Legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses have officially kicked off their much-anticipated 2025 world tour, aptly titled Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things. This bold and cryptic title sets the tone for a tour that promises raw energy, unpredictability, and the unapologetic attitude that has defined the band for decades.

Spanning Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, the tour marks a major return to the global stage for Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, and the rest of the band. It’s their first major international tour since 2022, and fans across continents are eager to experience the explosive live shows that have become the band’s trademark.

The tour opened in Tokyo with a sold-out performance that featured a blistering two-and-a-half-hour set packed with classics like “Welcome to the Jungle,” “November Rain,” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” alongside a few surprises from their deep catalog and newer material. The band proved they haven’t lost a step, with Axl’s vocals cutting through the night and Slash’s guitar solos igniting the crowd.

From Tokyo, the tour will make its way through major cities including Seoul, Dubai, Istanbul, Berlin, and London, with over 30 dates currently announced. Fans have praised the band for revisiting regions that often get overlooked in major rock tours, showing their commitment to connecting with audiences around the world.

The tour’s title, Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things, has sparked plenty of speculation. Some interpret it as a nod to the unpredictability of live music and the band’s storied career, while others see it as a reflection of the band’s rebellious ethos.

Regardless of its meaning, one thing is clear: Guns N’ Roses are back, louder and bolder than ever. For fans old and new, this tour is not just a concert series—it’s a global celebration of rock and roll defiance.
