Guns N’ Roses Debut New Cover, Bring Back Classics in Abu Dhabi

Guns N’ Roses delivered a cover version they’d never played live before during their 31-song show at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi Tuesday night.

The band performed the New York Dolls’ “Human Being” – which appears on GNR’s 1993 covers album “The Spaghetti Incident?” – towards the end of the concert, which by then had already contained the tour debuts of Misfits’ “Attitude” – sung by Duff McKagan – and the Live Like a Suicide track “Reckless Life.”

Later, Axl Rose and company presented the tour debut of 2023’s “The General” before playing the G N’ R Lies track “Used to Love Her” for the first time since 2018. Videos of those two tracks, plus “Human Being,” can be seen below, along with the full set list.
