It was the summer of 1988 when I went on holiday with my parents and some friends met them and Guns And Roses and U2 . For that year U2 rested the tremendous tour "The Joshua Tree Tour" and prepared their Yankie "Rattle & Hum " (1988) and GN'R had just to get the "Lies " (1988) was then songs like " One In A Million " or "You're Crazy " gave me know the unplugged side of the Gunners and I opened the door to his bestial debut, "Appetite For Destruction " (1987) as guess as the awakening of my current musical taste and qua until this year, my ears are still not had reached maturity and I simply listen to music that my parents and sisters had long ago bought or recorded, from "Music For The Mases "(1987) by Depeche Mode to the" Yesterday, Today, And Forever "(1982) by Raphael or the first records I bought me a few years ago, the band sound Platoon and a compilation of the Righteous Brothers . So it was not until this fabulous 1991 when records started coming out, me to buy them at the time of sale and fresh listen , peers alive.
So it was with these two Use Your Illusion . I remember the time of going to " Madrid Rock "to buy them in great and colorful vinyl to and soak in each and every one of its courts for hours. Are no more and no less than 30 songs that I'd skin as they deserve, in two volumes starting this " Use Your Illusion I " (1991) that, although I always liked less than Use Your Illusion II (1991) has great moments.
"What out of this first issue ? A highlight on all deliveries of GN'R always have been GN'R , ie from 1987 to 1991 : guitars. On the one hand solos Slash after rhythmic coverage Izzy in the very famous and fantastic " Do not Cry" and "November Rain ", and on the other Izzy riffs present in the best cuts of the record and sole creator of the two songs from Guns And Roses more delve into the roots of Blues and Country of deep America, "You Is not the first "and" Double talkin 'jive "and occasionally remind me that States remain the soul of good music . And a precedent for I love Slash , I claim the figure of Izzy Stradlin having been demonstrated the importance it had for the group since it was in the middle of the tour this record band or no band has been produced in a minute of music at the level we expected and wanted all. Here is my recognition.
And Guns & Roses forged the idea of \u200b\u200b" live fast, die young "with eight years of crushing R'N'R, Hard Rock, Folk and with a slow and distressing death that comes to today with the publication of unbearable" Chinese Democracy " (2008) that it could have been another 17 years in the study of the mansion of Mr. Rose .
Highlights:
- deep air based on Country, Blues and American Folk cuts like " Dust N 'Bones ", " You Is not The First "or" Double Talkin 'Jive "The 9 minutazos
- ballad of" Novembre Rain "(Ojito the collaborative video attached here ...)
- " The Garden "
