Flashback: Carrie Underwood Channels Axl Rose At CMA Music Fest

For just one night, Nashville becomes “Paradise City"



If the original members of Guns N 'Roses never wanted to meet without Axl Rose, it might be wise to ask Carrie Underwood to fill his handkerchief. Right down to the scarf hanging from his back pocket to his own set of twists turns dervishes, the country diva channeled increasingly tough to close the mercurial vocalist CMA Music Festival 2013, performing the Smash Weapons “Paradise City”.

Rolling Stones, Carrie Underwood rip through ' It's only rock n' Roll '

At first glance, a "song Roses - apart of Lies ' Guns N " Used to Love Her " or Use Your Illusion I " is not the first , " perhaps - might seem an odd choice for most high-profile collection country music . But CMA music Fest, which runs this week in Nashville, has welcomed more and more rock artists. In 2004, Bret Michaels performed with Chris Cagle, and last year made an appearance Lenny Kravitz surprising duet with Jason Aldean on “American Woman" before playing an endless jam performance of his peace - love - and - more - peace "Let Love Rule.”

Underwood , however , had a stadium full of fans from countries - many of which probably the most old when Guns N 'Roses were an MTV mainstay - spellbound from the moment when the whistle blew traffic -cop to point Big Bang song . It was that commitment to detail that made his “Paradise City”, an outstanding performance. This was not a call by phone - on the deck or a lark heavy metal, some of these country artists to join together as if to say, “Hey, I can rock too.”

With her bare legs stepping on stage, Underwood to give due attention to every word of the lyrics of Rose, the delivery of the “Are you blind?’ Aside, particularly hard. And when the song reached its climax, the singer went right over the edge with her, spinning like a tornado and stirring over a few banshee wails. The only thing missing Roses Guns N ' usual show- stopper was the Rose firm farewell: “Thank you, good fucking night!” But again, CMA Fest is a family show.
