DownUnderScott Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 First Guns N' Roses song I heard as a child, my parents bought the vinyl single for me and I played it to death.You have the best parents ever. EVER... they can adopt me any day. I loved the song then and still do. Bloody awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November_rain Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 At first I hated it because that song was everywhere, it was played in the radio stations over and over, in the shopping center, in people´s cars while driving in the streets, in tv and radio adverts...I got sick and tired of it and hated that song for years. Now I like it a lot but it took me a long time to start listening to that song again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Killer intro - when I've got talk radio on or downloaded a podcast, I'll hear it from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiegun Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think they placed that part of the song perfectly in T2, but as a full song its just ok. Intro is good but the lyrics and solo are meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXL_N_DIZZY Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I LOVED it. The video in particular was a massive success as it teamed up two of the coolest things people had been waiting for for quite awhile at that point- a Terminator sequel with GN'R's proper full-fledged follow-up to AFD. Actually the execution was so brilliant on this particular "comeback" that I think it's why so many of us assumed for so long that there had to be some "master plan" in the works for the CD roll-out as well.

T.wa.T Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Lol, man that is so true! They could do no wrong back then. You Could Be Mine , definatly the best rocker off those albums, very good song, wish we had a demo.But the point has to be made that it didn't really matter at that point, they could have released Shotgun Blues or anything as a single and it would have done well.

wasted Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The reality of the 90s was there was no plan they were wasting cash left and right. 7 Mil for a vid? no problem! they lost money on the uyi tours. Axl spent all the money on late fees and hot tubs of chicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Probably the best song on Use Your Illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 A remake of the YCBM music video would be a killer, since Axl, Arnold, Linda Hamilton & Edward Furlong still all look fucking great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Roses Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 A remake of the YCBM music video would be a killer, since Axl, Arnold, Linda Hamilton & Edward Furlong still all look fucking great!

SoulMonster Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 How did you react to YCBM when it was first released? It was basically GN'R's real "comeback" single, the first official UYI single.I was disappointed with the change in sound, GN'R sounded too polished. But I liked the song.

Black Roses Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I really like 2002 version with Pitman's synth and Bucket's solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFairy81 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I remember when it came on on MTV, I had my casette player set up next to the tv to tape the audio of it. Unfortunately my dad was sleeping at the time and on the casette you can hear him yell at me and slamming the door LOL, and the sound level going way down. I thought it was bad ass (the song, that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye2eye Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think YCBM being in Terminator 2, and Arnold being in the video helped the song ALOT. It just fits the movie like a glove, and if you never knew any better, you would think it was wrote almost for the film. I think it would be extremely advantagous for GN'R to do this again, to have one of their songs closely linked with an up and coming huge hollywood action hit...Nothing easier for management...just call Marvel, they love rock song in their Avengers, Iron Man, whatever movies if Axl has rocking song to be released I'm sure they would be able to work it out. But on the other hand , GN'R management isn't doing much for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You Could Be Mine is my favourite song of all.I heard it for the first time when I watched Terminator 2 for the first time.It's one of GN'R's best songs imo.I only wish Axl would perform the song later in the set and add slightly more rasp.

Lim666 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 when i saw the Video Premiere of YCBM....i've thought that it was a cool rocker, a nice video and a good idea with T2-footage/promotion to start the "taking-over-ther-world"-plan with UYI but Axl's vocals werent that good. watched it over and over again and still, throughout all the years my opinion hasnt changed in that.

GN'R Lies Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 First heard the song over the radio, with tape recorder ready (it was announced to be coming up). I really liked it and listened back on the tape about 5 times. I just thought "yeah they're back" and was excited to have a new song to listen to.Can't say my first listen of UYI was the same. Sitting in my car listening to them after just walking out of the music store going, "what is this"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
