Hey Jude VS Don't Cry

[Guest Len B'stard]

Hear that? That was written and recorded by 15 year old boys, in a record yourself booth…and i think it's better than anything i've ever heard out of Guns n Roses, it's just enchanting, the vocal melodies, the lyrics, the harmonising, the fact that its a fucking ballad, what the fuck are 15 yr old boys doing writing a ballad?!?!

They are the absolute fuckin' mutts nuts and nobody will ever touch them, not ever. As far as a band like Guns n Roses, they don't even have the raw talent in them to write songs like that, Axl Rose is something that doesn't have the nerve to commit to his music, it's why it takes him 15 years to release an album, despite what bullshit we might blah ourselves into thinking as a result of reading this forum too much, The Beatles were bold as brass fuckin' titans, comparing them to bands like Guns n Roses just isn't fair. The Stones? Maybe…and they still blast em out of the water.

you put forward a good argument. i'm impressed, is that george, the third guy?

I voted Don't Cry, but not because I am a die hard GnR fan, which I'm not. It's just that I can still listen to Don't cry these days, even after 21 years and I still love it. It still does it for me. But I cannot listen to Hey Jude anymore without being bored out of mind. I did go through a very long Beatles phase years ago. I'd listen to them on a daily basis, but I think I listened to Hey Jude one time too many. It's… I don't now…

Even when i was REALLY into GnR Don't Cry was a bit...of a meh song. I always prefered the original version too. i guess i got into GnR when i was quite young so the bad boys of rock thing was what kinda drew me in. I think it was a great thing too cuz although they were these bad boys of rock they had tonsa soft songs and ballads and crap and they kinda pulled them off whilst still looking cool, was probably really healthy for the evolution of my musical taste actually. Although in those early days i never really liked the softer songs but what was great was the guitar work cuz no matter how fannyish it sounded (you tend to think like that when you're 10 or 11 ) the guitar work just always lifted it. Slash was always kinda my thing, what drew me to GnR anyway really.

Hey Jude better win this round but all around i personally think Civil War is better than Let It Be.

People who like Don't Cry claiming Paul McCartney makes granny music and that Hey Jude is "cack", lol

@magisme what do you have against WMGGW?

Honestly, it's just that one little bit of language, "my guitar gently weeps." I find it so repellent that I can't listen to the song.

Hey Jude is overrated as shit

Even if it was, Don't Cry is shit.

Even some of my friends that absolutely hate it, really dig Slash's solo and outro leads. The quality is there guitar wise. That's the redeeming quality of the song for many, and it elevates the song from being shit for them imo.

Personally I think it's a great song. Important too. Got the band signed so that's cool.

Don't Cry is a great song. One of my favorite moments of the new bands concert. It is the one song that I think the new band actually do better than the old band.

Ron's KROQ version of Don't Cry was awesome.

[Orsys]

Had to think about this one. Went with Don't Cry.

Hey Jude. Bloody hell. When does it end, man, when does it end?
