Yes Estranged for me too. It came randomly the other day while I was riding my bike, it was dark and I was in the forest - so "isolated" and the song hit hard. It probably helps that it's my fav GN'R song. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post weaponsnflowers 109 Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 On an ordinary day Not in an ordinary way All at once the song I heard No longer would it play For anybody Or anyone That needed comfort from somebody Needed comfort from someone Who cared To be Not like you And unlike me That gets me every time. As I think it's about John Lennon and how his song was cut short. Luckily people can still find comfort from his songs, even though he no longer plays them for us. Great lyrics Axl, great lyrics. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amaya 230 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Easy answer for me. Personally, Yesterdays is such a good song . Well written. True words. Meaningful. I have regrets of lost years , nothing immoral or illegal. Nothing like that, but just moving on faster in life. The song is really an uplifting song . Yesterdays got nothing on me...

The demo fucking hits me in the feels. Perfectly structured with the rhythm being prominent throughout with Brian’s perfect outro solo coming right at the very last verse instead of Bumble soloing right from the get go. The album version doesn’t do it justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhazUp 4,066 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 For me it is probably the second half of Estranged, and the entirety of Don't Cry. Estranged IMO is Axl's pinnacle of lyrical prowess Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Live Like a Suicide 2,485 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 For me, i think the two GN'R songs i actually stopped and reflected on were This I Love and Prostitute, especially with the instrumentals. The orchestral arrangement on those two songs are amazing and seriously underappreciated (not least because the final mix drowns them out a bit). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Reid 3 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I’d have to go with 14 Years. “But it's been 14 years of silenceIt's been 14 years of painIt's been 14 years that are gone forever and I'll never have again!” that’s all I have to say about that... 🙃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damn This Jail 13 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 This might sound weird but the last minute and a half of Prostitute. It slowly fades into this cinematic orchestration. It actually stops me in my tracks and I have to pause and appreciate it. It’s not a sad emotional reaction. It’s more of awe inspiring kind of feeling. A feeling of finality. Kind of reminds me of chapters that end and a book closing forever. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ssiscool 102 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Either Madagascar or So Fine. Madagascar for the organ music and So Fine for the lyrics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

megaguns1982 663 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Estranged did when I was a teenager, now in my late 30s I’m so hardened to feelings that I doubt anything could make me emotional.... I guess that comes with age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Free Bird 2,052 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It depends on my mood but there are moments on a lot of songs that might not bringing tears into my eyes but still a strong emotional feeling. Nightrain outro, Locomotive outro, Coma outro, SCOM outro, Raw Power outro (GNR, the band with the best outros). A lot of guitar solos and Axl moments like his part after the One In A Million solo for example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Phoenix 28 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 For me it’s ‘It tastes good, don’t it?’. That song definitely resonates with me on a deep level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WAR41 411 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Never moved to tears, but Locomotive does elicit the strongest emotion from me. It brings me to a very specific time in my life. I loved GNR since 1991, but I never "discovered" Locomotive until the summer of 1998. I played it constantly that summer. If I am driving by myself and pop on Locomotive it can bring me back to that summer where I was having a ton of fun and didn't have a care in the world. The demo version of There Was a Time also brings me back to a specific period that was actually pretty dark for me. It's weird that these two songs can do that for me. I have songs by other bands that do the same thing for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
