Give me the drumroll please………….we now have the top song by Guns N’ Roses in the 5 best songs we have featured here at My Favorite Blank. If you have missed any of the previous songs I have done from GNR, then please just go back on my blog and you can find the 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd best songs that Guns N Roses has performed.
Now there is one song that comes to mind when I first hear the words “Guns N Roses”, so I’m probably sure you have a song in your mind right now. Is it the greatest song they ever done? You can’t mistake this song for any other, because when you hear the guitar start this song off, you know right away what it is. It’s one of the most familiar guitar solo introductions that has ever been recorded in rock music. I think Dire Straight’s song Money For Nothing has one of those guitar solo introductions that is really good. This GNR song is right up there with Dire Straight’s song and is more popular due to the fact that Guns N’ Roses had more success.
I would really love to see GNR get back together but I’m not sure if we will ever see that. It seems Axl and Slash just don’t get along too good these days and probably by the time they are old and much more forgiving, they will be too old to put out anything good. Heck, I might be too old to want to listen to anything like that either!
No one could have imagined just how successful this band that formed in Los Angeles, was going to be on the rock scene. When they did arrive on the scene there was more of a glam metal that was taking to the airwaves on radio. GNR put a much grittier version of this out and the fans loved it, because they had never heard anything like their style. There was no band bigger from 1988 to 1993. These were the golden years from the greatest band ever and man did they ever put out the music in those 5 years. They just didn’t rest on the previous songs they had done, they kept the gas pedal of success press to the floor as they charged through the world in those 5 years.
Actually Axl is still a part of Guns N Roses, but he is the only one of the original members that remain. If you count his start in 1985 then you can say he’s been the lead singer for over 20 years now. However, it’s not the 20 plus years that is important here, because it was the 5 years when the band was all together and ran like a well-oiled machine that put them on top of the world. They are already the greatest band ever in my opinion, it’s unthinkable if these guys would have stayed together another 5 years, just how much control their music would have over the radio today.
So if you’re ready for the greatest song by the greatest band in the world, then I won’t make you wait any longer. Hold on, because now we will get to hear Slash take us to the start with that great guitar introduction that he does on this greatest song ever by Guns N Roses.
THE GREATEST SONG BY GUNS N ROSES EVER!!!
