I love the intro, outro and the triple layered vocals using Axl's three different voices is a cool twist. I just think the middle of the song goes on too long and could be a bit shorter, combining all the solos into one better one of the same length to give it a bit more punch.

yeah i heard the 89 demo and the 91 inglewood.. the inglewood version is amazing but sound quality can be better
plus.. i do not think loco is underrated at all.. i think it is underrated by the band and they should have played it more live

It's strange that what fans consider some of their best songs seemed to be underrated by the band. At least they didn't play them much. Coma, Locomotive, Breakdown, Don't Damn Me (never played?
), Rocket Queen (after Izzy bailed) to name the obvious ones.
And now, seemingly, There Was A Time. What is up with that? Most bands would have killed to have such songs on the setlist.

I think they should make a GH's II & release Locomotive as a single for it. Locomotive never got its' due.?
eh, i dont think it would do very well as a single,not that its bad. its fucking awesome but the mainstream audience would be too dense/stupid to comprehend its brilliance.
i love the song, easily one of my favorites. this song really sents Guns N' Roses apart from all those hair/pop metal bands they were always associated with. it also showcases Axl's lyrical genius.

I can play it... sorta. Pretty difficult at first, since it's gotta be done with the precise "rhytm" to get that riff going... Awesome song, Slash does it better than I do.

No. They're all good as they are.

The lyrics in Locomotive were some of the most intense and honest ones he ever wrote. Shit like this was ahead of it's time.

I like this song, and it was supposed to be included on the official 2 Disc set that GNR were meant to put out. Live I think that it was overshadowed by Bad Obsession, and that this song was played in its place as it was an older track.
