AndreCC Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) It depends on your opinion really... Use Your Illusion 1 is my favorite record of all time, so i don't see any fillers in there.As for Chinese Democracy to me there's 4 or 5 great songs. Better, Chinese Democracy, Catcher in the Rye, There Was a Time (but i prefer the 2006 leak version) and If The World.Then there's a couple of so so songs: Street of Dreams, IRS, Riad N' The Bedouins.Then there's the crappy songs: Shacklers Revenge, This I Love, Scraped, Sorry, Prostitute and Madagascar. Some of them because they sound unfinished and needed more work (shacklers, This i love, scraped and madagascar), and others because to me they just don't cut it... It's a matter of taste!

wasted Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Production has moved on. CD blows most records out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 AFD is the holly bible. UYI's albums are amazing rock records. CD is an OK and bit weird sounding overall album with a couple of great songs (Better & TIL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The illusions are classics with some if the best songs ever made. But ever since CD was released it has remained a staple in my playlist and car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidzGnr Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Chinese Democracy is my favourite album, probably of all time. its one album that definitely means the most to me above all anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Two completely different albums, you can't really compare them. But the Illusions have way more filler than Chinese, and the guitar work isn't as consistently amazing. But Mr Hat is always a hit and miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbgnr Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) CD has slowly taken over UY1 for me as my fav GNR album, and I've preferred it over UYI2 for a while now. Edited February 14, 2013 by cbgnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourcrazy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I like the illusions. I really liked them back when they came out, stood in line at midnight to buy them and then drove around listening. Even back then we were starved for more GNR music, some things never change. I listen to CD mostly now, just because I like the newer sound and can't wait to hear new GNR music again. The illusions have some great stuff on them (yesterdays, estranged, etc), but they also have too many filler songs on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Both Illusions are 10000000000000000000000x better than CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yes - or at least on the same level.It is just as good as either one. Not as good as both of them combined.....but it stands up next to either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Bits and pieces sure. As a whole, no.Songs like Better and Shacklers I prefer to Shotgun Blues and Bad Apples. Edited February 14, 2013 by F*ck Fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD is an OK and bit weird sounding overall album with a couple of great songs (Better & TIL).Afd is the old testament. Angry, vengeful, fresh, the beginninguyi is the new testement.

Tyson Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If you take the best songs from Illusions and put them on one album, it rivals Appetite. So no, Chinese Democracy does not compete with the Illusions in my opinion. It does, however, stand on it's own as a very significant accomplishment by a tremendously talented musician.
