From the album G N’ R Lies (1988)
“Mama Kin” by Guns N Roses appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1990. It was first released in 1988 on the album G N’ R Lies. Its best result is #794 on the Z-Rock Top 1001 Songs of All-Time (1990). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #2,040 hard rock song of all time.
"Mama Kin" is Guns N' Roses tipping their hats to Steven Tyler, who wrote it, and they tear into it on G N' R Lies, the second album Geffen put out in November 1988. The credits catch the five-piece at full strength: Axl Rose on lead vocals, Slash and Izzy Stradlin on electric guitars, Duff McKagan on bass and Steven Adler on drums, with the band producing itself.
That lineup was living on borrowed time. Lies, at 33 and a half minutes the shortest studio album they ever made, was the last full record with Adler, who was gone by 1990, and the last they cut as a five-piece.
