🎵 Guns N' Roses Nightrain - REACTION

[@GoEqBro]

Night Train is a very cheap, high alcohol content wine. A fave from my college years. The song was written after they walked around a park all night consuming it. Slash famously said, “This song is basically about a walk in the park”.

[@revjim123]

Think of MD 2020, Ripple, Thunderbird etc. Cheap wine drank mostly by winos. Tastes okayish, will definitely get you fucked up, will probably make you sick at the end of the night, and you will have the worst hangover ever. But will get the job done if you only have a couple of bucks

In one of my film classes we had a classmate named Earl who loved Guns N’ Roses. He did a commercial on Night Train Express (grape flavored wine, 18% alcohol) to this song Axel enthusiastically sings of. He came into the studio around 11pm, his idea was stack the 8 bottles high and film, a pretty basic idea. The next morning Earl was found passed out next to the bottles by our professor-three of the bottles were empty. Go Earl go!

[@Stefan-]

Yeah and it came out in 1987, perhaps the most synthy and polished Heavy Metal period, it surely dropped like a bomb at the time with its all guitar "dirtyness". I was 16 in 1987 so i remember i borrowed the CD off a mate a work and taped it, i much later bought the CD myself. It really is a fantastic album and i still love to listen to it, albums like this reminds me why i play the guitar and write Heavy Metal songs although this isnt really Heavy Metal more like Hard Rock.

Nightrain is a very cheap wine that Guns N' Roses drank a lot of while recording Appetite For Destruction. Its also the drink of choice for hobos and bums. >> Axl Rose wrote this in 1985 when Guns N' Roses were living in Los Angeles and playing gigs on the Sunset Strip. The song is about how they were so reckless, crazy and poor that the only alcohol they could afford was the Nightrain. After every show they would get drunk and walk back home singing the lyrics to "Nightrain" until it finally came together. >>

I finally figured out Izzy. He wrote most of the good songs and I think Axle screwed him on the royalties and credits. Everyone in the band was afraid of Axle because Axle said "its my band" but Izzy said to go sk a big ft dk. Notice no one in the band ever talks about Izzy!?!?!?!?!?!!?

@@eleven2170 It’s a great song that nobody takes The time to understand why he wrote it, Axl did not write the song from his perspective. Elton John, Billy Joel, NWA and Axl, already explanes and You can find those interviews on youtube. But, people never took the time to understand the song, and it’s easier to just call him racist and homophobic, specially to the Villain created by the media, Axl Rose. There is not 1 person that really knows Axl that says he’s a bad dude, even When Guns split up, they had their differences but you can hear any interview by Slash, Duff, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum, they all say the same. Very intelligent, sweetest guy, beast of a frontman, shy, the most honest person, but to be fair also a pain in the ass and difficult to deal with when He’s in a Bad mood ahahah.
