It started so well
you had it laid out.
you've got what you wanted
right there
You stayed by her side,
through the best times you've had
you thought you had made it
back there
Then something stupid found its way to your head
too late now, but now you know:
All it takes
Is just a minute of your time
A small change in the wind
To make the biggest mistake, you'll know.
All it takes
Is just a whole lotta heart
cuz you'll lose so much
To face the pain of your choice, alone.
You took what you wanted
You took what you could
You gave nothing back
in return
You said it was over.
You gave it away.
You cast her aside and
you threw her away
You felt triumphant, it got to your head
too late now, but now you know:
All it takes
Is just a minute of your time
A small change in the wind
To make the biggest mistake, you'll know.
All it takes
Is just a whole lotta heart
cuz you'll lose so much
To face the pain of your choice, alone.

Where do we go now?
Here, check this out: patient, it takes a while to load.,
There you have it. Classic awesomeness personified.
There you have it. Classic awesomeness personified.
SWEET CHILD OF MINE
Guns N' Roses
Guns N' Roses
WHAT IS IT:
Sweet Child is a song. It is a great song. To be precise, "Sweet Child o' Mine" is a song by the rock band Guns N' Roses. It was released on their debut album, "Appetite for Destruction" on 21st Jul, 1987. "Sweet Child o' Mine" was Guns N' Roses' first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, spending two weeks at the top spot in September 1988.
WHY ITS GREAT:
Well, first off, its great because it was an accident. The band's guitarist, slash, was just messing around, doing 'string skipping exercises'. when the rythm guitarist, Izzy, improvised some chords, and their Vox, Axl, sang out a poem he had written. I quote from one of their interviews (speaking is Duff McKagan, their Bassist):
So there you have it. they accidentally made a hit. the intro lick is THE most memorable lick of anyone who lived in the era. as soon as you hear that lick, you feel this warm fuzziness inside and you think: "alright! Sweet child, i know this song! This band rocks!" the guitars are awesome, and the vocal skills are amazing. the lyrics to the song are great. I'm not sure what it means, but Wikipedia tells me its about his girlfriend, and eventual wife. there are so much more, but for those non-oldie fanatics, im sure you're bored, so i leave this section with a final note. this song got #37 for the top 100 Greatest Guitar Solos.
WHY IT SUCKS:
i hate this section when i review stuff i like. pah. anyway, i guess the vocal skills are hard for some to appreciate. to most, it may sound whiney. but that was the style of the era, and this is one of the best. also, the song doesn't make much sense in the end. the "where do we go now" part seems out of place, and is only good because time has made it so. also, the most commonly heard version of the song is shortened. As Axl Rose said in an interview:
so yeah. most people dont know the full song, and that really sucks. cuz, you're getting screwed. on a light hearted note. i hate the solo. ITS FREAKING DIFFICULT TO SELF TEACH. but pah. all good solos are like that.
MY RATING:
I'd give it 4.5 stars out of five, but i don't have that .gif, so there you have it. 4 out of 5.
SHOULD I, AND WHERE CAN I GET IT:
I merged these two sections because i have the same answer for them. I have no idea. you definitely SHOULD get it, but i don't know where you can. its really rare. i ripped mine from my dad's CD collection, back in the states. i don't know where you can get it here in singapore. try e-bay? lol.

Well, first off, its great because it was an accident. The band's guitarist, slash, was just messing around, doing 'string skipping exercises'. when the rythm guitarist, Izzy, improvised some chords, and their Vox, Axl, sang out a poem he had written. I quote from one of their interviews (speaking is Duff McKagan, their Bassist):
The thing about 'Sweet Child,' it was written in five minutes. It was one of those songs, only three chords. You know that guitar lick Slash does at the beginning? It was kinda like a joke because we thought, 'What is this song? It's gonna be nothin', it'll be filler on the record.' And except that vocal-wise, it's very sweet and sincere, Slash was fuckin' around when he first wrote that lick.
So there you have it. they accidentally made a hit. the intro lick is THE most memorable lick of anyone who lived in the era. as soon as you hear that lick, you feel this warm fuzziness inside and you think: "alright! Sweet child, i know this song! This band rocks!" the guitars are awesome, and the vocal skills are amazing. the lyrics to the song are great. I'm not sure what it means, but Wikipedia tells me its about his girlfriend, and eventual wife. there are so much more, but for those non-oldie fanatics, im sure you're bored, so i leave this section with a final note. this song got #37 for the top 100 Greatest Guitar Solos.
WHY IT SUCKS:
i hate this section when i review stuff i like. pah. anyway, i guess the vocal skills are hard for some to appreciate. to most, it may sound whiney. but that was the style of the era, and this is one of the best. also, the song doesn't make much sense in the end. the "where do we go now" part seems out of place, and is only good because time has made it so. also, the most commonly heard version of the song is shortened. As Axl Rose said in an interview:
I hate the edit of 'Sweet Child o' Mine.' Radio stations said, "Well, your vocals aren't cut." "My favorite part of the song is Slash's slow solo; it's the heaviest part for me. There's no reason for it to be missing except to create more space for commercials, so the radio-station owners can get more advertising dollars. When you get the chopped version of 'Paradise City' or half of 'Sweet Child' and 'Patience' cut, you're getting screwed
so yeah. most people dont know the full song, and that really sucks. cuz, you're getting screwed. on a light hearted note. i hate the solo. ITS FREAKING DIFFICULT TO SELF TEACH. but pah. all good solos are like that.
MY RATING:
I'd give it 4.5 stars out of five, but i don't have that .gif, so there you have it. 4 out of 5.
SHOULD I, AND WHERE CAN I GET IT:
I merged these two sections because i have the same answer for them. I have no idea. you definitely SHOULD get it, but i don't know where you can. its really rare. i ripped mine from my dad's CD collection, back in the states. i don't know where you can get it here in singapore. try e-bay? lol.

