Estranged Reality Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Shotgun blues, bad applesyup.get in the ring at least has a killer riff before its embarrassing ringside rant. shotgun blues is just bad beginning to end - disposable riff, shitty lyrics, mediocre solo. bad apples is undermined by questionable production (axl's weird baaaaaad apples enunciation, for example). those are the only two songs i really routinely skip when i listen to the albums.Only song i hate is irs worst song ever!what strikes me as interesting is that it seems like people are on the same page when it comes to the worst tracks on the older records -- anything goes for appetite, get in the ring/shotgun blues/my world for UYI II, etc. -- but when it comes to Chinese Democracy, a lot of the tracks people name are other people's favourites.i'm not sure if that's just because the album didn't have as many clear standouts (you won't find many people disputing that Sweet Child is great, for example, but a lot of people either love or hate songs like IRS) or if it's because it was divisive musically. some people 'got' songs like If the World and other people HATED them.i personally like all of Chinese Democracy, but years later, I'd say the ones I play least are Scraped, Sorry, and Riad. not sure how anyone could hate IRS...if only for that killer scream and the guitar solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 the gardenback off bitcb is a close second cause you know a juvenile wrote it butthe garden is trying to hardback off bitch has pretty vile lyrics but they would have fit in nicely on appetite and i like the rawness of it. the original demo is a real blistering rock song. i have no problem with it, even though the lyrics are a bit embarrassing.

OmarBradley Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Wow, did not expect the Bad Apples, Back off Bitch, and Get in the Ring hate. I think all 3 are great songs. There's nothing on CD I'd say that's really better than anything from 87-91. I'd have to go with The Garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Get In The Ring, Shotgun Blues and My World pretty much sum it up for the old band.As for CD is think This I Love is the weakest song (lyrics are abominable)Who could not love The Garden? Slash is absolutely on fire on that track... and So Fine-while pretty cheesey, has that wonderful solo in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerman Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 hands down no argument because not only would you have to be deaf but musically illiterate as well...This I Love with a Very Very close Silkworms followed by the rest of CD ...Wait just a fucken minute the thread says GNR song.. so I guess that would have to be get in the ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think (at least from a casual fan pov) that it would be one of the more popular songs on the record. Monster riff, killer solo, epic vocal wail, cool lyrics, awesome chorus. Definitely my favorite rocker on the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think one in a million deserves a mention not musically, but for the blatant racism and homophobia lyrically. It sort of ruins what otherwise is an amazing tune and melody.Also, appetite features some of the worst lyrics in rock history, anything goes, my Michele, first 4 minutes of rocket queen.

Iron MikeyJ Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 shotgun blues, back off bitch scraped, and riad. But if I had to pick just one, it would probably be shotgun blues. That song has always annoyed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 First off I LOVE "Think About You"..... There really isn't a song from the original band that I don't like... I love every song on Appetite and LIES. A few songs on UYI's haven't aged so well... Maybe "Right Next Door To Hell", but I don't hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 WTF man?I forgot Back Off Bitch, that's a stinker too.I actually really like the music to back off bitch. The song had a lot of potential, its the lyrics that I can't stand. "Lying in a ditch" and all that, ranks of cheeze if you ask me. I put it as the 3rd cheeziest song gnr ever did, with my world being 1 of course. Shotgun blues is #2 with a bullet. With riad and then scraped rounding out the top 5 of gnr cheeze.

I guess thats a good thing, shows the diversity of the album. My favs from it are sorry, twat, better, this i love, and catcher. I know a lot of people really dislike sorry and this i love, but they do sound like guns n roses to me. I do like all of the songs on the album, but riad and scraped are my least favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Really? Anything Goes is, IMO, a tumor in AFD. That song is probably one of the worst Guns N' Roses songs ever, if not tge worst. Think About You ain't that bad. It's better than AFD's You're Crazy and maybe in level or better than My Michelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Hollywood Rose "Anything Goes" is IMO better than AFD's.I always regarded TAY and AG as the filler on AFD, but the end of Think About You is a shining Axl moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybebad Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Anything Goes is embarrassing compared to the quality of the rest of the songs on Appetite For Destruction.I never cared for the version of You're Crazy on that album, but the Lies version is great.Get In The Ring should have never made it past the conversation stage of "hey, I have a great idea for this new song!"lShotgun Blues is pretty bad...Back Of Bitch sounds like it was written by 13 year olds. If The World is shockingly bad, in my opinion. Same goes for Scraped. I just can't understand how anyone could like those two songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Musically scraped is okay but the lyrics are cringe inducing, as well as the weird Acapella intro.Two songs I really like that seem to be getting hate are catcher in the rye and riad. Riad's "oh my salvation" part is insane, and the rest of it has that strangeness that defines the 2002 era for me. Catcher is just Axl Rose doing Queen, and I like it.
