Guns N’ Roses Revives ‘Bad Apples’ Live for First Time Since 1991

The setlist shift signals a tour mixing deep cuts with new songs.

Overview

  • At Monsters of Rock Brazil in São Paulo, the band performed the Use Your Illusion I track for the first time in 35 years in what was only its third-ever live airing.
  • The São Paulo show also featured the rarely played ‘Dead Horse’, the returning ‘Rocket Queen’, and a cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘Junior’s Eyes’.
  • The 2026 run opened in Monterrey, Mexico, where the band gave their December releases ‘Atlas’ and ‘Nothin’’ their live debuts.
  • These dates proceed without keyboardist Melissa Reese after she stepped away for personal reasons, and they are the first since longtime drummer Frank Ferrer left the lineup last year.
  • Guitarist Slash has said the group plans to package recent re-recorded tracks next, followed by a new album of original material.
