Locomotive/92' Tokyo Drum Solo

[ClintroN]

I've been listenin' to Locomotive over n' over all week, THE best lyrics EVER!!!!!

Anyway, i was listenin' to the piano outro with the drum rolls n' shit n' forgot  that Matt n' Duff r' credited for percusion...n' its obviously Duff smashin' that crash symbol ......do you think this is where the idea came from for Duff to run out on stage durin' Matt's solo n' jam with him for the Illusion shows??

it just fuckin' hit me

[Voodoochild]

I dunno, but I wish they had played Locomotive instead of that awful boring drum solo.

[Scabbie]

I agree, Matt Sorum's drum solo's were fuckin shite. Just an excuse for the band to have a drink.

mmm honestly I love locomotion Locomotive, as you can't imagine, but specially the last part the slowly part, its so great, it leads you to states of unconscience, without drinking or smoking anything, that is for me... That is the only remarkable song of the Illusion II, in my opinion, that is not considered a HIT, its SOOO different from the rest of the album, that when you really like it, You only want more of that KIND of music, instead the BIG hits, like KOHD, or Civil War, that compared with Locomotive, are nothing,in my not so humble opinion,? and it turns out to be, an Axl and Slash composition, with demonstrates us, that they "together" were certainly a Strong force, of writing, penning composing, and playing...

anyway, Relationships as Love, is So strange...

I think I can imagine it !

I agree with the last part of the song being the best. The whole song is awesome though, and only guns listeners generally hear it. They've put good endings on a few of their songs eg NR, Patience, Locamotive, DTJ etc...

mmm honestly I love locomotion, as you can't imagine

I think I can imagine it !?

In a serious note man, Locomotive, is an extremely awesome, song, I only wish, the last part, would like a longer time...

Yeah, was *joking* 
I agree with you: Locomotive is great ! Listening to the end while closing my eyes is so relaxing (my english is bad I l know  )
Estranged and Coma are masterpieces too

So do we all. That drum solo is awful

Especially during the days of VHS when you had to fast forward through.

lol, good times my friend, good times.

Locomotive is indeed a great song, very complete, with insanely good lyrics. In 1991, Axl was saying Locomotive was "Slash's baby" from the Illusions set, while Estranged was Axl's...

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I rememeber the first time I heard locomotive, I always liked the part of "gotta find a way to cure this loneliness...", but the most excelent part is the outro of loooooove is so stranged, I mean what the fuck did Axl was thinking when he came up with that. I think that song just as breakdown is my fave of GNR.
