Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I was searching the message board if anyone had made a topic about this but couldn't find.
Anyway the thing is that the best band that had excellent outros is GNR, from songs like november rain, locomotive, rocket queen, double talking jive the outros seem to have that special touch of yearning of hear the song over and over again.
Do you think that the new record will have this kinda of outros?

Yeah! The best outro i ever heard is the one on Coma! Axl sings so fucking great there!
I hope there are alot of heavy outros on the new record.

More recently, I think that "the blues" outro is great.

Good topic! I love the Locomotive and Nightrain outros. Something about a fade out i love.


Maddie has got the best of the new bunch i think, with Axl and Robin overlapping lines.

Yeah nightrain is superb!! that solo is so mindblowing it kinda makes me wanna fly  :confused:

Locomotive just has that something special at the end, could listen to it all day!

Coma, One in a Million and Rocket Queen all have killer endings : ok:

Rocket Queen and Locomotive outros are in the same level as Stairway to Heaven's one IMO! :headbanger:

I agree totally,  Locamotive being a favorite, RQ, November rain is up there, and patience is also cool.
I think its's the creativity that axl brings to his music.
I really hope "the new album" see's the light of day.

Locomotive or Coma - even if i wouldnt call that last minute an outro, it's pretty much a part of the song -

Yeah definitely!? Everytime I hear RQ's outro I think of Chuck Klosterman's book about rock n roll and how he calls that outro "the best 2 minutes of rock ever created" or something like that.? Can't remember the exact quote or even the title of his book.?

As to the big three new songs; Love the Blues outro, Maddy's is pretty cool, but not a big fan of CD's outro (although it could have been changed 19 times by now).

i agree :)

can't really put it into words to describe it, its just'special' like you said

I love Its So Easy's outro.. and Mr. Brownstone's outro. They both have the same thing going.. the quick change of tempo.. cool stuff.

And Rocket Queen's outro is just amazing. To say that it was the best 2 min of rock 'n roll is certainly not out of the question. I remember the first time I heard it.. thought the song was about to end.. and BAM! Freakin great

   -jack

Locomotive's outro is easily my favorite - drums, piano, Axl, and just a little bit of guitar as the melody hurdles ahead... it's just awesome.

The Nightrain outro rocks!  : ok:

Breakdown and also Patience are great. Not a huge fan of Don't Cry's...

Although is not a GNR song, Sympathy for the Devil's outro kicks ass too.

Sweet Child anyone? :o

if anyone can say a GNR song, without a great outro, that would be more interesting...

live and let die has the worst intro, outro and middle.

Bad apples has not a great ending it sounds exactly like the beginning

Yeah, how can I forget? SCOM is one of the bests outros indeed! :ok:
But Rocket Queen and Locomotive are still my favourites. :D

Locomotive, SCOM, and Double Takin' Jive all have killer outros but to me, Breakdown's outro shits all over them :D

Out of the new songs, Maddy has the best outro, Axl overlapping Robin's brilliant backup vocals is sheer bliss.

Right on man, I guess I change my previous thought and Maddy now ties with the Blues as best outro of the new songs.  I remember first hearing Madagascar and that was what really stuck out to me as being great.  I don't know what it is, but there's something about Robin's voice that mends well with Axl's. 

Listening to Maddy is like a rollercoaster ride. The intro and so on is so eerie and suspensful with that remarkable voice..then you get to the chorus and it kicks so much ass...get to the bridge/quotes on top of that sweet ass solo and theres just no goin back, this song has it all...finally the quotes/solo mount to a boiling point and then you get Axl and Robin doing a remarkable outro duet..its genious. I really hope we see alot of songs where Robin's vocals shine, and arent just background sounds. Maybe Robin will take up the Izzy role in the band and have a few tracks of his own :D

I haven't heard maddy not IRS anyone have a link sorry to ask but couldn't find in th search I guess I'm bad at it.  :-\
On topic The Breakdown outro it's one of the best the singing of the paranoic part it's excellent I'd say that those mood changes could fit exactly how Axl sometimes feels in certain days  :nervous:

Blame it on McCartney

What are you talking about, it is exactly the opposite. Live and let die is a fantastic song.

Anyway, my favourite outro is the spanish guitar in Double talking jive

Well, live and let die isnt exactly a GNR song now is it.

THE best outro IS from paradise city. : ok:

Personally I think Estranged's outro fucking rocks! : ok:

And dudes!! What about Civil War!!! That's a great outro! I think so anyway... 8)

Paradise City is THE best ending to a song ever. Also the best ending to a concert. Awesome guitar licks. HOOOOOME-----------HOOOOOOOOOME - YEAH!! And two minutes of the most amazing lead guitar vocals and just everything- awesome. Best part of the Live DVD. Just great

that doesnt really have an outtro...

