Gun N' Roses Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 So, I have done some thinking, and I have come to the conclusion that Coma is one of the most underrated songs in Rock. I mean you have to be a pretty big GnR fan to even really know about Coma or see it for it's full glory. It is sort of like Estranged, but even that song isn't considered EXTREMELY underrated by us GnR fans. I know Coma is a rather lengthy song, but so was November Rain, and it made it big. What are some major underrated songs you can think of that top Coma (GnR or not)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Coma, Locomotive and even Estranged are underrated Gn'R songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgunblues1978 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The "Big 4" on UYI (November Rain, Coma, Locomotive, Estranged) were a sign of GnR leaning in a more of prog rock direction. If they'd continued evolving in that direction they could've made a pretty amazing progressive album in the mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've actually heard Estranged on the radio before, Coma is definitely the more obscure and under appreciated of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un42nutzly Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think TWAT could be very active on the radio and people would enjoy it. I would say it is the song that I use to introduce GNR to my friends. The solo could be up there with Comfortably Numb, its just very soothing to hear.

gnrkoncerti Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yeah Coma, Locomotive, Breakdown and Pretty tied up from illusions albums, but also Rocket Queen and Nighttrain from Apetite had a great potentional... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Still don't get the hardcore fans hype about Coma. Pretty boring, except the outro, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Still don't get the hardcore fans hype about Coma. Pretty boring, except the outro, IMO.I agree completely. The outro is fantastic, though, and so is the prelude to the outro with Slash's solo and Axl verse that ends with the line "Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway!".

Chinaski Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've listened to the last three minutes about a thousand times more than I've listed to the whole song.The same applies to TWAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I heard the whole unedited version in the radio at about 11pm on late night rock station. The DJ practically came himself talking about the song once it ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Personally, I feel 'Don't Damn Me' is a lot more underrated, even among fans of the band. And 'Locomotive' -- with Axl's arguably finest moment as a lyricist -- is also sadly underrated, although not as much among fans.

jimb0 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think Coma is the best thing Axl ever did Vocally and the best thing Slash ever wrote on guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Coma, Locomotive and Perfect Crime. Three of the best rock songs ever, extremely underrated.Shotgun Blues, The Garden, Double Takin Jive also very underrated.From New GNR, TWAT is the most underrated. Sorry, Catcher also very underrated.Almost all GNR and New GNR material except Appetite is underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
