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? 21 hours ago, Stoymatic said: Completely agree. It truly is different than anything else GnR at that time. I also do not understand all of the hate. 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.

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. I gonna point this out to see if anyone else agrees.....Everyone refers to My World as an "Industrial Experimentation" in music for Axl....But....has anyone else ever noticed how similar that song sounds to a lot of the Insane Clown Posse's work from the Mid-90s to Mid-00s or so?? Axl's vocals in My World could totally pass for Violent J, especially in more recent years....I'll also share this song below...cause this may blow your mind if you are a "young-un" and don't know this..... Slash left GnR around, what '95 or '96, basically due to creative differences with Axl/the offered contract not as a "partner"/wanting to play classic rock style...etc.....Well, this particular song was released in August of 1997, and yes....that is Slash playing the guitar track on this song....but you wouldn't know it if you just heard the riff alone...Don't believe me, look at the Album's credits. So I just wonder if Slash really might have considered going with a more "industrial" sound for some songs possibly, if he and Axl could have put their difference aside....

Stro Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Yeah if only Axl and Slash could have gotten along, they could have put out The Great Milenko Edited August 22, 2018 by Stro 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papashaun Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Since Everyone was on the "Crash Diet" topic earlier on in this thread, whose version do you think is best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Even Scraped does not descend to the horrors of My World - at least it is a discernible ''song'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAR™ Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I've always preferred the Wildside version... Under The Influence was a solid album too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stro Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Wildside has the best version Better solo, the added outro is much better than just doing double time for a minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we truly despise the scumbag Alfred, but didn't he mention something along those lines in his 1st AFD Show interview? Axl was leaning more AFD and Slash wanted to test the waters with a different sounds? Who knows how reliable any of the info he said was, but I am sure at least a few things were true.

This is kind of like when Slash said he left because Axl wanted to make "industrial sounding crap", then immediately after leaving Guns he made an industrial track with Michael Jackson (which rocks btw). I thought that was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propaganda Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Going Down is a great song, one of my favorites of the demos that leaked. I guess now that Tommy's not in the band, it wouldn't make sense to release it with Tommy's vocals, but imagine this song with Duff on vocals...That would rock! I'm not sure if Slash or Duff would be ok to work on songs that were already written by other artists though. So it's not hard to believe that they might save it for a boxset or might be selling the rights of the songs they feel that are weaker to other bands.
