Rollin'
One, two, three, one, two, three

[Verse 1]
I tried so hard just to get through to you
But your head's so far from the realness of truth
Was it just a come on in the dark, was it meant to last long?
I think you've worn your welcome, honey
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

[Bridge]
One, two, three, one

[Verse 2]
Time can pass slowly and things always change
Your days been numbered and I've read your last page
You was just a temporary lover, honey, you ain't the first
Lots of others came before you, woman
Said, but you been the worst, said, you been the worst

[Bridge]
Two, three and

[Verse 3]
So, goodbye to you, girl, so long, farewell
I can't hear you crying, your jivin's been hell
So, look for me walking down your street at night
I'll be in with another, deep down inside
Deep down inside

[Duff]:
"To the bar!"

[Slash]:
"That was a take!"

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.
