Origins

While the songwriting credits are indiscriminately credited to all five band members, many of the songs began as solo tracks that individual band members wrote in the pre-Guns N' Roses era, only to be completed by the band.

Songs

Nightrain

This song was released as a single, the song was not included in their best-of album. The song is a tribute to an infamous brand of cheap Californian wine, Night Train Express, which was extremely popular with the band during their early days, thanks mainly to its low price and high alcohol content. Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Guns N Roses. ... Bottle of Night Train Express Night Train Express (usually abbreviated to Night Train) is the brand name of an inexpensive fortified wine sold in the United States. ...


We were living in the Gardener Street studio, where we had one little box of a room. We had no money but we could dig up a buck to go down to this liquor store. It happened to have this great wine called Nightrain that would fuck you up for a dollar. Five dollars and you'd be gone. We lived off this stuff. Duff - Hit Parader March 1988


According to the band the song was written 'in situ', in other words whilst they were drinking Night Train. According to Slash, the music was first written while he and Izzy were sitting on the floor of the aforementioned apartment. Slash was sick the next day, but Duff and Izzy filled it out in the meantime. Then one night while the band was walking back from the liquor store on Palm Avenue, someone (Slash isn't sure who) burst out with the chorus. The band kept singing it over and over, while Axl improvised the lines in between: "Bottoms up," "Fill my cup," etc. "Nightrain" was born.[11] In situ is a Latin phrase meaning in the place. ... Saul Hudson (born July 23, 1965), more widely known as Slash, is an English/American guitarist best known as the former lead guitarist of Guns N Roses and as the current lead guitarist of Velvet Revolver. ...

The song is notable as possibly the only Guns N' Roses song that could be considered to portray substance abuse in a positive light. Contrary to the band's reputation, most of their songs on the subject focus on the negative aspects of the life style and a desire to escape it.


"Nightrain" was the only Guns N' Roses single from Appetite for Destruction that did not have its own video. A collection of various CD singles In music, a single is a short recording of one or more separate tracks. ...


E & J Gallo Winery, the company that produces Night Train contacted the band after the release of the album to inform them that they should have paid for the right to use the Night Train brand name (it is believed the song title was contracted to "Nightrain" in an attempt to get around this). The company later decided they would accept the 300% increase in sales triggered by the song as an alternative payment.[citation needed] The E & J Gallo Winery is a U.S. winery founded in 1933 by Ernest Gallo (March 18, 1909 – March 6, 2007) and Julio Gallo (March 21, 1910 – May 2, 1993) as E. & J.
