Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Don't know if this has been done before, but what song do you think is the best lyrically, music aside? I would say probably Coma or Estranged, Don't Damn Me is pretty high up there, but I think Coma and Estranged take the crown...thoughts?

its only been done about 34352642765456454 times but at least you put this in the right section

I would have to go with Estranged, locomotive, breakdown and coma!  :beer:

Locomotive.. again.

lyricly? thats kinda tough since GNR has many good lyrics. umm...let's see....i'd say November Rain.

Coma hands down for me. When Axl goes off for the last 2 minutes of the song the lyrics are fucking amazing.

I'll have to go with November Rain,

Coma or Locomotive

I am a big gnr fan but i dont have all the cds yet...im kinda poor...but anyways, i really think estranged, november rain and dont cry have good lyrics!!!!!

There are so many songs to pick and choose from, its hard to narrow it down to one.  Its nearly impossble...  November Rain, Sweet Child of Mine, Patience, Coma, and Estranged are all lyrical masterpieces beyond even the most spirited song writer's imagination but the one song that truly stood out to me was One in A million.  The lyrics were so raw and spoke for so many individuals at the time, it was a breakthrough.  "Just a small town white boy, just tryin to make ends meet", he is touchin base with so many people.... when I heard that phrase, I thought of myself.  That song never made the radio due to some controversial lyrics, but if that song would have earned air play, it would have ended up being a classic in the eyes of many!  :smoking:

My favourites: Coma, November Rain, WTTJ, OIAM, Locomotive, Breakdown, Estranged, Reckless Life..

GNR = great lyrics

The whole AFD (minus Anything Goes, Think About You, Out ta Get Me and You're Crazy), plus DTJ, Bad Obsession, Coma, Locomotive, Estranged, Pretty Tied Up... there's a lot of great lyrics. My personal favourites (today) are Pretty Tied Up, WTTJ and Coma : ok:

coma is very meaningful  : ok:

Personal favorite:

Breakdown  : ok:

Funny how ev'rything was Roses when we held on to the Guns

Lyrically i don't think you can beat Sweet Child O' Mine, because the verses just rule!

Not easy this, but Coma for me...

Don't Damn Me, Locomotive and Breakdown.

Don't Damn Me!

And don't!

Estranged, Coma and Locomotive... I love these musics? ;D

coma is a really good song, i just got the UYI1 cd last week, so i know what it is now  :) dont damn me is a good song lyrically too.

Man Im going to have to break this down in a way lol..TOO HARD TO CHOOSE!

Estranged: Fits any bad situation you can ever be in....the lyrics are beautiful, that song is such a "hit close to home" type of song for everyone and anyone....just simply amazing. My favorite GnR song

Don't Cry: Ive had some really good cries to this song...and I dont cry hardly at all lol...The lyrics (particulary to the ORIGINAL version) are just breath-taking!

Sweet Child O' Mine: How can you go wrong with this song?

Breakdown: AWESOME lyrics!

The end of the Rocket Queen lyrics: The part where it starts "I see you standing" those Lyrics are some of the most heartfelt, true and prettiest lyrics Ive ever heard..

Basically all GnR songs are amazing...those are just some of the few that are outstanding!

ya, those lyrics are really kool. its about love and friendship and stuff. lol, axl must have been in a softy kinda mood when he wrote those lyrics...if he did write them, maybe duff or slash or izzy or sumone else did

haah yeah he must have been in a GOOD mood lol....but you cant NOT love those Axl BAD MOOD songs lol
Erin

Izzy wrote the song

No.?

Unless you want to correct Jarmo and this website and some magazines, Axl wrote the lyrics:

I wrote this song for this girl who was gonna have a band and she was gonna call it Rocket Queen. She kinda kept me alive for a while.
Axl - Hit Parader March 1988

Besides, the ending lyrics are so obviously Axl-like, I dont see how anyone could not guess he wrote them.? They're about fear of abandonment - big Axl theme.

---

Lyrically, my favorite song is Breakdown.  Yes, Axl wrote those lyrics.

The lyrics r all really good, but for me it's you could be mine cos it reminds me a bit of my life.
but besides that coma or dont cry.   : ok: 

Breakdown

November Rain is no doubt the best, such a beautiful song.

If you read the lyrics to Locomotive closely, you'll see that they are really,really deep.. Don't misunderstand me: Most of the lyrics are both deep and great ! Even when they write about sex, drugs and violence, they are made with inteligence, but Locomotive is my favourit one, with Coma right behind...

I'd have to say November Rain, Estranged, Breakdown

rocket queen

The end of RQ, November rain, estranged, don't cry. those are the best lyrically.

estranged , the pause before 'without you' is heart breaking. amazin lyrics alos bad apples for comedy value
