Title: Appetite then Contraband Post by: slashedguns on August 17, 2004, 05:40:20 AM Appetite is the greatest album of all time,no doubt. Im sure most of you agree on that.. I have to say though Contraband for me is a more complete album than either of the Illusions. The Illisions have song amzing songs,some of the best ive ever known but combined they have too much filler. Contraband verses either illusions on its own is a better record. :peace:
Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Dave_Rose on August 17, 2004, 07:55:02 AM How can you compare the Illusions to Contraband :no: There are both to different types of albums and there is no way Illusions touches Contraband you couldn't imagine VR doing something like November Rain or Estragned we need to stop comparing.

Maybe you should take a look again at your views on GNR - maybe u ain't a fan at all, and should now move on to fresher pastures? Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Genesis on August 17, 2004, 03:40:20 PM What the old GN'R had doesn't compare with VR.. VR is good but doesn't have the same spark...
Damn you Axl! Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Walapino on August 17, 2004, 03:43:12 PM Contraband is a very good record but Illusions blows it apart.
Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Doc Emmett Brown on August 17, 2004, 03:54:46 PM I have to say though Contraband for me is a more complete album than either of the Illusions. CB is more cohesive than UYI... It has focus and direction and other related attributes that UYI does not. But ultimately, when it comes to the pleasure of listening, I still prefer UYI. :peace: Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: K-Rock on August 17, 2004, 10:03:32 PM Appetite is the greatest album of all time,no doubt.

Maybe you should take a look again at your views on GNR - maybe u ain't a fan at all, and should now move on to fresher pastures? Same pathetic view, same pathetic statement. Maybe slashedguns believes the greatest band of all time is Guns N' Roses (Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff & Steven). Maybe he holds a "low" regard concerning the latest version of Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses has many different versions.? I'd say if you like any of the versions, you are certainly entitled to consider yourself a "fan". But this is the "Wasn't Yesterday Great" area of the board....is it not??? And this is the "Velvet Revolver" section of the "Wasn't Yesterday Great" area......is it not?? So, then, like, uh-huh....this would be the correct pasture to communicate such an "opinion". There is a "Guns N' Roses" section where you can go park yourself and discuss what might have been....or what may be. Here, we actually get to comment on a real-live cd and a real-live tour.

I think that The Illusion albums were more like the Beatles White album, a mosaic of different styles, and Pink Floyd's The Wall--art rock. Contraband is more like AFD in being just a great, rock record. And for the record, THERE IS NO FILLER ON EITHER ILLUSION ALBUM!!!! Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: K-Rock on August 17, 2004, 11:00:25 PM And for the record, THERE IS NO FILLER ON EITHER ILLUSION ALBUM!!!! NO FILLERS ON AFD!? NO FILLERS ON CONTRABAND! UYI I fillers: Perfect Crime You Aint The First Bad Apples Dead Horse UYI II fillers: Get In The Ring Don't Cry (Alt. lyrics) My World Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Top-Hatted One on August 18, 2004, 12:22:22 AM Bad Apples is my least favorite GN'R song followed by Shotgun Blues.
I don't even count 'My World' as a song It's more like a last drop of one's bowel movement! Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: RichardNixon on August 18, 2004, 01:09:01 AM And for the record, THERE IS NO FILLER ON EITHER ILLUSION ALBUM!!!! NO FILLERS ON AFD!? NO FILLERS ON CONTRABAND! UYI I fillers: Perfect Crime You Aint The First Bad Apples Dead Horse UYI II fillers: Get In The Ring Don't Cry (Alt. lyrics) My World To each his own. I like "Perfect Crime" and "Bad Apples." I love "Dead Horse." "You Ain't the first" is ok, but not great. I love "Get in the Ring" and "My World" believe it or not :o Don't Cry (Alt.) is a good way to bring the album to the ground after YCBM. Filler on AFD Your Crazy Anything Goes Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Eazy E on August 18, 2004, 01:22:29 AM Filler on AFD Your Crazy Anything Goes Man... if only those two songs were replaced by Back Off Bitch and You Could Be Mine. :o Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: RichardNixon on August 18, 2004, 01:38:43 AM Filler on AFD Your Crazy Anything Goes Man... if only those two songs were replaced by Back Off Bitch and You Could Be Mine.? :o Back Off Bitch after SCOM might be a little...odd?

UYI I fillers: Perfect Crime You Aint The First Bad Apples Dead Horse UYI II fillers: Get In The Ring Don't Cry (Alt. lyrics) My World Quote Do It For The Kids Illegal 1 song spectacle You Got Know Right Superhuman Those are some pretty good songs but they could of done better Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: younggunner on August 20, 2004, 11:19:05 AM I find it funny how the people who love to say how CB is better than UYI or even AFD,{ i know stop laughing} yet these are the same same peopel that denounce any notion that new gnr can do better than old gnr because as they say, what made old gnr great and untouchable, was the fact that they were a "group" of 5 members who all equally "contributed" in making some special albums. Yet those same people are telling me how CB is better than some GNR efforts. Even though there missing one of the greatest frontman rock has ever known. Strange.
Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Top-Hatted One on August 20, 2004, 02:27:42 PM I think maybe 1 person out of the 10,000 people here said they preferred Contraband over Appetite
Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: Wheres Izzy on August 20, 2004, 02:34:30 PM I keep seeing this garbage about 'filler' on the illusion albums. Maybe it's me but I can play em both straight thru and not want to skip one song. (that's of course not counting 'my world' because that never really happened.) Some of the songs most often referred to as filler are some of my favorites. I may be alone but Get in the Ring is fuckin awesome. I like Bad apples alot too. And every other song from both albums (again not including 'my world' which is just a myth-UYI2 only has 13 tracks)
Title: Re: Appetite then Contraband Post by: matt88 on August 21, 2004, 12:09:48 AM Your Crazy and Anything Goes filler? Get fucked, your fuckin cazy :rant:
Dead Horse and Perfect Crime filler? No bloody way. Contraband better than the Illusions? They ain't even in the same league. |
