Calm Like A Bomb Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You Could Be Mine without a shadow of a doubt. For the simple facts that it has an amazing fast paced drum intro that just makes you want to move anyway you can and the outro is one of GN'R's greatest outros ever other than Coma of course. Slash's solo work on YCBM is great and Axl is at his best on this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrettyTiedUp763 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 This is not a simple question! Lol. There are so many songs I like. I am going to go with Breakdown or Coma. They are fantastic. And I guess Welcome To The Jungle because that was the first song I ever heard from GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookingThruThisPOV Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I gotta go with Welcome to the Jungle. The song is just fucking perfect in every sense! There aren't too many GnR songs that come off with that sound from the start to finish. Its perfect as the first song on probably the best album in rock history (some AC/DC fans may argue you).

pebbles Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) Welcome to the Jungle. I think its the perfect rock song Edited July 31, 2006 by pebbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firecrown Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Coma is the complete song that represents GNR perfectly. But to compliment their diversity then I think that Estranged is nothing short of incredible as well. I love the classics off AFD but you can't top these two in my opinion. I guess it depends on personal taste but these 2 songs never get old for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungGun Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) Mr. Brown stone, its just catchy and makes you get into the rythmn its real upbeat fast/heavy tiempo. It makes you want to blow the speakers. Tied with this song if thats possible would be Paradise city, because I remember hearing this song for the first time on the radio late night back in 87'/88'and I was like 5 years old jammin out/air guitaring in my underwear...ha ha good times.John Edited July 29, 2006 by YoungGun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brizobst Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 rocket queen, for being the most 'epicy' on afdrunner up for YCBM, for being one of the more 'appetitey' UYI era songsi hope that made a little sense, actually i don't care if it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icet224 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 my vote is a three-way, I admitComa because that song always makes me think about my life, and whether or not I really enjoy whats happening in it, plus... that bass line like a heart monitor is so awesomeEstranged because that song has my personal favorte guitar riff and keyboard riffs of any song I've ever heard(second for keyboard riffs is The Final Countdown by Europe... just kidding, dear god, that song almost ruined keys and synths in my eyes...)and finallyCatcher in the Rye(I know, technically, it doesn't officially exist yet) I just like this song, it sounds uber cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 My top three usually is:Rocket QueenEstrangedDead Horse (underrated gem IMO)But there are so many more amazing GN'R songs that it's almost unfair to make a list. Like Breakdown, Mr. Brownstone, Jungle, Coma and many more are every bit as good as any other song GN'R has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's So Easy is pretty hard to top. That song captures a spirit which is really hard to pull off. When I first heard that it knocked my head off. It's not that I identify so much with it it's more like "Who's those bad motherfuckers" it's totally convincing. It'e the best rock song of the 90s for me.Dust N Bones also from UYI era. I think this song is so original and sticks out in an era of Nu metal and all these new fads and fashions and just says this is rock n roll, this is classic. It has everything a GNR song should be an Izzy tune, so it's whacked out and weird, and then a brilliant Slash solo and Axl's vocals and delivery really show why he was vital to GNRs success.These two songs for it's a toss up between the two. I think based on the production I'd go for Dust N Bones today. A recorded version of Easy might take it but on this day in history I'm going for Dust n Bones. It just has this couldn't careless attitude that just puts me at ease. I don't need much, a beer and this on the stereo and I'm pretty happy camper.1. Dust N Bones2. It's So Easy3. Mr Brownstone4.
