bacardimayne Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It's not the best song on AFD, but it often gets treated like the worst. I don't get it. It's got a bit of a cheesy Heart vibe that the other songs don't have (save for My Michelle), but it's much better than Anything Goes, My Michelle and Out ta Get Me.

IncitingChaos Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It's a great song! Some might think it's lame, but it's kinda the rose part of guns n roses. Your going to get some softer lyrical songs. It's not all hard rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I've just never liked the song. Then again, I don't really like Out Ta Get Me and people are always puzzled by that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Its a better song than Out Ta Get Me?! What?!Its a great song. The thing that brings it down is the chorus. Its a tad gay, which isn't bad, but it just isn't as badass as the other songs on the album. Aside from that chorus its a solid tune. But yeah, its probably the worst on Appetite. Seriously, Anything Goes is underrated. Thats a bad ass barn burner and its one of the very few songs not to be overplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 because Slash didn't want it to be on AFD?To me it's the one true genius example of songwriting on AFD. Izzy is so effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 its my second favorite song on AFD.Me too. Rocket Queen, Think About You, Nightrain. Top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War2k14 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I love it.. I always have. I was so excited when it made its way into the setlist in 2002. Not Epic, but just a good feel good tune Look at Izzy and Richard Rocking Out Together... My Two Fav Guitarists in GNR on Rhythm.

Black Sabbath Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 No, the fast version of You're Crazy is the worst on the album, but Think About You is right behind it and closely followed by Anything Goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRanOutOfIdeas Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 No, the fast version of You're Crazy is the worst on the album, but Think About You is right behind it and closely followed by Anything Goes.This is pretty spot on.AFD doesn't have a bad song, but those three are the weakest songs in the bunch. I used to hate Out Ta Get Me (And I think the "fucking innocent" verses are kind of unneeded), but it's grown on me more and more with each listen. The opening gets me everytime.

TeeJay410 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 AFD often gets lauded as a near perfect album, but there are some pretty big misses, and I'd say think about you is one. Think about you, anything goes, and you're crazy are three of them. Honestly personally I don't think time has been kind to out ta get me or my Michelle. Also "turn around bitch I have a use for you" taints it's so easy pretty bad to a modern listener. Though it's so easy is hardly the only song with that sort of problem. Back off bitch is a nice rocking song undone by not only misogynistic, but simply bad lyrics. The more contemporary the lyrics, meaning hair metal sleaze style, the worse they were. The difference between Axl's lyrics when he wrote about personal subjects versus songs like anything goes is umbelievable (though his personal feuds coming up in songs are cringeworthy).The more I think about it, lyrically Axl is/was about 50/50. When he hit, he nailed it but when he missed... Good god. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nulla Lex Ink. Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Personally, Think About You was just one of the more unmemorable songs on the album, but I like it a damn sight better than You're Crazy. I just never did enjoy either version of that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashisGOD Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah, I gotta say You're Crazy is the worst on the album. Anything Goes isn't as bad as people say, though still one of the weaker ones. Think About You is in that same bunch, but just a bit better.I like the riffs on Out Ta Get Me but I'm not a big fan of the song overall. I skip this most of the time to get to Mr. Brownstone, which is in the top 3 on the album.Of course, I think the Illusions are better records, but AFD is a fucking freight train overall.

pestilence Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 nothing wrong with the song whatsoever....notthe strongest song on the album but it still fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nulla Lex Ink. Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I demand respect Here's something better: I love you. Have some candy and a Barqs.Adding onto what pestilence said, at least it fits with the rest of the album and isn't a weird, out of nowhere track. Like My World.

luciusfunk Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Out Ta Get Me < You're Crazy < Anything Goes < Think About YouI used to hate Anything Goes, but now I think it's loads better than Out Ta Get Me.

TeeJay410 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 AFD surely is a classic but personally out ta get me, think about you, anything goes, and you're crazy come out to 4 solid duds. Even My Michele is suspect. I'm wary of any song Sebastian Bach fucking loves, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
