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. beer

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! peace

Make sure you listen to Ghost at full volume too.
The song really shines when played loud, as does most of the album.

Why does it have to go anywhere? It's just a good rock song. Good riff, good solo, everything. I agree the lyrical content is meaningless and Astbury's vocals sound spaced out, but it suits its purpose in tying the song together.
You're looking for too much in a simple song. Give it a few listens.

Right now

Starlight,Gotten and Saint is A Sinner Too are my favorites


this album,at first i was a bit worried that maybe it wouldn't have a lot of staying power... i thought maybe the artist would give Slash half effort and give him a B side performance

but NOOOOOOOO

I listen to some of these songs thinking their bands are gonna be pissed they gave this away


I know everyone hates Adam Levine cause he sounds wimpy etc,but that song as far as love songs go is incredible lyrically,emotionally and imagery.

"I dont want to picture him, touching your fragile skin......"
"I've been saving these last words for, one last miracle but now im unsure.. i can't save u, if u won't let me.. u just get me, like ive never been gotten before.

those may not be 100 percent accurate but still.. just terrific.

I can hear that song dominating adult contemporary radio.

Honestly, right now it's Beautiful Dangerous, followed closely by I Hold On. The damn thing's been in my head since I first heard it. Tongue

I'm also surprised at all the love for Ghost. I like it, I think it's a good song and a good opener, just didn't expect it to be as popular as it seems to be.
