What is GN'R's most atmospheric song?

[lame ass security]

It seems that opinions of atmospheric music varies widely, which is cool.  My take is that it puts me in a strange mind space, like a trippy transcendental vibe.  For me it's stuff like Bowie, Pink Floyd, Gary Numan, or Enya(I know, cut me some slack).  Too many to name.

Estranged for sure. Prostitute is another one that just grabs me. I've always looked at it as Axl's statement on the breakup of the old band and you can hear the pain in his voice in certain parts. 

I agree on both tracks.

I'm surprised no one has said Yesterdays. Especially the energy Axl gave it live. When I hear that tune, mentally I'm driving a 4 speed 1969 GT500 in Malibu. And i've never been to Malibu. 

Theres something about the way Slash plays on that one compared to the other rockers on UYI. He kicks it in during the chorus and Axls vocals just fight back. Then the little bit they used to do live with Dizzy on keys. I just see a sunset setting given the title of the song.

To me, it has to be Prostitute. I especially like the ending, it sounds like a soundtrack for a movie.

10 years ago, almost day for day, I was in a hospital because of a health problem, I really experienced what death felt like for the first time. I had my iPod with Chinese Democracy on it, and I remember listening to Prostitute again and again. It made me forget about the pain and completely grasped me into a strange dimension, especially at night when I couldn't sleep and got a shot of morphine. 

To me, it's the most atmospheric song.
