Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: FlashFlood on February 27, 2006, 08:43:05 PM id be willing to bet slash
Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: faldor on February 27, 2006, 08:46:11 PM I've never heard of a cover of the song. Those last 4 songs on UYI 1 kick ass. Great, underrated songs. Don't Damn Me, Bad Apples, Dead Horse, and Coma. One of my favorite sequences on any album.
Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: FlashFlood on February 27, 2006, 08:47:32 PM i would include all songs after november rain in that category
Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: faldor on February 27, 2006, 08:52:16 PM That is true. November Rain, The Garden, and Garden of Eden. Let's put it this way. I bought the tape originally, before I changed over to CD's and the 2nd side of the tape started off with NR. That was one damn fine 2nd side.

Don't you love it how Slash can sound so dirty and sloppy, yet it all flows so well together? That's what I love about his playing. Anyway, I don't know of any covers, but I worked out how to play the riff to the song a few years ago, and play it every now and again. Fun riff to play that's for sure :beer: Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: oldgunsfan on February 27, 2006, 10:24:41 PM Written by: "Don't Damn Me" was written by Axl, Dave Lank and Slash. The lyrics were written by Axl, while the music was written by Slash. Dave Lank's contribution is unknown.
Written in: "Don't Damn Me" was written in or before 1989. Performed live: "Don't Damn Me" was never played live. In Their Own Words: Slash: I love that song. That's one of those songs I introduced to the band that was already complete source http://www.gnrinfo.tk/ ? Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: metallex78 on February 27, 2006, 10:26:21 PM Slash: I love that song. That's one of those songs I introduced to the band that was already complete And wouldn't we like to hear more killer riffs like that from you Slash, hell yeah! : ok: Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: Smoking Guns on February 27, 2006, 10:32:30 PM That song really, really rocks. It has an impressive solo and is played fast for Slash standards. Good stuff. Great Vox by Axl too!
Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: ShotgunBlues1978 on February 27, 2006, 10:35:57 PM Wonder why they never played it live
Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: GnR1988 on February 27, 2006, 10:39:00 PM Im probably wrong but I thought Paul Tobias (Huge) co-wrote it, or at least got some credit for the song. I swear I read that a few years ago...it might be another song but Im not sure

Post by: GnR1988 on February 27, 2006, 11:14:30 PM My Bad then guys...I knew I was wrong but thought it was worth a mention, thanks for the clarification
Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: Eclipsed107 on February 28, 2006, 02:55:23 AM DDM is my favorite Gn'R song (probably behind SCOM but...), everything in it is perfect. Plus putting it right after Garden of Eden (another favorite) and a couple songs before Coma (another favorite) makes the end of UYI1 such a great part.
If it weren't for Bad Apples, You Ain't the First, and Live and Let Die Use Your Illusion 1 would be my favorite Gn'R album. Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me?

I don't know what. Of course not. There is no song that'd need some Dizzy Reed piano works. :no: Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me?

Well Axl plays piano on Estranged on the album not Dizzy :hihi: Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: badapple81 on February 28, 2006, 04:16:46 AM Oh I thought Dizzy played them, my mistake? : ok: Well coming to think of it I did remember, just a late night at work brain freeze :hihi:

To tell the truth I think the vocal melodies could have been better. :-X Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me? Post by: DeadHorse on February 28, 2006, 09:39:57 AM Speaking of Dave Lank, wasn't he and Paula Huges suppose to start a project together?
I remember reading this somewhere but never heard if anything materialized afterwards. Title: Re: who wrote the main riff for don't damn me?
