FuddMckagan Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Think About You is one of the weaker songs on the album.Better than My Michelle? Eh, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) The worst song on AFD is Out Ta Get Me, and that isn't a bad song. It just goes on for too long. Edited April 3, 2014 by sweetness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I love AFD, all songs, but when I first started to listen to it, the songs I liked most were Think About You and My Michelle. I was still very young and not into rock at all at the time. Those two are the easiest to get into, the most accessible, for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Think About You is definitely the poppiest song on AFD, alongside SCOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sure, some songs on AFD sound a bit juvenile or dated like Out Ta get Me...but it was the 80's.It's easy to take the piss out of them now I guess, but stuff like NIN's shouty angst sounds dated and clichéd already and is just as infantile.The end of Think About You is what makes it, it sort of reminds me of Aerosmith's No More No More in a way.

MEXzilla Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I find AFD to be a perfect album it has no bad songs but it certainly has levels of greatness. Think About You is just a good song but nothing that screams the best song on the album at least to me. Edited April 3, 2014 by MEXzilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I love ISE but that line is pretty dumb. Whenever I hear it I picture balding 50 year olds in jean jackets and sunglasses headbanging and saying "fuck yeah".its a rock song not a shakespearean sonnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Did I fuck up the Out ta Get Me lyrics? I've had it wrong all this time?Yes, you did, my foe.For ages I thought it was they rape my ride. It still kind of works in context though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Who would've thought he could come up with shit like Estranged, Locomotive, Civil War, Catcher and Breakdown from most of the Appetite lyrics lol. I think the lyrics on CD aren't anywhere near as strong as they could've been, especially with the amount of time it took to come to fruition.

DownUnderScott 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.I thought you were having a go at my Man - Think About You, and I would have unleashed my fury and tongue like a razor on you, but you were referring to the song - so, umm, like carry-on! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.people just always have to complain about something, and seek for the imperfect thing on a so called perfect thing, in this case the AFD album, because of jaelousy or because of the vision that there is no such thing as perfection, they are looking to debunk the statement of AFD being a perfect album, or just taking the song, everybody has an opinion and when lots of people say oh think about you is great blablabla then you have those who have to be against it and say Think about you sucks blablabla Same is with the whole rolling stones vs the beatles thing people always have to fight about something or deffend their opinion and what they stand for lol, now personally i really like Think About you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 My favourite part of Think about you, is the end! Not meant as a joke though I mean when everything drops out apart from the acoustic and axl... I don't know how many times I've rewound that part, just brilliant!Not my favourite guns song but I would love to hear it live someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin White Duke Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think it's a catchy song that I really enjoy and that has better lyrics than some other highly praised GNR songs. Also, it suits early GNR like a glove. And the rasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Izzy even has a solo on it. Gotta love that.ThisBut i disaggree with you.Out'ta Get Me is betterAnything Goes is pure brilliancy.if it were intended to be a parody if hair metal, sure.Not a parody just an early song from the Hollywood Rose days...Oh and btw the alternative lyrcs version is way better and the studio version outro Axl scream is classic, imhoI'd probably add My Michelle to the strike it from the records list. Out ta Get Me at least has an aggression and an energy to it that saves it from the shit heap where Think about You and Anything Goes reside.Seriously?THEY'RE OUT TA GET METHEY WON'T CATCH MECUZ I'M INNOCENTSO YOU CAN SUCK MEDUH NUH NUHHHHH NUH NUHHHHHHHComplete fucking garbage.You know what's funny? The band wrote that song when they're older than you now and you're babbling about this "juvenile" shit...Novermber rain is the most cheesiest shit that Axl/GNR ever done and you probably love that song...

JONEZY Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think its a pretty good song. The best part for me, is this. Back in 87 when I god AFD on cassette, this song was right before "Sweet Child", so I had to listen to it. Sometimes I would fast forward to get to the end, but I still heard the ending of "Think About You" a million times, just to get to "Sweet Child". Ahhh, the old days of cassette tapes.

RandallFlagg Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) There's nothing to dislike about it, the second part and finale propels it to really good status tho. Axl sounds real happy and sugarsweet on it, where the heck did that guy go lol. Edited April 3, 2014 by RandallFlagg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
