can't stop listenin to this shit, it's on a loop here. axl purs his out on this classic jam from the eearly 90s when music was still MUSIC from the :. NO HOLDING BACK, pure emotion SICK GUITARS. IMO better than beatles LET IT BE or PINK FLOYD (can't remember the title of that song but it was on the wall album or movie that good song with the memorable hook). has te prinz ever done a cover of a GNR song or hung out with the good lads=? I heard once in brazil they shared a stage and played kiss.



pure rock songcrafting genius.

I didn't really warm up to them 20-15 years ago but now I'm ready to buy that issue of Rolling Stone with them on the cover and go collect all their old schitt - even the ign'ant lyrics can't stop me!

My only complain rly is that gnr chose to release two use your illusion albums when they would have needed ONE. too much filler and too many slow songs this way. I have also given thought to this song selection and had grn released (like emancipaton should've been cropped to ONE disc only) the album as dual single disc, it would have been bigger than sweet jesus. mark my word, use your ilussion was a big hit, but could have been bigger if only cropped down because in 90s they had a lot of competion from PETER GABRIEL.

THE DUAL SINGLE DISC SHOULD HAVE BEEN

2.YOU COULD BE MINE
2. DON'T CRY (ORIGINAL)
3. CIVIL WAR
4. NOVEMBER RAIN
5. GET IN THE RING
6. PERFECT CRIME
7. THAT BEATLES SONG
8. BACK OFF BITCH
9. YESTERDAYS
10. ESTRANGED
11. THE GARDEN
12. MY WORLD
13: KNOCKIN ON HEAVENS DOOR
14. YOU AIN'T THE FIRST
15. SO FINE (AXL ROSE vocal)
16. PRETTY TIED UP*

IN OTHER WORDS PURE ROCK'N'ROLL MAYHEM. well the garden is sort of prog rock but you have to remember in the early 90s prog rock was still big because the 70s were not that far ago so it still had a chance to become a huge hit.

Peach out.


(*or was it locomotive)

this is probly their best original single!

I love Don't Cry! Hey,it feels weird 2 love songz that aren't Prince's!

WOED

Hey, just because it's a Guns N'(<-)Roses thread there's no reason to spell things really badly. Have some standards.

If you think dont cry is pure emotion and all that,
Check out the Aerosmith song "What It Takes" Tyler absolutly kill it and sing with nothing but emotion, and the guitar solo is such an amazing tone (played through a rotating leslie speaker for all u musicians)



Check it out: (studio video for what it takes )

This was the song that told me one of my favorite bands had sold out on the new albums and was just making crap music for the masses

wait what about that shitty Terminator 2 song they did, did that come first?

It's not the best song ever, but it's definitely my favorite song by them. It has been since I first heard it.

OK I got as far as buying the 20th anniversary of Appetite issue of Rolling Stone.

I wanna skip GNR Lies altogether although "Patience" is essential!
