I couldn't really rap(still can't.) so I'd mostly just repetitively say the chorus. Listening to it now its very slow and wouldn't be particularly difficult...so yeah. Pretty autistic. I absolutely can't listen to this song anymore. Can't remember the last time I actually did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Day 30 I had to go way back for this... Much of the pop stuff I was listening to in my childhood and preteens is still pleasant for me to hear. What I can't stand from that era (early 80s) is some of the popular "rock" songs, especially "rock ballads"/power ballads. Scorpions ballads were the most popular here (still are often played on the radio). They were played at every school party and I had them on cassette. When I was 14 I hated them already and I can't stand them ever since, this one in particular: --- November Rain doesn't fall in this category for me. It came when I was older, I thought it was a definitely far superior song than the ballads I'm talking about, but I never really related to it or liked it much and I always couldn't stand watching the video. For some strange reason though I like listening to the stripped down demo versions of it. Edited May 15, 2017 by Blackstar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy14 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Day 30 I also couldn't listen to Don't Cry for a few years, but not because I didn't like the song. There's a funny story of me being in a pub with a couple of friends and one of them wanted to play the song on a jukebox, but wasn't really sure how to use it. So it resulted in Don't Cry being played over and over again for around 45 minutes when finally somebody got really pissed off and turned it off. I will never forget the embarrassment when we heard the first tones of the song for the 5th, 6th, 7th, xth time and realized that "here we go again". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the demo versions of NR too, until they get to the again and again bit The live Argentina 93 version is good for me too, I would love to hear it played that way again. The album version is something I always skip and so wasn't looking forward to hearing it live for the first time but it ended up being a highlight for me, even though it's not a favourite of mine. SCOM is much higher on the list of annoying GnR songs for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I like this one. Well paced, simple as much as it should be and Axl and Slash are great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you know what bugs me the most in the song apart from the focken stupid video, the no groove and the length? The drumming! It is SO dull and boring, sounds like a drum computer thing (whatsitcalled) and is totally uninspired. He hits his drums whenever it is the wrong moment to do so. Matt's drumming is fucking disturbing me. Sorry. Had to let it out somewhere. I also remember I always felt like that about the drums in NR, they bug me for 25 years now, man. Terrible! Ahahaaa..yes indeed! I hate Sorum and I cannot help it! When people go on about how they should bring Sorum back I am like 4 hours ago, Blackstar said: For some strange reason though I like listening to the stripped down demo versions of it me too, have not listened to them for a long time but I always liked them more than the final version. 4 hours ago, Andy14 said: There's a funny story of me being in a pub with a couple of friends and one of them wanted to play the song on a jukebox, but wasn't really sure how to use it.

And it reminds me of some of my friends who managed something similar in the past..but I have to say they never took it that far And yeah I also often skip SCOM unless I am listening to vinyl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Still loving you. And yeah, it is of lower quality musically speaking than NR. 5 hours ago, Andy14 said: Day 30 I also couldn't listen to Don't Cry for a few years, but not because I didn't like the song.

Haha I never liked U2 anyway. Bono always sounds like he urgently has to go to the loo. Sorry bout that. But it's true and I really don't wanna listen to that. With or without you got overplayed so badly too that I probably know the lyrics by heart without wanting to.

I love that song because it fits what I have gone through in my life, and still am going through to some extent. I never thought of it as NuGuns, as long as it was Axl, it was GNR to me. I know a lot of people don't feel that way, but to each his own. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Day 31 I don't wanna say I didn't like it, it's always been a good song, I just didn't pay it much attention, didn't listen to it much. But AXL/DC brought it back to my attention. It's one of my top AC/DC jams now. The big homie ain't too shabby either.
