When I look back at my youth, there’s some music that’s grown away from me, oasis, blur, Nirvana, bands like that.. they seem old and a little tired..
But some bands, their music is as fresh and vibrant as it was the first day I heard it. And I can remember what I was doing the first time I heard paradise city. It’s a moment in time captured. And that sound is as fresh now as it was then.
Axel can’t always reproduce his snark live, but his singing doesn’t have to be melodic, Slash makes his guitar sing like the best diva and it’s the juxtaposition of Axel’s wasp like angry whine and Slash’s singing guitar that makes it all work..
And I’m back when I first heard them
