AIC04 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I was reading in a few threads people complaining about gnr ballads. If you ask me it's the power ballads why I love gnr. One could even argue it's why most people got into gnr. SCOM and patience. If it wasn't for now rain (a top 5 smash hit) (#2 music vid of all time according to MTV). It gave them lots of fame. Why the hate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 No hate from my side, the solo of sweet Child got me in to the band, NR, Don't Cry, Estranged are amazing songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padme Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I don´t hate the old ballads. I hate ITW and TIL because they are horrible. And Sorry shouldn´t be a ballad. The lyrics don´t fit the traditional ballad. I guess it would´ve been better as an acoustic song like OIAM or You Are Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would´ve been better as an acoustic song like OIAM or You Are Crazyfrom the new band, Street of Dreams is an amazing ballad, I like TIL too.I won't call ITW or Sorry ballads, the lyrics of those songs are pretty cringe worthy, thats another thing people even find TIL cringe worthy, but I really like it lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendez Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) SCOM isn't a ballad. AFD doesn't have any ballads at all.iirc axl said it was a ballad. I think it was on the Eddie trunk radio interview. That's why they didn't put don't cry on afd. I love ballads, they reflect what they feel at that time. I don't consider any cheesy as some do here.

Why the hate?Are you asking why people dont' like certain songs despite them being popular among others?I don't like November Rain and many other ballads because I just don't. No hate, just don't particularly like slow music. And them being popular has no bearings on what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
