This song ROCKS! The guitar work is unlike anything i have heard before....no one has made a song like this...There is alot going on and is layered. Axl's vocals are amazing. If you listen he sings this song about 4 times with a different way all layered over eachother. It is a great tune and a hidden gem as it was never a single so the masses of people have never heard it.....which is too bad.

It's definitely one of their best, in terms of both lyrics and performance.

This is one of the songs, along with Coma, that I direct the GnR haters and Axl bashers to when they say GnR didn't have anything interesting to say  Cool

 You can use you illusion-
Let it take you where it may
We live and learn
And then sometimes it's best to walk away
Me I'm just here hangin' on
It's my only place to stay at least
For now anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away

I really like the outro with the talking then piano. Axl said he didn't like that, or that it turned out bad. Pfft.
fuck yea the outros the best part.

Its surprising to me, that some people believe that Locomotive is an underrated song, it isnt for me, I have always believed that is one of the best o theirs... especially the last nostalgic sad part... ?the solo is just amazing... Slash has done an excellent work there, and axl's lyrics even the last verse "Love so strange" perfectly fits with the mood of the song... I wish there was a video for the song, instead of Estranged, no disrespect to that one, but Locomotive beats it... ? I can only tell to finish this long statement that probably no one will read that Locomotive is the masterpiece of the duet "Slash/Rose" we are missing nowadays....

If love is blind... I guess Ill buy myself....... ?..... .... a cane Wink

I've always loved this song. When I first heard the album I blasted this one a long with a few others often. Killer track, great lyrics, singing, guitars.. total package.

It is a great song, and thats what I love about Gn'R and their CDs... they are all different and unique.  I have been into these guys since the beginning when I was in 8th grade (wow, long time ago) and songs come to grow on me more and more.  The past few years its been Locomotive, Coma, Right next store to hell, instead of the the usual SCOM, WTTJ, etc. 

When I first bought Illusion CDs I would pass over songs like Locomotive, Coma, 14 years, etc., but now this is what I listen too a lot as far as Gn'R.   A lot of people had a problem with the Illusion albums, I love them, and both are different.  I love the diversity.  Locomotive and Coma provide this.  I started listening to Locomotive a lot a few years ago and now always have it on before a night out!!!  It gets my night started!!!!!!!

Locomotive is defiently one of the best songs off of the Illusions.  Might not be my favorite, but it's one of the best for sure. Grin

I had to think about it, but this just might be my favorite GNR song. Period. Some of Slash's best guitar work smoking

I agree,it's an awesome song,well except for the crappy ending peace

Amen, buy another meanwhile I did that  nervous
Also I think is underrated cause only GNR fans knows too well about locomotive, if you ask s.o who isnt a GNR fan they only know dont cry, SCOM and november rain, thats why is underrated.
I think locomotive will be great for a soudtrack of a movie that had a really twisted end  ok
