Guns N’ Roses Perform Reckless Life For First Time In 29 Years

by Paul Cashmere on June 7, 2022

in News

Guns N’ Roses fans in Portugal this week were treated to a rarity. ‘Reckless Life’, last played 15 April 1993, was in the setlist.

‘Reckless Life’, from 1988’s ‘G N’ R Lies’, was an even older song from Rose from his former Hollywood Rose days.

The Portugal show was the first Guns N’ Roses show of 2022 so it may also give Australia a hint as to what to expect later in the year. There was a second Hollywood Rose song ‘Shadow of your Love’. That surfaced a number of times in 2021. The two new songs ‘Absurd’ and Hard Skool’ are still here.

Guns N’ Roses also performed AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’ album track ‘Walk All Over You’ which was last played live by AC/DC in France on 15 December 1979.
