Black Sabbath Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 What are some of your favorite lines in Gn'R songs? One of my favorite's is probably from Don't Damn Me - "We judge a book by it's cover and read what we want between selected lines". Very cool and true quote when you think about it.What about yours?inb4OneInAMillion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 ''It's harder to live with the truth about you than to live with the lies about me.'' Always liked that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketQueen1985 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Well, basically all the lyrics in Estranged but especially theseWell, I jumped into the riverToo many times to make it homeI'm out here on my own, drifting all aloneand this from BetterJust use your headAnd in the endYou'll find your inspirationThere's many more that I love but these have to be my favorites.''It's harder to live with the truth about you than to live with the lies about me.'' Always liked that one.I can't believe I forgot that one! I have loved it since the first time I heard it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Got your mind in submission, got your life on the line but nobody pulled the trigger, they just stepped aside. They'll be down by the water while you watch 'em waving goodbye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromle Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 In a similar thread years ago someone posted:If we could take the time to lay it on the lineI could rest my head just knowing that you were mine, all mine - november rainIt just stuck with me since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I liked "I won't ask of you, what I would not do" from Prostitute because Confucius had a quote along the lines of "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself" So it kind of ties into The whole Chinese theme. I thought it was smart of Axl. Edited May 6, 2014 by IncitingChaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was smart of Axl.What I love about Chinese Democracy, is that it references all kinds of literature that Axl has read over the years.Confucius, Salinger, Hemingway etc. Edited May 6, 2014 by NGOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trin9498 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'm taking time quiet consolationIn passing by this love that's passed awayI know it's never easy - so why should you believe meWhen I've always got so many things to sayCalling off the dogs a simple choice is made'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enragedYou know I tried to wake you -I mean how long could it take youTo open up your eyes and turn the pageLocomotive is one if the gnr songs lryically IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting Star Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Some of my favs...Ask yourselfWhy I would chooseTo prostitute myselfTo live with fortune and shameBut now the damage's doneAnd we're back out on the runFunny how everything was rosesWhen we held on to the gunsGuess I needed sometime to get awayI needed some peace of mindSome peace of mind that'll stay BTW... Funny to talk about GNR lyrics cause yesterday was the first time Silkworms made some "kind of sense" to me. Now I don't think I'll want to listen to it again...

Apollo Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 "What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore".... that applies a lot to someone I used to know ¬¬I think we all have an ex that that line applies to. Actually, a lot of SOD probably applies to a lot of ex's.********For some reason I've always likedOn an ordinary dayNot in an ordinary wayThe way Axl sings it gives me goose bumps every time.I also likeMaybe we'd be better off without you anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
