Tom2112 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Coma, Catcher prostitute and locomotive.... I like parts of each but as a whole none of them. Locomotive and prostitute are the best of the bunch though... and I don't hate any of those / Any guns song... although Silkworms is junk! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOM is many things but overrated isn't one of those things. It's overplayed and overrated. Yea it was their first big hit, but it's always ranked as one of, if not their best song, and they have plenty of better songs IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedYourIllusion Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Among CD fans, Catcher in the rye, I just thinks it's an awful song Among the contrarian fans--One in a million, song where the verses don't have anything to do with the choruses. I like the chorus, dats it. Coulda been a good love song Among casuals probably either SCOM or November Rain. I love both songs, but SCOM is overplayed, and the production on NR could've been better--see live versions of the song Among hardcore fans, Don't Damn Me. Still have no idea how anyone can stand that song one bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baje Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I definitely think KOHD is overrated. I just don't get it. I don't like it live or the studio version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 As always when I'm taking part on those polls I do NOT count CD era stuff. They would fill any of my lists of worst GNR songs. CD songs don't even come on my mind for such lists, good or bad, as long as I don't see them here being listed by some of you. So I have to go with some covers this time. Live And Let Die and Since I Don't Have You are more or less popular songs among the fan base and in general wich I have to scip everytime they're on. Never understood the love for them.

drbunnig Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Coma was the first song that came to mind (at least among the more dedicated fans). I've spoken to a lot of people who really like it and were delighted that it came back into the set. I think it's a waste of setlist space, and an absolute slog to get through.

Waemoth Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 First of all, any and all GNR songs no one has heard. Fuck off. The General is probably absolute trash. For the serious answer, Paradise City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateRadio Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Novermber Rain. That’s a great start to this thread. I liked it when I was 13, but was disappointed sorta when that’s what they played live at the MVA’s. Great lyrics, great song, and I was born on Nov 29th — the same date as that famous Columbia’s downpour show. It’s weird that that’s the song I’m most tired of. I could listen to Jungle and Sweet Child for lifetimes and they never grow old, but NR...nope. And it’s a lot of people’s’ all time favorite GNR track. I get it, but it’s been one of my least favorites for 25 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmythegent Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 For me its probably Paradise City. It has it's moments and the intro and bridge are cool, but the outro and choruses for me are just not on par with their great stuff. November Rain needs a mention for me - iconic soloing but not that a great a song - the most inferior of the big UYI ballads for me. TWAT and Madagascar also need calling out - overwrought, earnest and no where near Guns top gear level of greatness... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nobody rates that shit" 🤣 Also, plenty of people on and off the forums love CD, some even consider it their favourite guns album, some rate certain songs from the album in their top 5 of all time. Your opinion on people being hopeless because they like a record you don't, is in itself hopeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I think Prostitute is overrated in the hardcore fanbase. The drum beats and Bucket solos are really not that great IMO. I loved the piano when Axl used it as an intro for November Rain, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 No problem with SCOM musically but lyrically it’s trite and I’m not surprised Axl hasn’t been able to put any passion in it live for decades. Slash thought it was stupid to begin with. It’s the song they’re known for when it pretty much flies in the face of everything they were about. Not that Back Off Bitch has aged any better...

I know people here like Better and I will never understand why.. I find everything about it terrible. Especially live.. The only CD song I get any enjoyment from live is CD itself.. Axl sounds terrible at the end of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to Back Off Bitch earlier today and I still think it's an awesome track. One of the best rockers from the Illusions.
