TombRaider Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is it me or a large number of GnR fans seem to detest So Fine? Why though? I won't say it's a great song, because it's not, but it's certainly not that bad and I just don't see why it elicits such a negative response, at least here.

Guest Len B'stard Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFF, So Fine is a belter, what part of it is bad?!?! Love Duffs verse, they were cool as fuck with that, thats GnR tryna do a fuckin' Johnny Thunders track basically, in a stadium rock setting. 'Yeah i think you know where that comes from, guitar, c'MAWWWWWN' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Some people don't like light hearted songs and want a proper rock fix. Admittedly sometimes skip over because of this reason whereas others can come off as just a chill number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Love the song! Got to hear Duff sing most of it when I saw him a couple of years ago before the hall of fame. Really cool moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I used to like this song when I was 12.Now not so much.So Fine, Get In The ring and the whole TSI is the only GNR material I can't stand to listen to anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's a bit naff but I like the music a lot, Slash's solo is a personal favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Everytime i hear Get in the Ring it's like i'm 11 years old again and Axls stickin' up for me, 'you been rippin' off the fuckin' kids while they been paying their hard earned money to read about the bands they wanna know about!' it was like 'yes, yes, YES!!

DR DOOM Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Fair enough, but I'd punt Get In The Ring, Shotgun Blues and My World before So Fine.That's just me though.Keep it DOOMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's talkin' about me, he's talkin' about me! This. That's why I don't get the hate for Get in the Ring. It was so cool back in the day, like you say, Axl sticking up for us, us against the rest of the world sort of thing. Still makes me smile every time I hear it. Maybe that's just nostalgia though...OT: I really liked So Fine too, a nice, softer song, and I played it often. I don't think it's one of their top songs, but I still think it's okay, doesn't bother me. So no, don't get all the hate for that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Vocals mimicking guitars, or vice versa, is shit. That's why the beginning of Better is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardNixon Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 When I first listened to "So Fine" 20+ years ago I never liked it and would usually skip it. Now, however, I really like it--it's pure Duff, a punk balled with a great solo and I like Axl and Duff harmonizing. It was a precursor to Duff's underrated solo album, Believe in Me.

Maybe that's just nostalgia though...To be honest you're reading a little too much into my post that was more highlighting the silliness of my 11 yr old self as opposed to any actual affinity with Axl ranting at a bunch of reporters. It was cool back in the day cuz, lets face it, he's cursing and being lairy and when you're 11/12/13 or rather when i was 11/12/13 i thought that was a really cool and big and clever thing to do, to tell everyone to go fuck themselves and moreover, my inner moron is still alive and well and kinda still likes that shit. To be really frank, when i first heard Get in the Ring i didn't know you could talk like that on record, i was at that age still where i thought cursing and cool were the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think it's just the Metallica fans spam/trolling again.Not but seriously. The UYI II playlist is horrible. So Fine shouldn't come after Locomotive. Locomotive should've been the closer.The playlists of all Gn'R albums, except AFD, are pretty horrible. Songwise UYI, UYI II and CD havmore quality than AFD.

sweetness Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Everytime i hear Get in the Ring it's like i'm 11 years old again and Axls stickin' up for me, 'you been rippin' off the fuckin' kids while they been paying their hard earned money to read about the bands they wanna know about!' it was like 'yes, yes, YES!! He's talkin' about me, he's talkin' about me! Yes.I absolutely love that song, its so corny and over the top and in a sort of adorable way. People interpret the "rant" in the middle as if Axl was furiously tearing these magazine people a new asshole but really I don't think it could be any more obvious, they were just having fun."I doooont like you I juuust hate you I'm guuunna kick your ass!""and in this corner, weiging in at 850 pounds, GUNS N' ROSES"Fucking poetry. Get In The Ring has to be the most fun / happy GNR song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
