I always thought he was saying "Take me down to the very nice city..." not "Take me down to the paradise city."
Is it just me? lol |

Welcome to the world from GNR, what a hell of a great intro. This band saved rock in its day. Remember, it was all a bunch of crappy hair bands, then GNR came out, kicked in their teeth, and took over the rock world. And I say, thanks a hell of lot because this is the real thing! I am 54, but when this came out I was in my early 30s and it is great great stuff. Damn good stuff!!!

...is there a reason why most of the good songs don't have lyrics?
|

Okay...Pando r a ' s lost it. It thinks this should be on my Nirvana station...G N' R is like the exact opposite of Grunge.
Still a good song though. Guess I'll have to move it... |

take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. :)

Rock on Axl? screw axl... I wouldn't care much about the band if it wasn't for Slash. His solos are flawless and add so much to the songs.

Cool song the part that confuses me the most is the P.E. teacher whistle, very odd. G n' R for life
|
||
Reminds me of a strip club in Old Bridge, NJ back in the late 80's - Bourbon Street. Great times!!!
|
||
i agree with verbal regarding kicking axl in the f**kin nads (but autograph first). this songs cool, but i dont always like listening to it tho ... i think its because i watched that stupid movie where the idiot guy tried to be cool by singing this song, so now i picture that when i hear it. AHHHHHHHHH
|

This song used to be just awesome.
Now it's awesome and reminds me of Burnout. Which isn't a bad memory, if I may say so. |
||
take me down to the paradise city wher the grass is green and the girls r pretty
|
||
guns & roses is a great band. i think almost all there work is fantastic,if not everyone then deffinitly this song. this song is a masterpiece
|
||
Axl may be a prick but give him some credit! He can write songs like crazy. Slash isn't the one who arranges everything, it's Axl.
|
||
what a waste Axl was. I get tired of hearing bands say we had it so hard. eating bread sandwiches with no money as teens getting started, then have it all. Then quit making music. He tore up a great band.

Appetite For Destruction was one of GNR best album. So hurry up with the new album
