Breakdown is freaking awesome. Breakdown, Locomotive, Coma... Like 3 epic Slash/Axl songs where they both shine... Great lyrics.

Breakdown is awesome!
Anybody else notice that Axl has sorta like a...don't know excactly how to describe it... sorta like a liquid-hairball-buble at the back of his throat when he sings the word "fire" in the first verse?

The Banjo in the begining of Breakdown is badass as well....
I always think of the UYI Tokyo videos, when they are setting up the stage, etc... Damn good song.

"Everything was roses when we held on to the guns."
Yes, yes they were.
Heard that line this morning as I was getting ready for work playing the song... Wow, almost creepy how true it is.... He needs to get the guns back.

Slash and Izzy at their finest
Damn, forgot about that song, those albums are fucking awesome.... Don't Damn Me has such much passion and anger, another gem.

OIAM also has some prophectic lyrics .... maybe, been on a LIES kick lately and OIAM for me is the consumate GnR tune...i know it gets flack for some of its content, but biographically i think it represents Axl's origins pretty well...also, being from a small town myself and later moving to a large city i relate to the song.
the emotion in OIAM, from lyrics to the instruments is amazing....maybe it was from the tension of the lyrical content, but regardless you can tell the emotions from each guy fed off the other...
anyway prophetic lyrics
Guess I needed
Sometime to get away
I needed some peace of mind
Some peace of mind that'll stay
You're one in a million
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You are a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much to high
Well some say I'm lazy
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I,
I keep on movin' along
Radicals and racists
Don't point your finger at me
I'm a small town white boy
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need your religion
Don't watch that much TV
Just makin' my livin', baby,
Well that's enough for me
