Guns N' Roses Debut Long-Lost Tracks on Tour

0:00On March 29, Guns and Roses fired up their 2026 World Tour this Saturday in Monterey, Mexico, with a massive 26-song set at the Takade Paul Norte Festival. They dropped live debuts of two long-lost tracks, nothing in Atlas, right there in Parque Fundedora. These songs date back to the Chinese democracy era, demoed even earlier, and finally hit streaming in December 2025 to hype the tour. The band had teased nothing in a soundcheck last year in Japan, but this was the real first run-through, slotted right after perhaps, with Atlas, formerly called Atlas Shrugged. Fans lost it over the mix of classics and covers like Slyther, from Velvet Revolver, Black Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, The Dam's New, Rose, and UK subs down on the farm. But the big news was keyboardist. Melissa Reese sitting out the whole tour, for personal reasons, she'd been with them since 2016 almost. Hitting 10 years, no word yet on her replacement, but the show's energy

1:02proved GNR still got that fire without missing a beat. Next up, they're hitting South America, then back to the US and May for Florida's Hard Rock Festival, and welcome to Rockville, Europe after that, and a full North American run from July 23rd in Raleigh to September 9th in Atlanta. Tour is just getting started. Music news today, powered by AI bringing you what's trending in sound.
