"Nightrain" Guns N' Roses | CME Full Band Fridays

Put those headphones on and crank the volume as high as it’ll go! This Full Band Friday, our friend of the shop, Pat, is back to giving the CME House Band some much-appreciated Axl grease for this rendition of the GN’R classic about a beverage best imbibed within five minutes of being pulled out of the fridge of your local Piggley-Wiggly. Hold on tight—and get ready for a wild ride once Nathaniel and Company pick up speed while playing the holy grail of electric guitars through Magnatone's new Slash Signature 100W Amplifier!

DID YOU KNOW?
Slash describes "Nightrain" as "an anthem that we came up with on the spot". The original idea for the song came when Slash and Izzy Stradlin wrote the main riff while they were sitting on the floor of the band's practice room. The next day, Slash was ill so Stradlin finished writing the music with Duff McKagan. However they did not write any lyrics. The song remained incomplete until one night when the band was walking down Palm Avenue sharing a bottle of Night Train. Someone yelled 'I'm on the night train!' and the whole band joined in, with Axl Rose improvising the lines in between: "Bottoms up!" "Fill my cup!" etc. After this initial inspiration, the band finished the song within a day. According to the autobiography of Paul Stanley from Kiss, the pre-chorus of the song used to be the actual chorus until Rose let Stanley hear a demo of the song and advised Rose to use the chorus as the pre-chorus. The first half of the first guitar solo and the lead intro is played by Izzy Stradlin, while all other lead guitar parts are played by Slash.
