Vincent Vega Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I've read some say that they feel the chorus of "Breakdown" sucks and ruins the potential the song had. Why? I feel it's a good chorus and it makes the song that much more unique because with the chrous you now have a song which has country, funk and ballad elements all in it. It fits and gives the song a sort of groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Breakdown is a brilliant song. Great intro, awesome verses, unique chorus, great solo and I love the honkytonk piano playing. Definately in my top 5 UYI-era songs and probably in my top 10 all time favourites from Guns. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Breakdown is an amazing song one of GNR`s best fuckwits clean your ears from grease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The chorus has no melody. That and Axl's talking outro are the only two flaws in an otherwise gorgeous song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguy Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 If Axl hadn't slathered this song with comical vocal delivery during the choruses (not to mention the idiotic spoken word outro), it would be a phenomenal song. As is, it's just merely great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggers Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 If you hate this song you hate Axl's songwriting. The song 100% Axl.Also, there is no chorus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterthebath Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Great Fucking song with amazing lyrics!If I could change one thing about it though it would be the rant about the "Blue meanies" at the end. It steps on the outro solo which is all sorts of awesome and seems a bit forced and unnecessary in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
