Locomotive--most underrated song?

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Locomotive guys, I know Ive said this several times, but damn I love that song... but mostly only the ending...  LOOOOOVE ..... ..... . not overreacting, ok

[W. Botaxl Rose]

I think they should make a GH's II & release Locomotive as a single for it. Locomotive never got its' due. 

[DCGNR2006]

You are definitely correct in saying this song never got it's proper due. I think the vocals are like a raw version of what came through on Oh My God, just in it's style. The rest of the song is tremendous and I never understood how that f*cking outro went un-noticed by anyone other than Hardcore fans -
I used to play it for people and always got cool reactions. Even chicks liked it.

I hereby state that the new band should take a crack at this song in concert this summer - 06'

[supaplex]

they should "take a crack" at many songs like locomotive, breakdown and i would really like to see them do coma. it's a long shot but...

and locomotive is a great song, slash's guitar sounds amazing on that one. but it would be really hard to take it out as a single considering it's 7+ min. now people get bored if a song has 4+ mins. but i'll still have locomotive as one of my favourites from the illusions 

[plasmabeam]

Best song on UYI 2 in my opinion. Great lyrics.

[slashsbaconpit]

is a kick ass, underrated song. Any thoughts?

[Communist China]

My thought would be Dead Horse.

[Bang Bang]

My thought would be Dead Horse.

As in, that's where you think this thread belongs or that's your favorite song?

[CocaineTongue22]

Amazing outtro. I like all voices Axl uses, from deep evil bass, mid level twang to screaming devil woman (props to GQ for that last nickname).

[Bang Bang]

The outro is amazing. ?Great tune.

The lyrics are written well, it's just that they are more than a tad misogynistic for me. ?Sure women'll break your heart from time to time but that's no reason to hate them like Axl appears to in many of his songs. ?Like he never broke anyone's heart. ?I think the worst example of this, is the song "Back off Bitch". ?Worst GNR tune. ?So immature. ?I cringe. ?At least "Used to love her" was funny, but in these cases Axl is really serious.

Axl - lighten up dude. ?Live, love, forgive, forget. ?Such things make you feel great...

...but I digress.

The band really rocks on Locomotive. ?The song is well placed beside "pretty tied up". ?Both tunes have a similar sound and feel.

Cack off bitch was actually written about his grandmother. not 100% sure what about. something about always telling him what to do trying to control him and putting him down.

Cack off Bitch?

Interesting.  I don't know.  I think it's something each person's supposed to take in their own special way.

shit ok i give in... you heard it here first. New song off CD.

[polluxlm]

Locomotive is great, but it's not the most underrated song. Breakdown and Don't Damn Me comes first.

[CheapJon]

yeah 3 songs that should have been released as sinlges instead of like the ?garden and the garden of eden is locomotive,  breakdown and don't damn me

[Guns N RockMusic]

I believe Locomotive is the basis for the Use Your Illusion titles.  By far the greatest song on UYI2 (my favorite album) but breakdown is close.  Locomotive is a strong contender for my favorite song with November Rain, but in the end, November Rain takes it.

[polluxlm]

No, it's not. The artwork is the basis for the titles.

[Risico]

Average song. The outro, however, is freaking amazing.

The song's just so repetitive, in my opinion.

[BillBailey]

Have always loved Locomotive. Never thought it got enough praise. "I bought me an illusion and hung it on the wall, let it fill my head with dreams I had to have them all" or something very close to that was such a brilliant line. I always liked Izzy's rythmn work on this track. Its very underrated to many but not to a true GNR fan

How is it repetive?
