Perjalanan tutorial bersama Guns N’
Roses
Perjalanan tutorial saya kali ini
akan ditemani oleh Guns N’ Roses. Grup band legendaris aliran heavy metal ini
selalu hadir dalam hati dan pikiran saya dalam beberapa hari ke belakang. Entah
kenapa, selama seminggu ini saya selalu teringat dengan suara lengkingan Axl
Rose dan petikan senar sang gitaris, Slash, dalam membawakan lagu-lagu hits
mereka.
Guns N’ Roses awalnya dibentuk pada
Maret 1985 oleh Axl Rose dan gitaris Izzy Stradlin dari Hollywood Rose, bersama
dengan gitaris Tracii Guns, basis Ole Beich, dan penabuh dram Rob Gardner dari L.A.
Guns. Nama Guns N’ Roses sendiri diambil dari gabungan nama kedua band
sebelumnya, L.A. Guns dan Hollywood Rose. Seperti grup band lainnya, Guns N' Roses, pemenang Grammy
Award yang telah menjual 100 juta kopi album ke seluruh dunia juga pernah mengalami pergantian personel (formasi band) beberapa kali.

Banyak lagu-lagu GnR yang layak
diperdengarkan selama dalam perjalanan. Empat jam perjalanan pada Jum’at malam
dari Bandung ke Tasik yang akan tiba di Tasik sekitar tengah malam, kemudian menunggu
bis kecil di terminal Tasik yang akan membawa saya melanjutkan perjalanan selama
kurang lebih dua jam menuju Karang Nunggal tentu akan memberikan “pengalaman”
tersendiri dalam menikmati musik cadas ini.

Mendengarkan lagu-lagu GnR membawa
kenangan kembali ke masa lalu. Era tahun 80-90an, masa kanak-kanak yang sudah
terbiasa mendengarkan lagu-lagu beraliran keras (Rock, Heavy Metal). Keras (berisik)
namun enak untuk dinikmati. Kompilasi lagu-lagu hits yang telah saya siapkan diantaranya: "Welcome
to the Jungle", "Patience", "Knockin' on Heaven's
Door", "You Could Be Mine", "Don't Cry", "November
Rain", "Since I Don't Have You", dan tak lupa lagu yang juga
saya sangat suka, "Sweet Child O' Mine", akan menemani saya nanti malam

She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh,
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?

Sweet child,
Sweet child of mine.
