Towelie Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Jungle is in no way overrated. It is rightly considered to be one of the best hard rock songs of all time and is undoubtedly one of GNRs best tracks.Surprised nobody has mentioned Paradise City. That chorus is such a cheesefest.

Lies They Tell Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Probably Paradise City or Knocking On Heavens Door, if you count covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 There's a lot of love for CITR. I don't get it. Never did. I like the outro and that's it.November Rain, of course. Not only is it a really bad song, in my opinion, it also has the potential to be overrated.Except for the ending. The ending is really good. The rest is just meandering, soppy, piano clunking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 There Was A Time and ComaI mostly agree with this, the "I would do anything for you's" at the end overcook and IMO tarnish an otherwise pretty epic song.I've never gotten the rabid love for Coma either, that one is the first that popped into my mind.Never had a problem with November Rain myself, it's a song I don't go out of my way to listen to anymore but when I hear it (talking real GNR/Slash era versions here) I'm always impressed.Could be nostalgia, but I think it's a great song.

wasted Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Nobody really rates TWAT and Coma though. Metal Hammer seem to like Coma I guess but mostly it's overlooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Among us fans, Coma, hands down. I never, for the sake of our great patron Saint Ashba, understood why sooooo many of you think this song is some kind of hidden gem. Great vocals from Axl, some nice licks from Slash, but come on. Boring, repetitive and over-produed even by UYI standards.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That chorus is such a cheesefest.I was going to mention Paradise too. That song does nothing for me know. I never listen to it. That's last two and half minutes make Coma (and is arguably some of Axl's best work lyrically) - the first 7.5? Eh....I could do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 CD songs should not be mentioned cause only 20% of the people know who go to the live shows.Sweet Child and WTTJ are pretty over rated, I love them and I always listen to them, but people who don't even know GNR know Sweet Child. Basically its their signature songs.I guess even KOHD is over rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 ^^ What a load of bull! Coma is one GNRs very best.Paradise City is overrated, as well as KOHD. All the rest of their big hits are more than deserving of their acclaim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I would say SCOM, Don't Cry or Patience among the listeners who only know the hitsFor the hardcore CD fans, probably CatcherFor the hardcore oldschool fans, probably Coma Edited December 18, 2015 by Bumble's Bridge Pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Among the forum people, Breakdown for sure.Much stronger argument for Breakdown rather than songs like Coma, Estranged, Locomotive, Rocket Queen, Paradise City, November Rain, Sweet Child, or Welcome to the Jungle, all of which are A-grade songs that just get overplayed/overpraised.Breakdown on the other hand is a C- in my humble opinion, which gets hyped as one of GNR's highlights on par with any of the aforementioned titles. No way Jose. Don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining. Edited December 18, 2015 by Flayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro-mero Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Can't believe the people that are saying that Coma is overrated. I know it's all subjective, but I love that song! Probably my 2nd favorite GN'R song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
