Title: The Flashback: My World Post by: CherryGarcia on November 21, 2015, 11:06:30 AM Am curious at the thoughts of the board on this little ditty. I think it's an interesting idea and would've worked as a longer track, amped up synth bass and with some guitars added.

Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: gcluskey on November 22, 2015, 03:55:24 PM It's an interesting track I think. UYI albums threw a lot of different musical ideas about. Was interesting hearing stuff like this from a band like Guns n' Roses. Bands sometimes get criticised when they try different things and change the format. Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, U2... GnR. Some people don't like that band playing a different style song. It's not a song I'd put on right away but I dig it at the end of that album. It's dirty
Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: jarmo on November 22, 2015, 04:02:50 PM I was surprised when I heard it the first time.
But it shows how Axl was already into the use of synthesizers and so on already back then. It's always funny reading people go on about how Axl wanted to go industrial and/or electronic with Chinese Democracy. There is an earlier example of that. :hihi: /jarmo Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: Virolec on November 22, 2015, 04:22:17 PM Given that this is a discussion forum, can we not just assume that pretty much anything written here is going be opinions and subjective and all the rest of it? Can we not just take that as read? Is it something that needs pointed out whenever something critical is said?

I remember I think it was one of the Metallica guys saying Axl was playing them NiN and they were still listening to Slayer...some quote along those lines, but he had his ear to the ground with whatever was new and hot in music, at least in the 80s and 90s. He was promoting Soundgarden and Faith No More even before the 'grunge' era started...As early as 1989 he was saying "Faith No More is the future of rock music."

That's one of the things I wish would've happened. Axl, Trent Reznor and Dave Navarro collaborating on a project would've been killer. He also said around '93 he had a big urge to hear Dave and Slash together: "Trent Reznor from NIN is one [guy I want to work with], and Dave Navarro from Jane's Addiction is another... I've talked to Trent about working with me on an industrial synth project, at least on one song, and I definitely want to work with Dave on something. I've always been curious what he would sound like working with Slash on something."

Maybe a few years later in like 1992-3 it would've worked better. But yeah, just shows that Axl was into that kind of stuff even before people started talking about how he wants to go industrial, techno or disco.... /jarmo Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: Wooody on November 23, 2015, 11:57:16 AM I've always been curious to see the footage when NIN opened up for GNR.

That happened to GNR in 2006 at the metal fest I went to see. :( It was also a shame cause they where great. Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: DeN on November 23, 2015, 12:11:17 PM interesting track because it's the last of the last albums of the old band. it's really short so when I want to listen to it I do it in repeat mode. curious about the lyrics, I wondered if it was a hint at the future sound of the band, or a solo Axl LP. Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: LongGoneDay on November 23, 2015, 12:18:51 PM I think My World is so awful and cheesy that it?s funny.
But it really couldn?t seem more out of place on the Illusions. I think if anywhere, it should have been on an Axl solo album, since it?s basically an Axl song. or maybe a hidden track, that you have to fast forward a few minutes to get to. Basically a courtesy buffer to give listeners time to safely turn the player off before My World begins. A very small gripe, but always felt the the track order on UYI II could have used some tweaking. I always considered My World to be a joke, sort of making Don?t Cry (alt lyrics) the last song on the album. As much as I like Don?t Cry, it?s not the most effective closer. Estranged or YCBM might have made more sense. Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: rebelhipi on November 23, 2015, 03:38:57 PM I think My World is great. First time i heard it i thought that there was something wrong with my cassette ;D
Its a great finish to the Illusion, it creeps you out nicely :P. Axl also wore a NIN shirt in the 1992 Tokyo dvd/vhs during You Could Be Mine. Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: ITARocker on November 23, 2015, 04:04:20 PM My World is just a bad filler. A 10 years old child can do better with any computer today.

It was just like a "we can use computers too" thing. Always my feeling too. Just a total joke of a "song". And what was the point? As for NIN not being enthusiastically received, keep in mind this was 1991. NIN wasn't anywhere near what they would become, and frankly, neither was that genre. If I'm not mistaken, things didn't do much better for Soundgarden in late 1991/early 1992. Same reasons.

Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: sky dog on November 23, 2015, 05:30:53 PM actually the lyrics and the vocals are pretty interesting and twisted to say the least.....b-side on a single.

Unfinished 1st run 1st dabbling/experimenting all in fun demo that became Duff?s favorite song at the time telling me how he loved to blast it at his house with Ice T and the Bodycount guys before Illusions came out and before it was decided to be on the record. I wanted to try and develop it and wanted guitars of some kind but Slash felt and his words at the Record Plant in all seriousness were ?It?s perfect? and Slash and Duff were the deciding factor to have it on the album. :O Personally I feel Duff legitimately liked it but I can?t say Slash did in the same way. In fact I feel he was keenly aware some would take issue with the track and against me so for him in that sense it was ?perfect?. Imo Duff wasn?t aware or part of that and was ?used? unwittingly for support in talking me out of developing it or not including it which at the time I had no real intention of using as is. /jarmo Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: raindogs70 on November 23, 2015, 06:57:07 PM All I found about NIN opening for GNR were two dates.
I read that NIN did 4 dates in Germany, 1 with GNR and 3 were club dates. They met up with GNR again at Wembley, which was also Izzy's last show as an official member.

YYYYiiiiiiieeeeahhhhh-o! Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: EmilyGNR on November 24, 2015, 02:51:10 AM Yeah, I don't think you really got the point there, Emily. I think you are missing the point as well, he clearly said that any 10 year old child with a computer could make a comparable song to My World, so I asked for proof. You then go off on your usual tangent, and ask if he can create it under Axl's name, which is a pretty bizarre request- But I'm sure you had your usual anti-Axl Agenda in mind. Next time you decide to white knight and play keyboard warrior for someone else, at least have a valid approach in mind. :-* Title: Re: The Flashback: My World Post by: ITARocker on November 24, 2015, 03:55:51 AM My World is just a bad filler.
