Get eliminated motherfucker, 'cause we got no more patience!

Double Talkin' Jive....is gone!

Which song will be next to go?

Round 1 - Bad Apples
Round 2 - You Ain't The First
Round 3 - Back Off Bitch
Round 4 - Bad Obsession
Round 5 - Live And Let Die
Round 6 - Garden Of Eden
Round 7 - The Garden
Round 8 - Dust N' Bones

HOW IT WORKS: Each round, you vote for your LEAST FAVORITE of the options. The option with the most votes gets eliminated in the next round, and so on, until only one song remains.

Ok now that DTJ is gone, it's officially getting really fucking difficult. It's impossible, I haven't even voted yet!

[Free Bird]

Dead Horse until it's dead.

[lilacmess]

Dead Horse.

[King_Johnny]

Assuming the next two rounds eliminate DH and DDM the round when we get to DC, NR and Coma will be very interesting.

Those that aren't big fans of the ballads having to pick one of two songs, whereas those drawn to the ballads being more likely to vote Coma. Potential for Coma to get voted out when if we were voting for favourite song and eliminating the one with fewest votes I think it would make the final.

November Rain, two ballads left in the running at this stage is a fucking disgrace. Don't Cry can do one after NR is gone.

Don't cry LOL LOL LOL

Why is it still alive. Its awful.

[SoulMonster]

Dead Horse again... and again, and again, and again.

[Kardeshma]

The vote of UYI I is confusing.

I prefer many of the songs that have already been eliminated over don't damn me, November rain, dead horse or don't cry, but here we are, that's the fun of this game.

Don't Cry is my current pick to win, based on it having the least votes out of any song still in the game, across all the rounds

At least until only two songs are left.

[Sosso]

The last nine songs + LALD would have made an album equally as good as AfD. 

[Euchre]

Somewhat oddly this poll is reminding me of why I went off the Illusions relatively quickly after their release…

[We love Axl Rose]

This time I have to, please Don't Damn Me.

[SlashisGOD]

Went with Dead Horse but it’s really difficult at this point.

Same and same. Great song, but can't top the rest. 

 

So glad Don't Damn Me is getting so much love. 

[Ratam]

Coma.

What’s wrong with ballads?

Nope.

My second favourite song after Estranged.

It was the song that got me to start playing piano when I was 12 (and I still play nearly thirty years later).

If it har never been released and Axl released it tomorrow, everyone here would be out of their minds. 

I think it’s Axl’s most ambitious song he’s ever written. It is anything but a simple song with respect to chord progressions and the overall structure.  Very few artists have ever succeeded in composing a song as ambitious as NR and it actually working.

It only suffers from it being played as often as it has.  But objectively, there are very few other songs like it. 

In my opinion it’s GNR’s Stairway to Heaven.

Nothing wrong with them, just the amount of non ballads that have fallen in their wake. UYI I is the fire of the two albums and should be represented in that manner. Ending with DC and NR in the top 3 is not representative of the best material on the album IMO.

Or perhaps those two songs are better liked than all the “fire?”

That’s a different way of evaluating each song.  Personally I’ve never thought of one album heavier than the other. Nor do I really associate each song with other songs on the album.
