Guns N’ Roses has released an official video recap celebrating the band’s two-night residency at the Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó in Buenos Aires, Argentina, held on October 17th and 18th. The recap arrives following the highly successful Latin American leg of their tour, which saw massive turnout, with the Buenos Aires engagement being the only two-night stop in the region. The performances saw a total of 73,287 tickets sold across the two shows, according to Pollstar, contributing to the tour’s substantial gross revenue.
The Buenos Aires shows were noted for their massive scale, though the second night featured a brief moment of onstage drama involving frontman Axl Rose.
During the opening song on October 18th, Rose was captured on fan-filmed video visibly frustrated, leading to him throwing his microphone at the drum kit, removing his jacket, and briefly walking off stage. He later told the audience he would “just try and wing this” after kicking the bass drum. The incident quickly sparked speculation online, with some wondering if his anger was directed at the sound issues or new drummer Isaac Carpenter, who replaced Frank Ferrer earlier in the year.
The band was quick to clarify the situation days later, publicly assuring fans that the issue was purely technical. A statement released by Guns N’ Roses explained: “During the opening song at our recent Buenos Aires concert, Axl‘s in-ear monitor pack had only the percussion in his ears versus his entire mix.”
The technical team managed to resolve the problem swiftly, and the show proceeded successfully. The statement went on to emphatically defend their newest member: “The issue was fixed by our tech team by the third song, and we had a great night. The situation had nothing to do with Isaac Carpenter‘s playing, who is top notch and a great drummer.”
The new official video recap aims to showcase the energy and scale of the performances, capturing the high points of the band’s successful return to Argentina, where they demonstrated the enduring appeal of one of rock’s biggest draws. This two-night stand contributed significantly to the overall Latin American tour sales, which, for the first eight shows alone, saw over 239,000 tickets sold and grossed $23.2 million.