Wow, someone must have fallen asleep while Richard was playing that killer outro he wrote specifically for The Blues.. :-\

You're fucking kidding about Breakdown right? I was just casually reading this thread and this just stopped me cold. Fucking wow. Look. I understand this is all a subjective kind of thing but Breakdown? Man, to me, this is one of the bigger crimes GN'R has ever done musically. The last part of Breakdown anally rapes what is otherwise a beautiful song. This is example A of when I talk about GN'R losing their way and the missteps the UYI's had musically.

Fuck we have had countless discussions on this in the past here. Breakdown is such a fucking awesome thing but then some shit goes down that just stabs you in the balls. When the "Breakdown" part of the chorus kicks in it is "oh no time." But fuck that outro is one evil motherfucker aint it? I can't even bring myself to listen to that whole song. Half way through and booop. Skip time. What a fucking buzz kill that shit is.

I really think it is an unarguable fact (even though I know its subjective). I would love to see someone try and rationalize that bullshit. Its worse then Milkboy. Yea, I said it!


Hey, just want to add that I think Rocket Queen has the greatest true outro. Some of the ones you guys are saying aren't true outros...but whatever. RQ is some sweet masterpiece RNR.

smoke em if ya got em...dont damn me, baby

yeah i like that outro, too. but the demo was better imo.

Havent heard the demo but I rather like the Intro, I think GNR has the best outro in a lot of songs, the difference they make when they are playing music is just amazing  : ok:

Didn't Axl say the speech in Breakdown was the one thing on the UYIs he wasn't sure about. I can't remember where i heard that im just pretty sure he said its the one thing he wasn't happy with - maybe it was in 'The Band That Time Forgot'

I also agree with you, it takes the song in the wrong closing direction IMO, however i can still listen to the whole song

But Rocket Queen and Paradise City outro's are mind blowing

As someone said with PC its the perfect way to end a concert with the whole band going full out

i like the live version of SCOM when axl goes "chiiiiiiiiiiiiillllddd,chiiiiiiiiiiiild,chaaaaiiiiaaaiiiiaaaaiiiiaaaiiiaaiiaaiiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiald of,miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnneeeeeyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhh"if that counts as an outro coz its live.if it doesnt then its paradise city all the way for me  :peace:

Rocket Queen is EASILY the best outro to any Guns song.  I can literally play it over and over again.  Axl sounds amazing and slash is just going nuts.  It actually depresses me a little b/c its so amazing I always wonder what could have been.....sigh.  oh well.
not really sure why everyone is so giddy about locomotive.  GREAT SONG, but the outro usually gets the SKIP on my ipod.  I agree about the ending of BREAKDOWN being a waste of time too.  But to each their own.

SCOM as mentioned before, has a sick outro as well.  Same thing as Rocket Queen...Axl and Slash are just in a zone in those songs.  As corny as it sounds, its like magic...like a priveledge to get to listen to that!

I cant believe why people think breakdown has a sucky ending it is one of the greatest!! is very deferent for whatever song you have ever heard in history of music, thats why I keep saying GNR has the best fucking outro in the world, no one can compare them and that song is one of their masterpiece  :P

I like the outro to Breakdown musically, but it's the way Axl speaks/sings the outro that really cripples the ending for me, and it's also what Axl wanting to rework on the song if he had the time. By the way, I agree it is a total masterpiece otherwise : ok:

I'd say the last three minutes of Coma are the best ending to any GnR song

for me its Patience or Rocket Queen hands down

Rocket Queen Outro could be its own song.  It is focking amazing.  That is why I love Rocket Queen.  It is a two for one special!

Locomotive  : ok: Completely different tempo, sound etc. and just fits in perfectly  :)

It's just Axl's crap talk in the end that ruins the song:

But...it is written if the Evil Spirit arms the Tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the Dove
Thus spake the Super Guru?

WTF is that?

For me, it's a tie between November Rain and Patience.

Although GNR has a reputation for fantastic outros, I can't say that a fantastic outro would have altered my opinion of Silkworms, however, I wish that Oh My God had something more distinctive at the end.

I suppose to add another element to this topic, I'll ask this question:
Do you feel that there are any songs that need better outros (besides Breakdown, as some have mentioned)?

Yeah, I don't quite understand how this one hasn't been mentioned more. It's easily #1 on my outro list. Slash goes bonkers for like 2 minutes, amazing.

We really need Slash in the band. :yes:

I can't see anyone else having the job.

No more flunkeys, please.

And, yeah, PC best outro ever.

Coma is awesome because theres that middle part that makes me want to die! It is a rockin' song!

But I'd have to say the best outro is Rocket Queen! It starts of kickin az but ends up lovely. Just the way Axl is.

coz of this thread ive had rocket queen played continously for about 2 days now,it really is one of the best outros EVER.

Me too, I've kinda been playing all of the songs mentioned in this thread, fast forwarding to the endings haha.  After all that -  I have to say Rocket Queen still rules, but PC isn't too far behind it. 

You could be mine hasn't been mentioned at all either...the ending is pretty awesome...but the part where in the middle/toward the end where Axl just goes nuts still gives me goosebumps.  I remember watching MTV when they first premiered the song/video, wondering if Guns would be able to follow up AFD.....clearly I (and millions others) wasn't disappointed.

