American hard rock band Guns N' Roses performed in Mumbai on May 17. Performing in the city after their debut 12 years ago, fans of the band have been waiting for them to return for a long time and they did not disappoint. It was a dream come true for many fans, who popularly call them GnR, and showed their support by wearing their favourite T-shirts of the band that not only had their logo but also song lyrics.

While Indian rockers Girish And The Chronicles opened for them with an amazing set, there were a few highlights that you have got to relive if you are a Guns N' Roses fan who was at the concert. From witnessing these moments while listening to their music, these particular parts of the performance while watching them live made it even more special.

Here are our top five iconic moments:

Slash's solo in 'Sweet Child O' Mine'
Every time Slash played his solo, you knew the crowd missed him. While he did visit India in the last decade, it was not with GnR, so to be able to watch Slash play the opening of 'Sweet Child O' Mine' has been a dream come true for many Indian fans. While there are many of his iconic solos from other songs, this was just perfect. While many may disagree, the 'Welcome To The Jungle' riff comes a close second and the one on 'Paradise City' comes a hard-fought third.

Axl Rose plays piano for 'November Rain'
For many Indian fans, watching Axl Rose sing is a complete source of joy and one that they have enjoyed over the years. However, the lead vocalist totally transforms with 'November Rain' as he not only sings but also plays the piano for this iconic song and that is simply mesmerising.

Richard Fortus and Slash's acoustic guitar performance for 'Patience'
While Slash was belting his solos, Richard Fortus also stood out for his clean riffs but it only got better as both combined talents to ditch their electric guitars for their acoustic set for 'Patience'. For every person who has heard it online, watching them live is simply surreal as a GnR fan, coupled with Rose's magnetic voice.

Axl Rose whistling at the start of 'Patience'
Axl Rose whistling at the start of 'Patience' is one of the most iconic openings in a song by the band that is not done with instruments. Having listened to it digitally over the years, seeing him do it live is easily one of the favourites for many fans not only in India but across the world. To watch him pull it off smoothly even after so many years during a three-hour long set reminds you why he is so good.

Drummer Isaac Carpenter's opening sequence for 'Paradise City'
Even as Axl Rose, Duff McKagan and Slash were playing their hearts out, their newest member drummer Isaac Carpenter was a ball of energy throughout the performance. While he performed so many parts perfectly, he absolutely stood out when he nailed the iconic opening sequence for their last song 'Paradise City' with Slash. It was a perfect end to the concert, that was produced by BookMyShow Live.
