I'm surprised "Ghost" is getting so much love. What am I missing with that song? It's just okay to me. Starts off good, but then sort of goes nowhere.
It is a simple track musically, I'll say that much, but it has such a HUGE groove going on.
I just think more than any other track on the album, everything works so well together, riffing, vocals, solo. It all flows so well and so flawlessly.
And to appreciate it fully, listen with the balance over on Izzy's side, and then listen with it on Slash's side, it sounds just like Appetite-era GN'R guitar playing.
And when Ian first sings (although it almost sounds like he's just speaking rather than singing) "Rock N' Roll", I can't help but go, fuck yeah!
Make sure you listen to Ghost at full volume too.
The song really shines when played loud, as does most of the album.
