classicrawker Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 pretty sure I read where Slash said "Paradise City" was influenced by Skynyrd but don't have time to search for it.I gotta go with...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YiVVpughTMEvidently Tracii Guns claims Slash nicked the riff from that song but as I said I remember Slash claiming the song was influenced by Skynyrd but can't be arsed to go though the 100 plus magazines to find the quote.Wouldn't surprise me though as much of Rock music in general is nicked from somewhere else. Musicians are a product of their influences IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So PC is Black Sabbath meets Lynyrd Skynyrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
