After an astonishing 30-year absence, Guns N’ Roses brought a long-shelved anthem roaring back to life during their recent performance in Spain. The song, known for its gritty attitude and early-day fire, hadn’t been played live by the band since 1993, making its surprise return a standout moment on their current tour.
This comeback happened at Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano in Madrid, as part of the band’s ongoing European trek. Fans were hit with a wave of nostalgia when the band launched into the song — a deep cut that had once defined their explosive early years but had since faded from their typical live shows. The reaction in the crowd said it all: shock, joy, and the kind of energy only a legendary hard rock act can conjure.
The lineup — still driven by the core force of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan — showed no signs of slowing down. With new blood behind the kit in the form of drummer John Freese, they’ve kept their set fresh and fans on their toes. Reviving such a deep track wasn’t just a nod to the past; it was a statement that nothing in the GNR catalog is ever truly off the table.
Their 2025 tour continues to dig deep, surprising even the most seasoned fans with unexpected moments like this. As they continue blazing through Europe, there’s no telling what other classics might come back from the vault. One thing’s for sure: Guns N’ Roses still knows how to keep rock dangerous, unpredictable, and very much alive.
