Why do people like If The World?

I love if the world, its a 'take it as it is' song, nothing serious or complicated about it, its just a fun cruisy song.

I think that is part of the reason people don't like it. They waited 15 years and got a fun cruisy song? I can see why some would dislike that. I like it. I like the Slither mash up better, though.

its the 'breather' song on chinese, I just like the whole feel of the song but without Bucket it would be dead in the water shit, I would admit that.

I think its a great song I'd like you to write something as good as that its even better live don't believe me ? listen to it in tronto fucking amazing dude

It's not the vocals or the words that bother me, it's the music.

Every time I hear it, it reminds me of porn. Not good porn either, more like fat man on cow or something.

LOL! i actually lold. i mean i was reading what you were saying with the song playing in my head thinking, hey weird for me its the exact opposite i liked the song a lot musically its one of my favorite gnr songs altogether.

.......Then ya gotta listen to him sing and its like stfu are you trying to piss me off?!?? In fact there would be less debate of this band being rightfully in the GNR name if he just didnt sing a note on the entire album. Theres so much awesome music you cant hear behind him, sometimes its good but certain little things he does just piss me off sometimes, if he never sang a note it could be one of the best albums ever, and everyone would go oh yeah thats guns n roses! anyway thats what i planned to say then i read the part about the fat man on cow porn and started laughing because it was very funny.

If you just picture it with your eyes closed with the song playing and you dont laugh theres something wrong with you.

The fact is rhiad is the shittest song. Why so any "ahhhhs" write lyrics axl. And lost complete respect I had left for the song when I heard they stole the intro off some other band. Pathetic its not coldplay axl its guns n roses!

It's a cool change-up. Do like the use of the air-raid siren effect. Not sure about the la de da part, as it reminds me of that M. Faithful part from Metallica's Memory Remains, but do like how that part canvasses across the speakers. Also, is there one song that everyone can agree is awesome from the album. Just seems like so much variation in opinion. :shrugs:

I think the one song we all agree on is T.W.A.T.. I haven't heard anyone complain about that song.

I love it how people have different favourite ones rock2 tells a lot about the record...something for everyone!

I agree with this. And it's amazing that with how different each song is from each other, I only really dislike one song.

Twats my favorite. It is weird how nobody seems to criticize this album the same. It seems like half shit and half awesome because everybody seems to like half the songs and hate the other half, but theyll tolerate it because its Guns N' Roses. But thing about it is that nobody seems to have the same opinions on the same songs over here and thats kind of interesting. Something for everyone definately. You might hate a few songs but theres something for you on it for sure cant argue with that. I really hate sorry. I mean if you start a song off with lyrics like "You like to hurt me you know that you do" automatic mental response is "GAY" skip.

The rest of the song after that could have saved it but you cant just pretend that shit didnt happen! I can definately see where it is liked though theres a good songs everywhere on this album hidden within bad ones.

Other than that i hate This I Love and Madagascar. Just whining. Axl fucking Rose shouldnt be fucking whining like that! OK its totally cool for a few songs, like the odd November Rain and Estranged, but not half the fucking album! Its exactly half ballad half metal, if not even half metal. Prostitute is interesting enough musically that it may pass im just mad the guitar solo wasnt longer which i suppose could be considered a good thing but the endings just so very peaceful! :)

Seriously, I think this is the worst song that G'n'R ever released. I love the whole album, except for this turd.

I would much rather listen to Just Another Sunday and My World back to back, on repeat, than to suffer through that horrible porn music reject again.

I just don't get why it's so highly acclaimed. Can someone please explain what I'm missing? Besides a brain, I already knew that.

Because other people like it, it's worth making a thread about how you don't like it? What are you? 9? People like what they like. It's just a matter of taste.

I enjoy its vibe, it makes me think of a desert at sunset or something... It's relaxing and the spanish guitar, particularly the harmonies are beautiful to listen to and exquisitely executed, the vocals are really clean, and I quite like the simple sentiment... it's one of my favourites on the album. I hope I have answered your question.

+ 1000

I also think that the solo is probably the best solo on the album.

The only thing that i like in TWAT is the big solo,the rest sounds to me so boring,especially the intro sucks,i dont know whats wrong with the intros in some songs of CD but some are crap really.

I think I might be the only one who actually likes the intro, rmakes me think of an angel choir haha, anyways, I think it's better than the demo. My favorite song on CD, REALLY fond of it.

