Hey GNR fans,

Random question for anyone that might know . . . I'm in a bit of an argument with a buddy . . . on the Longest Yard commercial, throughout the second half it sounds like they're playing a GNR song in the background, and I feel like it sounds familiar.  But my buddy says I'm crazy and that there's no way it's them.

Any insisght?

Thanks guys

Well tell your buddy your right, it's Paradice City

[peteypabloUM06]

Really?  Hmm . . . cuz I know Paradise City pretty much by heart and it doesn't sound much like it . . .

The song starts out with two loud drums, then it starts going 'thun-der' or something like that. 

Any other thoughts out there?

Yes but Paradise City isnt in the movie or on the soundtrack just on the commercial


One Longest yard commercial is "Thunderstruck" by ACDC but another commercial features GNR's Paradise City.

I wonder if this is a new recording of Paradise City by the new GNR.? Remember, it was another Adam Sandler movie "Big Daddy" that we last heard the new GNR play "Sweet Child".? It then morphed into Sheryl Crow's Version.? Mabey theres some kind of connections between Sandler and Axl.

it never morphed into sheryl crows version. It was old gn'r in paris morphing into the new gnr version.

I dont know if anyone here went and saw the movie (I did) but Paradise City isn't even in the movie. I'm more than a little confused by it's use in the trailer......
Did anyone else stick around to hear if it was used over the credits??

I was a little saddened PC wasnt in the movie too, but then again alot of songs can be used in the movie's trailer nowadays and not even be contained in the movie itself.
