Iron MikeyJ Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 It's the most classicgnr sounding song on the album, so it's been one of my favs since day 1. It should have been on the mythical 1996 album though, not CD. It almost feels out of place on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I always thought Sorry was the most 'classic guns' sounding song on the album. TWAT has a little UYI vibe too but that was moreso in the demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSoftie Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I thought IRS sounded more classic guns than Sorry and TWAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 That is how come CD is so amazing.SOOO many different opinions and thoughts on the exact situations.Some people think Sorry is the most GnR sounding song.......I think it sounds nothing like classic GnR and think it's the second worst song on the album.For me, Street of Dreams and IRS sound like they are right off of Illusions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I personally don't like IRS all that much. I agree that it does sound classic, but I don't think it would make the cut on any classic album. The old stuff just has so much more attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I personally don't like IRS all that much. I agree that it does sound classic, but I don't think it would make the cut on any classic album. The old stuff just has so much more attitude.Lyrics in the chorus leave a lot to be desired. Axl's killing it in the verses though. Huge guitars with an insane Bucket solo. I also like the quiet/loud contrast in the song. The whole thing has a Zeppelin kind of a vibe, which I also enjoy.It sounds classic Guns in some places, but it's still modern imo. It doesn't truly have enough of the classic Gn'R elements to make it an old school sounding Guns song. Street Of Dreams is much closer to capturing that classic Gn'R vibe imo.

Dr. Who Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I don't understand why TIL gets so much hate. It's a really simple, sweet and beautiful song. It's Axl and a piano which is him at his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Axl and a piano which is him at his best.Music is all about personal preference.Why care what other people think about a song?I love the song. Most GnR fans do not. It is pretty cheesy. But again............I like what I like, and couldn't care less what other people think about it.Why do you reboot so many old threads? How do you even find them?

maynard Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I don't understand why TIL gets so much love. It's a really shitty, emo and dreadful song. It's Axl and a overproduced mess which is him at his worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Someone make a thread about Catcher in the Rye. That was a legitimately good song. I only like This I love live because we get to hear Axl's top vocals clearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Best thing about TIL is DJ's live solo. The song translated much better live (to me) in comparison to the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm glad we have a high quality recording from 2010 of this I love. Great solo, best performance that we have in terms of video, audio, and performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff27 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It's a good song. Seems like kind of song that would fit in to use your illusion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I heard it was originally recorded in 1997 wonder if slash ever played on it ?Was originally recorded in 1993 actually so Slash might've had a bit to do with the earliest versions of it.

ludurigan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 wow its been years since i listened to this\great songall that is good on this song belongs to axlhis melody lines are really terrificthe way he sings is also really goodthis could be an epic song like estrangedbut I am afraid that the song never reaches its full potentialthis band of top-skilled professional musicians that axl pays to play with him can`t take this song to where it deserves to gothis is very clear on the arrangementsthey are acceptable.but acceptable arrangements are unacceptable for a song that is as good as this songthe arrangements dont take the song anywhere near to the places where it could gothe guitar solo is also acceptable but it sounds very subpar when put together with axl melody lines.actually the guitar solo melody is pretty poor when compared to the vocal melody linesin other words, whoever plays the solo didn`t rise to the occasionin other words, if I were axl id call izzy and slash and duff to play with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER PT Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 TIL is a great song.I can understand the "lame lyrics" arguments ... but, lame lyrics doesn't mean a bad song. This song is full of sentiment and mistic energy, and that's more important than lyrics itself.It's funny to see that some of those people who complain about TIL's lyrics and doesn't care about the song's inner sentiment, are the same who complain about buckethead playing guitar without sentiment.

gnrjanus Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 There are jams in 92-93 shows where they play a big piano jam and some of it is still hearable in this i love so slash,duff,izzy/gilby,duff might all have some lines written to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song translated much better live (to me) in comparison to the studio version.omg facepalm worthy opinionbtw TIL solo is the most Slash-ish solo on CD, just sayin'I heard it was originally recorded in 1997 wonder if slash ever played on it ?Was originally recorded in 1993 actually so Slash might've had a bit to do with the earliest versions of it.Axl messing with the piano, that 's all in 93....other vthan that nothing was written at that time, not even the lyrics... Slash has nothing to do with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
