Paradise City is a song by American rock band Guns N' Roses from their debut album Appetite for Destruction, released in 1987. Its driving riff and huge chorus helped make it one of the band's signature songs and a long-running stadium favourite, regularly played at sporting events to lift the atmosphere. Online, the clip is commonly used in rugby and other sports edits, where it is paired with crowd cheering and a victory fanfare to mark a win, a comeback or a championship moment.
