Guns 'N' Roses bar journalists from their return to Barcelona.

Barcelona's Lluís Companys Stadium hosted Guns 'N' Roses for the third time this Monday, a performance where, unlike previous performances, the Californian band barred the media, impeding photographers and cameramen from working and denying accreditation to reporters who, as usual, cover the city's performances.

The ban, which applies to all concerts on the current tour, titled Because What You Want and What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things, is in line with many artists who already prevent the media from taking pictures of their concerts, while the audience can record them live without any problems using their mobile phones.

This was the case of the thousands of people gathered last night in Montjuïc, who were not enough to completely fill the coliseum (80%), but they did make a lot of noise when the band took to the stage a few minutes after 8:30 p.m. with the caustic guitar of Wellcome to the Jungle, kicking off a concert where Slash showed off his guitar skills, which, like good wine, improve with age, and in his case are now 59.

Duff Mckagan also maintained his composure on bass, something that could not be said about Axl Rose's voice, who, as is usual on these reconciliation tours, did what he could to survive tests such as Out Ta Get Me or Live and Let Die , feeling more relaxed in Bad Obsession or Absurd , released in 2021 with the current line-up.

These details seemed to matter little to the audience, captivated by the colorful, fast-paced Las Vegas-like visuals, intent only on someone taking them once again on a journey to the longed-for Paradise City.
