Re: Great Interview with Slash on UYI I and II
I'd like to know about the other "Use Your Illusion" tracks we never got to hear llike "The Majority", "The Plague" and "Nightcrawler".
The Majority is an awesome track.
I'm not a fan of the 'na na na na' part in the end, but this song has groove, strength and everything that made GN'R GN'R.

Don't Damn Me to me is a case where those who felt GN'R should featured more 'instrumentals' like Metallica, could use an example.
The song is BAD ASS sans Axl. Same thing for Get In The Ring & Shotgun Blues. Instrumentally they're fuckin' awesome.
David Fricke (one of the best rock critics ever) and I respectively disagree...original Rolling Stone review sums it up for me.
"It's all there in "Don't Damn Me," the best song on the record and a striking crystallization of Rose's - and his generation's - dilemma. "So I stepped into your world/I kicked you in the mind," Rose declares in a proud full-moon howl against fierce staccato guitars and a galloping rhythm section. "But look at what we've done/To the innocent and young/Whoa listen to who's talking/'Cause we're not the only ones/The trash collected by the eyes/And dumped into the brain/Said it tears into our conscious thoughts/You tell me who's to blame." Empowered by celebrity and his own rock & roll might, even Rose feels dazed and helpless, violently seesawing between "Don't damn me!" and "Don't hail me!" as the band explodes behind him in one last orgasmic, twin-guitar rush.
Was Use Your Illusion I worth the wait, the traumas and the onstage tantrums? Yes, if only for "Don't Damn Me" and the album's ten-minute closer, "Coma," a locomotive parable about suicide dreams and troubled resurrection. "

Had no idea that was originally a potential track for UYI, and I forgot how great a song that is too. Most of Believe In Me is a drunken babbling incoherent mess.
I'm actually surprised though that Duff hasn't busted out more tracks from BIM to play live with Loaded.

Re: Great Interview with Slash on UYI I and II
Man in the Meadow is kinda cool...slightly like The Garden. I believe West Arkeen co-wrote it as well.
Exactly. I liked Wes' psychedelic style. I miss him a lot - I think with him around, even CD would have been better.
Anyway, does anybody know why not West replaced Izzy, then Gilby?
