WhazUp Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For me it has to be:1. Street of Dreams outro - I love Axl's vocals with the kickass solo behind it2. Bucket's TWAT solo3. The last couple of minutes of Catcher In The Rye 4. The bridge in Better is sick, I wish there were more hard rocking moments like this throughout the album5.

The outro to ProstituteWell for me there is a ton and that usually change everytime I listen to a song.But the chorus in Shacklers, the Nah Nah part in CITR (i dont know how else to describe it haha), Robin's solo in Better. And the scream that welcomes you to Chinese Democracy. Edited January 23, 2011 by Lose Your Illusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great song.Don't be disappointed. Music is all about personal preference.I personally believe Catcher and This I Love are terrible songs. I also don't have a lot of time for November Rain.Give me Nightrain, You Could Be Mine and There Was A Time any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CITR and TWAT are the only two songs on CD I consider good enough for a GNR record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC185 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The 'no-one else is stopping you...' bit from Shackler.Street of Dreams outro.The last two thirds of TWAT, the song bit of that song is fairly mundane and then it all kicks off.Second chorus of Sorry after the little delay is pretty killer as obviously is the heavy part of Better.I also love the bit where Axl goes really high on 'salVATION' in Riad. Lots of little nuances like that I could probably pick out if I was listening to it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavgnr Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I love the whole album but for me axl's vocals and the solos at the end of twat amaze and engulf me every time I listen to the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- antem Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 the solos of TWAT, intro of Shackler's, the first lines of This I Love, and the outro of Sorry, just to mention a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunns5 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 the two things out of the whole album that really annoy me, is the long belated boring intro to Riad,and IRS. it just doesn't have the punch I thought the studio version would have, maybe its axls vocals or something but the rest of the album is great.

The last couple of minutes of Catcher In The Rye 4. The bridge in Better is sick, I wish there were more hard rocking moments like this throughout the album5. The outro to ProstituteChinese = Bumble's rhythm guitar part fills, all the nice guitar lead tradeoffs, the "gang of Axls" vocalsShackler's = That riff break in the middle is all rage. I love it.Catcher = Opening background vocals, the nice "You decide so I don't have to" bridge, spacey synth/drum machine break fading out to classic riffs with "Nah nah" chorusBetter = Exotic tom fills during chorus, the "No" vocals layered on top of the chord progressionsTWAT = Bucket steals the show on from other great moments, good example of how the best leads aren't necessarily the ones with the most notesStreet of Dreams = Dizzy's key parts, Tommy's bass lines, Axl's soaring vocalsProstitute = Gotta go with the final verse buildup and outro here, great way to finish an album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Good topic. Here is my list in no particular order. There are so much more. I've been spinning CD since it came out.1:23 in "Chinese Democracy" with Axl's trademark growl that basically kicks off the record. It gave me goosebumps when I first spun it in my car on the way home from Best Buy.3:52 of the same song. The outro is epic. It took me forever to make out what Axl was saying.:11 in "Shackler's Revenge" when the words start, basically. It's wicked.3:39 second solo in "Better."3:58 in the same song." It sounds like "no, no, no" over and over and then goes to the last verse. I just love the layered audio track over it. 3:36 and on to the end of "Street of Dreams." It gets quiet and then just wails. Man, this is probably my favorite thing to listen to on the entire record.3:20 in "There was a Time." I love the whole "Didn't wanna know it all..." part. And then4:25 solo in the same song.2:40 in "IRS." It's killer. 2:32 solo in "This I Love." It really harkens back to the more soulful stuff of Gn'R of old.

Chewbacca Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 TWAT's and Scraped's solos and the riffs from Better, especially the one that starts at 2:32. CITR's outro is awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
