GNR outros

[AxlsMainMan]

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?

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

[jmapelian]

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

[jimmythegent]

for me its Patience or Rocket Queen hands down

[Smoking Guns]

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!

[Evolution]

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

[Genesis]

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?

[directionality]

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)?

[W. Botaxl Rose]

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

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.

[Warren]

Slash goes bonkers for like 2 minutes, amazing.

We really need Slash in the band.

I can't see anyone else having the job.

No more flunkeys, please.

And, yeah, PC best outro ever.

[Goldie]

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.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

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

[The Dog]

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.

[Jim]

Not time enough to read the whole thread.

But, you're definatly right.   

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.

[PJ]

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.?

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?

[Voodoochild]

maddy outro is great! as well the blues...

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

[Mr. Dick Purple]

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?

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! 

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

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

[Evolution]

maddy outro is great! as well the blues...

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

Robin's back up reminds me of Izzy sometimes.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

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

[megahurt]

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

[Mr. Dick Purple]

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
