Guns N’ Roses performed the song “Black Leather” from their 1993 covers album “The Spaghetti Incident?” for the first time ever in concert on Saturday night at Arena Castelão in Fortaleza, Brazil.
“Black Leather” is a song that was written by Sex Pistols members Steve Jones and Paul Cook, and given to The Runaways for their 1978 album And Now… The Runaways.

A version featuring Jones on vocals and Cook on drums was issued as part Sex Pistols best-of collection in late 1979, and also in 1980 as a single paired with the song “Here We Go Again.” The track was recorded following singer Johnny Rotten’s departure from the band in early 1978, and released after the Pistols had broken up entirely.
