Brunzopolis Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Oh man, so many. I'll stick with two though. NR, and PC.NR:My main exposure to it in the early days was the video. I didn't get my own copies of the UYI's until about 96. Anyway, I'd hear NR, and my brain would just be something like: "There's nothing to see here. This is Bon Jovi-esque wussy ballad shit. Move along." Then one day at a friends house I finally heard the solo, which was awesome, and instantly made the rest of the song awesome too.With PC it's different. I'd heard the entire song a million times. The 'cheese factor' of the chorus always put me off. I always liked the part where the guitars kick in for the verses, but it wasn't until I started watching more concert footage when the internet came along that I started to "love" said parts. The chorus still seems a bit cheesy/cliched to me, but my love for the other parts trumps it. Edited September 7, 2014 by Brunzopolis
Miss Paradise Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Locomotive - Is my one of my favorite now but I didn't like it at first.Shotgun Blues - I like that song even though the lyrics are kinda childish.Sorry - I started to really listenning to that song lately and is really nice.
MB. Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Estranged.Didn't really like it at first, same for NR actually. I used to love the faster and more simple songs more. But I like Estranged now.
WhazUp Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 For me it was Dead Horse, I always dismissed it as a filler tune like Shotgun Blues but one day it just clicked with me and I love it now
Crash Diet Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I hated Breakdown the first time I heard it, love it now.ThisPlus it took me a lot of time to get into Think About YouI hate Cooper's part in The Garden but the rest is so good.that's why I love the live versions so much more...plus they add a some subtleties to the song that the studio version lacksI just listened the first live performance of The Garden and get what you're said
J Dog Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Garden of Eden. Just never gave it too much attention at first. Love it now. One of my favorites.I'll throw Oh My God out there too. I know it's not original GNR but whatever. It was so different and weird at first I just could not get into it. But damn, it's a pretty bad ass track. Edited September 8, 2014 by J Dog
downzy Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Oh My GodSame here. I remember hearing the teaser clip that came out for End of Days and thinking, why is GNR embracing disco (because of the disco beat in the chorus)? GNR, for me, was always big sweeping melodies over crunching/bluesy guitar sections with hard rock drum beats. When I first heard the chorus of OMG, I was astounded how flat the melody was. The chorus is mostly one note, sort of like the guitar solo in Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl. But once I heard the whole song I saw how the chorus fit and ended up loving it. I think it definitely prepared me for what was to come. 1
