LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-APRIL 1, 2020…THIRTY ONE YEARS AGO GUNS N’ ROSES RELEASED THE SINGLE ‘PATIENCE.’ THE SONG WAS HUGE FOR GN’R PEAKING AT # 4 ON BILLBOARD’S HOT 100 CHART. IZZY STRADLIN WROTE THE MAJORITY OF THE SONG WITH AXL ADDING TO THE END OF THE SONG. ACCORDING TO SLASH: “ IZZY AND AXL HAD SUCH GREAT CHEMISTRY BECAUSE AXL KNEW HOW TO TAKE ONE OF IZZY’S SIMPLE STRUCTURES INTO A PERFECT, WELL ROUNDED, MELODICALLY, RICH SONG. A GREAT EXAMPLE IS PATIENCE, WHICH ELEVATED IZZY’S SONG INTO SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY”.
‘PATIENCE’ IS PLAYED USING THREE ACOUSTIC GUITARS AND REMARKABLY WAS RECORDED IN A SINGLE SESSION.
