Ninjapie24 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I was wondering what GNR songs people like the best. I created a playlist on my phone that goes from my favorite GNR song to my least favorite. I love every song, but there are some I obviously love more than others. I did include some from the AFD remaster because those are now officially released songs. Paradise City You Could Be Mine Nightrain It's So Easy Welcome to the Jungle Sweet Child O’ Mine Civil War Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door Live and Let Die Parience Mr. Brownstone Rocket Queen Move to the City (Lies) Move to the City (Acoustic) Don’t Cry (Original) Don’t Cry (Alternative Lyrics) Coma Dead Horse Pretty Tied Up (The Perils of Rock & Roll Decadence) Chinese Democracy Reckless Life Out Ta Get Me My Michelle Double Talkin’ Jive Sorry Mama Kin Better Ain’t Going Down (From AFD remaster or GNR pinball) Used to Love Her Anything Goes You’re Crazy (Lies) You’re Crazy (AFD) Locomotive (Complicity) Breakdown Catcher In the Rye Don’t Damn Me One In a Million Shadow of Your Love Think About You Nice Boys November Rain Estranged New Work Tune Hair of the Dog Bad Obsession Yesterdays 14 Years Dust N’ Bones Right Next Door to Hell Attitude Madagascar Prostitute Sympathy For the Devil Back off Bitch There Was a Time Ain’t it Fun Perfect Crime Jumpin’ Jack Flash Heartbreak Hotel Buick Makane / Big Dumb Sex I. R. S. Raw Power The Garden Garden of Eden Get In the Ring Shotgun Blues The Plague Scraped Bad Apples This I Love So Fine You Ain’t the First Riad N’ the Bedouins New Rose If the World Down On the Farm Shackler’s Revenge Human Being Oh My God Since I Don’t Have You Black Leather Street of Dreams You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory I Don’t Care About You / Look At Your Game Girl My World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kardeshma Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 That's a tough question. I was thinking about that couple of times, but could'nt come to a conclusion so far. A lot of songs are not really comparable. If I ever make a list I think I would exclude covers (because not written by GnR), demos and maybe also CD songs, because how would I compare those "Axl solo songs" to the classic ones? Although I don't have a list yet, I think my top 3 would be: 1. Rocket Queen 2. Locomotive 3. Coma P.S. I am shocked you have "The plague" above Bad Apples 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I always felt Bad Apples was a little weird, and is one of my least favorite of their songs (I still love my “least favorite GNR songs”). Also, it took me until the reunion to appreciate CD and consider it GNR. And the covers have always been an important part of the band, so I feel excluding them is taking out some of the best parts.

I have the intro of Bad apples as my ringtone and I like the funky side of the song. Each to their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I'll just pick two from each album, much easier than sorting them all out November Rain There Was a Time Shackler's Revenge Paradise City Don't Cry Patience You Could Be Mine Civil War Nightrain Used to Love Her Hair of the Dog Ain't It Fun Edited July 17, 2018 by Gackt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Alright Aint It Fun SCOM YCBM Yesterdays Civil War (live- UYI era) Dead Horse (live- UYI era) PTU OIAM Look at Your Game Girl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acor Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 OK, top5 1. Rocket Queen 2. Nightrain 3. Brownstone 4. Easy 5. Think About You Top15 would be rest of AFD (sometimes I feel that worst AFD track>best non AFD track), Estranged, Patience and... Reckless Life??? Hard to rank covers... For example I think You Can't Put Your Arms Around The Memory is one of most beautiful songs ever written, but GnR (or maybe what's left from GnR in 1993) version... not so much.

h2sublime Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I would say Estranged is my favorite song of all time, not just from GNR either. 1. Estranged 2. You Could Be Mine 3. Locomotive 4. Dead Horse 5. Paradise City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heff Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Not necessarily in order but top 10 I listen to the most would be; Nightrain PC OTGM Mr Brownstone Pretty Tied Up Locomotive YCBM Attitude My Michelle WTTJ I also can’t stop watching the performance of Paradise City at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert which I think is close to the band’s defining moment. It’s amazing. Edited July 17, 2018 by Heff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I like making lists, so here's mine. Didn't include any AFD remaster stuff, cause they're more like curiosities to me. Well Shadow Of Your Love I ranked based on the new single. If we only had the old version, it would rank much lower on my list. 1. Coma 2. Welcome to the Jungle 3. Estranged 4. It's So Easy 5. November Rain 6. Sweet Child O’ Mine 7. You Could Be Mine 8. Nightrain 9. Better 10. Don’t Cry (Original) 11. Don’t Damn Me 12. Double Talkin’ Jive 13. Prostitute 14. Chinese Democracy 15. There Was a Time 16. Don’t Cry (Alternative Lyrics) 17. Rocket Queen 18. This I Love 19. Shackler’s Revenge 20. Oh My God 21. Patience 22. Mr. Brownstone 23. Live and Let Die 24. Yesterdays 25. Pretty Tied Up (The Perils of Rock & Roll Decadence) 26. Black Leather 27. Down On the Farm 28. Civil War 29. Catcher In the Rye 30. Paradise City 31. Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door 32. Sorry 33. Out Ta Get Me 34. Street of Dreams 35. Locomotive (Complicity) 36. Used to Love Her 37. Ain’t it Fun 38. You’re Crazy (Lies) 39. 14 Years 40. Madagascar 41. Since I Don't Have You 42. I. R. S. 43.

StrangerInThisTown Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) I guess many will find my top 10 weird, but that's it currently. The best thing about the new boxset is the definitive version of MTTC for me. And Human Being is an underappreciated guns recording. Those last 2 minutes blew me away the first time I heard it and still do. 1. Mr Brownstone 2. Get In The Ring 3. Bad Apples 4. 14 Years 5. Rocket Queen 6. Estranged 7. Human Being 8. KOHD 9. Move To The City 1986 Acoustic 10. Used To Love Her from Live Era Edited July 18, 2018 by StrangerInThisTown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Maybe This? Rocket Queen One In A Million Paradise City Out Ta Get me It's So Easy You're Crazy (LIES version) Civil War Think About You Estranged Locomotive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
