Watch: Guns N’ Roses perform new song ‘Perhaps’ live for first time

Guns N' Roses performed new song 'Perhaps' live for the first time at the weekend.

The legendary rockers gave the song its official release on Friday and played it the same night during their show at Pittsburgh's PNC Park.

"Forgive me if I don't run around and try to project as much because I'm gonna try to figure out how to f---ing sing it live," frontman Axl Rose told the audience.

"And I like to think of when we wrote this song, it was like the immaculate inception."

The performance was caught on fan-filmed video, which you can see below.

A press release said the song was “written and recorded by Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan this year,” and marks the band’s “first collective new composition and recording together in 30 years since 1993’s The Spaghetti Incident?”

A demo version had long been circulated online, however, and the song stems back to the Rose-led ‘Chinese Democracy’ era of the band.

It is the third reworked song to be released that dates back to the ‘Chinese Democracy’ sessions, following the 2021 release of ‘Hard Skool’ and 'Absurd'.

Another new song, ‘The General’, is due to make an appearance as the B-side to the vinyl single version of ‘Perhaps’, which is due out on 26 October.

Pre-orders of the single have currently sold out and there’s no news yet on when ‘The General’ might hit streaming sites.

You can hear Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan on-air on our sister station Planet Rock every Saturday night from 7pm.
