Popular Post MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted November 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2022 UYI aged magnificently, they're tastefully layered, cleverly diversified album with fantastic performances. Could they get better? Imho, no. To me it's the best album ever and nothing will top them, not even a new GNR album. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never thought of it as a song, it’s more like a skit, such as found on hip hop albums of the same era 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"My World" is the wrong song, for the wrong band at the wrong time, but nothing different than what Nine Inch Nails, Korn, Ministry, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Deftones would do years later. Being "My World" made and played by one of those bands would it be that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but see I think the same about AFD, but not the acoustic side of Lies, I think is so nostalgic and sad nowdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Inch Nails’ debut record released in 1989. We really shouldn’t even imply “My World” was an influence. It was the other way around. As others have said, people always take “My World” way too seriously. Just like “Absurd” or other songs that aren’t considered A-listers. Not everything is going to be or is supposed to be “November Rain.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "my world" was a song by any of those bands it would be considered a good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazednDazed Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) The albums are loaded with amazing songs. The only songs I feel like are filler are my world you ain’t the first and KOHD.

The concept of My World as a more realized industrial song with the rest of the band isn't a bad one but didn't he apparently record it himself without the other members realizing? Oh My God feels like a better attempt at it years later and My World at best should've been a B-Side because it's a jarring end to Use Your Illusion Ii.

JimiRose Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Imagine if it was just one album? how even further starved the discography would be, so I'm glad they released them all. Filler or not is subjective, some people will like ones that others don't, so this alone makes it worthwhile including all. And, even though my world is mostly disliked, UYI were the perfect albums for it. sprawling, everything they had, why not stick it on there? I only hope Axl takes this approach to CD2. 28 songs, everything left, just release it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant000 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Forget the one album talk they should have put all the TSI stuff they had on there, too. And peppered in some skit tracks of the band in various hijincks. UYI needed to be 3 albums Edited November 19, 2022 by Ant000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the same thing with Look At Your Game Girl, but I agree with Oh My God, the same with Silkworms / ABSURD.

Blackstar Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Again, Slash and Duff knew about My World. Only Izzy didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqleonardo Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I don't really see any filler on UYI I, maybe Back Off Bitch feels a little out of place there but UYI II... I never cared about Get In The Ring, Don't Cry (alt lyrics), Breakdown... and My World, but like people here already said, don't think it was a song to be taken that seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Back Off Bitch really sticks out as a cheesy hair-metal leftover. You can definitely tell that Axl wrote the lyrics when he was a teenager, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I don’t know that there’s any filler on the album for me. Back in the day before it came out I had read/possibly seen Axl say it was a dump of all the material they had and that they wanted to bury Appetite (Something along those lines) So I took it as that when it came out, 2 double albums of a lot of material. Some would be good and some wouldn’t. My World wasn’t even a surprise. It was a surprise how great almost every tune was. The illusions material that I don’t like is mostly because of Lyrics or Overdubs. Musically they’re all pretty great. Over 8 sides of vinyl, it’s more killer than filler. Duff… what were you thinking when you wrote those lyrics to So Fine…. Sometimes you just gotta blame the man and not the drugs… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just kickass rock and roll, like you would expect from Slash/Duff/Izzy. The Gunners had a unique sound compared to so many other bands of that time period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Here's my take: Bangers, in no particular order: - Dust N' Bones - Double Talkin Jive - November Rain - Dead Horse - Don't Cry - Coma - Civil War - 14 Years - Yesterdays - Pretty Yied Up - Locomotive - Estranged - You Could Be Mine Decent to good tracks: - Breakdown - You Ain't The First - Back Off Bitch - Don't Damn Me - Live And Let Die - KOHD - The Garden - So Fine Fillers and songs I just don't care for: - Right Next Door To Hell - Perfect Crime - Garden of Eden - Bad Apples - Get in the Ring - Shotgun Blues - My World 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
