Slash solo in this song is one of the best solos I ever listen... It seems there we are flying when he starts the guitar solo... AWESOME... Diserves the first place!
sweet child' o mine is my favourite song and in this song slash is the best
Nice solos, nice melody every thing is brilliant but should be like 2 or 3

Sweet Child O' Mine is a fantastic song but November Rain is always something special. It encapsulates a lot of emotions together. 99/100 to November Rain and 95/100 to Sweet Child O' Mine for me.
This song has some of the most beautiful lyrics, and when accompanied by full orchestra and and Elton John-ish piano, it builds to the massive, mesmerizing solo that Slash delivers... One so powerful that it gets your blood racing and puts a smile on your face at the same time.
This is my favorite song of all time. Its combination of a beautiful piano intro, three amazing guitar solos, and excellent lyrics make the nine minutes you will spend listening to it the best nine minutes of your life.
More comments about November RainListen to sampleThis is just freaking classic GnR. It's like a classic. I have to agree with Slashrocks on this one.
appatite for distruction is my favorite album of all time, and this song is right at the top of the PURE ROCK that Guns N' Roses used to be, this is what axle needs to get beck
definite guns n roses, the sappy ballads are ok but gnr was all about the attitude and balls
More comments about Welcome to the JungleListen to samplesweet child o mine should be 2nd actually. this track is like a legend. when slash plays the intro, the response is always huge! a great song!
This is the best GNR song ever sweet child of mine is good but we're talking about paradise city here
Welcome to the Jungle and November Rain are both exceptionally awesome songs, but you can listen to Paradise City for 100 times on loop and still wanna listen to it even more! It has got everything!

here vocals are really impressive with amazing guitar solos
Great song. One of the greatest songs of all times. When I listen to it, the hair of my hands stands up.
It's not easy to choose one of this marvelous songs but Don't cry... Touches my soul. Knocking on heaven's door is one of my favourite songs but I'll always be a fan of the original version.

Don't listen to the retard who says Estranged is best because there are "more key changes". This song is the best because it is an epic, flawless masterpiece; just listen to the song! Besides, Estranged only changes key once, just like Sweet Child and November Rain!
A long song, but my most listened to song of all time. I love everything about this song, the contrast between the two halves split up by a wonderful piano solo, 4 incredible solos and fine lyrics and voice work from Axl. The band really out did themselves with this absolute gem

Amazing vocals and best guitar solo ever! The most under rated Guns N' Roses song
More comments about EstrangedListen to sampleThis one should be knocking # 1 position. The very best song of the world.
Dude this song is one of the BEST songs ever!!!
This song still plays in my head almost every day, you rule...!
I am gonna say nothing its the best must be from the top 3 songs all of the songs up are great but in my opinion civil war is the best. Great guitar. Great singing and lyrics about war and freedom
The best of the best. Excellent Guitar work and matching lyrics, telling a killer story.
The best of gnr... must be number 3 or 5

This should definitely be one of the top 3™s, if not, at least top 5™s. Such a great song!
this is one of the best slash is using a acoustic guitar which is what made this song so amazing
hahaha to the comment 'i will fight anyone who doesn't like this song' I shall back you up
More comments about PatienceListen to sampleAppetite For Destruction was their best album... Guns N' Roses are one of the best bands of music history and this song too...
Definitely my favorite GNR song. It's unfortunate it wasn't more popular...
THIS IS LIKE THERE BEST SONG(ALMOST) IT HAS SO MUCH GOING ON AND THE RAW EMOTION!

