Guns N' Roses delivered a historic performance in São Paulo on April 4, 2026, reviving their track 'Bad Apples' for the first time in 35 years. The iconic rock band played the song from their 1991 album 'Use Your Illusion I' during their show at Allianz Parque as part of the Monsters Of Rock Brazil festival.
This marked only the third time ever that 'Bad Apples' has been performed live, with the previous performances occurring in 1991, the same year the song was released.
The São Paulo concert was part of the band's massive 2026 world tour, which kicked off in Monterrey, Mexico the previous week. In addition to the rare 'Bad Apples' performance, the setlist featured several notable covers, including Black Sabbath's 'Junior's Eyes'—which the band played for the first time on their current tour.
Other covers in the hits-packed set included Bob Dylan's 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' Wings' 'Live And Let Die,' and The Damned's 'New Rose.' The performance demonstrated the band's continued ability to blend classic hits with unexpected deep cuts, much to the delight of Brazilian fans who witnessed this musical milestone.
