Gibson87 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 November Rain. It has its place in GNR's history, but it's not THAT great of a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro-mero Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I don't think I have any overrated songs. Many GN'R songs are simply overplayed, but that doesn't mean the songs themselves aren't goodOne GN'R song that people seem to like more than me is Dust N' Bones. Never thought that song was more than averageNovember Rain. It has its place in GNR's history, but it's not THAT great of a song.No Edited December 18, 2015 by Bro-mero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Without question There Was a Time. Overrated doesn't even begin to describe it. But is it really Guns N Roses anyways? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Sweet Childthis would be my answerits a great song but i wouldn't rank it as a top 5 GNR song like most do + its heavily overplayed Edited December 18, 2015 by -W.A.R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) coma is the first song springing to mindit's main problem is, it's just too long. it builds, and builds, but it builds to nowhere. ok that's not true. you hear hospital sounds eventually.i'm sure the song has a deep personal meaning to axl, and no doubt is it an example of deep emotive expression within the lyrics. but that doesnt change the fact the song gives me the feeling it's just one more of axl's grand visions, forced on the rest of the band who had to come up with some tunes to accompany the lyrics.the song lacks the vibrance of double talking jive (which is, ironically, criminally underrated) or the rocking edge of RNDTH or YCBM.the song has many fans though, and they are loud in spreading the word. but here's the thing: a good song sells itself, it doesnt need "sellers" to do that.i could have happily done without the song on UYI 1. the song is a stylistical gap with the other songs and feels out of place. it would feel more at home on chinese (an album which i've come to dislike more and more over the years).

Rodzilla72 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 No it wasn't on the radio a lot, the band sent out a bunch of cease and desists after Eddie Trunk played it once.Wow- These guys are absolute masters of publicity, aren't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma is the most overrated. People here tend to hold it in the same regard as (relative) masterpieces like Estranged and SCOM. It's fucking awful until the 9th minute.

ags_rule Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'd say One In A Million. Strip back the controversy and you've got a very basic song with little to recommend it. More overrated amongst hardcore fans though. If we're talking overrated amongst casual fans then it has to be November Rain - a great track, but I think most of us would take Estranged over it any day.

ToonGuns Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Coma is amazing. And not in an overrated way! It's one of my favourite guns songs. The structure and dynamics match the story and lyrics. Heard little else like it.Overrated in my opinion: Patience, Sweet Child... Heard them so much they can't live up to expectations.

Little EMO Annie Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I can honestly say that no Classic GNR song is over rated. I love them all. COMA really captures the essence of running a code. WTTJ is my all time fav song! And Madagascar is so hauntingly beautiful. It's really unfortunate that Axl had trouble with his ear piece at that VMA show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 . It's really unfortunate that Axl had trouble with his ear piece at that VMA show.Team Brazil should pay you to do public relations for Axl. The way you spin everything to excuse Axl's failures is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
