Personally I think Locomotive is up there with Achilles Last Stand or Funeral For A Friend as one of the all time great epics but they don't pull it out too much.
I agree that Locomotive is in that category, though I am of the opinion that Achilles' Last Stand from Presence is both Zeppelin's and Jimmy Page's and Bonzo's finest moment(s), so, initially, the reference gave me pause. Still, I like Dan's reference and it makes me want to pull out my old GNR UYI II and spin it.

That’s my plan of attack, I’ll pick tickets up the day of or days before the gig.
I’ve seen them enough to not care where I am in the stadium. Axl’s voice is not worth more than $100 right now.

I’d like to catch P!nk. Think she’d be a good show but no one wants to go and I just don’t feel like going alone to that one.

only GnR could have written Estranged.
Slash's finest hour? The melody lines he brought to Axl's chords are simply exquisite. He really grew between AFD and UYI and he brought so much to the 1991 sessions that it was natural that he took control of the band.
As much as I like Izzy his imput on the UYI albums was minimal.

She killed on Barracuda with Nancy Wilson at the Taylor Hawkins tribute. Unfortunately the show here is at SoFi but maybe Vegas.

Izzy is all over the Illusion albums, the proof is always in the live shows.
I saw the 4th show of the Use your Illusion tour and it was in-fckng-sane.
The albums hadn’t been released yet and they were playing a load of songs from them.
It almost felt like we we were getting away with something, hearing this music before anyone else.
Everyone had a bootleg of November Rain and the crowd laughed when Axl said “we’re gonna play this, I know you mthrfckrs have been listening to it for two years.”
Izzy did Dust and Bones and I was thinking this guy is Keith 2.0, he’s got the look and the vibe but the cat isn’t a poser, he’s the real deal.he was singing with Axl and playing his ass off.one of the best singer-songwriter guitar players I’ve ever seen.
Not knowing the songs was funny everyone was saying “ that one song was Dylan for sure, what was -she’s really tied up, hangin around”
Estranged was beyond belief, an outdoor show hearing that guitar just singing in the night.I could go on and on.
Put it this way, I won’t say they were as good as when I saw Zep at MSG but it was on that level.

That was a real peak time to see them you’re a lucky man!
Izzy was the soul of that band. He wrote/co-wrote 8 of the 16 songs on UYI 1 & 4 of the 13 songs on UYI 2. That’s more than minimal for sure. He was the coolest of them all back then.

I was at the riot show in St. Louis. Great half show, was p!ssed it ended.
Even better was when I saw them earlier open for Aerosmith after welcome to the Jungle came out.

Anyone here on a Guns n’ Roses forum? Considering the fact that Chinese Democracy finally came out in 2008, they should have a new album thread too, somewhere in the area of 15 years and counting.
They’ve been working on a new album and the first single should be coming out really soon. From what I’ve read, the material is pretty damn good….in the vein of Appetite.
15 years and counting......wow...just hope they don't hit a wall!!!
Looking forward to hearing what they've come up with after all these years...both Guns n’ Roses and the Stones!
Hard to believe it's been 34 years since I saw them open for the Stones at the LA Coliseum way back in 1989...
They don't need a wall. They have Axl.
… and his voice is severely damaged

Three albums? They have six studio albums.

1. That they are all still alive.
2. That Axl and Slash actually patched things up and got over their feud which I truly thought was beyond repair at this point.
3. That they still play @#$%& stadiums without having any real new music out or anything of relevance in 30 years.
4. That they actually play Chinese Democracy songs live.
5. That Axl can still sing that shit, however bad it is, at over 60 years old.
Nostalgia at its finest, or truly the fact that they were so good that they only made 3 albums and still have drawing power. The fact that I've seen them 10 times on this reunion tour makes no sense, but can't help but love em and the fact that I don't think they should even still be around, so I'll embrace them while they are.

I saw them just three times and only this year. I've never been a real GnR fan but I was quite impressed how good they are as a live band. Axl's voice is surely damaged or even destroyed. You can hear and see him struggling and suffering (especially when 'singing' November Rain – I always got the impression that he doesn't want to sing that song and that he's glad when it's over). Anybody how goes to a GnR show to see Axl Rose is going to be disappointed. But anyone who comes for Slash will be impressed

That's why it is in my opinion waaaay better to see Slash solo. Plus you get to hear Myles Kennedy, who really has a voice.

right but not if you want to hear GnR songs… I saw Slash once with Myles Kennedy and it was great.
