Took my chances carelessly
Choked on my own cigarette
You can hand me another bottle of whiskey baby
But you ain't seen the worst yet

Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun
And the woman who is dead
Who was out alnight, no I'm not the only one

And I ain't standing, never standing
In the shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love

Wrote my changes helplessly
Yeah but I got no regrets
Money it was on the table
So I booked with all the bets
Living like a lemon ain't so hot
And you ain't my idea
Of one high-rollin' shot

No I ain't standing, never standing
Big dark clouds hanging over your head
Hope you've heard, baby all I've said
You've been told, what I've said
No use crying, you're as good as dead

Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun
And the woman who is dead, who is out alright
Now I'm not the only one

And I ain't standing, never standing

Big dark clouds hanging over your head
Hope you've heard, baby all I've said
You've been told, what I've said
No use crying, you're as good as dead

Guns N' Roses was the most dangerous band in the world in the late 80s and early 90s. Led by singer Axl Rose and stylish guitarist Slash, they mixed the passion of blues, the heaviness of rock, and the attitude of punk, bringing forth a breath of fresh air to a music scene dominated by cheesy hair metal bands.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, is the best selling debut of all-time. They outsold a headlining Aerosmith on their first major tour, released two double albums (Use Your Illusion I & II) simultaneously, and soon would play to audiences in excesses of 20,000 people.

However, cracks started forming in the band, as classic era drummer Steven Adler was fired from the band before the “Use Your Illusion” releases and founding rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin left abruptly during the ensuing tour. They were replaced by Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke, respectively, with keyboardist Dizzy Reed joining the band and expanding the group’s sound.
