Loco-Motive

[kiwiguns]

I see the people leaving in the past continue to do so. The thread is about whether the band should play a song when they return to playing live on tour. Like most threads it starts off well than goes down hill  Izzys not in the band, Izzy wrote this and Slash wrote that, Frank's the drummer, Axl is out of shape etc. 

On top of that people think Axl and the band can go back in time to replicate something they did  20 years ago. That's won't happen as none of us can go back and be the same people we were 20 years ago.

It's gets boring and after thinking that's a cool thread and question to put out there, after 2 pages you give up as it's the same repetitive shit over and over again. 

How about we stick to the topic at hand. 

I am sure the current line up would pull off playing Locomotive live either via the original version or a reworked version to suit what the band chooses and feels comfortable playing.

Can you somehow substantiate your claim that Locomotive was an Izzy riff song?

Thanks. It is the "original came up with it" that interests me. As far as I know the only source for Izzy's involvement in writing Locomotive is Slash's biography. Do we have anything else?

Mates rehearsal 1989 recording has Izzy and Adler so it can be assumed they were involved in the 'writing process' but there's no real way to tell to what degree Izzy was involved. It's always seemed like Slash's 'UYI II song' IMO - on UYI I he got Coma, and Axl got Nov Rain. UYI II he got Locomotive and Axl got Estranged. Izzy got his lead-vocal songs, Duff got So Fine and Get In The Ring. Maybe Izzy was involved in the early version of Locomotive but the album version is definitely a 'Slash' song, instrumentally.

Yeah no, that's not correct at all. The only record that he had any significant input on vocals was 5 o'clock.

What? 

You can't really agree to disagree with what lyrics Slash wrote or he didn't.  You're claiming Slash wrote "75% of the lyrics for Locomotive" and "half of Coma" which no one has ever seen any proof of. Feel free to post whatever actual proof you think there might be.

If you can prove Slash wrote the majority of Locomotive's lyrics, I'll wager my LP

Shhhh I want his guitar

[Radiv123]

Does anybody know who wrote what on appetite? Everyone is listed as writers on those songs but, who wrote majorety each song? WTJ, Its so easy, etc?

[MillionsOfSpiders]

Slash himself said Axl wrote the lyrics to Coma in his book. 

[MillionsOfSpiders]

Just a quick search on this forum found an old thread with quotes from Slash’s book about Axl writing the lyrics to Coma and Locomotive - as well as Marc saying Slash wrote the music only for them
