THE biggest OF ALL TUNES (G.O.A.T.) is a series of posts, creating my 100 preferred tunes of all time. The master listing is here, as well as I update it about every two weeks or when I have one more 10 tunes or so.
Today, tune #15 is added–and the very first metal song.
When I broke up with a woman in college I blasted this song, as well as then “What It Takes” by Aerosmith, over as well as over as well as over. I was that man in the dorm everybody was irritated with. That breakdown at the end, “Where do we go now,” still kills me. as well as there’s a few of Slash’s biggest work, from the opening chords to the blazing solo halfway through, introduced by Axl’s agonizing shrieks.
So where does it land in the countdown?
