GNR Songs you liked at first, but don't like so much anymore? 🤔


Recommended Posts

A Poster on here said he liked Sweet Child Of Mine at first, but overplay made him not like Sweet Child Of Mine so much anymore, and that got me the idea to start this thread. I also had a favorite song in the whole world, but some radio station overplayed it and it was no longer my favorite song in the whole world anymore. Human by The Human League is the song that used to be my favorite song in the whole world until that radio station overplayed it. It's still one of my favorite songs,(It's haunting, chilling beautiful enthralling song) but no longer my sole favorite. 

 

So what GNR Songs did you like at first but don't like so much anymore?

Interesting question Karice. Also no smileys in your text which is a good progress.

1. Don't Cry *

2. Sweet Child O' Mine *

3. Knockin' On Heaven's Door **

 

*Axl's crappy vox at live performances fucked up my feelings for these songs.

** unnecessarily long live turned it into pee/beer break at shows.

There was a period where I was still getting used to the UYI songs and really liked Back Off Bitch for the attitude behind it. It now feels like a filler track for UYI I. It probably would've been better served as a B-side for one of the Appetite singles since it was written and performed in that era.

I love the music behind Back Off Bitch but not the lyrics if that makes sense.

Get In the Ring. I liked it when I was 16 because of Axl's rant but now it ruins the song for me.

You Could Be Mine/Don't Cry (Original)- overplayed imo. The alt version of Don't Cry is amazing though

 

Axl is just ranting his head off in a maniacal mental breakdown rage when he sings Get In The Ring. Get In The Ring had me questioning Axl's mental health when I first heard it. I was like,"Did Axl have a mental breakdown when he recorded GITR? 😱🤨

Madagascar 

Despite the obvious flaws of the 2002 VMA performance, I loved the performance of (Part of) Madagascar, to the point where it was up there with some of my favourite GNR moments, and still is. 

The album version does nothing for me. Never listen to it. 

 

Street of Dreams

Similar to Madagascar, this went from being "Dont Cry" esque, in its mini-epic form, to being a castrated version of "The Blues".

 

So Fine

I don't dislike it, but remember I found it instantly catchy, but i'd struggle to remember it as a GNR song these days.

In fact, thats why i'm writing it here, cos I only remembered it now.

Sounds like KOHD lite. 

 

Scraped

Really liked the music in the song. It has a bit of balls. But the vocals are all over the place.
