Perfect Crime, the unreleased Guns N' Roses documentary filmed during the band's Use Your Illusion tour between 1991 and 1993, has been leaked online.
The film, which has long been considered a holy grail among Guns N' Roses fans, has appeared online as a 38-minute rough cut, having remained unseen since it was originally completed – reportedly 90 minutes long – in 1994. It documents one of rock's most famously chaotic tours, and features behind-the-scenes material and previously unseen live footage.
The version leaked online includes footage of aftershow parties with waiters dressed as Roman legionaries, fans in various states of undress, a pig served on a platter and lederhosen-clad dancers, plus Axl Rose receiving treatment from an osteopath on an airport taxiway.
Also included are interviews, footage of Izzy Stradlin and Slash jamming in a hotel room, Rose singing The Skyliners' Since I Don't Have You in the studio, Duff McKagan being stretchered offstage after being hit in the head by a bottle, and live performances of two complete live songs filmed at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in October 1992.
"This is what I always wanted to do," says Axl, interviewed as Guns N' Roses played Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand, in February 1992. "I always knew it was going to happen. I never gave up hope. We've seen so many cats come and go in Hollywood that gave up. And it's hard. It's very difficult."
"We all know each other, and we've known each other for so long, it's hard for us to sit back and go, 'Hey! We're in the biggest rock band in the world!'" he continues. "It's not like that. We're still us, and we've got more albums to make, and we've got more shows to do."
Guns N' Roses are just about to begin the European leg of their 2026 tour, with dates in the US, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand to follow. Full dates below.
