      I think, in no particular order, the most under-rated Guns tunes are: Locomotive, Reckless Life, Breakdown, Out Ta Get Me, Don't Cry-alt lyrics, Dead Horse, Right Next Door, You're Crazy - acoustic, Yesterdays,.......... Could go on, so many under-rated GNR songs... Miss 'em so much!

    People honestly don’t know how complex and difficult this song is to play. This song is definitely one of the few examples that represents how much of a guitar legend and excellent songwriter Slash is. If your gonna learn how to play this whole entire thing, just be prepared to spend a crap ton of time practicing when u finally finish learning this whole masterpiece lmao.

      This was a great song that really broke in my wrist playability, and I still can'tget through the 2nd verse. This song definitely doesn't get enough recognition. Probably because it's so difficult. 😂😂😂

    • @vl292

      If you strip the vocals, it’s really not a masterpiece anymore. Without vox it would be something forgettable from Slash’s Snakepit or later solo material..

    This is a brilliant cover. Accuracy on point. Really enjoyed the Complicity section. Just saw a ‘Locomotive’ UA-cam cover more focused on playing dress-up & slash spin moves than finesse and getting the licks right. This is the definitive Locomotive cover. Kudos!

Super down to earth and mellow. Said he checked out half our set and dug our sound. I couldve died then and there and been ok with it lol
