Again I find myself listening to that INCREDIBLY AMAZING song over and over again.
I can?t get enough of it, the more I listen to it the more I love it. It?s like a drug, I?m addicted to that song. I love most of the album but that song is something so very special I just can?t put it into words.

I listen to all kinds of music and I like each of my favourite songs in its own special way. Life is diversity to me though Guns and Aerosmith hold a VERY special place in my heart. But of all the songs I have listened to in my whole life, NO ONE impressed me like this one. It?s pure heart and soul caught in a song, which is VERY RARE. Waiting all those years was worth it just for that one song. At least for me.

I know that I will NEVER get tired of it and that I will love it in 20 years from now.

Thank you Axl, thank you so much for this song!!!!

love, lostdream

This I Love proves that old adage to still be very true:  Sometimes less is more.

I love the Slash-esque solo..This must be B-Foot..As he said he felt some songs sounded to robotic and he put a little blues/dirt in to give them the GN'R sound..

That was Robin Finck playing that particular solo. The whole album has a lot of blues in it. Mostly from Finck and Thal.

buy the album and read the song credits and shit and you'll see who played what

[LIGuns]

My mistake, the credits do list the solo as Robin..The main point I was trying to make was how the solo has the old GN'R sound, yet it sounds natural and not forced....

Sweet piano cover!!!

This song is great.. i wasn't completely sold on it at first but man this is Axl letting it all out.

I think it's kind of a farewell to that era of his life too.. i just felt that while listening to it.

I wouldn't worry about album sales #'s UNTIL "This I Love" comes out as a single and goes nowhere...

This song will be HUGE if GN'R/Axl put it out as a single. All of my friends who are general rock fans and casual GN'R fans (of the old band) have ALL immediately gravitated to this song as the best on the album. It screams "Classic Guns N' Roses" (Illusions era at least) to them... and I imagine to a good deal many more people... like those millions out there that first got into the band after the "November Rain" video...

And now I don?t know why
She wouldn?t say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And it might not be wise
I?d still have to try
With all the love I have inside
I can?t deny

I just can?t let it die
Cause her heart?s just like mine
And she holds her pain inside
So if you ask me why
She wouldn?t say goodbye
I know somewhere inside
There is a special light
Still shining bright
And even on the darkest night
She can?t deny

So if she?s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There?s no one else could ever make me feel
I?m so alive
I hoped she?d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I?ve searched the universe and found myself
Within? her eyes

No matter how I try
They say it?s all a lie
So what?s the use of my
Confessions to a crime
Of passions that won?t die
In my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart

So if she?s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There?s no one else could ever make me feel
I?m so alive
I hoped she?d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I?ve searched the universe and found myself
Within? her eyes

Guitar Solo

So if she?s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There?s no one else could ever make me feel
I?m so alive
I hoped she?d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I?ve searched the universe and found myself
Within? her eyes

And now I don?t know why
She wouldn?t say goodbye
It just might be that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And now it seems that I
Gave up my ghost of pride
I?ll never say goodbye aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeye

Yes, this is a great song indeed... It's actually my second favorite behind better, but that's because I love better. There is so much going on in that song.

But this I love, is much more simple, and thats part of the reason it's so good.

Great song. Really takes a lot of guts to open yourself and reveal yourself to the world like this song does.

[Axl4Prez2004]

I can't listen to this song without tearing up.
