Slash recently performed "Don't Damn Me" live for the first time ever, and oddly enough, it wasn't even during a Guns N' Roses show. The guitarist gave the Use Your Illusion deep cut its live debut during a Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators concert.

Slash explained why GNR's never played the song live in a 2014 interview when asked if he'd ever play it with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators. "There’s just too many words," he admitted at the time. "You know, it’s a cool song and everything. I think even [with] Axl [Rose], we never did it because it was just too many words without a breath, and it just makes it really impossible to do it live."

Slash will be on tour with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators for the next few months, playing across South America, Australia, Asia, and Europe. See a full list of tour dates here and watch fan-shot footage of the performance below.

Last month, GN'R shared a previously unreleased song called "The General" that was recorded during their Chinese Democracy sessions. It's the b-side to their single "Perhaps," which was released in August and was also written while they were making that album 16 years ago.
