MEXzilla Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's one of those songs were you just know that no one could write/perform a song like that, it's just a great song. Also for those mentioning Metallica, I say to you this, they wish they could write or even sound as good as Coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 For me, discovering this song was one of the great gems of becoming a GNR fan. The classics are great, but going through the illusion albums and hearing this for the first time is amazing! It's shocking that they wrote the song and pulled it off. I'm glad a live performance surfaced, the song is underrated in the sense that you don't associate this song with the band. For most this song doesn't exist. It's one of my favorite to turn the bass up on and listen to in the car. It's just a great rock song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosonen Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Masterpiece, its incredible. While at the same time its so complex, its actually really simple, catchy, almost like a ballad while being heavy as hell. My favourite GN'R song yes. I want this to be played at my funeral.

War2k14 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It's kind of like their Metallica moment. Could GNR have covered Metallicas One and pulled it off?I suppose as long as bumble not dj handles the solos and Axl uses his patience then cd title track voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcountry Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Slash did not write the whole song.He laid down structure of the guitar work and Axl done all the lyrics.It was one of those times that they both brought out the best in each other much like estranged NR SCOM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 This somg is just Slash did not write the whole song.He laid down structure of the guitar work and Axl done all the lyrics.It was one of those times that they both brought out the best in each other much like estranged NR SCOM.Yep this somg just proves how much musical genious there was between Axl and Slash and heir unparalleled chemistry on stage...

Slash came up with the initial idea and direction of it. It's a Slash song just like November Rain is an Axl song. Even if the musical input of both to the other one's songs made it 10 times better. Especially Slash with his November Rain and Estranged guitar work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Slash with his November Rain and Estranged guitar work.Agreed with Rovim. I certainly don't want to minimize Axl's input, because as I said, I think the lyrics fit the music perfectly, and this is a perfect example of them bringing out the absolue best in each other. But Axl himself said at the time Coma was Slash's baby (as Estranged was his, not minimizing Slash's contribution to that one either). Slash brought it in and it was called Girth, and it was like 12 minutes long. Axl passed out while working on the lyrics, that's how heavy it was apparently (don't really know how that goes but then I'm not a songwriter).

WFA Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I love the Live Era versionhttp://www.4shared.com/mp3/VPMjQyX0/12_Coma.htmOne of GNRs best for sure.Axl gave the song to KNAC for free as a thank you, and who (KNAC) had it up for free download on their website for a long time. I have an OK from a mod to post a link to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano09 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The last three minutes is arguably the best three minutes of Guns N' Roses in my opinion.I think I've said it before but I was just going to post the same thing - the last 3 minutes of Coma are my favourite of GNR's entire catalog. The lyrics are outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Coma is a GN'R spectacle; excellent guitar tracks, phenomenal lyrics--the song is perfect/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited (because coma kicks ass) so I didn't mind and then once it hit the 4 minute mark all I can see is Axl's junk all up in the screen.I went back and tried again, same thing. I had to quit watching.The mix on that performance is amazing. When their sound was right, it was amazing.
