I think it will be Nightrain vs WTTJ or Nightrain vs RQ as final. 

To me Nightrain all the way 

Agreed! That's nearly impossible to pick though🤔 They all have something that I love in them, I'd probably go with RQ... cross that bridge when it comes to it😄

[El Guapo]

I always thought Nightrain wasn't one of the top songs on Appetite. I mean, it's fantastic, no doubt. But I always felt that the chorus wasn't THAT great. The lyrics are not so great as well there, "bottoms up...fill my cup"

But yeah, it's gonna be painful to vote from here on out!

[GoBucky]

SCOM is legendary, but I had to pick it because I just never listen to it. My Michelle is a top 3 song for me on that album, but it looks like I'm SOL on that one. 

[Liva]

I get the intention that this is a fun idea, but the responses behind this poll are EXACTLY why anyone related to the GNR camp doesn't take what is said on these forums seriously.  Like it, hate it, sick of hearing it.  Sweet Child O Mine will never ever leave a GNR live set, if it was left out, the majority of attendees would be pissed and for good reason.  The fact that is it at 17% vote, 3 places away from the chopping block, to be cut just shows how removed the forum members are from the general public wants/perception.  

Go look on Youtube or Spotify, SCOM has 1.3 BILLION and 1.1 BILLION view/listens respectively.  On Spotify the next highest is Jungle at 723 million, 400 million less than SCOM.  Paradise City is 690m on Spotify.  In comparison, You Could Be Mine has 127m spins and Civil War has 139m spins on Spotify.  So SCOM is literally listened to 10x those songs.  The only thing that beats out SCOM is the November Rain video on YouTube with 1.8 Billion views, its a great song but also legendary video.

If SCOM/PC/JUNGLE get eliminated and anyone in GNR saw it, they would die laughing at how ridiculous the wants of a few hundred members on a forum are vs the MILLIONS of actual paying concert goers and general listening public on the various platforms.  

Numbers dont lie

You're taking this way to seriously, it's just a game. And being tired of SCOM is surely something the bandmembers can relate to.

Yeah "bottoms up... fill my cup" aren't the most innovative lyrics, but I love the vocals in the verses, and c'mon... this outro... the song after solo mutates arguably to the best peace of hard rock music that was ever written. Axl and Slash as good as it gets. What a combo.This energy, this anger, this voice, this solo 

Like I said, to me it's probably the best hard rock song ever.

My Michelle.

I've only voted this round and round 2 but the order so far is how I'd do it.

Me too, second time i vote Michelle.

[opalho]

My Top 3 for this would be "Nightrain", "It's So Easy" and "Rocket Queen".

Nah I didn't.  I see its a fun exercise, I get it completely, I even voted.  But being on these forums since 2003/2004, for all that remember being here before they made everyone make usernames around 2005ish.  And people are wishing Axl would do another chat or a member would look here to get the pulse of what the fan base wants.  Yes this is a fun and interesting thing, but it just proves to GNR that what this forum wants is not what they should listen to.  Kinda puts the non stop droning of complaints into perspective

To me Nightrain all the way 

I'm thinking 

1. Nightrain

2. WTTJ

3. RQ

Which isn't how I'd order it but my guess going on voting patterns so far.

This is not a petition for Guns N ' Roses to drop songs from the setlist 

This is just a fun poll to determine what songs we like the most (or least) from Appetite. Popular opinion outside of this forum or YT views shouldn't play into it.

Yes, yes, you're right. God, this album is SO great, truly a masterpiece and a timeless classic.

This game has nothing to do with setlists. Everyone here understands very well why they will always play SCOM or Paradise City at every show. The only point of this game is to rank the album from worst to best by eliminating a song each round. 

[SoundOfAGun]

Tough call between Out Ta Get Me and My Michelle, Out Ta Get Me edges it on pure "Fuck You" energy by a hair....

[thelostrose]

Which song won the last time we did this?

Voted My Michelle for a third consecutive time. OTGM is probably next.

Whenever anybody says "I'm very relaxed but..." You know they are anything but relaxed. Go watch an Adam Sandler movie, turn off your noggin 😁

This isn't a poll to say "hey gnr this is the most popular song, don't play the others" it's a poll to see what we the diehard nutjob fans think is the best and what we'll find in the comments section that even if 10 people have already voted for SCOM there's plenty that disagree. Also, I'm sure gnr would be interested to hear their diehard fanbases opinion and I'd expect that gnr are well aware where the hardcore fan sits with SCOM, jungle, NV etc. If Slash was making a top 10 essential Aerosmith is he going to include cryin', crazy or don't want to miss a thing? I doubt it but they are three huge songs, he/they still remember how it is to be a fan even if they are huge rockstars.

[Jakey Styley]

Had to go with My Michelle - the chorus is kinda weak to me, though I love the riff and the verses.

Slash openly says he hates SCOM

[downzy]

Out To Get Me for this round. 

I like the guitar intro to My Michelle and the opening lyric (opening a song with "Your daddy works in porno" is so absurd that it's great).

Out To Get me is the better live song generally because Axl sounds great on it. 

All in all, My Michelle > Out Ta Get Me

He said he didn't like the intro back then but has come to like it over the years
