saber_ Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Perhaps it's more of an homage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padme Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 That song was written mostly by Izzy and Slash. So we should ask them I guess. And remember these wise words "Before internet piracy there was Izzy Stradlin" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Perhaps it's more of an homage. That's what I always figured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Geddy Lee was trying to sound like Robert Plant in the early days.Always loved the line" Because worryin is a waste of my fuckin time". I wish I could live by those words, but it's not the case with me. Worrying can be my middle name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised he owns a Mickey Mouse shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinseyHolley Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Whatever you think are the best GnR songs lyrically, you may safely assume they were written by Izzy. Axl didn't have/doesn't have the humor, sarcasm, subtlety.There is none cooler than Izzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
