Fun: Misheard GN'R lyrics!

[faldor]

Ok, I'm not trying to be funny as Saffron has, but I do remember not too long ago I thought in Paradise City Axl sang " Captain America is gonna fuck now" instead of " C.A's been torn apart now"

I still don't know exactly what Axl sings during the outro of Paradise City.  What does he say after "I wanna see...."  I've never been able to make that out.  Can anyone clear that up?

I believe it's " I wanna see... how good it can be"  but who knows

You know, I think you're right.  Thanks for clearing that up.

From Dead Horse: "Maybe if I looked real hard I'd see a giant too."

Twin Peaks was popular at the time, I was eleven years old, and it all made sense 

This made me crack up, hardcore.

Here's mine:

"human growth's restored" in Civil War.  Should be "human grocery store"
"Sad woman", "Sad sugar" in Patience. Should be "Said woman", "Said sugar"

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

my mate thought better went

"no-one ever told me when im on the phone they jus thought id know hitler, hitler" 

[Izzy_23]

I thought Axl said Wedding Car instead of Credit Card in Nightrain.

[doooodickiebr]

i used to know a girl who had a HUGE mole on her back - the size of a nipple.  her name was elizabeth.  we used to sing "take me down to the elizabeth city where all the girls have an extra titty"   kinda off subject but worth sharing.  wonder if she ever got that thing removed....

[Buckeye]

In Welcome to the Jungle, at 1:57, I always thought Axl was saying "you got to remember what you see"
The real lyrics are "If you got a hunger for what you see"
Even after knowing the real lyrics, when I listen to the song I still hear "remember" as opposed to "hunger"


Also, I know this isn't a "misheard" lyric, but more of an ambiguous lyric:
In One in a Million, at 2:30, Axl says, "or spread some fucking disease" in reference, presumably, to AIDS.
I was never sure if he was using "Fucking" to mean "Damn" - as in it's a bad disease.
or if he was using "Fucking" literally, to mean AIDS is a fucking disease - you get it by fucking people.
If I ever met Axl, I'd ask him to clarify this.

Ditto on the "Rockets end up walking in the cold November rain"


"Blame it on the falling gong, the see the end and they can't hold on"-chinese

"When at night you're sitting pretty on a pedistal of pain" -TWAT


also the "pearls of rock n roll decadence" -Pretty Tied Up

....and of course "COOL RANCH DRESSING"

[Wooody]

and later from my michelle ... "your daddy watches pornos now that mommys not around" lol

OH MY GOD ! Up untill I read your post I used to think those where the lyrics too !!

but  a bit different, ''your daddy's watching porno, now that mommy's not around''

and to add to the misheard lyrics ''' she used to love her high wind but now she's underground''


instead of used to lover her heroine

[Wooody]

"Blame it on the falling gong, the see the end and they can't hold on"-chinese

"When at night you're sitting pretty on a pedistal of pain" -TWAT


also the "pearls of rock n roll decadence" -Pretty Tied Up

I hear those too 

[Let Me Hear It Now]

On Pretty Tied Up, Axl says 'cool and stressing' but it sounds very much like Cool Ranch Dressing.

The liner notes say

"cool and stressing
(pronounced Cool Ranch Dressing)"

When I first listened to "Civil War" I thought that when he sings:

"And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy"

it actually was

"And in my first memories
They shot Kenny G"

....

Fun thread, this one.

no one's mentioned "rednecks go to hell" yet... strange.

[Mama Kin]

I thought "you can take the pity so far" from You Could Be Mine was "you can take the biggest sofa"

Oops.

Garden of Eden

at the very beginning if I used to think i heard "It's a credit card solution"

as opposed to "It's a critical solution..."

[Naltav]

I used to love her, but I had tequila..... 

Instant classic!!!  Can't stop smiling about that one!!   

PS: Doesn't exactly fit this thread, but in Slash's book he said the lyricks to Paradise City was at first: "Take me down to the paradise city, where the girls are pretty and they got big titties"  (sounds more like a M?tley Cr?e-song to me...)

WOW so that wasnt just me then ha ha. i forgot bout that one

i had nightrain as my ringback tone and it sounds like axl is saying "i want an ice scream" instead of "im on the nightrain"
