They didn't have money, but they had a lot of hangers on and girls () could basically live off of ... things were just too easy. There's an emptiness; it's so easy."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="It's So Easy" )〕 In an Eddie Trunk interview from 2006, Axl said that Duff and West originally wrote the song as an acoustic "Hippie Ya-Ya" song, and that it was Slash's decision to turn it into a rock song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="AXL ROSE 2006 INTERVIEW w/ Eddie Trunk" )〕 McKagan stated that West taught him about alternate tuning, leading the song to have a more distinctive sound, saying "without open-E tuning, that song wouldn't have happened, that's why West has songwriting credit on it." The song is notable for its cowbell percussion and frequent usage of the vulgar word "fuck". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It's So Easy (Guns N' Roses song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
