We played it for a movie some years ago. The movie came out during COVID. It was a movie called Stuntman. We did this version of the song for this movie for this friend of mine who jumped over Snake River Canyon.
We’re going to play it live tonight since we’ve been dying to play it. It’s very different for us, too,” Slash said.The rest of the tour’s setlist included several tracks from the band’s upcoming album, ‘4’, fan favourites from previous Slash and Myles Kennedy albums, and Lenny Kravitz’s 1991 song ‘Always On The Run’, which was co-written by Slash.
