LikeADog93 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) I personally love that song!! In my opinion, it represents what GN'R is all about, and that is straight ahead, stripped down, no nonsense hard rock n roll. I've seen two different lists that have Shotgun Blues ranked in the bottom 3 of all 30 of the UYI songs. I guess some people think it's immature, but I would definietly put it in my top 10 UYI songs. Do you guys like it or do you agree that it's a bottom of the line GN'R song? http://www.guitarworld.com/readers-poll-best-guns-n-roses-use-your-illusion-song http://www.guitarworld.com/gnr-blog-ranked-list-all-30-guns-n-roses-use-your-illusion-songs Edited June 18, 2016 by LikeADog93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Always liked it but it's one of the weaker Guns tunes in the catalog imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modano09 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 One of the last songs on the Illusions I got into but I like it. I'm surprised how many Illusion songs I liked that are considered to be weak songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenYou'reTalkinToYourself Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Maybe the worst UYI song together with Next Door to Hell (and My World?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitha_whiskey Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 My least liked GnR song. No specific reason, I just don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Always that it was a good song. I like it more than it's similar peers like Perfect Crime, Garden Of Eden and Right Next Door To Hell. Gonna listen to it now.. Alexa, play Shot Gun Blues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cantona Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I used to hate it but i had to kill it Now it's one of my fav's from UYI2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) I love Shotgun Blues, it's just up against a lot of really great songs from that album. You wouldn't put it ahead of many of the other songs but it doesn't mean it's not liked. Edited June 18, 2016 by MillionsOfSpiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano09 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Illusions are my favorite GNR albums and I didn't really get why so many people thought it should have been 1 album without the filler....but listening to them lately, they really are all over the place. Over-produced at times, rock, blues, ballads, whatever You Ain't The First is, whatever My World is, a cover song, two versions of the same song and songs written 6 or 7 years prior. It comes off like an album that had to be a double album because everyone in the band had songs they wanted on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I like it in the same way I like Get In The Ring, fun to listen to when it I hear it, I won't skip it but I won't go out of my way to listen to it either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. It's a nice background tune imo, but not something I'd ever crave to listen to like Coma, Sweet Child, Rocket Queen etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendez Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think Axl's guitar tone sucks on it. I don't like the intro very much, but it's an alright track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Axl's rasp is back I hope they consider it for the NITL tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 A bit of a filler with shit lyrics, but it had a good guitar solo and a good Axl scream Still better than some songs on CD if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Love this song! Axl's so aggressive singing it! I love the lyrics! I would love to hear this live! This is Axl as his best when he's pissed off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
