"Nightrain" Guns N' Roses | CME Full Band Fridays

Put those headphones on and crank the volume as high as it’ll go! This Full Band Friday, our friend of the shop, Pat, is back to giving the CME House Band some much-appreciated Axl grease for this rendition of the GN’R classic about a beverage best imbibed within five minutes of being pulled out of the fridge of your local Piggley-Wiggly. Hold on tight-and get ready for a wild ride once Nathaniel and Company pick up speed while playing the holy grail of electric guitars through Magnatone's new Slash Signature 100W Amplifier!

DID YOU KNOW?
Slash describes "Nightrain" as "an anthem that we came up with on the spot". The original idea for the song came when Slash and Izzy Stradlin wrote the main riff while they were sitting on the floor of the band's practice room. The next day, Slash was ill so Stradlin finished writing the music with Duff McKagan. However they did not write any lyrics. The song remained incomplete until one night when the band was walking down Palm Avenue sharing a bottle of Night Train. Someone yelled 'I'm on the night train!' and the whole band joined in, with Axl Rose improvising the lines in between: "Bottoms up!" "Fill my cup!" etc. After this initial inspiration, the band finished the song within a day. According to the autobiography of Paul Stanley from Kiss, the pre-chorus of the song used to be the actual chorus until Rose let Stanley hear a demo of the song and advised Rose to use the chorus as the pre-chorus. The first half of the first guitar solo and the lead intro is played by Izzy Stradlin, while all other lead guitar parts are played by Slash.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!! SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CHICAGO MUSIC EXCHANGE!! NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK!!

[@CaptainCraigKWMRZ]

ALL CAPS, AHHHHH! BUY OUR SH$T NOW!!!!

[@chriscarol4965]

That singer is more Axl than Axl himself is….

[@castleanthrax1833]

This guy probably turns up on time.

[@shaunmorrison6448]

He seems to be in tune

[@rickrick6933]

That was dumb...more azle than axl...have him sing for 40 yrs and see how he sounds... Axl and front man persona can't be matched

[@tommylee85]

​@@rickrick6933maybe there's 40 years of doing something else other than singin..😂

[@jcsk8]

Holy geeez. I wasn´t expect that. Singer really nailed it, as all the band.

[@farrellrd]

Everyone is absolutely killing it!!!! But dayum that singer is 🔥🎤🎸🎶🎹

[@gteefxr3094]

"Dayum"?? Grow the fuck up.

[@robertfrippers]

THE SINGER IS KILLIN IT

[@ElectricVillage]

Wow. Nailed it. Floored by the singer’s performance. Everyone was top notch, but wasn’t expecting such a great vocal performance.

[@LucasTurnbloomComics]

Holy shit, that singer nailed it.

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Pat's the man! He does a really good Eddie Vedder... 👀

[@benjamingilmore825]

I’m speechless. Better than actually going to see GNR now. A high watermark of human achievement

[@gteefxr3094]

"Human Achievement'...ok😃

[@Ochoduckie]

You know that singer KILLED it back in the day, cos he’s still got pipes.

[@anexoworkshop]

The singer, I'm speechless. The whole band kills it, but finding someone that can sound close to Axl is one hell of a task.

[@simonedavis2398]

Nate Murphy is the MAN!! That LP ‘59 is amazing, but that killer sound exit only with the just hands!

[@alexanderp.5019]

Sounds great, guns n roses should hire this guy on vocals Cool gretsch falcon

[@JS-nf1sn]

Sounds like the album. Amazing.

[@gwillypdawg]

That bass player is just too sweet

[@Tord79]

Now I know where Axl`s voice went away.

[@DLH.23]

SO good! Always loved that kinda double stop solo part at 2:25. And the whole song is incredible, miss when bands with riffs like this were mainstream!

[@erikkibler3466]

That part is awesome

[@YehoashDream]

Yesss!!!!! That sing so fit that vibe of the early Guns N Roses era❤

[@NorthwestGuitarworks]

Singer is fantastic

[@scottjua]

Time for a CME GnR month! Preferably one with as many fridays as possible

[@Ghostdogsurvivalist]

Well that escalated quickly.

[@classiclife7204]

GNR should just let this band go on tour as them. This is as 1987 GNR as you're going to hear in 2024. Great players. Nathaniel makes it look effortless, per usual, and love the tone. The singer, who I see only goes by "Pat", IS Axl. Wouldn't be surprised if he was lead vocal in a proper GNR tribute band. Great stuff, guys!

[@stephenstanley7466]

This is fantastic and the singer is just unbelievable.

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thanks for watching! 🤘🤘

[@billmoran935]

You guys have put a smile on my face for the rest of the month

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thank you!! 🤘🤘

[@gwillypdawg]

This sounded killer. I have said this about nathaniel murphy but all of you have to take this stuff on the road

[@chrisshaw6451]

Absolute gold man, love it! 👍❤️

[@GraphiteandCigars]

TY CME, ROCK is not dead! Singer kills it.

[@andydinesguitar]

Whole band is killing it - especially Axl! Always a joy to hear some cowbell too!🐄🔔🤟😝

[@juanespinosa8064]

These guys are good. Night train" I wore the heck out of my cassette tape listening to this in the late 80's. This was dope ,guys.

[@trevormosher1678]

Well, that was flippin' fantastic! Well done, boys 👏🎩

[@chicagomusicexchange]

🤘🤘

[@_avia_]

Man, the Bass is driving this song so much!

[@hugomartinho2555]

Everything is super tight! Singer does a better axl than the actual axl these days. Nathaniel solo is killer... no ice on that drink (wahwah)... just pure scotch! Noice!

[@rob9340]

Superb! Everyone so well played, but the singer! Massive kudos to him, he absolutely nailed and made it his own. That cannot be an easy vocal cover! Well done.

[@jeffpfannenstiel1011]

Once again...that production is just so great. And of course the playing is stellar as always. Well done.

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thank you!! 🤘🤘

[@giulienk]

One of your best. I would have just used an heavier ride cymbal and the bass mixed a bit louder. Then everything was spot on. Love the cowbell ❤

[@benallmark9671]

Awesome job fellas !

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Much appreciated! 🤘🤘

[@kingnorre5103]

Brings back memories! The first CD I ever bought as a kid was “Appetite for Destruction” many moons ago. I played that CD a gazillion times. I still think that it is one of the greatest rock albums ever made. BTW, this band is nailing it! You guys just made my day. Thanks! 🙏

[@chicagomusicexchange]