Carlos Santana Goodness
I have a song for you here, wait for it to load. it takes awhile.
This is Awesome.
SHOULD YOU GET IT?
Yes. so maybe its not his best track, but since Ultimate Santana combines hits from his recent albums, as well as classics from his band at its prime, a compilation of the guitar master’s best work is a must for any pop fan without Santana's previous work in their collection. Even if you don't like the song, the other tracks in the album im sure you'll love, that is.. if you appreciate good guitar skills.
MY RATING:
When Carlos Santana originally hooked up with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger for 2002’s “Why Don’t You & I,” Kroeger’s voice was relatively new to radio, and Santana playing back up for superstar singers still seemed like a somewhat fresh concept. A dozen Nickelback hits and two similar Santana sets later, the new single “Into The Night” seems to be chock full worn out ideas, but a whole bunch of worn-out ideas can come together beautifully. This is a track that will linger in your playlist for a month or two.
SO WHERE CAN I GET IT?
I got mine from the states, so i don't know where you can get it here, but I'm sure CD stores like CD-Rama and Sembawang will have it. Its quite a big album for santana. again, as a last resort, im sure you can use e-bay.
and there you have it, Into The Night by Carlos Santana, Featuring Chad Kroeger from Nickelback. come back soon, i'm going to review Sweet Child of Mine, By Guns and Roses, a popular oldie.
This is Awesome.
Into The Night
Carlos Santana featuring Chad Kroeger from Nickelback
Carlos Santana featuring Chad Kroeger from Nickelback
WHAT IS IT:
Into the night is a song. A song is an arrangement of musical notes played together, sometimes with accompanied by singing. Into the night is a song by Carlos Santana (Maria Maria; Just Feel Better), with Chad Kroeger (How You Remind Me; Rockstar). Into the Night is about... well, i don't know what its about, but the music video features a man about to jump off a roof when he sees a girl dancing. He falls for her immediately (yeah right) and starts to follow her like the creep he is. Eventually he follows her to a club where he watches her dance, and at the end they dance together. Meanwhile, on a completely unrelated topic, Kroeger and Santana play on the roof of a building. This song is the lead single for Santana's latest album, Ultimate Santana.
WHY ITS GREAT:
Santana plays another awesome solo. No questions asked, its great. Fits perfectly with the song, and the awesome melody, that goes great with Chad's trademark growl. Santana's playing style is strongly latin, and the fast-paced bongo thing fits perfectly with that. There is this awesome breakdown when santana's solo comes in, with the awesome wah-wahing. The whole song in general is the kind of song that stays in your head. (sing: Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay..)
WHY IT SUCKS:
It doesnt really have a climax point. Santana's solo is kick ass, but doesnt quite stand out. its kind of like alot of the same thing. this makes it seem like it goes by really quickly, and it doesnt make much of an impact. The song is probably best only for background music for a late-night party or something. Another thing. Does radio really need more Chad Kroeger? The song sounds like any Nickelback song you care to mention. Quote:

Want some jam? We made it ourselves.
It was a good day at Tiet yesterday. we managed to completely learn one song and perform it. Here. this is the final copy. How You Remind Me, as made popular by: Nickelback. by this point, our vox has already mutilated his voicebox, so the quality is sub par. nah actually i think the whole song needs some work. but hey. its a good start eh? eh?
Its not on autoplay, so oyu have to hit play yourself. listen to it. its good.
anyway, tomorrow im gonna review Into The Night, by Santana feat. Chad Kroeger.
EDIT: lol, i was just asking our VOX about his singing, check this out.
