    @mariner4life I bought the Use Your Illusions, listened to them twice and gave them to a mate. Appetite is a Top 10 of all time though. I've got one from Use Your Illusion as it's a Paul McCartney song in my top 10 but that's it.

    Rocket Queen top? Good track but...

    Loved the bit in Slash's book about how they just recorded Axl fucking his vocal missus and laid it on the track.

    Live and Let Die for me is a big part of the bloated, over-produced garbage that is Illusion. Just my opinion though.

    Gunners are terrible at covers. They just shouldn't bother with them. They even made "Knocking on Heavens Door" worse than the original which is quite some feat.

    I chose this latter track as my opportunity to have a piss during the concert at the Stadium.

    Yeah, Rocket Queen is up there as one of my favs too.

    Paradise City is tops though. When ever I hear that come on the radio, I've got a 'air' whistle, air guitar and vocals all on the go. Love it love it love it loud

    Indeed. Absolute banger. There’s a reason they play it last at the concerts.

    I'm not quite on the same path for the Illusions as others. I enjoyed them, and still occasionally do. Yes, agree they were rather bloated, but I still think they sound reasonably fresh today. Top gunners tracks for me ...

    Welcome To the Jungle
    Night Train
    Mr Brownstone
    Paradise
    One In a Million
    Patience
    Estranged
    Bad Apples
    You Could Be Mine

    Obviously Appetite is the gold standard, but there's some underrated tracks on the Illusions discs. Pretty Tied Up is always a good time.

    The opening part with the bassline and then all the other instruments coming in before Axl starts singing is great. Always felt the song was a bit of a let down after that tho.

    They were from Chicago, but they weren’t Chicago. They wrote & recorded the best Blood Sweat & Tears song that the Al Kooper-less BS&T never did. Great song, almost fifty years old, gets better with age.

    Still got it. With Puddles Pity Party who if you haven't heard him has some great covers
