Watch footage from Guns N' Roses' mind-blowing 2018 headline set at Download Festival.

Following the launch of their new Not In This Lifetime… concert streaming series, Guns N' Roses have just unveiled a 30-minute pro-shot video of their 2018 Download Festival headline set.

The band's 'classic' line-up featuring Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan (plus Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer and Melissa Reese) topped the 2018 Donington bill alongside Ozzy Osbourne and Avenged Sevenfold that year, with Kerrang! labelling Guns as 'Kings Of The Jungle' following their mind-blowing performance on the Saturday night.

This footage in particular features a cover of Velvet Revolver's Slither to kick things off, with Rocket Queen, You Could Be Mine, Attitude and Sweet Child O' Mine all following.

While it's undoubtedly going to be a long while until we get to see Guns grace the stage again, there's a chance that fans might be hearing new material one day, with Duff McKagan’s wife, Susan Holmes McKagan, recently revealing: “I will say Guns N’ Roses have been working fastidiously on some killer new stuff.

“I can’t say much, but I’ve heard bits and bobs and it’s pretty epic,” she continued. “I do want to spread good news, but not detailed news, I guess. Hopefully that’ll put a spring in your step!”
