Out Ta Get Me

"Out Ta Get Me" is a track by Guns N' Roses from their landmark debut album Appetite for Destruction, released in 1987 on Geffen Records. The song showcases the band's raw hard rock energy, blending aggressive rhythm guitar work from Slash and Izzy Stradlin with Axl Rose's distinctive vocals. For electric guitarists, it offers a strong study in high-energy riff construction, layered guitar arrangements, and the gritty tonal style that defined late 1980s hard rock.

  • Songwriting credit is shared across all five band members, Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, and Steven Adler.
  • Guns N' Roses formed in 1985 from members of two Hollywood acts: Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns.
  • Appetite for Destruction, the album featuring this track, was signed and released through Geffen Records in 1987.
Gibson Les Paul Standard
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Slash's weapon of choice, particularly late-'50s specs with mahogany bodies that deliver the thick, singing tone heard throughout 'Appetite for Destruction.' The Les Paul's weight and sustain complement his cranked Marshall, allowing solos to bloom with harmonic richness.

Gibson Les Paul Custom
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Offering a slightly different tonal character with a thinner body profile, the Custom gives Slash an alternative voice while maintaining the Les Paul's core warmth and sustain essential to his signature lead sound.

Marshall JCM800
Amp

Marshall JCM800

The split-channel JCM 800 2205 defines Slash's crunch, delivering natural tube saturation and midrange presence without artificial scooping, crucial for maintaining clarity in heavily driven passages.

Marshall Plexi (1959 Super Lead)
Amp

Marshall Plexi (1959 Super Lead)

Modified 1959 Super Lead amps pushed hard created the iconic raw power and harmonic distortion of 'Appetite for Destruction,' with power tube breakup that shaped GNR's raw, blues-rooted rock sound.

Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro
Pickup

Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro

These lower-output Alnico II humbuckers retain dynamic expressiveness even when the Marshall is cranked, producing a warm, slightly soft attack that makes Slash's tone creamy rather than harsh.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah
Pedal

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Slash's signature SW-95 wah adds vocal expression to solos like 'Civil War' and 'Estranged,' staying true to his minimalist pedalboard philosophy where tone comes primarily from guitar and amp interaction.
