My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
Oh dear, my sweet one, loved you so much once and will forever…but never shall we meet again.

One of the best (most moving) guitar solos ever recorded.
^ +1. Only thing that would make it more awesome would be crashing a car down a cliff first and then having the camera zoom into Slash while he plays the kick-ass solo. He could throw his guitar down the cliff afterwards and it would only make it more even amazing. I wonder why they never did it.
😀
so… Michael Bay’s November Rain?
Nono, you’d be missing Megan Fox and a decent storyline, but i see your point haha. The usual Michael Bay Movie Formula (at least from my pov) is:
(Megan Fox+Massive CGI+No Story+Shit go BOOM!)*Millions Budget = Crap Seen by Dumb Masses
This song, what can I tell you; no more words, no more tears. Life’s been a torment for long enough, I will follow the foot steps of my loved one in one cold november rain – perhaps earlier, nothing really matters much to me. Thanks for the comments and the input. Sorry, drunk as hell now……
Yeah… this song always really gets to me too. That’s why i refuse to listen to it again unless i’m alone and have time to compose myself afterward.
that just happened to me
I can hear it in my mind, especially the solo, without need of an external source. It’s almost like having a brain-integrated mp3 player. Yes, i am and have always been musically inclined… which makes the personal sacrifice of music (because i can’t handle it anymore) all that much more tragic. But it’s okay. Interestingly enough, i thoroughly appreciate silence and ambiance these days (which is indeed in short supply, what with all the humming electrical devices always on everywhere… trains, planes and automobiles…).
Have you ever really stopped and just listened to the world and your surroundings? It can be deeply satisfying, fascinating, and/or even disturbing. According to your other comment i just read, i’m guessing you may have.
In a life requiring constant motion… silent stillness is exquisitely supreme. Nature makes great music, though many don’t quite recognize it as such.
Actually, I’ve come to find comfort in the white noise that machines provide, in a way it has become my ambiance. The fact that I said provide and not ‘produce’ should also shine light on the degree of comfort I find in white noise.
Damn nature! Always interrupting my artificially generated silence! Or at least silence in a way that it drowns everything else out.
Silence is uncomfortable at first tho. I live in a fairly quiet enviroment (at least at night) but i’ve kept my computer and air purifier on for years (i think my computer has been on for the last 10 years, i only shut it down when any piece dies of age and it’s replacement time) and i’ve had something like 3 night power shutdowns on that time (+ a 1 month after-earthquake-silence but that doesn’t count much because the noise was worse)… and a full silence enviroment was REALLY weird, yet soothing at the same time haha.
At times i fear that without that oh-so-familiar cpu buzzing sound i might not be able to sleep at all.
I watched the video ‘Can silence actually drive you crazy’ on youtube yesterday, featuring a room soundproofed with foam jutting out of the walls that absorbs soundwaves, allegedly it was the quietest room in the world.
I stopped listening to Guns n’ Roses after I learned how much of a lame asshat axl rose was..
Despite Axl’s personal issues and behavioral shenanigans, he was a pretty damn good rock vocalist. I rarely ever listen to any of their stuff anymore (or any other music for that matter), but it was a big part of my youth, they’ve got a lot of good songs, and both the vocals and guitar work they produced were some of my most important early inspirations.
G’n’R was my “gateway drug” on the road to Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, etc.
Oh fuck <3 GnR, nostalgic depression
Lol… my dad wanted to name me Axl Rose. I think he was drunk..
Axl was and most likely still is an egotistical asshole (and i wouldn’t be surprised if i get a legal treat on the mail tomorrow for writing this haha), but i don’t think they would have been so famous or done so much without him. The way i see it they were all perfect pieces of a speeding trainwreck. If you are on board of one of those you must likely reach your destination pretty quickly, but getting off that train once you realize it’s going to crash… heck.
Axl Rose is an anagram for “oral sex”. (If you rearrange the letters, you can spell either one). According to legend that’s how he came up with his stage name.
I read Slash’s autobiography a few years ago. He’s an interesting guy. He was born in England. His dad is a white guy, his mom is a black American. His mom was an artist who was pretty well known in the 70’s. Slash met a bunch of famous people when he was still a child.
It was a good read.
Didn’t make it to the famous guitar solo…9 minutes too long for me for any song. I find what you say about silence interesting clevername. I have loved music in the past too, and was a decent pianist at one time, but I prefer a good depressive silence now and have not picked up an instrument in God knows how long. I hate shutting my computer down, as it’s pretty much my only connection to the world, but I do, every night, to save energy.
