GNR - Paradise City (previously submitted)

"Rockingest" is all about being unpretentious, blend some angst, mixed in with anger, maybe a little sex all set with a beat that gets pummeled into submission. Many of the songs offered so far are really good rock or blues or thrash metal but my vote goes for "Killing in the Name Of" offered above or what I view as a sister song to "Cherub Rock", "I Am One" or Zep's "When the Levee Breaks".

Let's agree to disagree. The build up makes the climax all the better.
