Gackt Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 My World takes the cake. Not only does it just sound completely out of place and awkward, it ruined how the album ended instead of on a higher note like it could have with Don't Cry's alt version.Also not a fan of So Fine, The Garden or Bad Apples.

Charlie Underbite Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I can't believe how many people have said Right Next Door To Hell is unlistenable. It's one of the only UYI songs that doesn't suffer from overproduction and doesn't include Dizzy's piano/organ work. It's kick-ass right from the beginning and snarls with Appetite era attitude.

Sisyphus Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 No such thing. The way people compete who will come up with more songs is laughable. Every song on UYI is awesome. In my opinion.Fuck off and buy something from the new age section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I only skip So Fine, My World, Get In The Ring and sometimes Shotgun Blues. Nothing else is skipped, no one skips anything but these songs, they're all lying, I have tampered with the stereo systems and media players to create preventable skippages of every other track so don't try to fool the illusion or your musical contraption will explode in disgust.

Street Of The Blues Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Every track (especially Bad Apples) kicks a ton of ass. This post reminds me of when i stumbled across a question asked here a few days ago; Which live version of Sweet Child O' Mine is closest to being studio quality vocally? People were actually suggesting that the song sucked or was horrible so i scratched my head and moved on with life without question until this. Sure you might not wanna listen to Right Next Door To Hell on repeat but to say it isn't a good uplifter is complete bull. If Dust N' Bones, You Ain't The First are both shit than so is Dead Horse and the entire experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I hate " The Garden" with a passion.Can't believe this. It's such an underrated gem in my book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 *shrug* I'm not sure why people care if someone else doesn't like this song or that song - quality is a very subjective thing and everyone has their own preferences. It's not going to affect your enjoyment either way, is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 hmmm. My World - Just shit. Get In The Ring - It has some great parts and some cringeworthy parts. It's just all over the place. KOHD - Honestly, the Freddie Mercury live version is one of the best things GnR has ever done. Pure magic. But the studio version is just so...meh. Phonecall sucks. Breakdown - Though a really fantastic song at first, the ending is just so stupid. Fuck you and your stupid Vanishing Point shit. You Aint The First isn't really good, but at least it's funny. So Fine is just... poor. But listenable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't find anything unlistenable but the tracks I'd prefer not to hear are Shotgun Blues, So Fine, My World and Get In The Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Guitar wise I find stuff to like in almost every UYI song there is . It's been said a million times but it's the production that kills most of the "shitty" songs.Playing Garden of Eden on guitar made me love that song.

Satanisk_Slakt Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I haven't really listened to a lot of songs for many years. I could probably listen to all of them, even My World, but the ones I'm skipping are usually these:Live And Let DieYesterdaysKnockin' On Heaven's DoorGet In The RingShotgun BluesBreakdownMy WorldThe rest are fine. I think all of them could have been improved immensely though, even the best songs. The only songs that are really perfect are Dust N' Bones and You Could Be Mine.

maynard Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I guess I skip the whole album besides NR, Estranged and YCBM. It's been ages since I've listened to UYI in full... Every GNR album is so overplayed by now, even that Chinese crap album... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The only tracks I don't love are Shotgun Blues and Back Off Bitch. I still like them though. I think either would be much better if they were played super fast like Nice Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsMainMan Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I find none of the UYI songs "unlistenable", just "less likeable".I concur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Lol what's up with RNDTH??I like it, it's one of the few times it really sounds like GNR the band. Bass rumble, riffs, crazy lyrics, awesome vocals, first time I heard it I was like they're back!I guess I would have liked a first side like:RNDTH DTJBack off bitchDon't damn meBad ObsessionCivil WarThat's what I would have expected but the albums have huge scope of not recording depth.

Angelica Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 There's a crapton of filler (some of which is downright embarrassing) on both the records. It's one of the many, many reasons I can't keep a straight face whenever anyone suggests that Axl's some kind of perfectionist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 A perfectionist is someone who does more than 2 takes in rock n roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
