This song has been imprinted on rock fans’ DNA since its release in January 1989.  Made memorable by its exquisitely hummable chorus, it was also known by the amazing riff that opens the track.  Based on three ascending chromatic notes, Slash has maintained the riff’s difficulty to emulate. It has recently been immortalised by none other than Hollywood hot stuff Tom Cruise, in 2012 blockbuster Rock Of Ages.

Buy this song at iTunes or Amazon. The official band site is here.
