Locomotive--most underrated song?

[RichardNixon]

This song rocks. It's easily one Of the band's best songs ever--great riff, solos, vocals, lyrics, it's an amaziong song. Way better and more complex than anything out on the radio nowadays. I wish it were more well known.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. It was a little different. No one does songs like that. I like it, but its not even close to being the best song on Illusions. I was surprised that it was talked about as being epic. I cant believe I'm gonna say this, but I think the song needed more work. It was missing something. Its like Double Talkin Jive: A great song that was missing something. A little bit of "finishing touches".

[RichardNixon]

I thought it was perfect the way it is, a messy masterpiece.

[Rob]

I like the song a lot.  One of my favorites in the Illusions.  I've heard from more than one person that the drumming during the chorus sounds really off.  I kinda get what they're saing, but all in all I think its an excellent song.

[Genesis]

I like the first 40 seconds... Then Axl starts squeaking... 

[mrlee]

I think its a great song, very long though. Great bassline.

[Sakib]

gr8 chorus

I like the song a lot.  One of my favorites in the Illusions.  I've heard from more than one person that the drumming during the chorus sounds really off.  I kinda get what they're saing, but all in all I think its an excellent song.

the chorus is perfect timing, just off beats, it really works.

Jameslofton, i reckon Locomotive is prob my fav from Illusions, the lyrics are THE BEST I EVER HEARD!!

[jameslofton29]

Clintron, you really think that? Not many people think its the best song on Illusions. In fact, I think that if GNR had put their best songs from the 2 cds into one, this 'epic' would not have made it.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I'm gonna say this And i think a lot will laugh but this is the Bohemian Raphsody of Guns N Roses, its a master piece, the only diference is that Borap is a lot well known than Locomotive, The lyrics is just exactly what I think and I guess I think like that cause the first time I read I was 13, I grew up listening this song and Breakdown which are my favorite, they are both made by AXL. 

[W. Botaxl Rose]

Loco-motive is my favorite song of the UYI's & it's really not even close.

[SwedeChildO'Mine]

It's a great song, top 5 in UIY2.

But I wouldn't say it's an underrated song here on this board. From what I've read many people are holding Locomotive as one of tops on UYI2.

But if you mean underrated by an average music listener I'd agree with you.

[Dust N Rose]

I love the extro of the song, especially the piano, but I think breakdown is more underated.

[Skeletor]

The only problem with the song is the chorus, otherwise it's pure perfection. Those are some of my favorite lyrics ever.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Breakdown is way underrated, much more than Locomotive, and yes its not underrated here that we all love Guns N Roses, but for people that usually hear music and not that aware of GNR 

[SwedeChildO'Mine]

Most non GNR fans does not know Locomotive, Breakdown, Estranged & Coma. I bet more people likes songs like Yesterdays ecause it ha a "video".

[Dust N Rose]

Breakdown is way underrated, much more than Locomotive, and yes its not underrated here that we all love Guns N Roses, but for people that usually hear music and not that aware of GNR?

You're right 

[Jamie]

Locomotive is definitely underrated, but I don't think it is the most underrated GnR song, I'm thinking more, So Fine, It's So Easy, and Don't Damn Me.

[Bridge]

Most non GNR fans does not know Locomotive, Breakdown, Estranged & Coma. I bet more people likes songs like Yesterdays ecause it ha a "video".

"Estranged" has a video too.

[Doc Emmett Brown]

The ending/outro always sends me to heaven.   'Love's so straaaaaange'

The only complaint I have with the song is I like Axl's vocals in it  .  I'm not asking for a WTTJ voice, just something better than this nasal voice.
