"Paradise City" is a song by the American rock band Guns N' Roses, featured on their debut album, Appetite for Destruction (1987).

[2] During a 1988 interview, Rose told Hit Parader magazine that "the verses are more about being in the jungle; the chorus is like being back in the Midwest or somewhere."

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' original rhythm guitarist Nasty Suicide can also be seen in the music video for "Paradise City."

"[citation needed] Some publications, such as Ultimate Classic Rock and Spin, have identified the song as one of the band's worst.

[citation needed] The latter designating it as the most overrated in their catalogue, writing "'Paradise City' runs out of ideas halfway through its triumphant first refrain and yet still lasts for six more minutes.

British electronic music group N-Trance recorded a version of "Paradise City" (using the song's riff) for their 1998 album, Happy Hour.

In the United Kingdom, it was the group's first single to miss the top 20 since "Turn Up the Power" in 1994, peaking at number 28 in September 1998.
