracks and GUNS' ROSES' 2023 singles "Perhaps" and "The General".
Carpenter had most recently played drums for the alternative rock band AWOLNATION. He also previously sat behind the kit with McKagan's LOADED band and toured with Adam Lambert on the "Glam Nation" tour in 2010.
The rest of GUNS N' ROSES' current lineup includes guitarist Richard Fortus, and keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese.
