This song was often used as the band's show-closing song during the Use Your Illusion Tour and Chinese Democracy Tour.It was also ranked #21 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs of All Time, #3 in Total Guitar magazine's list of the 100 greatest solos of all time, and has won various similar awards over the years. It ranked #453 on Rolling Stones's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".Slash has stated that this is his favorite Guns N' Roses song.In the last two minutes of the song it changes to double-time and the chorus is repeated several times while Slash plays a guitar solo in the background. Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy has said that the song is copy from a couple riffs of Hanoi Rocks. He said the chorus is just the same as riff in "Lost in the City", just slowed down. Axl Rose has often cited Hanoi Rocks as Guns N' Roses' biggest influence. The style of the main riff of "Paradise City" (involving an ascending chromatic riff) has also been used by many former Guns N' Roses members in new projects. This can be seen in Izzy Stradlin's "Bomb" and Velvet Revolver's "Do It for the Kids".
