I remember, back in 1992, I got Use Your Illusion II on CD after my friend at school would bring it in on his Walkman to listen to. I recall the first time I heard Locomotive thinking that I'd never heard such a static sounding riff in rock music before. UYIII is my favourite GnR album, with Appetite coming a respectable second place.
The riff from locomotive is my favourite piece of guitar ever, it's absolutely beautiful, just chunky and relentless but rhythmic too.
Though I have to rate appetite as their best album, had they cut out the cover versions, left off the Axl wank fests and allowed no song to be over 5 mins long then they could have made UYI a single album of 12 or so tracks to rival appetite.

Just taking a break at 24 mins in. Funny they refer to Slash as "him" without saying his name!
Absolutely love Slash's playing. I really do. Appeals to me MUCH more than anything a lot of the "wizards" do.

Honestly, what a guy. I'm being serious.

However this video and that gig video (which I've seen before and is excellent)... started to ignite something in me again. I've not touched the guitar since she passed away but I've had nothing to do (just feel hollow and don't know what to do with myself) and I remember how much having something like the guitar meant to me. Something nobody else can touch. Nothing to do with earning money. Just playing for yourself, igniting a passion - love it. Hopefully get more into it. Will watch the rest of the gear video later!

I think one record that included
Civil War
You could be mine
Locomotive
Estranged (shortened)
Coma (shortened)
November rain (shortened)
Don't Cry (just one version)
Breakdown (without the dumb speach and screeching that hides the awesome guitar solo behind it)
Get in ring (just for the opening solo)
Double talking Jive
It could have been a great album.
