abw1987 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) I figured this'd be posted by now, but I can't find it anywhere, so here goes. I just got November issue of Guitar One magazine and it has a page on the Top 10 Greatest Rock N' Roll Song Endings. They are as follows:10. Edgar Winter - "Frankenstein"9. REO Speedwagon - "Roll With the Changes"8. Prince - "Let's Go Crazy"7. King Crimson - "21st Century Man"6. David Lee Roth - "Shy Boy"5. Guns N' Roses - "Paradise City"4. Blotto - "Metal Head"3. Van Halen - "Hot For Teacher"2. AC/DC - "Highway to Hell"1. The Who - "Won't Get Fooled Again"Thought that was pretty cool. Guess it makes sense that GNR always ends their sets with PC. 5th best rock ending of all time... they'd better end that way!! HahEdit:Oh and I know this was posted before but there's also a "101 best guitar solos" list -- November Rain is 14th, "Sweet Child O' Mine" is #33.

moreblack Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 PC is definitely deserving to be on the list of best outros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 There are better GNR song endings than PC, in my opinion. But I can see why its up there, that final jam is just awsome and in the confusion Slash plays the fastest he ever does in a song, and it sounds pretty cool. Paradise City isnt an aquired taste like Rocket Queen, Coma, or Locamotive so its understandable as to how it beat out songs like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nollsiesays Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Rocket Queen and November Rain kick Paradise City's arse in terms of outros. Rocket Queen especially.Abso-fucking-lutely. Rocket Queen has BY FAR the best ending of any song, let alone any GNR song. It gets me more fired up than any other, plus you just want to sing to it. Real nice. rock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) If it's closing a show, then yeah, PC wins hands down. But the best outros are on Rocket Queen/NR Edited September 14, 2006 by Slash's Appetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 If it's closing a show, then yeah, PC wins hands down.

GNRfan2008 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 That list sucks. Where the heck is Zeppelin? "Stairway To Heaven" has the best ending of any rock song ever recorded in my opinion, not to mention countless other songs by them with great endings.

LA_0013 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 There are so many GNR songs with great endings:November Rain, Coma, Think About You, Locomotive to name a few.But Paradice City is a great choice. . . rock2 LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the best outros are on Rocket Queen/NRnah, both those are "love" songs...None of the other choices are, so PC is a good choice.They're still rock songs. Ok. November Rain is a ballad, so I'll let you have that, but ROCKET QUEEN? Man, that song is rock all over. It's only the last few lines that turn into a real love song, and even then it retains the hard rock sound, it's one bad ass rock song.Love song or not, it pisses all over PC.

abw1987 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 I agree there are a few songs with better outros ("Rocket Queen" ftw!!), but Paradise City is probably the most badass, high-energy, well-known song with a kickass endingThe PC outro is shit.That song would've ruled if it was shorter.wowretarded at all???

G'n'R = GoDs Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 IMO Double Talkin Jive is up there with GREAT guitar outros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORDIE Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Nightrain has by far the best guitar driven outro of their songs. The way it fades out in the middle of that great solo, priceless!People sayin Rocket Queen and Coma have to be on about Axl's performance, which would be right, as they are some of his best moments, but, the guitar parts in the outros of those 2 tracks aren't that memorable!!

moreblack Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The solo makes that outro (PC), I mean, there's a reason that solo got into the too 3 of Total Guitar's best rock solos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBear Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well, Rocket Queen is probably my favourite song, so you know where I'd rank it. I think the ending of Estranged is also amazing, from the last Slash solo on. Patience is another one, I'd rank it among the best ever outros. Oh yeah, and Breakdown too. Erm, okay, maybe not that one! One non-GN'R song that comes to mind is Time, by Pink Floyd. I loooooooooooove the ending on that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinckFortus Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The PC outro is shit.That song would've ruled if it was shorter.The PC outro has more energy than anything else live / studio. To shorten the song would have been lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
