Use Your Illusion II Survivor - Round 1

[StrangerInThisTown]

Anyway, this is the TOUGHEST album to vote for by far. I have a connection to almost every single song

Not for me.  Estranged will never get my vote.  And Yesterdays will only get my vote if Estranged is no longer an option.

My World really never bothered me - I always saw it as some kind of outro rather than a real song. It's a weird outro thingy at the end of a monumental double album, pretty cool.

GITR is the worst song of all time.

I think based on the percentage of votes we can say that My world is the worst song in GN'R' catalogue in the eyes of us hardcore fans

It's a tie between my world and Absurd as far as original officially released gnr music. 

I believe we can say goodbye to My World😄

I like stuff like OMG, My World and Silkworms/Absurd but I guess I’m in the minority there. Would rather listen to any of those than GITR, at least.

Get in the ring is fun. Top 10 on UYI? No chance but the rant is great in my opinion. Most people hearing it for the first time thought it was bad ass. It's a little juvenile but whatever! I wouldn't drip it from the album... We'll outside of if it was pick one great album from the two.

GITR has the coolest intro and it rocks. Not sure how that counts for nothing even if someone doesn't like the lyrics. I don't have to relate to all the lyrics of songs I listen to. Sometimes I just want something that rocks and GITR is a badass rocker.

I like the “idea” of the rant cause it acts as a sorta “time capsule” relating to the journalists of the time, but something about the way Axl delivers it just feels “off” to me.

my world > shotgun blues, so fine, and get in the ring without even a second of hesitation

I am seriously pissed off.

Obviously it's going to be My World but I'm a long time So Fine hater so that's my choice until it goes. Worst ever GNR song. 

[Rovim]

I enjoy Slash's tasty leads in So Fine and the vocal melodies are also nice. GITR is cool musically and the rant is so ridiculous that I find it amusing. Voted My World.

[alfierose]

Someone voted for Civil War. Are you having a laugh mate? 

[Free Bird]

Yeah, So Fine is at least a song, played on real instruments, has a nice solo and a cool rnr chorus. My World isn't even a proper song.

I think a lot of bands would be happy if they had written such song.

Most predictable round ever lol

[kozydogg]

Looking forward to this one.  To me, II is the stronger of the Illusions albums.

As someone who wasted all their UYI I votes trying to kill a song... and I failed, I still commend you✊✊ So fine will go out early first 4/5 I'd say! 

[Nice Boy]

I could never put my finger on why Shotgun Blues is such a weak song, but it is.

GITR would’ve been ok kept as a punk song without the puerile crap at the end.

So Fine is just, meh

My World isn’t even a song, it’s just a skit. And cringeworthy.

I'd say Absurd is easily the worst song they've released. At least My World ends quickly and isn't too repetitive.

No he isn't 

Both great but I also prefer the second.

[Blackstar]

I voted for KOHD. I think the album version is uninspired.
