Hier ein kleines Schmanckerl vom nun auf März oder April 2010 verschobenen Album, welches angeblich mit «Slash & Friends» betitelt ist und auf welchem der Meister himself mit Friends wie Meat Loaf, Alice Cooper, Chris Cornell, Myles Kennedy von Alter Bridge, Kid Rock, M. Shadows von Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne, Nicole Scherzinger, Dave Grohl von den Foo Fighters und nachfolgend Fergie von The Black Eyed Peas zu hören sein wird.
Holy shit, is it just me or is this man just getting better? The song - although well known - rocks in the new interpretation and not without Axl Rose, a lot more in my opinion, much more than the original version. That gives us a lot to expect for the upcoming album and apparently a tour is planned parallel to the album launch, which I hope will also lead to good old Europe
And as always here in the crypt, the lyrics are included, this time after the jump.
CHORUS x2
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)Just an urchin livin› under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So by me somethin› to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the lineRags to riches
Or so they say
you gotta
Keep pushin› for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble
When it's just a game
You treat it like a capitol crime
Everybody› doin› their timeCHORUS x2
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me that you're gonna believeCHORUS x2
So far away x4
Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said turn me around
And take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind
«Are you blind?!»
I've seen it all a million timesCHORUS x4
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me homeI want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me homeTake me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me hometake me down
Oh yeah
Beat me down
Oh, won't you please take me homeI want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me homeI want to see
Boy, I'm gonna be mean
Oh, oh take me homeTake me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me homeI want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me hooooooome
Baby
