Axl Rose lost his temper on stage over a technical glitch during a Saturday concert at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Guns N’ Roses frontman, 63, in footage uploaded to YouTube, was seen seething on the stage after his earpiece appeared to have technical difficulties.
In the clip, the Grammy-nominated artist was seen onstage in South America performing the band’s breakout 1987 hit, Welcome To The Jungle.
The singer-songwriter, clad in an all-black ensemble of a black leather jacket and pants, was joined onstage by his current iteration of bandmates, including guitarist Slash, bass player Duff McKagan, guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Isaac Carpenter.
A furious Rose was seen kicking in the direction of the drum set on multiple occasions in a fan-recorded clip that surfaced online.
The reason Rose was upset on stage was because he ‘could only hear percussion instruments’ in his earpiece, a source close to the rock star told Daily Mail Monday.

‘There were technical difficulties with Axl’s in ear monitors,’ the source said. He could only hear the percussion instruments – and nothing else.’
The snafu distracted Rose and temporarily impacted his ability to perform amid the latest date on their Latin American tour.
Techs remedied the issue for the iconic rocker, whose hits include Paradise City, Sweet Child O’ Mine and November Rain, sources told the outlet.
‘The tech team was able to fix the issue by the third song and the show went on smoothly,’ the source told Daily Mail Monday.
Insiders stressed to the outlet that Rose was not upset with Carpenter over his performance.
While Rose appeared to be focused in the direction of the drum set during his meltdown, it was unrelated to the man with the sticks, the source emphasized.
‘It had nothing to do with the drummer who is top notch and great,’ said the source.
Onstage antics aside, Rose’s name surfaced in the political headlines in recent days.

President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump revealed in his new book Under Siege that his sister, former White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump, had a huge crush on the Patience singer when she was growing up.
‘She had a signed Axl Rose poster in her room in Trump Tower – her first crush, with tattoos, the trademark bandanna tied around his head, ripped, and leather jacket,’ Eric said.
Rose took a direct jab at Ivanka in 2018, after she was defending her father’s conduct juxtaposed against his comments on the infamous Access Hollywood tape; and multiple women accusing him of sexual misconduct at the time.
‘I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated there’s no truth to it,’ Ivanka, then a top White House official alongside her husband Jared Kushner, told NBC News at the time.
Rose then took to X/Twitter to say that ‘what’s inappropriate is Ivanka Trump being part of the White House administration.’
