What's Happening?
Guns N' Roses addressed a recent incident involving frontman Axl Rose during a concert in Buenos Aires. The band clarified that Rose's on-stage outburst, which included kicking the drum kit, was due to technical difficulties with his in-ear monitor. The monitor was only
transmitting percussion sounds instead of the full mix, causing frustration for Rose. The issue was resolved by the third song, and the band continued with the performance. The band emphasized that the incident was not related to the performance of their new drummer, Isaac Carpenter, who replaced Frank Ferrer earlier this year.
