According to Loudwire.com, Guns N’ Roses gave fans big surprise on Saturday when they played the Use Your Illusion I deep cut “Bad Apples” for the first time in 35 years at Monsters of Rock Brazil. The Monsters of Rock performance in Sao Paulo marked just the third time ever the band played “Bad Apples” live. They last performed the hard-rocking deep cut on May 11, 1991, at Los Angeles’ Pantages Theatre during the second of three warm-up gigs for the massive Use Your Illusion Tour. Four months earlier, they debuted the song live at Rock in Rio 1991.
Saturday’s Monsters of Rock performance marked the third date of Guns N’ Roses‘ 2026 world tour, which launched last Saturday at the Tecate Pa’l Norte festival in Monterrey, Mexico. Last night’s show saw the tour debuts of “Rocket Queen” and Black Sabbath’s “Junior’s Eyes,” which the band first covered at Ozzy Osbourne’s Back to the Beginning show last summer. They also played the Use Your Illusion I deep cut “Dead Horse,” which has only appeared in their sets a handful of times over the past seven years.
