LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 30, 2019…THIRTY ONE FREAKIN’ YEARS AGO GUNS N’ ROSES UNLEASHED ‘PARADISE CITY’ AS A SINGLE.THIS IS THE FIRST SONG THAT THE ORIGINAL GN’R LINEUP OF SLASH, ADLER, MCKAGAN, ROSE AND ROSE WROTE TOGETHER. ALL FIVE MEMBERS ARE CREDITED AS WRITERS. ACCORDING TO DUFF MCKAGAN THEY STARTED JAMMING ON IT AT ONE OF THE GROUP’S FIRST REHEARSALS AND IT STARTED WITH LYRICS HE PULLED FROM A NOTEBOOK. SLASH ACTUALLY WANTED TO LYRICS TO BE “TAKE ME DOWN TO PARADISE CITY, WHERE THE GIRLS ARE FAT AND THEY GOT BIG TITTIES” BUT THE BAND OVERRULED HIM TO MAKE THE SONG MORE RADIO FRIENDLY.
THIS IS THE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR ‘PARADISE CITY’
