AceShowbiz - Guns N' Roses surprised fans during their recent concert in Sao Paolo, Brazil, by performing the song Bad Apples live for the first time since 1991. This deep cut from their Use Your Illusion I album had only been played twice before in the band’s history, including its live debut at the Rock in Rio festival in 1991.

The band took the stage at the Monsters of Rock Brazil festival on March 28, 2026, delivering a memorable performance that delighted longtime followers. Axl Rose and his bandmates dug deep into their catalog, resurrecting a song that had been absent from their live shows for over 35 years. Notably, guitarist Slash has also performed Bad Apples live in the past with his side project, Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.

Alongside Bad Apples, the setlist at the Sao Paolo show included other rare tracks, such as Dead Horse, which had also not been frequently performed. Additionally, Rocket Queen returned to the lineup, adding to the excitement for concertgoers. Earlier in the 2026 world tour, the band debuted two songs live for the first time during their opening show in Mexico: Atlas and Nothin’, both of which continued to feature in their setlist.

This unexpected dive into less commonly played material highlights the band’s commitment to offering fans a unique and evolving live experience throughout their 2026 world tour. The performance at the Monsters of Rock Brazil festival marks a significant moment in the band’s live history, reconnecting with deep cuts that have long been absent from their concerts.
