2. Guns N' Roses – You Could Be Mine (1991)

You Could Be Mine, from Use Your Illusion II, is classic Guns N' Roses and one of the band's biggest hits. It was the first single GN'R released with Matt on the drums.

Matt Sorum says:

"You Could Be Mine stands out because it represents my entry into Guns N' Roses. I remember I had this punk rock rolling beat at the top, and by accident I put that fill on. I threw it in because I was a huge fan of Terry Bozzio and he did that fill but about 10 million times faster."

"We recorded The Spaghetti Incident while we were waiting for Axl [to record his vocals], because we were hanging out doing nothing," Matt Sorum

"We spent at least a month-and-a-half recording those songs, then Axl came in and said, 'I want to release all of it, two albums' worth'. He had to sing vocals on all those songs, so that took another nine months. We recorded The Spaghetti Incident while we were waiting for Axl, because we were hanging out doing nothing."

"We made it look like we were out on the road when we put the album out but that's not the way it went down."
