They did this years ago on another show when good bands make bad songs/videos, I think it's the whole overdone video with the dolphins and wasn't up to par with the trilogy..

I personally think the song rocks, but the video was a little much.. The most raw, wild, & untamed rock band in the 80's became the biggest staged act..

they made fun of the piano solos.. they were like "i expect a guitar solo but what do i get? a piano solo" or somethin like that.. but they forget to mention the kickass guitar solos in the song.. i love estranged the song and the video equally.. i dun give a shit..

Thanks 2 those who went 2 Mustang Harry's on May 12th. That made my first concert experience something I'll never forget. Never did I feel like I fit in anywhere as much as I did amongst you strangers

Anything from nelson to winger to bon jovi is considered metal on these shows.. It's just the time period or type of band I believe..

They had metal moments, but it consists of hard rock as well..

Yeah YG, I think the song is amazing, just seems like that's the one that gnr gets nailed about.. I remember tom petty's last dance with mary jane was getting more credit that year..

They can say it's the song, but trust me the video is the reason I believe it's getting shit on..

Are VH1 trying to win an award for 'Most Ignorant and Unfunny Show of 2004'?  This program would win it.  What the fuck are they doing?  The sad thing is half the people watching it will say "GN'R are a shit band cos VH1 said so".

Try making some quality programming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair, VH1 give GNr major props on these countdown shows. I wouldnt go crazy over this but I just think they are wrong when saying Estranged is a horrible song....

Metal sucks, and very often, metal fans are totally closed-minded. In fact it's because they are used to listening to...noize. Estranged is fantastic, piano is fantastic it's one of the most wonderfull instrument to play.

GNR_green don't get bent, it's a stupid show just like the crazy rolling stone top 500 song's list.. The same with the guitarist n frontmen of all time..

Just put it this way ti got alot of airtime on mtv back in it's day, I use to watch the countdown every time and it woulkd battle tom petty for first.. I think if gnr stayed tight this would have never happened, it was snubbed att he vmas as well.

This is the main reason why I love GnR, because as far as I am concerned they are not a heavy metal band. A band who write songs like Estranged, Breakdown, The Blues, Madagascar, So Fine etc are way not a metal band. They are a Rock n Roll band in their own league. How do you define Heavy Metal or Rock and Roll though? I for one cant stand bands like Iron Maiden, Mettalica (apart from a couple of their songs), etc, these are bands that are really classed as Heavy Metal arent they? I would never put GnR in this category of music. I think Estranged is the greatest song ever written and the video is okay too.

I wouldn't take VH1 seriously. I mean they spend their time making all these lists. Tomorrow they'll be counting down the 50 best butts of all time.? Roll Eyes I'm not gonna be offended by their lameness.

VH1 i use to like but what the hell?  they have some ridiculous countdowns and its one of those things they need to give up, it was cool the first few lists but like reality tv and everything else it always gets over done.

i guess in some ways Estranged to those who are narrow minded was maybe GNR jumpin the shark or something with  the self indulgent, long, weird metaphoric video *a video that u need intelligence to understand,how dare GNR*

VH1 have no taste, look at the gay college GQ pretty preppy frat boy lookin gay rock they push now on their station.

well, it was 'not so street'. But one of the best songs ever with a bit overproduced Danielle Steele-pink video.

well, it seems you're the one who is closed-minded. you can't generalize that all metal sucks. there are lots of different styles, much have lots of melodies, but harder riffs. so what? just if you don't like it, doesn't mean shit. the only thing that sucks is your post, get some perspective!
btw, Estranged is my fav GnR track.
