Please or to post comments. Comments: 136. Dionisio from San Jose, Costa RicaThe intro you can watch and hear in the video version of the live albums, is the heaviest art expression i have seen in a rock concert. I dont know how they left it out from the cds. The same intro in the paris concert, and I guess other GNR concerts at the time.

Raw, stone cold big ballsy vulnerability, spontaneous, visceral, painful and brilliant all mixed together, to the tune of the orgasmic-alien-sounds slash rips off this abused guitar, pinned against the amp. Daniel from New Milford, NjThis song, in my opinion, pancakes and syrup. Kimberly from Landing, NjThe child is the sign of our own personality. Where our souls begin. If forgotten review your self.
Kimberly from Landing, Njthe child is the smile. The wisdom of knowledge comes. Kimberly from Landing, NjApril, yes where do we go from here?
We go in the direction of our soul, to learn along the way. April from Birmingham, AlEmmett: It wasn't somebody, it was Axl himself.
He started muttering, 'Where do we go? Where do we go NOW?' And Mike Clink suggested using that. Camille from Toronto, OhThere are some fabulous guitar solos; hard to pick the best but this one definitely is way, way up there as best intro to a song guitar solo. It is exciting to hear it, you think, 'Oh, this is what I've been waiting for!' .
Gus from Fort Smith, ArGreat band for the era they were playing in. Nobody had that sound and energy. May not have changed the course of music but definitely made a mark on it. Kathy from Mission, TxLOVE it im actually hearing this song on my Teacher's computer rite now its her fav band and song i love this band as well its a good song to listen to when skool is almost over it makes me Happy when im feeling bad. Chuckles from Toronto, OnSlash is heavily overrated, but this solo's good, among a few others. Besides that his solos and riffs all sound the same.
Axl is brilliant though, he's a very talented vocalist. Kim from Wadsworth, OhLove love love this song. Slash is next to none in my book- what a great band. Jennifer Harris from Grand Blanc, MiI like this song. Somethimes my family sings it. Luke from Saint Augustine, Flgreg u say this band is over rated and that slash isnt a good guitar play.
Yea i'd admit that he doesnt have this insane guitar solos like megadeath or iron madain but it has a very nice sound to it. It may not be some insane plucking but it goes with teh song perfectly. Greg from Slidell, Laguns n roses is ridiculously overrated.axle has a good voice but slash is definetly not as talented as many other guitar players that arent as popular.such as randy rhoads.zakk wylde.jimmy page. Emmett from Canadian, TxTo Monica in mexico, the 'Where do we go part' came from when they recorded the song in the studio, they got to that part and just kept repeating the song over and over trying to figure out what to write. Finally somebody just kinda started mumbling 'Where do we go know, where do we go?' Then everybody just kinda started chanting it and so they put it in the song.
For those who don't believe, check it out in slash's autobiography. Monica from Mexico, Mexicostill wondering at the end - 'where do we go' - whether they are in a relationship, or if he is unsure if they should/can be? Anyway LOVE THIS SONG!!
Guns n roses rock. Joey from Louisville, Kythis song was on big daddy and step brothers. Bill from Waco, Txi agree with josh.this song can never be recreated.and yes i wish slash was still in gnr cuz chinese democracy is real dumb. Niles from Belpre, Ohgotta be one of the greatest guitar solos going, being 62 yrs old I've heard a bunch.
John from Sao Paulo, BrazilSorry.strange, weird. John from Sao Paulo, BrazilIt is amazing but.I never heard this song!!!
Isn´t that strage? John-Brazil.
Steven from Shepparton, AustraliaSlash is the best rock guitarist in the buisness. Sheryl Crow version sucks. Mitch from Port Macquarie, Australiasteven wasnt sick he had a broken arm.

Ralph from Houston, TxOne of the greatest songs ever written, along with Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin), Freebird (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath), and Chop Suey (System of a Down). Josh from Indianapolis, InThis is GNR best song and i love the guitar solo but iv'e gotta say whats on everyones mind- Damn you Sheryl Crow, why did you ruin Sweet Child O' Mine. Madeleine from Caerdydd, United KingdomI love this song. The guitar solo is amazing. Jesus Of Suburbia from Frinton On Sea, AlNow who can play this on guitar I saw a band perform this at butlins bognor the whole song correctly They got an incredible standing ovation Not many bands can play it and why didn't it get to number 1 it should have done and the 3rd solo after the 3rd chorus is the greatest of all time and its very hard. Ethan from Syracuse, NyAwesome. Slash is my idol.
