It’s no secret that I love Guns N’ Roses. But one thing you may not know is that I consider “It’s So Easy” to be the most bad ass song ever recorded. It’s got some of the best vocals Axl ever laid to tape, punk as hell and the lyrics are dripping with attitude. When you were hearing this for the first time as a 13 year old in 1987, you knew why they were the most dangerous band in the world.
I had the chance to see GN’R the other night. My wife was in full on bootlegger mode and got some great footage of the band laying down “It’s So Easy”. She even managed to get a few seconds of me schooling the crowd on how to rock around the 2:40 mark.
Enjoy the video and go check out the original. I may even lend you my Appetite for Destruction cassette if you ask nice.
