Classement des 50 meilleures chansons de Guns N’ Roses

Le magazine Classic Rock vient de dresser une nouvelle liste des “50 plus grandes chansons de Guns N’ Roses”. En tête de liste, on trouve deux classiques d’Appetite For Destruction : “Welcome To The Jungle” en première position et “Sweet Child O’ Mine” en deuxième.

La troisième place est occupée par “Estranged” de Use Your Illusion II, tandis que la quatrième place est occupée par “November Rain”, le morceau préféré de Use Your Illusion I. Le Top 5 est complété par “Rocket Queen” d’Appetite.

Il convient de noter qu’aucune chanson de l’album “The Spaghetti Incident ?” de 1993 ou de l’EP Hard Skool de 2022 n’a été retenue dans le Top 25 de la liste.

Slash nous a expliqué il y a quelques temps pourquoi il pense que le groupe a touché une corde sensible lorsqu’il a émergé en 1987 avec son premier album Appetite For Destruction : [“We were the only band that was doing what it was that we were doing, with the attitude that we had. People were starved for it, because, I mean, other than us, there was Simple Minds and Motley Crue. I mean, y’know, (laughs) Cyndi Lauper, y’know? I mean, that’s what was going on then. So people were dying for, like, a real, blood, sweat, and tears rock n’ roll band.”] (:19 OC : . . . groupe de rock n’ roll)
