How fuckin' incredible is this song?!!

I dusted off my UYI 1 CD today and have been listening to this song all day. COMA is absolute perfection (I'm surprised it's not listed on everyone's Top 10 GN'R songs). Shame there wasn't a video released. I don't recall - was there any talk of making a video for this song? I imagine some really cool visuals to accompany this otherworldly song.

(Thank you for penning this composition, Axl!)

No other combination of people could have written that song. I like the interplay between Axl's vocals and Slash's guitar leads. It's so in tune with what the other one is doing musically. The chemistry here took it to a cool place. Slash showed he was capable of writing some epic stuff when he's in the mood for it.

Kinda like what A Guns written And Justice For All with some Queen/Stones/and Zeppelin. An entire album with that direction could have been cool, but I'm not sure it's really Gn'R to include more then 1 or 2 songs like Coma in an album.

I absolutely love it. It's definitely in my top ten. To me, it's like GNR's One (from Metallica).

EDIT: In an interview Alan Niven said about it: Coma ? You put me in one. (Or something to that effect.) From that moment on, I stopped listening, because obviously the man is full of nonsense :lol:

IMO best ever live Gn'R performance....

The last three minutes is arguably the best three minutes of Guns N' Roses in my opinion.

Totally agreed. A superb live performance. Love Axl's gesture at the Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway :) Dizzy on the tambourine at the end makes teh whole clip a bit less awesome though.

I think the lyrics fit the music perfectly and I was amazed at how the song developed, because of the fact that Slash brought in the song first and Axl wrote the lyrics later. The music and lyrics go so well together, I can't imagine any other lyrics to the music and vice versa. This is just the perfect collaboration between Slash and Axl imo and, to me at least, it proves that they bring (or sadly, brought) out the best in each other musically.

It's a bit too long and meandering to get to my top 10 list, but the end starting with Slash's solo and then his Slash's circular riff behind Axl's singing and lyrics is absolute killer.

Bersides Estranged this is GNR s best work. This is music on the highest level, and makes Axl up there with Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss. AMEN

nah this is a bit over praising

Little do people know (even most GNR fans) that this song, lyrically, is about Axl's failed suicide attempt. Pretty deep stuff.

How can anyone possibly miss that?

Most people don't even KNOW he tried to off himself. It's evident by the fact that when the Nirvana vs. GNR thing gets going, a lot of Axl fans rip on Kurt for killing himself. It's always funny to remind those people that Axl tried and failed to do the same thing.

I thought this was known by the fans...

You'd be shocked. I'd wager against it, actually. In my experience (going all the way back to the Gnronline forum days of the late 90's), only the extreme die hard fans know about it.

Coma is an amazing song. Do you realize that Axl hired the real doctors who worked on him when he overdoses to say the same things they said on the Coma song?

It shows how much thought goes into making a GNR song.

I love when Axl screams " Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on". One of the best lines ever.

I think Axl brings out the best in most any musician.