Not time enough to read the whole thread.

But, you're definatly right.   : ok:

Incidently...Another band that have some of the best outro's ever written are Blind Melon.

Personally, as far as outro's go, I think that they're right up there with GNR.

Just listen to the end of Dumptruck if you don't know what I'm talking about...

Definatly a masterclass in how a song should end.

maddy outro is great! as well the blues...
and BTW the one who singing with axl in the end of Madagascar is Chris Pittman not Robin? : ok:

No, it's Robin. Pittman only sang the backing vocals in this song in RIR3.

I mean thats the whole meaning of being breakdown, it kinda makes you feel ackward if thats what you feel, like diosrientated the song is making a great job and thus it has a magnificent outro!  : ok:




Are you sure they had as great outros as GNR?, i mean the change of rythim and tempos and stuff?

Robin's back up reminds me of Izzy sometimes.

You think that in CD we are gonna hear some magnificent outros like PC, Locomotive, NR?

Rocket Queen is the best ending to a song ever I think...   but give a listen to the tail end of IRS, not bad.

You really think so?, I really like Locomotive and Rocket queen's ending cause it change the rythym and that's just superb I think this is the only band that can do it well  : ok:

I still think that Estranged has the best outro ever. : ok:

i love the november rain outro, but when they play it on the radio they almost always cut it off!

the long note at the end of dont cry is irritating though.

overall i think guns n roses are one the best bands for outros.

i cant believe this!

breakdown outro!! the solo and the speech are amazing!!!

i love that outtro...another amazing outtro is locomotive

loooooovee so strangeee

I think the Outro to Twat will have more piano/orchestration by the time it is done. ;)

I liked the outro to Brownstone! haha... Yowza!

I tend to think that Axl wouldn't want to lose that outro edge from GNRs of the past.  It's part of his style!

Estranged outro is stellar but Dead horse was kilar man the way they wrapped it up was genious

The outro in Rocket Queen is the best thing i've ever heard in my life, it's so emotional, it's the best sound ever.

Its cool too i completely forgot obout RQ

I was listening to the two in my head n' yeah they do seem pretty similar.

more then pretty similar do u think he ment that wen he wrote them?

is the outro vocals or a solo?? I am not sure I never needed to answer such a question >:(

I don't like fades, to me they show an innability to end a song. But there certainly were a lot on Guns albums...

Hey, my post faded out! :hihi:

The last two minutes in Rocket Queen is the best outro of all time.

'nuff said.

i stil like the outro exchange betterv : ok:

How about the last minute of CITR??? 

ehhh im sketchy

mr. purple dick....hahahahahahahhahhaa



queer





jk, welcome to the boards

its dick purple??? and hes not new

cant really tell but i think it would be estranged

Gotta say... I love Cornshucker's outro... :rofl: "Now lick it!"

:rofl:

wow speaking of outros i love the ones from Rocket queen and Patience...

Patience Is good too i forgot about it : ok:

Ive been walking these streets at night... just tryin to get it right...

TWAT, TWAT, TWAT!!!!!!!!!! The Blues, Better.

those lyrics are crazzy

Id say CITR has a pretty decent outro.. although it doesn compaire to patience or RQ because those songs... they sort of switch gearsfor the outro.. like a different song

I was searching the message board if anyone had made a topic about this but couldn't find.
Anyway the thing is that the best band that had excellent outros is GNR, from songs like november rain, locomotive, rocket queen, double talking jive the outros seem to have that special touch of yearning of hear the song over and over again.
Do you think that the new record will have this kinda of outros?

 :rofl:

 the outro in My World is also good..

1) Rocket
2) Paradise
3) Locomotive
4) There was a time (even if Slash is missin')

Both of them

In AFD the only one that fades out is Nightrain
In the UYI I'm thinkg Locomotive, The garden, I cant remember the others Im drunk  :-X


And what's that supposed to mean?  :-\

i dont know i heard that yesterday and i was like .... what the hell man  : ok:...... but back on topic another good song outro is CITR but my fav is patience

Yea kinda weird  :confused:
Anyway I think that CITR is great but I'm expecting something like locomotive style very changing the rythym

hey its not too late CITR i dont think is done yet neither TWAT : ok:

It's quite hard to think of a GN'R song that hasn't got a good outro or intro    .......or the middle  ;D

Anyway

1. November Rain
2. SCOM
3. Coma
4. Paradise City
5. Rocket Queen

But these are just a few from the many  8)

my top 5 are quite different

1. Patience
2. November rain
3. rocket queen
4 paradise city
5. welcome to the jungle

Thats actually not as different as i though.... i like the patience one beause it has great lyrics at the end and there realy insightful  :peace:

Oh shit I totally forgot WTTJ  :o It's gonna bring you down huh!!!

I changed my mind my favorite Outro by Guns is.............................................................MY WORLD!!!! :rofl:
