Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I can't believe songs like So Fine, Pretty Tied Up, 14 Years and Don't Cry are behind a crap song like Yesterdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I rarely get surprised about what other people like or don't like when it comes to art -- but to see that 'Locomotive' isn't in most people's top three astonishes me. It is Axl and Slash on their finest. And the lyrics rivals anything GN'R ever did, and most other bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 14 Years is such an underrated song. If it loses to the 3rd best version of Don't Cry (after the demo and UYI I version) I'll shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Locomotive would have been one of their best songs if Axl hadn't fucked up the vocals. He's the weak link in that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Ya think? I think it's sorely lacking Izzy on rhythm guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The bass and drums in it are among the best they ever did and I love the melody. It's the multi layers of lead vocals or whatever it is Axl did that makes the vocals suck to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the multi layers of lead vocals or whatever it is Axl did that makes the vocals suck to me.To me it is the lead guitar, the rumbling, heavy riff that goes through the song, and the amazing lyrics that does the song. I like the layered vocals, it makes the chorus a lot heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I suppose there's a reason you like CD and I don't. I'm not too fond of overproduced stuff.I love the guitars as well, by the way. Edited September 12, 2012 by Satanisk_Slakt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Locomotive would have been one of their best songs if Axl hadn't fucked up the vocals. He's the weak link in that song.Except at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Axl's vocals on the UYIs overall are lacking. I wish they had been recorded in 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Locomotive would have been one of their best songs if Axl hadn't fucked up the vocals. He's the weak link in that song.I agree. And you know I love 'So fine' as well. I think it's a great song Edited September 12, 2012 by MBRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I suppose there's a reason you like CD and I don't. I'm not too fond of overproduced stuff.It's hard to say "I like CD", because it contains both the best of GN'R (There Was A Time, Better) and the worst (This I Love, If The World). To say I am ambivalent is an understatement. It is better to say I both love it and hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Locomotive is perfect the way it is Axl`s top notch lyrics, Slash`s heavy boan crunching riffing, Duff`s groovy bass, Matt`s hard hitting drums hell I even like Dizzy`s piano outro it`s fucking gorgeous it lacks Izzy`s parts but it`s still fantastic song Funk Metal jaggernaut Edited September 12, 2012 by Son of a Guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