Nice to see the big 3 from Appetite all in the top 4.
But You Could Be Mine should replace November Rain up there.
This is the best GNR track NOT on Appetite!
From Matt's Solo in the beginning, to Duff's groovy lick before the epic Dual Guitar riff from Slash and Izzy Stradlin to Axl's screeching vocals and throughout the whole song, It gave me goosebumps, because with your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue, you get nothin' done
Damn, I mean I shurely love Appetite for Destruction, especially Paradise City, but this song just turns me on! WILD! EPIC!
More comments about You Could Be MineListen to sampleI might be too much but honey you are a b... you're BIT OBSCENE... Tokyo Version on 1992 is wow...
when the sliding solo ends you think what a great hard rock song by gnr but when the bridge comes and the 'i see you standing' part starts you're like wow just wanna stand up and dance like crazy... and then the OUTRO part with the solo... just AMAZING. nothing compares to this one... got to be at top 5
The second part of the song is probably the best thing I have ever heard. From " I see you standing" to the guitar solo, nothing but pure awesomeness.
just a well written good old rock n roll song
RedBeard101
It has everything, a catchy riff, a good solo and a smart vocals. I love the line: I used to do a little but the little wouldn't do it so that little got more and more. I love it. Everytime I play it on guitar, people love it.
Everyone says that all their songs are about drugs... Well they are but this one is AWESOME! Nobody put my absolute face guns song (out ta get me) but this is #2 because it rocks for being a song all about heroin
More comments about Mr. BrownstoneListen to sampleThis is honestly the best song you will ever hear by them, it's touched more people than anyone could imagine
This totally rock music.
They can change a lazy song to the very rock song!
This can be higher than nightrain and chinese democracy!
This should be top 10!
YOUR DADDY WORKS IN PORNO, NOW THAT MOMMYS NOT AROUND!
This song is incredible. the lyrics are intense, the guitars are great, the drums are great. Everything is on point. should be in the top 10
The last 3 minutes of the song is probably the greatest moment in music history
shame its not so well known as for ex. Paradise City or S C o M.
Veryy verry underrated song, way better than knockin' on heaven's door, just because this is in the last track of use for illusion I, doesn't mean this song bad!
More comments about ComaListen to sampleBeautiful, intense and emotional song. The most moving piece of music made by Guns N' Roses - in my view.
everett1992
the best from the new album (chinese democracy) - the solo is simply passionate
like a november rain and don't cry

Listen to sampleLOVE THIS SONG! The beat to this song is unlike anything in the world... and then the solo at towards the end... BEAUTIFUL! Although the lyrics can be a little racist, you must realize that this is a song and we don't know what axl was truly meaning. Everything is so beautiful, my favorite song PERIOD!
This song is amazing. I listen "One in a milion " all the time! I love it!
Axl's voice is incredible. Guns N' Roses are the best hard rock group
OK so maybe not Sweet Child, Paradise City, or Welcome to the Jungle but deserves to be higher than 21st
incredible song, amazing vocals, great solo, the end of this number is really the highpoint! Underrated song..
Listen to sampleOne of their best songs. I just can't stop listening to it! Axl Rose again is incredible. Well, I can say all of them are just unstoppable.
Great song, stacks up well with their classics both in terms of lyrics and musicianship.
Listen to samplesome live version of this starts "you know those songs you make up talking about annoying old girlfriends... " my favorite GNR song
Queen-aholic
Listen to sampleAwesome intro though its a covered song.. Still Guns N' Roses rocks this one.. This doesn't have the quality of sweet child of mine or november rain but it still had slash rocking in the guitar.. Good One..!
The most underappreciated of their great "epic" songs, and by far the most cryptic. A seven-minute tour de force of beauty and carnage, euphoria and collapse. Axl's singing was never more impassioned or more moving than on the verses.
Definitely one of their top 10 songs. This is a brilliant song, massively underrated, the lyrics and the 'pace' of the song are simply great!
Listen to sample+1This song in my opinion is the greatest guns and roses song ever made. I think the lyrics are the greatest song lyrics I have ever heard in a song.
Best guns n roses song. It has the best lyrics of any of their songs. This should definitely be in the top ten. Along with sweet child, welcome to the jungle, and paradise city and some other great songs. Don't damn me is the best song off use your illusion 1.
This Is The Best Track Of Use Your Illusion I

Listen to sample+1I don't know why this song is not on the list I think its a good song
abcdefghijklmnop
Listen to sample+2one of their newest songs amazing singing by axl
THe only song on the new album that I can listen to. It is amazing how Axl was able to sing with different voices. Overall, The best of the new Guns N' Roses.
Listen to sampleWonderful song, must be inserted in top 10 absolutely!
Great vocal duet Axl - Duff
Great melodic solo by Slash
+1A great song Izzy does a great job singing this song. When Izzy left Gnr went downhill.
Slashrocks
Listen to sampleThis song is so cool, sort of funk metal kind of thing which works so well in this song. Definitely a top 5 off of UYI II
Listen to sample+1Agreed, a brilliant cover. Axl almost sings it with a British accent.
Listen to sample+1Live Era, can't believe its not on there, I practically cried in this song. Truly the best.
Listen to sampleLove the slide guitar in this song I go through stages of different Guns N' Roses songs. This has been my favourite for about a week. Before that it was Its So Easy
