Rocket Queen (Bass Track)

[@danboniface914]

Most underrated bass player ever. The Duff/Izzy/Steven rhythm combo is the engine behind that albums success.

[@clinteldorado]

Ever listen to Matt Sorum try to play Steven Adler’s stuff? Fuck, it’s painful. He’s technically the better musician of the two, but the guy has no groove whatsoever.

[@danboniface914]

Gregg Mather agreed. He’s much more robotic and is a pounder, where Adler has that groove that fit Appetite so well. I remember a quote by Izzy saying that Matt joining the band turned their sound from a Rock n Roll band to a heavy metal band.

[@mikedayNTDBASS]

I just said this to my band. One of theeeee most underrated bass players... probably cause they we're drunk half the time and didnt actually play the same riffs (lol jk) but seriously... haha. Love these guys. Always

[@SombraPiloto]

@@mikedayNTDBASS Duff talks about at least once having no recollection of playing an entire show and in fact even visiting the country where the show took place (can't remember which one) and that blows my mind. His playing might've been a shit show that night but I could also absolutely see him ripping it like he does here. He's a top 5 favorite bass player for me.

This shit is perfect! Love Duff and his groovy style of playing!

[@SpongeBath_ShitPants]

Those subtle ghost notes he's using in the chorus fit perfectly.

[@Alex79uk]

Duff has my favourite bass sound. Love that slight chorus he has on it, especially live on this song.

[@Farewelltokingz]

Hate to smartass you, but there’s no chorus on this track on the album. Yeah on the live shows though.

[@TRPproproductions]

@@Farewelltokingzwhat do you mean there’s no chorus? You can hear it so well

[@Farewelltokingz]

@@TRPproproductions This is not at all a chorus sound, sweet child is but other than that he didn’t really use chorus on this album

[@hunterrodricks1881]

@@FarewelltokingzI’m pretty sure he does use chorus on this track and and the start of my Michelle but with way less chorus rate. It’s not as chorus heavy as sweet child o mine tho or anything on the UYI albums

[@Farewelltokingz]

@@hunterrodricks1881 it’s a possibility, I also saw an interview with Duff on KZbin where he says that November Rain was the only song that he had his chorus pedal on for the entire song.

[@leroyjenkinsss1767]

This is funky as hell but def still in a very punk rock way. Love his bass style

[@David-wf4wc]

It's amazing to hear the imperfections in a performance to tape. Even the switch being toggled at the very end around 6:05. Stuff you never hear in the song that you assume must be perfect yet it's totally human. Awesome to see how it all fits together in the end and all the little imperfections that make rock such an amazing form of media for the listener.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

That album is the last of the analog greats.

[@blessley4901]

Such a groovy dirty tone on this song! It almost sounds down tuned although it isn’t! The bass really popped on this on the original cd! I’ll never forget this was one of the very first cd’s i owned! 11 or 12 years old blasting this out of my new jvc components and sansui floor speakers!!!! Was like heaven on earth!! Still is!!!

[@luisfed97]

Actually all the strings in GNR are tuned a "half step down" or Eb

[@Tom-uw2ok]

just here to remind B Lessley that all GNR songs are tuned down a half step at least once a year

[@acoustic360]

Great to hear Duff's bass playing in such clarity! Would be greatly appreciated if you could post any other Appetite bass tracks? Thanks!

[@LeoTorres-gs2tx]

Nightrain

[@gloriouspotato6948]

I love after a few seconds into duff's playing he sets down his riff which gives a great bassline for the guitars to work. PLeasure to my ears every time

[@Florida_guy]

Duff's bass lines are delicious

[@miketallica315]

That tone!!! Growly AF.

[@gnrduff1]

HOLY SHIT! THE chords at the beginning of the chorus ARE F# - G# - E! What an absolute mindfuck.

[@openheimer968]

Exellent bass track...

[@thethiccwarrior6675]

The blondies really took that song home

[@SiFi5478]

A lot of isolated bass tracks that we get to hear these days reveal themselves to be a bit sloppy when exposed. But man...Duff is tight as fuck. I appreciate him so much more now.

[@ruanhazard1140]

Duff Sem Dúvidas é um Dos Melhores Do Seu Gênero .

[@TranzparentMethods]

Duff is a punk rock bassist. Melody over style.

[@cadstol123]

its funk bass line and a little bit punk on it..

[@Farewelltokingz]

Duff is an awesome player, a shining example of swagger and attitude over technical proficiency. Imagine if their bassist was Jaco, would have nowhere near the same rock and roll impact.

[@ToddieBender]

Love duff and alders playing on this!

[@scooterbrown4334]

Adler was a good drummer. Listen to rocket queen’s drum track by itself. GnR.. do gotta love it! You said Duff and Adler but you forgot Izzy.

Boris ПИНДОЛИНО have you listened to the Blu Ray version yet? I bought the box set but I don’t have a blu ray player :(

[@danboniface914]

@Sylver FX I wish! I have scoured everywhere for them and cannot find anywhere.

[@sam8404]

I don't know where to find them nowadays but years ago I found a rip of the AFD Blu Ray set on some torrent websites. I downloaded a raw rip of the Blu Ray, the album in FLAC format, and the 5.1 surround mix of the album (which sounds insane) in DTS format. I stopped torrenting so I don't know for sure but I think you should still be able to find them if you're willing to go that route, just check popular torrent sites.

Not the best ever. But a damn good one, like Cliff Williams and Cliff Burton. Great. Not the best ever. But Duff and Izzy wrote some incredible stuff. No doubt. And slash over the top. And Rocket Queen. What a 3rd verse. right!?? Classic. But not the best ever. I’d almost compare Welcome to the Jungle with Crazy Train. .. And that’s saying a lot. Randy Rhoads and Slash. On tour. I’d buy that fuckin’ ticket. If only…..