If you understand If The World and why it was written you will respect it.

Wow, please enlighten, sounds fascinating !!

Not to sure I agree though, as that is a minor point to my personal disliking ! But go on.. I wanna know..

I Like the intro too, Reminds me of the halo 3 menu music.

Yes, I am 9. When you find something recent to talk about, besides another stupid DJ farted article, come back and talk.

Throughout the whole thread, people have discussed their opinions. It's made some people laugh and some people a little angry. But, it's only made one person whine, and that was you.

In case you haven't noticed, there isn't much to talk about recently. I think that this thread did a pretty good job of giving people a place to express their opinions. I've expressed mine, but nowhere did I criticize anybody for disagreeing with it.

I'm sorry that somehow you managed to get all butthurt about it, but thank you for such a mature response. It gives us 9 year olds something to look forward too when we grow up.

I'll agree with you man, it is deffinetly one of the worst songs GN'R have released. I used to think the same of Shackler's, but as I grew older, I realised how fucking amazing it is.

Yeah, that Slither version is really good though. I hadn't heard it before because I didn't like the song or Velvet Revolver, but it's a lot better than either song on it's own.

Axl was right when he talked about CD in Jan 2006 and said there is something for everyone on it. Some people love certain song yet hate others etc... but there is pretty much guarnateed to be something you dig. I personlly can't deal with Scraped and Rhiad and fine ITW interesting but far from my favorite.... but I listen Better, Shacklers, TWAT, and IRS almost everyday at the gym... just can't get enough of those tracks... everyone likes something, no one is right or wrong

At least has a good solo.But what if everyone here opening a thread like this ,dont make sense to me, ex."Why do people like Scrapped?","Why do people like Prostitute?","Why do people like The blues".nah. :sleeper: :sleeper:

Probably because we have absolutely nothing else to talk about with the band hibernating again.

why do people like the album period.

Because it is leagues better than anything else out in mainstream music today.

I have been a Guns-ONLY fan for 18 years, but I think 21st Cenctury Breakdown by Greenday and the latest Foo Fighters album are better than Chinese Democracy. For all you morons out there who think advanced, technical geek-music is COOL because "Slash can't play it", listen to Foo Fighters. They understand that they can't abandon the good melody in order to show off. Still, it's quite complicated.

That's your opinion and I respect that.

I personally couldn't care less what Slash can or can not play, I love Axl's vocals.

Hell, it could be Stevie Wonder on piano and Little Richard subbing for Tracey and Roberta, as long as Axl's on vocals, I will always accept it as Guns n' Roses.

Dude, I don't know about these guys but -- the good melody is exactly the reason I like Chinese Democracy. It's not the Buckethead solos (although they're cool too), it's the depth these songs have. I don't want to start a fight here or anything, it's just a matter of taste but when I listen to 90% of the songs on Slash's solo album, or Wasting Light (The new Foo Fighters album you liked) I really enjoy the songs but I know Most of those songs are meaningless to their writers, most of them don't mean squat to them, it's just a cool tune. Of course I like it all but the fact Axl went through shit and hell while writing those songs in Chinese Democracy, I think the result came quite deep and dark, it's a fucking dark album. I know This can sound gay in a certain way, but sometimes generic rock is enough, ya know? I'm not saying Slash's work is bad in any way, I'm just saying Axl made an album that actually meant something to him, with songs that are completely different from each other, they're not all based on riffs, they're not all talking about Rock N Roll, women and sex. You can say it's corny or gay, whatever, it's just an artsy and kick-ass album, in my opinion. This is the opinion of someone who knew and liked some GnR songs before Chinese, but through Chinese became a huge fan, and got to know the rest of GnR's material. Don't get me wrong, I love rock n roll, my favorite bands are AC/DC, GnR, KISS and Motorhead but I recognize the musicality in Chinese Democracy...

I gotta say I'm not a big fan of ITW vocals.

ITW and Rhiad are the only songs I skip sometimes. Rhiad mainly cause of the long intro.

so funny, I think ITW vocals are so damn good. especially live, what I`ve heard. CD is awesome album, everyone has their own opinion about it....perfect. Love this, hate that....just the way it should be, You dont hear people saying its ok, decent. Love hate thing, like always with Axl Rose and Guns n Roses rock3
