RONIN Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) What are your favorite "metal" songs from UYI and how would you categorize them? Here's how I see it: Tier 1 (thrash) Garden of Eden - Strongest cut by far for me. I think all 3 songs are classics, but GOE has a wild unhinged craziness about it. The energy is off the fucking charts... and the video is all kinds of amazing Perfect Crime Right Next Door to Hell Tier 2 (Punk Metal/Hard Rock hybrids) You Could Be Mine Don't Damn Me -- You could be Mine is probably the strongest cut, but my favorite is Don't Damn Me which has some of Axl's best lyrics. I was torn between Don't Damn Me and Dead Horse (another Axl classic), but I think Don't Damn Me rocks harder. Dead Horse shotgun blues Get in the Ring Tier 3 (Metal epics) Coma Locomotive - Coma is the better song as Locomotive has a weaker chorus and Axl's voice can get a bit abrasive here (Locomotive, YCBM, The Garden, and Yesterdays have that "cat being put into a shredder" Axl voice), but the riff is just EPIC. Coma has an epic riff as well, but Locomotive literally sounds like a locomotive and the lyrics are awesome. But the reason I choose this as a favorite of mine is for that outro -- it's just a thing of beauty. The creative peak of the band imho. I've heard some people call this song "funk metal" a la RHCP -- I'm not sure what it is, but whatever it is, it's weird, it's pissed off and it calls itself LOCOMOTIVE. Slash rules on this.
