Cheesiest GnR Lyrics

[Captain Obvious]

Hey people,

Got any lyrics/lines that stand out to you as cheesy ones? If so, post em.
I find the following pretty cheesy, although the songs themselves are really good.

"If love is blind,  I guess I'll buy myself a cane" - this sounds like it belongs on a Winger album.


"Now I see the stars alright. I wanna reach right up and grab one for you" - Hahaha


"Ya treat it like a capital crime. Everybody's doin' their time "

[SOH]

"'Cause it would take a lot more time than you
Have got for masturbation
Even with an iron fist
More than ya got to rule a nation"

Good song, but that part just screams for giggles in my opinion.

[Johnnyblood]

"Suck my fuckin dick" comes to mind. A pottymouth fourth grader would say something like that.

[vicarious existence]

The lyrics to "My World".... and also

"I'm gonna kick your ass!" from Get In The Ring... actually most of that song is cheasy.

[Skeletor]

I've always liked the finale of Rocket Queen, but when you think about it, it is pretty cheesy: "I see you standing / standing on your own / it's such a lonely place for you / for you to be.."

Also, Think About You is really cheesetastic.

[Vegar]

I think Silkworms is quite cheesy.

"Listen motherfuckers to this song that should be heard,."

"Pussy for a maggot....."

It reminds a bit of My world.

[Ignatius]

Also, Think About You is really cheesetastic.

Def agreed with that one. Think About You is the cheesiest GNR song. Who wrote that? Izzy did?

I think about you honey
all the time my heart say yes

I think about you
deep inside I love you best

[rose_axl168]

So basicly most of their songs are cheesy??

[Neemo]

no not most of their songs, besides its a personal opinion kinda poll

mine are:

"back off, back off bitch
down in a gutter
lyin' in a ditch

I said ya better back off
back off bitch

It's such a pitty
that your such a bitch"

by far the cheesiest lyrics (off the top of my head)

perfect crime (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)

and

double talkin' jive (double talkin' jive get the money motherfucker cause I got no more patience, man)

they are pretty bad too

[Izzy]

For fans i see an awful lot of 'criticism' aimed at the band

If u lot really think 'Think about you' is cheesy you clearly have no idea what cheesy music is - do some research then come back.

[rose_axl168]

Thats what I dont understand. I dont think any of there songs are cheesy. You want a cheesy song? Listen to someone like the Spice girls!

cmon man, its only a bit of fun. none of there songs are as cheesy as anything by motley crue but as far as guns songs go "think about you" definately lets off a tangy chedar aroma. thats easily the cheesiest guns song.

Izzy, gotta disagree with you on this one. I don't think people are claiming the songs to be bad, just a particular lyric or line that stands out as being a cliche/play on words/humourous, all of which are often classified as cheesy.

I love locomotive and 'think about you', and they aren't performed in a cheesy way, but some lines, when read without the music, bring a smile to my face.

So basicly most of their songs are cheesy??

I'm guessing GnR has around 50 songs in their catalogue. A few specific lines from a song doesn't make it a cheesy song, and it doesn't come close to making most of their songs cheesy.

"If love is blind,  I guess I'll buy myself a cane" - this sounds like it belongs on a Winger album.

I recently read Q magazine's 1991 review of the UYIs, and they said all UYIs' lyrics were rubbish, except that line.

[anarchy]

I think Silkworms is quite cheesy.

"Listen motherfuckers to this song that should be heard,."

"Pussy for a maggot....."

Well they aren't even the lyrics to Silkworms, so I don't see how trhey can be cheesy.

Don't take it personally mate. This is not intended to critize the band. You may consider taking a deep breath before posting next time.

We all like GNR around here. Otherwise we would prob post in the Poison message board.

[Danny]

All of the lyrics to Civil War blow cheesy chunks.  I hate that fucking song.

"What's so civil about war anyway" makes me want to start a war everytime I hear it.

Q magazine can bite my glorious golden behind. UYI has some of the best lyrics ever written imo. If the hack from q magazine could write the following then he could comment. Otherwise I suggest he gets back in his box

Got your mind in submission
Got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger
They just stepped aside
They be down by the water
While you watch 'em waving goodbye
They be callin' in the morning
They be hangin' on the phone
They be waiting for an answer
When you know nobody's home
And when the bell's stopped ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own
There were always ample warnings
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin'
But we gave you too much time
And when you said
That no one's listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting
For a way to spend our time
An "It's so easy" to be social
"It's so easy" to be cool
Yeah it's easy to be hungry
When you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you
With what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take some time
To heal the broken memories
That another man would need
Just to survive

[Skeletor]

Back at ya..

No kidding, whoever wrote that article probably only understands that one line, or just didn't actually read the lyrics. That piece from Coma is a lyrical masterpiece...probably the best piece of GnR lyrics.  These types fo cases make me wonder what review journalists are for.
