I'd go, if we are including fake Guns: 1/ My World 2/ Chinese Democracy 3/ Scraped 4/ Shackler's Revenge 5/ Sorry. Don't agree with Shacklers, Chinese or Sorry being in the top 10 worst gnr songs list. Rhiad, Scraped, Shotgun Blues, Silkworms, catcher, get in the ring, My world, Oh My God and Coma (yes coma, it's a full blown snoozer) are all really bad, to VERY average.

I have an intense hatred of ''Chinese Democracy'' the song. Thing is about Illusion stinkers like ''Get in the Ring'' and ''Shotgun Blues'', they at least have the common decency to have Slash's leads which were never less than sublime during the old era.

Walleris Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 In my opinion, UYI albums has a lot of filler and should've never been released and two albums. Hence, this is reflected on my list My World Garden of Eden Don't Damn Me You Ain't The First Oh My God If The World Double Talking Jive The Prostitute Riad And The Bedouins Anything Goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slash97 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I disagree with about half of that list. Perfect Crime and Dead Horse are killer tunes. Anything Goes while the weakest song on AFD still rocks pretty hard. Bad Apples got a nice Stones vibe to it and has a great solo, and Reckless Life is fine. I'm okay witht the rest of the list, though the only GnR songs I truly dislike are probably only My World and lyrics-wise GITR and Shotgun Blues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I always loved Bad Apples. Perfect Crime isn't that bad. I'm one of the few people who thing Rhiad had potential (of not horribly overproduced like all of CD) and I think Dead Horse is amazing right until the Vanishing Point speech. That's a bit of a downer. The rest I can live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooshka Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This I Love should be on the list. The lyrics, especially the rhyming structure, and the vocal performance are the worst. Other songs can be poor, but their low points are not as bad as TIL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-W.A.R- Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) i forgot about Oh My God. i guess that says enough right there that it should be on the list. it may even be the worst GNR song ever. My World was just Axl messing around but i think Oh My God was an honest attempt and god is it bloody awful....Prostitute is one of the better songs on CD though im stunned someone mentioned Coma. i get it may not be for everyone, but the complexity and lyrics should be enough to keep it far away from any worst of list.

Vanishing point speech is on Breakdown funny enough the jack on my speaker wire just broke a few days ago and it has no left channel for the time being so the whole vanishing point speech is practically erased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenouille78 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Like a lot of you, I really like Dead Horse and Bad Apples. As Len mentioned about BA, the humor in the lyrics makes it fun, but if you pay attention, you're also getting an autobiographical glimpse into their lives. My World I just think is hilarious and I don't mind listening to it at all. Anything Goes... The lyrics are cringey on that one. I don't think I'd fight a whole lot about the rest of the list; some of those I flat out skip when I'm listening to the cds. Well, Perfect Crime is alright, the music hits hard, it's fun to rock to, but I skip it 'cause I have little kids and I don't want them to have nightmares!

novemberparadise23 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I happen to love bad apples, anything goes, dead horse, and perfect crime. The two Chinese democracy tracks have their moments but those are probably my least favorite on that album. Anything on Spagetti is a cover and for the most part they are solid. My world sucked that I agree with lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Interesting that no one mentioned One In a Million - thought that song would get a lot of hate. Musically it's just too freaking good to be in any worst list I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertrice Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Coma is a masterpiece. Anything Goes - technically a Hollywood Rose song and killer slide/vox solo My World doesn't have a band so is it GNR Get in the ring is a missed opportunity I won't count CD as a whole I'd say shotgun blues . to repetitive and just blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockerRoller Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 That's straight bullshit, dead horse is the first song I ever learned to play on a guitar and does not deserve to be placed on this list, and wreckless life is actually one of my favorite songs ever written, it dates back to the period of hollywood rose and their super fast double bass drums charging the way forward. Awesome thrashy song this guys a moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it probably will never happen so the song will most likely fade away as their most infamous song and as a black mark in the band's history.

john lennon Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Man whoever wrote that article sucks. I mean, imo some of their best songs are on there, like bad apples, perfect crime, and dead horse. Also fond of reckless life and anything goes.

I agree, both of those songs are brought up to almost passable with Slash's leads. Back when Slash could write very musical / interesting solos and not just blaze all the time! CD is one of the weaker tracks on the album, OK but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendez Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think Riad is a decent song that can be improved. I like the 1st verse guitar riff, and the guitar riff that plays behind the solo. I think the chorus is very catchy, but the rest of the song could do without the "ahhh"s. The 2nd verse guitar riff seems less energetic, and Axls vocals are noticably weaker on the 2nd verse. The outro riff is lacking in comparison to the entire song. Bumblefoots solo is worse than Buckets solo on the demo. Though it is a particularly slow song, I think "Sorry" would have been received a lot better if it 1. didnt have very long verses (meaning it got to the chorus quicker) 2. there was no Pitman (weird high note synth that plays through the verses) 3. if the mix was more dynamic (the quiet verse sounds louder than the chorus 4. if Axl didnt dub his own voice 5 times over each other (and maybe make the vocal melody a little more "melodic" than the spoken word esque thing he does on it). 5. If every guitar during the verses were hard panned to either side (vs mainly the acoustic guitar, you can barely make it out). 6. If Tommy's bass line was a little more interesting (meaning improvised) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The lyrics in Sorry are horrendous. Riad is ruined by its production. There are some interesting things going on there but the song is swamped in overdubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
