Karice Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) I haven't listened to Paradise City in a LONG time, like MONTHS. Interesting as I called Paradise City one of my favorite Guns N'Roses songs of all time and I haven't felt the want to listen to it in a long time. Irony at its finest. I did mention on another Guns N'Roses Fan Website something like,"Paradise City was the song that introduced me to how aggressive Axl's vocals really are. My first Guns N'Roses song was Sweet Child Of Mine, and Axl doesn't sing aggressive in Sweet Child Of Mine, so when I heard Paradise City, I was blown away by how aggressive Axl's vocals are in Paradise City and I loved it 😁🤘I listened to more Guns N'Roses songs, and Axl sings very aggressive on a LOT of songs, that's just his trademark, so Paradise City didn't seem all that special to me anymore aggressive wise . I actually prefer Perfect Crime more than Paradise City now as I think Perfect Crime is the superior song to Paradise City. So yeah, I'm just not that interested in Paradise City anymore. On a funny side note, on a non Guns N'Roses related Website, in the off topic section, I started a poll saying something like,"Favorite Guns N'Roses songs?" When I was still heavily obsessed with Paradise City. The Poll ended up having a loophole where the same person could vote for the same option multiple times. I voted for Paradise City over 200 times. 🤣 I had the audacity to boast that Paradise City was the most loved Guns N'Roses song according to the poll! 🤣 A Poster was like," I can't believe Paradise City got over 200 votes! 😒 The lyrics are so juvenile,"Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty!" 😒 I mean really, juvenile lyrics like that for it voted for over 200 times? 😒 Really? 😒" I, Karice responded something like,"And shananana knees, knees, feel my serpentine," lyrics are BETTER lyrics? 😒 The Poster responded something like,"Not really, but I'm not really a fan of Welcome To The Jungle," either." I, Karice, admitted I stuffed the Ballot over 200 times for Paradise City and Posters were like,"I knew something was off when Paradise City got over 200 votes! 🤔 The actual votes for Paradise City were like 5 votes! 🤣😉 Edited March 11, 2023 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbj_jam Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Well bba, I haven't listened to GNR in a long time, except when they inevitably are on the radio. They are a bygone phase for me, as is usually the case with most bands, not that, that's a bad thing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaghetti4twenty Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Anything of Appetite with the exception of Out Ta Get Me. That’s one of my go-to gnr songs. Hits hard when running or driving fast 👍🏻 Edited March 11, 2023 by Spaghetti4twenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalfos Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I usually skip Brownstone, even though I like the song 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked people still listen to gnr daily after 20+ years and shit lol I had a phase from 14-19 when I listened to gnr daily but now I'd only listen to them when I'm drunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a 14 year old ears Get In The Ring sounded hilarious and rebellious but in my 40's it sounds ridiculous and immature." 🤔 Edited April 11, 2023 by Karice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I haven't listened to Oh My God in a very long time, since it's not on Spotify. I love that song. Wish they would add it to Spotify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Nightrain. I'm on a huge indie pop/EDM/Hip Hop binge right now so I haven't listened to much GN'R in general lately. 6 hours ago, Shacklermyrye said: bad apples, raw power Bad Apples is so underrated but I always forget that it exists lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they would add it to Spotify. That's weird. It's on YouTube music. Did you search for the end of days soundtrack? To answer the question I haven't listened to the spaghetti incident in years outside of a couple songs here and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karice Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I think the problem with Bad Apples song is the annoying inflection Axl used when he first sings the words,"Bad Apples." He sounds whiny. 🧐 Edited March 12, 2023 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggers Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Other than checking out the end of the new mix I haven’t listened to November Rain in many years. Edited March 12, 2023 by eggers Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 All of them probably. Been a good while since I listened to GNR. Hard Skool CD being the last thing I liste ed to, about six months ago. Heard Nightrain played on a rock show on the radio the other night and really enjoyed that. As the catalogue is so tiny, and I've had these albums so many years, I rarely listen to them now. If I do it will be the full albums that I get out rather than individual songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_rose Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Hadn't listened to November Rain in years until the UYI boxset. Gave it a couple of listens when it was first out and it popped up on a playlist yesterday. Haven't listen to a lot of Lies or SI either recently. I probably listen to CD most out of the GNR catalogue these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 One in a million for sure. Then look at your game girl mostly because I've almost blown my throat out after I don't care about you. Then reckless life/nice boys. Then 5th least because it's fuckin everywhere is sweet child so skip it on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
