Smokin' Cigarettes Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Surely there's gotta be some songs that you think just come out the gates kicking ass and then your interest fades halfway through or at the end whether it be to being progressive changing or songs lasting too long. Here's some of mine. 1. Locomotive (it drags out a little too long for my tastes and ends on a flat compared to how it starts2. Human Being (waaaaaay too long)3. Chinese Democracy (good song overall, just somewhere around the main guitar solo it kinda loses steam and it's time to move on to the next song.Am I missing any?

I'm the complete opposite with Locomotive, the outro is one of the best things GNR has ever done, it's just the middle that could lose a couple of minutes. GNR generally seems to excel at outros (RQ, Patience, SCOM), the only one which comes to mind to me is the studio version of Nightrain, ends just as Slash's final solo really gets going 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin' Cigarettes Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 It's not that I hated the outro it just seemed like they drug the main part of that song out just a little too long. If they had cut a verse out or something and shortened the song by about a minute and kept the outro I might have a completely different take it. I guess what I'm saying is it seems like it takes forever to get to that part even though I know it really doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One In A MillionBreakdownI almost threw breakdown in there but figured the shitstorm that would ensue for that would be more than I'd be willing to debate over. I knew locomotive would be risky too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The opposite of this would be Think About You for me, think the intro is a bit weak, but it gets going by the middle and I love the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broskirose Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Youth Gone Wild, Livin On A Prayer and Cherry Pie drag on a little too long for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEXzilla Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I actually like Locomotive in its entirety but I wish Axl wouldn't have sung at the end and just let Slash solo the end part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 KOHD... It starts brilliant and is the best version of this song till the phone call. I've to scip the end every time.Locomotive is fucking great and the outro is one of the best moments in rock history. Axl's piano and his hypnotic singing along with Slashs leads is just incredible. What I don't really like in Locomotive is Axls voice. Generally I love his voice but in Locomotive it sounds...weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The last verse of both Out Ta Get Me and My Michelle. I'm in the minority but i think Axls vocals ruin the end of Locomotive. The end of breakdown is just unnecessary and adds nothing to an otherwise great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jungle. Great intro, great open lines. Then are are great parts and bit buts it laboured. It's not as free flowing as Easy, Nightain, SCOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Madagascar - the quotes ruin the song. It is such a difficult song to show people because of it.SOD - the ending lines are just mush. "What I tell ya...there's aslfkjunadfijaskdnf....inside of youuuuuuu." It's just annoying.
