[Verse 1]
Told you once about your friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find

[Chorus]
That it's alright, it's alright

[Verse 2]
Where to go? Where to see?
It's always been that way and it can never be

[Chorus]
But it's alright, yeah, it's alright

[Verse 3]
Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn

[Chorus]
That it's alright, it's alright

[Verse 4]
Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through

[Chorus]
But it's alright, it's alright

[Verse 5]
Told you once about your friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find

[Chorus]
That it's alright, it's alright

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.
