19AT5 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 For me Scraped and Riad are the two massive clunkers on ChiDem. The former is a complete mess all over, from the awful auto tuned intro to the horrendous backing vocals that run throughout. I fail to see how these 'embelishments' could've been seen as helping to improve the song. I will however give that the solo is quite cool. Never liked Riad from the first time I heard it on a bootleg in 2001. When I saw it had made the final album, I was disappointed! From the Slash/Duff years part 1, I always thought Shotgun Blues was pretty woeful. Also just going to put it right out there and say I think November Rain is crap! Not my thing at all, however the outro is insanely good. Get that some people love the song, but it's not for me. Every band has crap tracks in the locker. GNR is no different. Plenty of good stuff in there though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackamo! Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The worst? I'd say: 1. Get in the Ring (UYI II) 2. Shotgun Blues (UYI II) 3. So Fine (UYI II) 4. Estranged (UYI II) 5. My World (UYI II) Man, II sucks. I is the best. The ending aka from Don't Damn Me to Coma is Guns at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki_Sixx Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 This must be one of the dumbest lists concerning GNR ever. I can understand why someone would put 'Scraped' and 'Rhiad' on a list of 'worst GNR songs', and I'm personally not too fond of 'Human Being'. But those are 2 non-gnr songs and 1 cover. The rest of the list (excluding 'My World' which in my book is not a song per see) are STONE COLD CLASSICS !!! Second mistake was to put 'Madagascar' in a list of GNR classics. Great song, not GNR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some interesting things going on there but the song is swamped in overdubs. Those are not even Guns N' Roses songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome history there ! MTV Awards, probably the pinnacle of cringe-worthy Axl moments ! I'm not even going into the debacle that was RIR '01. I'm ok with it 'standing on its own', but please, let it 'stand on its own' and don't associate it with the real GNR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 What kind of an idiot wrote it?! Perfect Crime, Dead Horse, Reckless Life - they're all great songs, Bad Apples too, fuck him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flayer Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Dead Horse is in no way one of their worst songs but I'd have nominated it for most overrated along with Breakdown on that other thread. Everybody else on here is in love with those two except me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna respond to each one individually, but you've pretty much recapped my thoughts here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
