Guest Apollo Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 First - just because ONE guy on here is claiming that, doesn't mean that all fans are. So it's not fair to lump everybody into ONE PERSON's statement.Second - exactly!!! You've basically proven the pressure that Axl is under, the scrutiny, etc. YOU say this song is generic and a remake of old songs. Whereas TONS of other posters on here make fun of the song and say Axl is stretching too much, it sounds like it belongs in a musical, his voice sucks in it. So to one fan it's generic - to another it's too big of a departure. So which is?????? One reason Iove it is because it's not like anything else Axl has done in the past. You hate it because you think it's just a bad-attempt to copy old songs. Basically . . . . with some fans . . . .Axl can't win. I'd like for you to engage in a discussion with a hater who feels the song is too much of a departure for Axl and GnR. That's a debate I'd like to hear.Goddamnit Apollo, I always gotta shoot down your ridiculous assumptions and horribly drawn conclusions about my super secret agenda against Axl fans, it gets annoyingI was never attempting to lump a mass of fans into one persons statement, I was just making reference to several posts BASED ON ONE (what a crime) I've read about This I Love and how people who don't enjoy the song are degenerates. I just think it's silly... and thats all that really has to be said. Apparently I need to be more specific? and I have no idea what the hell you're trying to get at with all this talk about what other TIL haters say about the song, I'm pretty sure I'd just end up agreeing with them? Just because I said it sounds like a parody of old GNR ballads doesn't mean I think it isn't a big departure from the GNR sound. A parody is something that makes fun of a more serious piece of art through satire, and it would only sound like what its mocking to an extent. So me saying something sounds like a parody of a GNR song shouldn't indicate to you that I actually think it sounds like a GNR song at all... I can't believe I'm explaining this to a supposed grown man on the internetlolI think you are starting to confuse yourself now.All you need to know is that This I Love is one of the ten best GnR songs of all time.

shotgunblues1978 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) It is a beautiful song and the instrumental is very cinematic, but to me a year plus after the release the best songs on CD are Prostitute, Better, TWAT, Catcher and Sorry Edited January 21, 2010 by shotgunblues1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hilarious.... Poison sucks. You have shitty taste in Music...Don't give it if you can't take it Bro...Clearly you ran out of things to say... you know damn well that it was YOU who used Poison's vocalist as an example for a great vocalist and that all the band's success depended on him. I hate them for years. always will. you've got no spine and your posts seem retarded.this will be my last attempt of trying to reason with you as you clearly only interested in presenting your opinions as facts.

bacardimayne Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Shut up about Poison. This thread is about Axl's masterpiece known simply as "This I Love".Seriously.

AppetiteForSlash Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I believe it's the Chinese Democracy's song in which Axl has put all his soul in. It's brilliant to me. And I think that it has made us cry at least once while listening to it. P.S. 1st post... B) Edited January 26, 2010 by AppetiteForSlash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 TIL is one of my favorite songs on CD right up there with TWAT, Better, and Prostitute. So much emotion and pain in that song. Really powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Wolf Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Many complain about the lyrics, but I love them. It sounds like a poem you'd write for someone you really adore, and with Axl's delivery it comes off as really sincere and emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a poem you'd write for someone you really adore, and with Axl's delivery it comes off as really sincere and emotional.I always thought the songs message surrounded the complete surrendering of yourself to the idea that no matter how much you try to deny it, there is only one woman out there who understands you and that you could love. It's pretty clear why that would come off as cheesey and uncomfortable to some men. I find it absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
