dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Okay, I was listening to you could be mine today and then the other version of Don't cry, which I really like too, and I listened to My World. I don't think I ever really listened to this song, but wtf? Does anyone know the meaning behind this song? Is if just a collaboration of other songs and a woman panting? Is it really Axl rapping or ranting or whatever the hell he is doing? I thought for a minute my cd went off and I had on a radio station. lol Anyway, just never really thought about this song and in the GNR books I've read by Duff, Steven and Slash, this song has never been mentioned at all. It seemed to me like the band was just making a statement as to how badass they were and not to mess with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) That song was like a window to Axls experimental side. Just like Revolution 9 from The Beatles Edited April 19, 2017 by Sosso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stella Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I don't remember where he said it - maybe RIP or something - but IIRC he actually *was* on shrooms and was fucking around in the studio. Probably one of those things that would have been really funny if it had been presented later as an outtake, but at the end of the album it was just so bizarre...which I guess was the point.

Sosso Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Is it true that the rest of the band had no clue that the song was on the album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it just didn't work tagged onto the end of UYI but it does have things I like about it. The seriously deranged lyrics for a start, I love them.

There's just something about Shackler's that's never quite done it for me, I dunno, I think it's where it's placed on CD as much as anything, it seems out of step with the rest of the album, it would work far better on a full industrial album though, I agree.

Yep, that's what I would've preferred, a full on psycho industrial album released before 2003. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That short clip of them rehearsing Oh My God before a show from a few years back with the new guitars over the chorus sounded amazing, dunno if it was just them fucking about or whether they re-recorded it but I'd love to hear a new version of that song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would too as long as the song isn't changed too much. To be honest I can't believe Axl has abandoned that song - wtf?! It's awesome. 23 minutes ago, bucketfoot said: Axl's like some kind of Bond villain, evil genius just forever fucking with us. His idea of a massive wind-up!

Can't believe it wasn't on CD ahead of Riad, Scraped or Shackler's, it's miles better than all three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
