Post by: Mattman on November 22, 2004, 07:26:29 PM Black Sabbath- Zero the Hero Hey, is it true that Guns N' Roses borrowed heavily from the riff to "Zero The Hero" when writing "Paradise City"? The story I read was that Duff and Izzy were sitting around listening to that song, remarking on what a cool riff it was. Then they started writing "Paradise City". Hmmm... Title: Re: Your top-ten favourite riffs? Post by: ClintroN on November 22, 2004, 07:33:32 PM Fuck man, are you just out ta get Guns N' Roses n' there fans ::) Title: Re: Your top-ten favourite riffs? Post by: Walk on November 22, 2004, 08:04:58 PM I have no idea. Zero the Hero is a slow, sludgy song and Paradise City is fast. Sped up, maybe ZTH does sound a little like PC.
Who cares, both songs rock. :) Title: Re: Your top-ten favourite riffs? Post by: Izzy on November 22, 2004, 08:27:39 PM Black Sabbath- Zero the Hero Hey, is it true that Guns N' Roses borrowed heavily from the riff to "Zero The Hero" when writing "Paradise City"?? The story I read was that Duff and Izzy were sitting around listening to that song, remarking on what a cool riff it was.? Then they started writing "Paradise City".? Hmmm... Nope Th riff to Paradise City was written by Slash in days long before GNR appeared. Title: Re: Your top-ten favourite riffs?
