T.wa.T Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 LIES kicks ass, I like to think of it as an extension of Appetite. Great lyrics, great vocals and we get to hear the band in its sleazy punk fueled form (Reckless Life), down to its bare bones blues roots (One in a Million).UYI 1> AFD> UYI 2> Lies> SI> CDLies is a joke.

wasted Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Lies is not a full GNR album it is like two eps stuck together. ot I feel like CD covers Afd and Uyi. Afd doesnt have the Nov Rain and estranged type stuff. CD has rockers like AFD and Uyi and stuff like scom, dont cry, nov rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useyorappetite Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 It's not fair to compare CD with both albums. I think it's better than each album less fillers. The disappointing thing about CD for me was the lyrics. UYI lyrics were better IMO but i liked his new voice better minus some parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterL Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) mmm.... For me it would be Chinese Democracy, then UYI II, UYI I, AFD, Lies, TSI Edited February 15, 2013 by AlterL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Manson Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'd definitely choose Chronic Diarrhoea or Urinary Yeast Infection.Although I am partial to Apical Fibrobullous Disease.Wait... are we talking about albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GN'R Lies Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The best songs on UYI are better than the best songs on CD. The worst songs on UYI are a lot worse than the worst songs on CD. On that assessment, CD wins by a nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreCC Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I see a lot of people saying Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 had a lot of fillers. To me fillers are good for the fans. It's more songs we get. Even though they're not single material, they're still awesome as fuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GN'R Lies Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Fillers don't make for a great album. Also there was no continuity in UYI. It didn't flow. Was like they recorded everything they had and picked the song list/sequence out of a hat. Release songs like Back Off Bitch, Bad Apples, Breakdown, Don't cry alt, Dead Horse, Bad Obsession (good song, badly executed), GITR, Shotgun Blues, So Fine and My world another way for the fans if need be but not thrown on the album.

jimb0 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If I had UY1 UY2 and CD lined up side by side and had to get rid of one. It would be CD. But...Twat > My World. I'll give CD that. Even if it is filler, it's still music made by some of my favorite musicians. Where as CD only has one musician who was my favorite with a rotating cast of session people and a lot of cut and paste.

alfierose Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I find CD easier to listen to as an entire album than the UYIs. If I listen to the illusions I tend to cherry pick the songs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterman Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Its not better than the Use your Illusions albums, but I think its better than the overrated Appetite for destruction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The UYI albums are so fucking good, I wish they made a UYI3 and UYI4.Chinese Democracy is fucking awesome as well and I wish we had the rest of the recorded material from those years.

Modano09 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I like UYI more than CD, but it's close.I'm a strange one though - if I never hear Appetite for Destruction again I'll be okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Absolutely not.I love Chinese Democracy, but even with the filler on the Illusions, they feature some of Guns' greatest work.There are comparatively "good" songs on CD, but on the whole, stuff like "Civil War," "Estranged," "November Rain," "You Could Be Mine" are on another level.

rudolf1978 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Chiniese democracy is a good album with good songs,thats all.UYI are mighty album with epic songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRose14 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I love Chinese Democracy. It absolutely competes with the Illusion albums, IMO, but I think it's an incredible record that will never get the full credit. It bums me they never released videos and put effort into it that I hoped and thought they would.I don't know if I like it more than appeitite, but I think you're in denial if you don't think it competes with the quality of the ilusions records. Is it better? I'm not sure. Edited February 16, 2013 by AxlRose14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this would be a hell of a debate had those leaked or been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXL_N_DIZZY Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The best songs on UYI are better than the best songs on CD. The worst songs on UYI are a lot worse than the worst songs on CD. On that assessment, CD wins by a nose.Agreed with this except for my conclusion would be that the Illusions (UYI II in particular for me) win by a nose. IMHO "Estranged" and "Coma" are quite possibly the greatest GN'R songs (and therefore some of the greatest songs in rock history) they've ever recorded. Chinese definitely has its moments ("Shackler's Revenge", "Better", "TWAT", "CITR", "Prostitute") but nothing that quite reaches those levels IMHO. Chinese is a very worthy follow-up to the Illusions IMHO though- particulary once folks divorce themselves a bit from the personnel changes (which is admittedly no easy task)...
