      Live in Paris 92 is the best version I've seen (personally). Slash was 27ish at the time. but he was so wasted at that concert he looked like he was in his 50s but still killed it on guitar, when most of us wouldn't of been able to stand upright let alone playing bangin guitar for two hours

    Axl Rose, for all of his many personality issues and lifestyle problems, had an INCREDIBLE vocal range, with more than 5 octaves including his growl and falsetto.
    Killer rhythm section (Steven, Duff, and Izzy), Slash on lead, and Axl's voice... They were a hard rocking band that could also nail ballads.
    They were a transition from Glam/Hair/Metal Rock bands that moved into Grunge.
    And, Axl's voice was a HUGE influence on the Grunge singers, from Cobain to Vedder...

    Axl is very misunderstood by most people. Yes, he had his mental & emotional demons, but "crazy" didn't break up the band. Izzy left once he got clean, and couldn't be around the excess, but joined Axl's new GN'R on-stage frequently throughout the early 2000's in Japan and South America; no bad blood, ever. Duff & Slash ultimately quit due to Axl wanting control over the brand, which would have made them GN'R employees rather than equal members. Most fans and critics cite this as an ego power move by Axl, but he was just ensuring the future of GN'R as Duff & Slash struggled w/ alcohol and substance abuse; they were easily headed down the same road as Steven Adler, the original drummer. Axl never actually had an addiction problem. Similarly, Bon Jovi has always been marketed and presented as an ensemble band, however, since day one, all members have always been contractual hired musicians of Jon Bon Jovi. Axl was just being a businessman cause the rest of the band couldn't keep their shit together. I love all of 'em and don't mean to trash them, I just feel Axl gets wrongfully criticized.

This led to Axl taking control of th name GnR & their catalog of music, & immediately led to a lawsuit between them & Axl. I'm sure they won b/c I don't think a contract is binding if th signee is under th influence of drugs/alcohol

    I soooo badly want you two to listen to Skid Row's Wasted Time. It's about the original drummer, Steven Adler, from GnR. I know Brad needs lyrics. If there is any way you could watch video and see lyrics PLEASE try to. The passion coming from Sebastian Bach's vocals are primal. Raw. That same passion is shown on his face in the video. The vocals are hands down Bach's best. There's a big connection between the two bands, you can feel it in this song.

    I always thought of the aftermath of war when it came to this song. Like Brad said, the mental state of the soldiers and the regret they had for doing the things they did to a fellow human being, justified or not. IIRC, the phone call in the middle was from GNR's manager...? and it was to Axl in reference to him walking out on the band during a practice. I think they had a friend of the producer re-enact it for the song and music video. He was basically telling Axl to get his life sorted before he loses the band and career.

Sucks that GNR was priming all over the world and then boom, they split as we knew them. These great bands always have these inner circle arguments of ego. My dad claims Yoko Ono was the main reason the Beatles split but I think she just fed fuel to the fire that John wasn't getting his just do's and maybe he didn't need these guys or some stuff but IDK for sure.

    I liked a few GnR tunes back in their early days, but could never escape the thought that Axl sounds like he's singing through a kazoo. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

    Just saw GnR live in Vegas back in August at the Raiders stadium. Amazing show even if that stadium is one of the worst places acoustically to have a concert (the shape of the dome roof makes it almost impossible to not have the vocals echo) Slash is a beast on the guitar, def one of, if not the best guitarist I've seen live, and I've seen a lot considering I'm a stagehand and running spotlights is part of my job.

    “Nocking” is a term for a technique used by heroine addicts that don’t have needles. It involved cutting into a vein and manually pushing heroine into the vein out of sheer desperation to get high. This term is used in a couple of their songs.

    The song is original from Bob Dylan and it was written for the movie "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid" The story goes that Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid use to be best friends but later on in life Billy became a gangster and Pat was a sheriff, so eventually Pat was forced to shot down Billy and that"s why he"s saying that he don"t wanna use the badge and shot people anymore!

    summer 1992: GNR and Metallica tour together San Diego sports arena, I score front row tickets. One of the musical highlights of my young life at the time. Of course Dylan gave them a template for this one and they made something special for their version

    The opening octaves layer is xclt setup. The guitar (Les Paul!!) is like a siren sea call pulling a soul string, but the bkgrd echo is the ghost of past others saying GoForIt. Who else rocks slow slow guitar w/pounditout beat, then choir-like backup. I like it more than Bob Dylan's orig. Dylan's dying gunslinger sheriff is lonely folk song, but this is more resolved he made peace and is up/ready for beinb heavenbound.

    More than anything, the song honors a fallen police officer killed in the line of duty.
    "momma take this badge from me, I can't use it anymore" then "momma put my guns in the ground, I can't shoot them anymore"
