“One In a Million” has racial, homophobic and xenophobic insults.
Guns N ‘Roses guitarist Slash later admitted having conflicting emotions about recording of the song, telling Rolling Stone in 1991:
“I didn’t think it was cool, but Axl was very adamant in expressing himself.” He added, “I don’t regret doing ‘One In A Million’, I just regret what we went through because of it”
See the lyrics below:
“Down to sixth and L.A.
Maybe your greyhound
Could be my way
Police and niggers
That’s right
Get out of my way (…)”
“Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they’ll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran
Or spread some fucking disease”
