Sunset Gardner Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) there are many reasons i love gnr, one of my favorite things has always been their ability to write incredible intros to their songs. i'm not sure there are many bands that rival them on starting a song off right. what are your favorites LEAVING OUT the obvious three: jungle, scom, paradise city. top 3, top 5, top 10… whatever. My Top 5: 1. You Could Be Mine* 2. My Michelle* 3. It's So Easy* 4. Pretty Tied Up* 5. Rocket Queen* * with all due respect to COMA. You?

Street of Dreams love civil war, i have friends who try and argue axl and slash were trying to rip off rogers waters/the wall in the production but i think it's bullshit. great song. great intro.

Better than the final version imo RIR 2001 is definitly one of the best live versions of the song. Boston 2002 is also great.
