Gods Favourite Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 ]When I first heard on the radio, some days before the album became available, Ain't It Fun, I knew I was listening to a classic track. It still rates as one of my favourite Guns N'Roses songs ever, even if it's a cover. Its so raw, and real. I love it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEArS2gtYGQOne my favourites also actually, though I tend to forget it. Axl's voice in that song is just so raw and real, as you put it. And the guitar.. Love that song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Not really a big deal. There are legit albums from bands on there... like albums they've put a lot of time/money into. This was a thrown-together cover album. I barely count it as real, so it doesn't even matter. And it's pretty bad anyways.

Young_Gun Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I think TSI rocked! Sure it wasn't a new album consisting of new songs, but some of the covers were elevated to another level. Down on the farm, Since I don't have you, Ain't it fun etc. Killer tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzi your illusion Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) I'd give TSI a vote for worst album title and worst album cover and I think that sways a lot of people. When your flipping through the cd bins and pass that cover it doesn't exactly jump out at you. Music wise I have to say that I've grown to really like over half the tracks on there, upon first listen though I only dug "Since I Don't Have You", and "Ain't It Fun". And as for why CD wasn't listed, If this was a list by Classic Rock magazine they gave Chinese a 8 out of 10 rating and called it one of the best albums that year. So they would be quite hypocritical. Edited March 1, 2012 by uzi your illusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Honestly I would take St. Anger over Kill 'em All anytime, but that's just my opinion of course.I don't mind Sweet Amber and parts of St Anger, Frantic and Some Kind of Monste but KEA is full of classics! Jump in the Fire, Hit the Lights, Metal Militia, Seek and Destroy, Four Horsemen, No Remorse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I really liked GNR's version of Ain't It Fun? I really never listened to any other songs from this cd. Once I found out it was covers, I just never bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanedog Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The second I saw this list included The Doors - Other Voices and Scott Weiland - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, this list lost all credibility to me. Other Voices had some really cool tracks like I'm Horny, I'm Stoned, Tightrope Ride, Variety Is the Spice of Life, and In the Eye of the Sun. The whole album was really cool, but critics like this article just hate it because Jim wasn't on it. Even without Jim, The Doors were still one hell of a band. If you put Jim on that album, people would love it more than Waiting for the Sun or Soft Parade (my fave Doors album).Plus them saying that Scott Weiland's Christmas album was bad is completely absurd. You have go into listening to the album as if it is simply a Christmas album. Nearly every review said that it was an amazing album, and Scott sounds great on it as always. If you give it a try, you'll realize it's something special. It's the only Christmast CD I play in my car regularly.TSI is such a cool album too that is just pure punk rock. It might be their worse album, but that's because all their other albums are legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Devil Hill Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The X Factor? What the fuck? TXF was a fantastic album, better than either Di'Anno album, Virtual XI, and Dance of Death AT LEAST. Bruce Dickinson is my favorite singer, but that doesn't mean the first album he leaves is automatically the worst. TXF might even be better than Bruce's last two albums before leaving Maiden (and those are some fine albums once you get past the awful production).I realize this is all subjective, but TXF just doesn't seem to be getting a fair shake. It's got some really cool stuff. Sign of the Cross, Lord of the Flies, Man on the Edge, The Aftermath, Blood on the World's Hands, 2 AM, The Unbeliever... There isn't a bad song on it. It's certainly a shift in atmosphere, but it's really cool once you get accustomed to it, really, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like all these artists and all these albums are indeed utter crap. I'm not saying they don't have some strong songs on them, but as an album they're crap. I don't think TSI is that bad, but certainly not great either. It is by far the worst GnR album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickdasterdly10000 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The list is BS.Squeeze by the Velvet Underground was released when none of the original members were still in the band and only one of the original replacements was left. So essentially, not a Velvet Underground album at all. Not sure how you can compare one completely different set of musicians to another when all they share is a common name.Like Axl leaving GnR and then saying an album by the new band was comparable to Appetite to Chinese era work.I hate poor quality control on lists like that.
