Peoples single favourite moment in any GNR song.

[Irish gunner II]

I was just wondering,  which is peoples favourite part of any song.  And by favourite part i mean eg the end of PC, or the start of Jungle. Hopefully ye ye get the picture.

[CheapJon]

yeah i get it.. in rocket queen.. like 3.25 into it when the songs changes first with the drums.. then comes the great guitar licks.. just awesome.. and the bass is so fine too.. then comes one of my favourite lyrical GNR part in a song:

I see you standing
Standing on your own
It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be
If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll bee here standing
Until the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain
So don't chastise me
Or think I, I mean you harm
Of those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby-yeah

Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care

[ShotgunBlues1978]

The last verse of Coma

[Irish gunner II]

As the person above said, those last three minutes of Coma are perhaps the greatest lyrics ever written.

Got your mind in submission
Got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger
They just stepped aside
They be down by the water
While you watch 'em waving goodbye
They be callin' in the morning
They be hangin' on the phone
They be waiting for an answer
When you know nobody's home
And when the bell's stopped ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own
There were always ample warnings
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin'
But we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting
For a way to spend our time
An "It's so easy" to be social
"It's so easy" to be cool
Yeah it's easy to be hungry
When you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you
With what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take some time
To heal the broken memories
That another man would need
Just to survive

Even trying to keep up with Axl while talkin these lyrics is really hard.

[CheapJon]

yep i lurv that ^ part 2  it's so mighty-heavy-powerful-kick-ass

[Wheres Izzy]

I saw the title for this topic and immediately thought of the last verse of coma. Too bad like 3 people already beat me to it. Also getting mention tho would be that little "Ahhhhhhh" at the end of the breakdown before the solo. Always loved that.

for the start of Paradise City, very nostalgic, last verse of Rocket Queen,

[GNRreunioneventually]

Baby-yeah

Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care

i like the part just before that when that one chick (Adrian Smith) starts to cum

besides that i'll have to say the beginning of CHINESE DEMOCRACY (the song) and the end of Coma

I agree...I've always loved that last part of Coma.

[lynn1961]

I love the very end of November Rain.

Also, Rocket Queen, live, with the "Tastes Good!"  rap thing - you know what I mean.  Or with the talkbox.  Either one. 

[estebanf]

the extended instrumental part, leaded by the unbelievable Buckethead guitar solo, in ''There Was A Time'' is not only, in my opinion, the best part of the song, but also the best 2 minutes of all the GNR songbook. Other outstanding parts are the last part of ''Coma'', the ending of ''Chinese Democracy'' and obviously the ''D'you know where u are, you're in the jungle baby, you're gonna die'' part.

All the final parts of the GNR songs are killer.

Seconded. Or is thirded? Fourthed? I don't know, people know it's a cool part.

Other cool moments for me are the intro to Bad Obsession (harmonica FTW), the "Petty baby/Oh, honey/You let me down, honey" part of Back Off Bitch and the entire first verse of Human Being where Axl just doesn't let up for air at all.

OK, that's four moments but I can't decide.

[Booker Floyd]

Slashs final solo in "November Rain."

[Ulises]

BREAKDOWN

To think that the one you love
could hurt you now
Is a little hard to believe
But everybody darlin' sometimes
Bites the hand that feeds

(...)

Remember in this game we call life
That no one said it's fair

(...)

When there ain't enough of me
To go around
I'd rather be left alone

(...)

Just because you're winnin'
Don't mean you're the lucky one

[Dead N' Bloated]

The Breakdown in Better "I never wanted you to be so full of anger" bit. That whole breakdown is massive. And the solo in I.R.S.

I haven'y really thought about it but there are prob some more faves in there.


 

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Yup, I'm with a lot of people: The last 3 minutes of Coma, in my opinion, is the greatest piece of lyricism I've ever heard.

Yeah I also love the lyrics in breakdown.. pretty much the whole song is A+

some1 mentioned back off bith, love some lines in that 1 2..
stay out of my bed, outta my head
If it's lovin' you,
I'm better off dead
and
Face of an angel with the love of a witch

[GeorgeSteele]

I'll jump on the last part of Coma bandwagon; so intense that it just sucks the life out of me (but in a good way). 

For me, other great moments are Slash's last solo in Estranged, the beginning of WTJ, last part of SCOM (where do we go now...)

[dr.kool]

For some reason i love this sentence in Breakdown: "Seems like everything was roses, when we held on to the guns"

I also love the last part in Coma, im always trying to sing a long.

[freedom78]

I agree about Breakdown, too.  Some of the best lyrics they wrote, in my opinion.
