Nightrain

July 29, 1989

Nightrain (English for " Night Train " and " night rain") is a song by American hard rock band Guns N ' Roses. He appeared on the debut album Appetite for Destruction and was it coupled out about two years after its publication, in July 1989 as a single. The song reached number 93 on the Billboard 200 and was the fourth single from the album in the charts.

Background

The song, which was written in mid -1980 by the band, is about a cheap wine called Night Train Express, which was popular with the band members at the time. In contrast, a letter has been omitted from the song, hence the title could also serve as Nightrain ( Night Rain ) to be interpreted in the chorus is sung: " I'm on the Night ( t) rain ... right in the Night (t ) rain ... ".

The single was released after the release of G N ' R Lies and the resulting out-coupled single Patience and was not particularly promoted. Nevertheless, the piece of Guitar World magazine 's top 10 of the best drinking songs of all time was counted.

Performance

The piece is often played live song, often during the addition. Slash wrote in his autobiography: "That song Has a rhythm to it in the verses did from the start always made ​​me go crazy The first time we played it, even, I started jumping up and down - I could not help it. . When we had our huge stage later on, I'd run the length of it, jump off the amplifiers, and lose it just about every single time we played it. 'm not sure why, but no other song we've ever played live made ​​me move like that. "
