Guns N' Roses Delight Fans with Rare Performance of 'Bad Apples' in São Paulo
Guns N’ Roses surprised fans at a recent show in São Paulo by performing the song Bad Apples from their early 1990s album Use Your Illusion I for the first time in 35 years. The track, which had only been played live twice before in 1991, made a rare appearance during the band’s set at Monsters of Rock Brazil on April 4. Despite not being a major single, Bad Apples has remained a beloved deep cut among dedicated fans of the band.
The unexpected inclusion of Bad Apples in the setlist added a unique element to the performance, which otherwise featured many of Guns N’ Roses’ classic hits that have defined their career. The decision to mix in lesser-played tracks with well-known favorites showcased the band’s willingness to keep their live shows fresh and engaging for audiences.
As Guns N’ Roses continue their tour through South America, the reintroduction of Bad Apples into their setlist serves as a reminder of the band’s diverse catalog and their ability to surprise and delight fans with unexpected song choices. The performance in São Paulo highlighted the band’s ongoing commitment to delivering memorable live experiences that cater to both casual listeners and die-hard followers alike.
