Guns N Roses Pop An AC/DC Song Into Sydney Set

After Perth, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Guns N’ Roses Australian tour set up in Sydney on Sunday night (27 November 2022) with AC/DC’s ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ added to the setlist.

Axl Rose was lead singer for the latter part of the AC/DC Rock or Bust tour of 2016 so it was an appropriate nod for the city AC/DC started in.

On the 2017 Gunners tour, Angus Young joined the band for ‘Rosie’ and ‘Riff Raff’ in both Sydney and Melbourne. The last two Guns N’ Roses Australian tours also included a cameo from Angry Anderson on Guns N’ Roses of the Rose tattoo song ‘Nice Boys’ but so far that hasn’t happened on this tour.

Sydney was where AC/DC has their origins. The very first AC/DC performance was at Chequers in Kings Cross, Sydney on 3 January, 1974.
