In late 1992, Guns N' Roses were heading towards the end of their Use Your Illusion tour. Having played more than 120 shows in North America, Europe and Japan, they flew to South America to round things off, with eight shows lined up in five countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Argentina in Brazil.
It wouldn't be a Guns N' Roses tour if things didn't go entirely to plan, and trouble followed the band around the continent. The Calgary Herald reported that 178 fans had been arrested at the National Stadium in Santiago, Chile, after becoming violent when the show started late, and that 20 policemen had been injured at the previous show in Bogota, Colombia.