Phoenix from Jacksonville, FlI love this song soooooo much. I have the intro as a ringtone on my phone. Unfortunately, from what I've heard, Axl and Slash hated this song. You'd think they would love it since it's one of the most beautiful rock songs ever.
Axl1987 from Mumbai, Indiaawesome song!!! My all time favourite.
Great lyrics,n superb guitar solo by Slash he ROCKS!!! & so do GN'R. Melissa from Lorton, VaJust for the record Axl Rose HATED this song. During a concert he came out and was like 'GD those effin' managers. Those mother-effing dicks are gonna make us sing this s.tty song.
And he just kinda went into it. Tyler from Dayton, OhMother's Milk was released in '89 two years after Apetite you tool bag. Jerry from Westminster,That song is so freaking sweet I love the solo slash is my idiol. I wish I could play like him. Jake from Columbia City, InThis is one of my favorite songs ever. It has amazing guitar parts (Slash owns everybody) and great lyrics.
Brian from Vancouver, CanadaGuns N Roses is my favourite band. I dont think Ill ever find a band I like as much as them. Every time I put this song on I wanna just keep carrying on now matter how rough things get, ALSO if your a GNR fan theres a cd kicking around hardly anyones heard of by them. Its called UNWANTED ILLUSIONS and its a bunch of songs that were scrapped from the use your illusion recordings. I was lucky to snag a copy of ebay. EXPENSIVE THOUGH! Some might not like it but if your a hardcord fan you should try to get it.
AXLS BLUES IS REALLY FUNNY. Michael from San Diego, Ca'She's got eyes of the bluest skies, as if they thought of rain.I'd hate to look into those eyes, and see an ounce of pain!'
- Great lyrics, and classic guitar riffs make this one of GNR's best songs ever recorded. Bertrand from Paris, FranceAs raw and unabashed as they were, Axl Rose and his mates knew how to craft intricate and polished rock songs. The band's sound was no happy accident, and this song more than any other reveals the band at its peak collectively and individually. Never has Rose revealed his versatility as a singer more completely than through the calm verses and more fierce chorus sections of the tune. It's a tour de force of rock guitar buoyed by an unexpected lyrical sweetness.
Peter from Nyc, NyThis post is directed at Ash from Charleston, WV. I've lived in NYC and Los Angeles my entire life and you have just confirmed everthing that people from L.A.
And NYC think about people from WV. How can you possibly say that a band that was the biggest band in the world for 4 years, had a number one song, and THE BIGGEST SELLING DEBUT ALBUM IN THE HISTORY OF RECORDED MUSIC sucks? Are you kidding me?. James from Williston Park, NyThis song was in Guitar Hero 2 and is Tom Glavine's theme when walking to the mound. What a great song. Jay from West Conshohocken, Pathis song came in at number 7 on vh1 top 1oo songs from the eighties.
Echo from Normalville, MaEven if a little Creedence/aerosmith/zeppelin sounding, axl sounds awesome on this song. Echo from Normalville, MaThe bassline is great. And so's the guitar riff. And the solo. (well when is slash NOT great?). Zac from Sydney, Australiayou can tell it's a good song because of the 3 pages of praise.
Man i love this song. Joe from Panama City, Flall you mf-ers out there who think this song sucks and for the one posted htat says gnr suck well you go f.k your mom why SLASH is the best guitarist ever and axl on lyrics is just icing on the cake baby.
The first time i heard this song was on mtv and as soon as it went all I down loaded every song gnr ever made and the are the best band ever!!!!!! GNR fan forever!!!!!!!!. Yoseph from Cupertino, CaGuns n' Roses is just Roses now; Slash was the Gun!. Joseph from Canton, Gathis may be the greatest rock song of all time!
From the word to the music its perfect. Slash may be the coolest mf-er of all time. He makes me want to start smokin.lol.
Larry from Knoxville, TnSlash oringinally wrote the intro as a finger excersise, but when the other guitarist added the chords and Axl wrote the lyrics they made it into a whole song. Brittany from Oxford, Nythis song is the best song in the world.Izzy Stradin has the best guitar solo ever.you rock know what anyone says.and you will always be the best.so don't let anyone tell you different.
