Guns N’ Roses performs “Bad Apples” in concert for the first time in nearly 30 years

Guns N’ Roses took the stage on April 4th at the ‘Monsters Of Rock’ festival in São Paulo, Brazil, treating fans to a memorable evening. The festival at the Allianz Parque included a lineup of artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Extreme, Halestorm, Yngwie Malmsteem, and more.

The evening concluded with a 24-song setlist from Guns N’ Roses, featuring their well-known hits and some covers of Wings and Bob Dylan songs. However, the highlight came three songs before the end when the band performed “Bad Apples” live for the first time since 1991. This track from their third studio album, “Use Your Illusion I” in 1991, had only been played twice before at ‘Rock In Rio’ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and another occasion in Los Angeles in May of the same year.

During their current Latin American tour, Guns N’ Roses were without keyboardist/vocalist Melissa Reese, who was absent due to personal reasons. However, the band pressed on, continuing their performances with dates such as Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Campo Grande, Cariacica, Salvador, and more.

Despite the absence of Melissa Reese, the band’s showmanship remained strong. The live performance of “Bad Apples” after three decades was a testament to their enduring appeal and dedication to their fans.

Guns N’ Roses are known for their electrifying live performances, and their recent show in São Paulo was no exception. Fans were treated to a night of nostalgia and celebration of the band’s rich musical history. The inclusion of “Bad Apples” in their setlist added an element of surprise and excitement for long-time followers, reminding them of the band’s extensive catalogue of music.

As Guns N’ Roses continue their tour through Latin America, the absence of Melissa Reese has not hindered their ability to deliver powerful and memorable performances. The band’s resilience and dedication to their craft have allowed them to adapt and continue captivating audiences worldwide.

Overall, Guns N’ Roses’ performance at the ‘Monsters Of Rock’ festival was a testament to their enduring legacy in the world of rock music. With their electrifying energy and timeless hits, the band continues to prove why they are considered one of the greatest rock acts of all time.
