Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before Look at the hate we're breeding Look at the fear we're feeding Look at the lives we're leading The way we've always done before My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars D'you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said "peace could last forever" And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' For their promised land And I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war Ow, oh no, no, no, no, no Look at the shoes you're filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind But still the wars go on as the years go by With no love of God or human rights 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no I don't need one more war I don't need one more war No, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway?
My favorite part of the song is the ending guitar lyc, it just has this mood that makes me picture a battlefield all bloody with the camera fading out.
Amigo te felicito que buenos cover haces, hasta dan ganas de tomar el micro y cantar se oye cómo la original pero sin voces ! tienes ese feeling que tiene Slash a la hora de interpretar, porque muchos tocan pero pocos lo hacen tan bien te felicito.
If this had been available when I was still at highschool 20 years ago, most of us would have gone totally crazy. There was noone around in my school who could play any of these parts... let alone all of them. BTW, I didn't realise that GN'R is still in honour today. I was afraid it was the era of my childhood only. Fantastic work, man!

Espetacular trabalho ! Você escuta o som de todos os instrumentos na mesma altura ... é fenomenal ! Mostrando que essa música é uma obra-prima ! GUNS AND ROSES pra sempre ! Rio de Janeiro-🇧🇷
Hi Man. Great job also here at CIVIL WAR; I saw a lot of your GNR covers and I love them all (thumbs up). I have a question: I think, you recorded each track single for each instrument, right!? Can you maybe send me the drum parts from this one here and also for some other songs? Because we are playing in a GNR Tribute Band and our new drummer just can start at mid/end of february. Since then we have to do the rehearsals without drums... :-( I would be very thankful for your help !!! Best regards, Izzy

If you remember, what was used for the recording as far as CPU and interface setup, microphones used, signal processing ect. Just curious if you accomplished the sound with a super basic, cheaper home set up or if you sunk a large sum of money into a home studio build?
The playing was really good but the distortion is too much and the signature sound for slash is a smooth distortion, and this one sounds like it's digital. It was really good but if you want to nail the cover exactly as the album you just need to put a little gain over a cranked tube amp and it will make it sound really distorted, yet smooth. If you use pedals or some digital modelling for all of the dist it can sound very digital and it can't capture much character of the guitarist.
Yeah, you're spot on, but that's all I had to work with at the time. I now have a real JCM 800 and the tone is like night and day. Check out my more recent covers to hear it.
OMG! Freaking awesome! Thank God my friend sent me the link to your channel today! I was totally missing out on a Genius musician! GN'R has been my favorite band since 1992...Civil War is my 5th favorite GN'R song! My 3 favorite instruments!
