Estranged Reality Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I really like Going Down. It definitely sounds like a Stinson song, though... he should have put it on his record and asked Axl to do backing vocals on it if they didn't intend to ever release it under GN'R.

Stoymatic Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Going down sounds like a late 90s alternative jam. Doesn’t have a GnR or Axl Rose sound, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I never noticed before listening to that cover just now, but the Crash Diet solo sounds like the basis for Double Talkin’ Jive’s extended live intro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just soooooo bad... Hilariously I’ve seen several people (mostly places like Reddit or YouTube) say it’s their favorite song on CD. It sounds like a Buckethead song they picked to do vocals on.

wasted Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I assume it was on the second half of CD. Just part of an album that never got released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinson was kind of the Izzy of the CD era. One song on CD is his, Riad. Then going down coulda been like 14 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefish18 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I could see Izzy singing this - I like it alot. Hell, Duff could do it as well (although I'm not a fan of his voice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prove it; record yourself listening to My World on repeat for over an hour, upload it to Youtube, and share it here. Don't forget to mention how much you dislike Scraped in the video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoymatic Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 What makes everyone hate My World so much? Is it because it sounds nothing like any other GnR song? It's basically an outro to a double album. What could have made My World a better song? Or even a full length track? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nonsense lyrics over a directionless and plodding beat with random screaming and sex noises mixed it. I don't see any value in the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldek Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I like My World. After all these years, and looking back, it's funny how it sort of bonds with OMG and Silkworms type of sound, thus proving that Axl really was into experimenting and getting serious with industrial. I believe he trully was gravitating towards that kind of sound and Chinese Democracy, suffering from its creator's swing of musical influences, eventually became the vehicle that picked up passengers from different nationalities, got them all together without really trying to make any sense of it and hoped for the best - you get rockers, ballads, epics, industrial, guitar solos, questionable beats and a whole lot of other stuff that's going on in there. I dig it. All of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any value in the song. Right, but I feel like that was done purposely. An outro isn't going to be like a full song with a course and stuff. I think it made people curious, people who may not have normally listened to GnR. If someone who wasn't much into hard rock but liked something that sounded futuristic at the time, it would have had them asking for more. I would have liked to hear My World done as a full length song. I know it would have turned a lot of GnR fans off, but it would have brought new fans into the fold. Fans who were more alternative than classic rock fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans who were more alternative than classic rock fans Its all pretty and fancy in theory but real life is waaay different, people whos been part of the industrial/alternative scene would never ever turn into GNR fans just because theyve put some electro influences in some songs, they would still call GNR a posers grandma band, specially during the 90s, when the alt scene was really tight. It didnt work even after the release of CD when people and the alternative scene was super open minded so imagine the catastrophe it would be in the 90s. GNR would have nowhere to go as the rock fans would lose interest and the alternatives would still find them lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finish Don't Cry Alt. and then suddenly this thing blares out of the speakers and I'm like wtf is this. I thought it was fascinating, especially considering it was a complete 180 to the rest of the album. It's mental. I don't get why it gets so much hate, it's just Axl having fun in the studio. People take it way too seriously and therefore miss the point entirely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists make changes to whatever it is that they do. That is what My World was a sample of. The band was experimenting with a different type of sound, and it sounded different than any other song they had made. Artistic progression usually results in better music over the course of time. There have been so many bands that have had continued success after making the transition to a different sound, and GnR would not have been an exception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Boy Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 i feel kinda sorry for Axl that the 2 songs people consistently say are the worst on UYI are both ones which he pretty much created himself My World is him pissing around with synths on mushrooms, and Shotgun Blues is him on guitar attempting to do a British Punk song And everyone just cringes when they hear these efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
