    One of the most under rated song writing examples of the hard rock or metal era. Civil War by Guns N Roses brilliantly delviers a social commentary without sounding preachy. An epic song and Alexis loved it. ‪@gunsnroses‬

      It does make quite a few political statements that parallel some other songs I know that came before it.

      A friend of mine wrote in my school yearbook that I listen to Use Your Illusion I and II too much, and that I need to get some new albums to listen to!
      I still disagree. I listened to them just the right amount or maybe not enough, even though I had them playing all the time.

    Axl made a very profound statement in an interview with Circus magazine regarding this sound. He said "The only thing that separates a civil war from a revolution is the victor". That line has stuck with me to this day.

    Absolutely incredible album. So many songs that are just in leagues of their own. Civil War, Locomotive (Complicity), Don't Cry (Alternate Lyrics), You Could Be Mine, and Estranged along with other amazing songs such as 14 Years, Yesterdays, Breakdown, Pretty Tied Up, and Knockin' On Heaven's Door, not to mention the hilarious Get in the Ring and the masterpiece to rule all masterpieces, My World. Some throwaway songs, just like any album, but overall powerful, well-made, and just plain rock. 9.5/10. Epic album.

    For me, GnR is one of the great rock tragedies. With all that they accomplished if they had been able to get over their interpersonal sh*t they could have been gods with an unrivaled discography. The albums left unrealized, the concerts left unseen, the Rock left unrolled . . . fills me with melancholy for what should have been.

      No Izzy, no party. He's the unsung hero of the band and a great co-writer with Axl. Since he left the band, just the one album (of original material).

      @@TheTruth-pl3mkI'd argue Duff was more important, with Izzy being #2. Of course Slash gets all of the glory...but he's (Axl) is still hanging on. Voice is shot, but he's giving it the college try. The tribute to Lisa Marie should have NEVER happened...that was a travesty. I'm still rocking out to them - re-living my childhood.

    Axl did use to have a humongous range - I've heard it said of over 4 octaves (that's at least 52 of your piano keys, including the black ones).... One of the most impressive singer appearances, like Bach, Gillan, Dio, Coverdale, Page, Joplin, Streissand - a jaw-dropper, a to-the-knees-bringer, an amazer.

  • @metalmark1214

    A good GnR song. It's certainly politically charged and contains some poignant verses. It contains an entire verse about President Kennedy's assassination. It also deals with the Vietnam War and the battle for civil rights in the US. The line "And history bears the scars of our civil wars" reminds me of Iron Maidens 2 Minutes to Midnight - "Go to war again, Blood is Freedom's stain and the lines "It feeds the rich while it buries the poor. You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store" reminds me of Black Sabbath's War Pigs "Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war, Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor.

    Strother Martin giving the speech at the start of the song. From the movie Cold Hand Luke. The intro and outro whistle by Axl are the old American Civil War song When Johnny Comes Marching Home. The interlude quotes a Peruvian Shining Path guerilla officer. This song are the only one that featured the original drummer Steven Adler. The rest was done by Matt Sorum.
