Guns N’ Roses were heard soundchecking a previously unreleased song ahead of their recent show in Tel Aviv. Check out audio from the rehearsal below.The rock veterans have been rolling out new versions of their previously unreleased songs during recent live shows.

Now, thanks to eagle-eyed fans in Israel, it appears that another unreleased track from their ‘Chinese Democracy’ Era may be making an appearance at upcoming shows.This comes after fans waiting to see the band perform in Tel Aviv on Monday night (June 5) overheard the band soundchecking what appears to be the previously-shelved song ‘Perhaps’ — written around the time of their sixth studio album.Fans standing around the Park HaYarkon venue were quick to bring out their phones and record the moment they heard the band sound-checking the track.

Check out snippets of the audio below.Ultimately, the song was not performed at the show in Tel Aviv. It is worth noting, however, that a similar process happened with another previously unreleased single, ‘Hard Skool’.Also taken from the impressively long writing and recording process for ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008), the song was heard being rehearsed during soundchecks, shortly before the band added it to their setlist and officially released it as a single.This happened also with the track ‘ABSURD’, which was written during the ‘Use Your Illusion’-era and later shelved.

The song, like ‘Hard Skool’, was also heard being soundchecked at a show before being embedded in the setlist and released at a later date.Both of these tracks were performed live at the show in Tel Aviv, as well as a selection of the band’s most popular hits, including ‘November Rain’, ‘Paradise City’, ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ and ‘Welcome To the Jungle’..
