Illegal I

Not sure there has been a post about this song. I have seen this song refered to as one of the weaker tracks on Contraband. I just wanted to say that it is definately one of my favorites. I think the chorus is awesome and it stuck out to me from the beginning. Not that it is very complex or anything, I just love the way it is sung. I love when he repeats "lying there".? The music is great too. Very underated song!!!!!! Thats all... I haven't really listened to the CD in a couple weeks because someone borrowed it from me. Looks like I will be buying another copy......

eh, it's alrite. I love contraband but that song kind of blends in. I think the song that kicks the most ass and gets looked over form that album is spectacle.

yeah both Illegal anf Spectacle are GREAT songs get get overlooked. At first I thought Spectacle was the worst song on the album but then I realized how complexed it sounded. It is the best guitar song imo. It kicks ass in the same way Nightrain does as far as guitars go.

Indeed. Both songs are great. Scott did an awesome job in those tracks and Slash really put a lot of power through his les paul.

Couldn't agree with you more, Spectacle is my favourite rocker on the album (Motherfucker yeah!!!) along with Illegal I. And how can you not like the awesome drumming in Illegal I??? Matt absolutely rips!!!

Agreed. I personally feel, IMO, that this is one of the top 3 songs on Contraband. Illegal i Song is a crazy song, and crazier live.

Not true the producers butchered BIG MACHINE. Live the song has so much energy and vibe and got the crowd going and chanting, but on the album it sounds like shit and sounds repetitive. After a few listens you wonder what the heck happened to this song it had so much potential

I fully agree! I think Illegal I was even voted off 1st in suvivor? However, I think it & SMF are by far the best two rock cuts on the album.
Illegal I takes u alot of places. Love the chorus & I love Slash's little strungout solo towards the end. Plus, it's probably Sorum's shining moment as a drummer. A great song!

I think the drumming intro is a little more full-on than Wipeout, and listen to the rolling drum pattern in the verses, it doesn't sound like straight-ahead rock drumming like in the other songs on Contraband.

Got an explanation for either?
His legendary confrontations with Axl doesnt sound like the work of an ass-kisser to me...

Some would argue that Matt's an asskisser because he stayed close with slash and duff but I think that's ridiculous. I mean wouldn't the safer bet around 96 when he left to have stuck with Axl, one of the biggest rock stars ever, and the GNR name (which Duff was still very much a part of) then to allegedly kiss slash's ass? I think the reason he stayed close with duff and slash is because they got along well and when it came around time for the project duff and slash loved his playing. I mean it's very doubtful they woulda said "we can find someone we like better but sorum baked me brownies this morning and told me my ass still looks good in my leather pants so lets go with him." And as far as being a poser, well I don't know what that's about. Sounds out there to me. And as much as I love Axl you could make much more of an argument he is a poser by trying all new image stuff and the braids and the jersey and all. He looks like the guy in that video by the offspring "pretty fly for a white guy" in that thing.
