You talk as if there's no more rock music being made nowadays.

GNR = Everything that’s important in music!!!!! They were all about everything that was/and is important in life till today. GNR was an extremely important voice of the generation to explain what was important in the world news, at the time! It is extremely important that the younger generation learn from the generations before. As Motley Crue did the same, GNR took it to a whole never level. That’s why, today, their songs are still important!! But all of GNR’s music meant something important. Axel wrote all their most popular hits from things he went through as a child. Anytime they had a big hit, it was Axel who was the 1 who wrote the songs. Any breakup, f’n new hit song. Just for a brief backstory, Axel did have a VERY hard life. He was a child prodigy on the piano at the age of 3. He had sexual abuse as a very, very young child, and obviously never got over it. Would you?? That’s why all of their “greatest hits” were from Axel’s experiences as a child. In the industry, Axel was considered a diva, but no, it was from his experiences of life. Axel had a 6 octave voice (for a man, unheard of), and could play the piano and other instruments to the point of ridiculousness. Sad story, but made him a legend. Love ❤️❣️💕💓💖💘, love, love me some Axel Rose, and of course the rest of GNR (ah, Slash!!!). Slash is on the list of the TOP 5 guitarists of ALL TIME, OF ALL TIME people!!!!. Top 5 people from the 60’s until now. Think about that. That’s completely incredible and sick!! Glad you can appreciate GNR ❤️💜🧡🖤💛💚💙💔🤎!!!

I love that young people are listening to this music. GnR will always be relevant, most of their songs have a message, tbis one in particular. I'm a guitar player. Solos do have a mathematical element to them, knowing which note to start and stop on and how it coincides with the chord changes. Once you learn these roadmaps, it takes a great deal of time and hitting the wrong notes to make them sound this good. Id highly recommend reading up on Slash in your spare time, he's got a story to tell.

Being able to remember an 8 minute song note for note is quite easy if you practice the song and when playing live, Slash would not always play the exact same solo, and would improvise often and change things up.

When most musical groups and or just musicians write their music, most bands get together and create the whole ensemble together. It's a progression. The lyrics may be written already, or they come as its being composed! Either way they all come up with the way the finished product is assembled! They don't have a beat or music necessarily to just throw lyrics over the top! True musicianship is ebbing and flowing with your bandmates to create something beautiful or something that hits home like this song!

I’m so glad you heard this song. It was instrumental to Gen X and sadly still defining today.

Haven't listened to this song in years, still straight up goosebumps. Cheers for the trip down memory lane, and for the joy of seeing a young guy feeling this magic, and actually *listening* to lyrics ( I appreciate seeing such intelligent reactions to music. ) Much love, from Australia xx

I was 16 when this was released in 91, used to listen to these two albums every day. the same year my uncle was over in Iraq with the British army, tanks. I've not made that connection before now. I think this song helped form my opinion of war, I was and still am proud of my uncle but never want to see him in anything like that again.

Estranged Coma Locomotive Get in the Ring 14 years Please and thank you. No one else has done civil war that I've seen so great work on deep diving.

This is the last song that original drummer Steven Adler recorded with the band before being removed from the group due to his drug issues. The story goes, he needed like fourteen takes and then Duff (the bass player) and one of the engineers spent like an entire day in the studio to splice the drum tracks together to get one track that they could use for the song. It's a sad story how Steven got kicked out of the band and what happened to him afterwards. He was already a heavy drug user but it got worse because he was depressed after being kicked out of GnR. But if you've seen any recent videos of Steven today, he's actually one of the most humble and down-to-earth and amazing people out of the original five members. I met him at one of his band's shows a few years back and he's a great person. He's totally sober and clean today, just has a few lingering health issues from so many years of drug abuse. He's not the most technical or best or fastest drummer you'll ever hear, but his sound is so iconic (Appetite for Destruction) and his style so groovy, he plays with a nice swing in his playing. Even his band's new songs, you just know it's him playing. GnR still had some banging tracks without him behind the drums, but I would love to see him behind the kit with them again. He was that iconic sound to me.

That's what was cool about growing up in the 70's & 80's

Use your Illusion 1 & 2 were amazing albums. Loved them so much when they came out.

Guns N Roses have one helluva catalog to dive into. I could make an argument that this is their best song they ever wrote. They did a killer job on this song live.
