Slash expressed skepticism about the idea of GUNS N’ ROSES performing at the Sphere in Las Vegas, stating, “I’m gonna go see METALLICA over there,” indicating his preference for a more raw and unfiltered rock experience rather than a theatrical production.
He criticized the production-heavy nature of the Sphere, noting, “It’s really about the production, and it’s not so much about the band,” which reflects his concern that such an environment could detract from the authenticity of live performances.
Despite his reservations about the venue, Slash praised METALLICA’s innovative residency, saying, “I love that METALLICA’s always doing something new. It’s great,” highlighting his admiration for their unique approach to live shows.
The Sphere has quickly gained a reputation as a premier entertainment venue since its opening in September 2023, featuring a massive capacity and advanced technology, which has attracted major artists like U2 and THE EAGLES.
Ultimately, Slash concluded that GUNS N’ ROSES will prioritize the “wild, unrestrained rock show” over the spectacle of the Sphere, leaving fans wondering if the band will ever embrace such a venue.
