Patience, by Guns and Roses G ‘N’ F’N R!
Woe unto thee, 11-12 year olds in the 1988-89 school year, spending the months between summer camp ruefully counting the days and playing this song over and over again on the Guns and Roses cassette called Lies with the fake-scandalous insert, and various other bits that aged well or didn’t.
It took another summer before I sang this in front of the whole camp at the annual talent show, a collaboration with two counselors, a violinist, and me, where my specialty was doing the whole rising coda solo bit at the end under the spotlight and whatnot, and that night was still probably my biggest ever audience for a song.
I didn’t do as good a job with the singing part at the end here, but I managed to hit like 80% of the solo and all of the little descending run when the backup singers kick in, etc., etc., this is one of those songs I never stopped playing, little solo bits inclusive.
No additional software instruments on this, mostly because I got excited and finished it before adding bass, or maybe a shaker or something, but the guitars are supposed to carry this anyway, so off we go.
