magisme Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's not uncommon, a lot of artists dislike their biggest hit.Yes but we all know why he dislikes SCOM.Yes, exactly what he said. It went against their "schtick."No he dislikes it because Axl wrote it. If that's true he would have said there were a bunch of GNR songs he didn't like. You know, cuz Axl wrote a bunch of their songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosidam Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Does Slash includes Estranged in the ballads he doesn't like? It's my favorite song, and it's, imo, the best work of both Axl and Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmass Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Richie Sambora also says he can't stand Runaway (arguably the song that broke Bon Jovi) and also Axl said he "wants to bury Appetite". I think artists sometimes get really sick of songs and want to move on. And "we" read way to much into quotes. Maybe these days Slash here's SCOM and goes "gay". Maybe in 10 years Axl will want to "bury CD".....ok scratch that last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to make a record that would be seen as better than AFD. Obviously he never succeeded, but what's wrong with having that goal? To want to top your best work?

RandallFlagg Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Should've done an alternate version with better lyrics like Don't Cry.She's got a temper that it seems to meReminds me of mine when they're out ta get meWhere everything was as unjust as St Louis' securityWoah OHOH Sweet Child O' Die Nah sorry Slash, don't have the same ring to it... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns n' Swedes Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That's what great about Axl - his diversity. He can write songs like Back of Bitch but also SCOM and NR.
