Guns N' Roses - It's So Easy

It's So Easy by Guns N' Roses Song Info

"It's So Easy" is a song by Duff McKagan and West Arkeen and made popular by the American band Guns N' Roses, featured on its 1987 debut studio album Appetite for Destruction. The song was published as the band's first single on June 15, 1987, in Great Britain and it reached number eighty-four on the UK Singles Chart. The songs "Shadow of Your Love" and "Move to the City", featured on the 12-inch vinyl and 12-inch picture disc editions of the single, were written by members of Guns N' Roses while in previous band Hollywood Rose, and were later included on the extended play Live from the Jungle. According to an interview published in Hit Parader in March 1988, "It's So Easy" is "an account of a time Duff McKagan and West Arkeen, and also the rest of the band, were kinda going through. They didn't have money, but they had a lot of hangers on and girls [they] could basically live off of ... things were just too easy. There's an emptiness; it's so easy." There was an original music video made for "It's So Easy", which was their first video ever made; the video features the band playing live in front of a crowd on stage, but later a promo video was made with the original video heavily edited but still showing shots of the band on stage but also showing girls in bikinis and much more. It was not included on the band's Welcome to the Videos DVD because its content is rare and can only be found on the internet. At the time the video was released it was not extremely popular, it was not released in the states, but once Welcome to the Jungle was released the "It's So Easy" video became more popular, but even today its content is very rare and almost impossible to find on the internet. "It's So Easy" is a Guns 'n' Roses live staple, being performed regularly since 1986. It is usually played early in the set. During the Use Your Illusion Tour, it was either the first, second, or third song. During the Chinese Democracy Tour it was played second, immediately after Welcome to the Jungle.

- It's ok.

Lived it back in 1987-88. Good album but now they're just trying to make a $$$.

- Monster Album

I agree this has to be one of the Greatest debut albums of all time. I wore out the cassette of this album nearly 30 years ago. This is a must have.

- Locked N’ Loaded

This is one of the best albums in history. No it’s going to sound even more amazing than it did. We are going to get a lot of demos and potentially unreleased songs. The only disappointment is the lack of Live material. It doesn’t matter though, because this album is godly.

- ...gun’s ‘n f@&;(&g roses rocks!!!

Glad something is coming out, but I’d still like to see the guys put out something new for all of us fans that never gave up hope on this band! We get this, plus they did the live shows too! For all the reviews I’ve read here that were negative, if you don’t have anything positive or good to say, why say anything at all....you don’t have to listen or purchase!!! For those of us who care, and also realize this band saved hard rock at a time when it was really needed, and also lived the same lifestyle, and the music right a long with the band, this will rock! A thank you to everyone in the band for putting this out, the tour, and for settling your differences for all us diehard fans! Maybe you can get us something new as well! I know it would truly rock, and be well received by most all of us. Cheers guys, thanks again, and keep the fire burning, rock on!!!

- Pretty

Dope

- One In A Million?

This will be a great collection but are we seriously acting like One In A Million didn't happend?!?!

- Perfect.

The greatest debut album from any artist ever.

- Welcome back.

Oh boy, I’m hyped.

- Missing a song

Where’s One in a Million at on this 🤣

- Please - Nothing new here

Rehash just buy the roots of GnR an be done with it. Everyone already had Appetite anyways remastered. Not worth the money here .

- November Rain bootleg version

Assuming this is the version of November Rain with Axl solo on piano and vocals from the bootleg, that alone is probably worth the money. Granted, the resale value of my bootlegs is about to plummet, but as a fan I am pleased.

- Gn🎉f R !!!!!

Good compilation Hits and more , Expected!!!

- Awesome !

Songs that were unattainable now are !

- Ecopest

Awesome collection😎 tour on this with Steven F’N Adler and Izzy F’N Stradlin🙄. Enough

- This set will make my bootlegs obsolete!

Looking forward to having official releases of these recordings, and nice to see Shadow of Your Love get some love as a lead single for this set - it's always been a deep track favorite of mine (have had it as the b-side from the Live and Let Die single, as well as from the Hollywood Rose release and other versions). Too bad One in a Million is being left off here (Axl even said a few years ago that he was going to be "deleting" it from the Lies EP) - I get the reasoning, but still, I always looked at it as the lyrics being spoken by a character, like Eminem has often said he does in some of his songs as Slim Shady, and not characterizing the band itself (heck, Slash was fine with it). The Heartbreak Hotel and Jumping Jack Flash versions are lost gems that are not to be missed (I managed to get a now former member to include a couple of bars of Hotel into his solo during some shows before the Vegas run, pre-Slash/Duff reunion). 6/29 can't come soon enough... the songs will come at you in rapidfire! ;-)

- From the looks of it , it appears some songs will be missing from the iTunes release??

On my preorder, it says preordered next to some songs and then next to others there is nothing. If I don’t get the full release, my review is going to drop to One Star. Review has been edited. If it contains the entire release then it will remain at 5 Stars.

- Guns N Roses!

Cool I wanna buy it!!!

- YES

in a time of horrible music.. out of the ashes comes more GNR music ❤️

- Remastered

Really excited to hear one of the best hard rock albums of all time remastered. Demos are just icing on the cake.

- Give it a rest!

Same crappy album today, it was in the 80’s.

- Awesome

Got all their music, it is a nice they are releasing most of it. Good times awesome music, but times pass and we all get older. I still rock it out!

- Greatest Album of All-Time!

Can’t wait! There’s an old phrase that stated ‘music hit perfection in 1974.’ Well, that’s wrong. It hit perfection with this in 1987. Excited to hear some of the new releases. A MUST for ANY GNFNR fan!

- Top 5

Top 5 Album All Time. As close to a perfect album as you can get. Each instrument from each player fits perfectly with each other and as a whole. Bouncing drums of Adler. Next level blues/metal/rock guitar from Slash. Punk infused rick and O/A bass, Duff. And Izzy’s rhythm playing is the guts of the band. And his writing with Axl. Best album to isolate instruments.

- Guns n Roses for ever

The Best

- G’n’f’n’R

Shadow of your love rocks! Interesting sound, way different than Appetite for Destruction. Can’t wait to hear those Sound City recordings. The legend of this era of Gn’R will only grow with this collection, adding new context to a timeless classic. Don’t miss this one!

- Shadow of your love

ROCKS!

- Excited

Can’t wait for a nice clean version of the acoustic jumpin jack flash. Where is Cornshucker?!?! And the fact that they are trying to pretend one in a million doesn’t exists is dumb. It’s a real song, there are people who really feel that way, sure you might not want to be blaring that song in your car driving through some neighborhoods but to just pretend it never was recorded in the first place and not included with everything else from that era is a shame. Let the purchaser decide if he wants to play it or not. The beastie boys felt bad about some of their lyrics they wrote when they were younger and refused to play those songs in concert because they matured as a group and realized they were wrong but they didn’t take them off their albums. Is Axl not going to sing “let me put my love into you” when he’s out touring with Angus? That’s a song that tells the woman “don’t you struggle, don’t you fight” as he talks about being with her. Enough of the PC BS, it’s rock n roll.

- Finally...

G n' R's "Appetite for Destruction" is arguably the greatest hard rock album of all time. I've been looking forward to a remastered reissue for a long time. This is a sound SORELY missed in rock music. The song 'Shadow of your love' is a great track...the fact that it didn't make the original cut of the album shows you the quality of these songs. We can only hope there is an album of new material on the way at some point from Guns N' Roses. Thanks!
