Customer Reviews Going out with a bang Apparently the band members were barely speaking at the time and recorded all of their parts separately. By all accounts, this single, which was taken from the [[ASIN:B000000OTW Interview With The Vampire: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]], marked the end of the Guns n' Roses we used to know. Axl cut Slash's guitar parts and replaced them with someone else's. That was all she wrote for the legendary band, which in the years that followed pretty much became Axl and some guys. The band's cover of the Rolling Stones' Sympathy For the Devil may have been their last track as a unit, but at least they went out with a bang. This is a killer cover song, with Axl sounding every bit like the serpent in the Garden of Eden as he recounts his various misdeeds throughout history. I've never really cared for the Stones, but this is a great rock song, and Guns n' Roses definitely did it justice. The CD single also contains a symphonic track - Escape to Paris - from the film score. I own the movie soundtrack and love the score, but including this song on the single is just an excuse to hit the skip button and listen to Sympathy again. . the break up of the band never i say 1994 the year kurdt donald cobain put a gun to his head and ended that genre[he was on the plane with duff mckagan a couple of days before he shot himself] guns and roses juices were drying up in drastic fantastic in the shpe of a seven minute roaring version of the rolling stones classic sympathy for the devil of off their 1968 album "beggar's banquet] i once were slash say in a interview thAt this single was the band breaking up well slash i can't hear it all i hear it a band finally laying the demons to rest and doing a stomping version of a classic with the eery intro then you've got the 3 minute solo slot by slash and the band going into chaos at the end fabulous. nothing more needs to be said . .
