"Dead Horse" is a song by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses. It appears on their 1991 release, Use Your Illusion I. The composition starts out with an acoustic section, which features a guitar riff written by singer Axl Rose that is strikingly similar to that of One in a Million (from G N' R Lies). The electric guitars soon come in for the heavier section which dominates the song. After the final climatic chorus, the opening section is reprised for another bar. The song ends with an audio effect featuring a cassette tape being rewound. Cover of Guns n Roses album Use Your Illusion I Downloaded from Amazon. ...
