GN'R Survivor: Singles and Unreleased (1999-2021) ROUND 1

[Gordon Comstock]

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.

Round 1 - ???
Round 2 - ???
Round 3 - ???
Round 4 - ???
Round 5 - ???
Round 6 - ???
Round 7 - ???
Round 8 - ???
Round 9 - ???
Round 10 - ???
Round 11 - ???

 

This I Love is the only remix that had new vocals, so it's the only remix that's included. (Blood In The Water had new vocals but it's not included because it was just 'Blood in the water' repeated for 30 seconds.)

SCOM '99 was just a partial recording and KOHD 2001 didn't seem meant for release, so they were left out. Ten Percenter was a much rougher demo than the others, and obviously Quicksong and Nothing weren't as finished as the other demos. At some point there could be a 'rarities' survivor which could include those, if people want to do it.

I could never listen to that This I Love remix... if someone would be so kind.

I'm going with Absurd.

The released Hard Skool sounds ass compared to the original, so I voted that

The more I listen to both versions, the more I think the Village mix is vastly superior. Even the RM1 Silkworms sounds better than Absurd, even from purely a mixing standpoint. 

I really hope they put some care into future releases. I'd rather have 2008 style overproduction than super loud guitar tracks, quiet drums, and old Axl vocals with little to no collective cohesion. 

[Spoon87]

As someone who has never heard any of the Village leaks, I had to choose between OMG, Absurd and Hard skool, so I obviously went with Absurd.

I still haven't recovered from the moment I clicked on the link to the first GNR single in so many years and it turned out to be such an absurd song. 

I was sitting in a hotel room in Hamburg, Germany and I vividly remember being in a state of shock with my girlfriend peeking out of the bathroom and going "What is this? Any why are you looking like this? What is happening?" 

[Atlas19]

Going down. Since Axl doesn't sing I don't feel it like a GnR song

[jamillos]

I've waited for this poll for what feels like half a year since all this madness started - just to say fuck you Silk Worms Absurd and fuck you to all the hypocrites.

Have a lovely day!

Voted for Eye On You, but Silkworms (2000) is almost as bad.

Everyone who voted for Absurd can go fuck themselves

[Tom2112]

Least favourite and there's people not voting eye on you??? Well ok🤣 eye on you is right beside my world and  Absurd as the worst gnr songs. Not even a question!

They both have terrible choruses and repetitive verses, but at least the chorus in Eye On You is funny and the vocals are better.

Tommy Demo #1

[BangoSkank]

"Silkworms/Absurd" rules - I love pretty much all of the Village leaks, but had to go with "Eye On You".

As a comedic number, eye on you is probably in the running for a comedy grammy

[SlashisGOD]

Voted Eye On You because it’s shit.

When did we start calling it Ten Percenter and why?

A few months ago someone asked Tommy about the song and he said that was the title. I can't remember who originally posted the info, though.

edit: It was Rick who asked about it.
