What is the general consensus on the worst GnR song of all time?

[The Dog]

Shotgun blues is up there for sure.

I dig Get In The Ring....its a great song that sums up Guns vs. the rest of the world attitude.  It gives us an actual Axl rant in a song which is pricless and how can you NOT like the ending when Duff thanks all the GNR fans "who have stuck with us, through all the FUCKING SHIT" hahaha its cheesy to some degree, but its a fun song.  Slash is pretty good in it too.

[Mikkamakka]

Silkworms. The worst song I've ever heard.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

My WOrld doesn't count!? Its a silly clip at the end of UYI II, stop being so serious!

+1
yeah, said the same thing a few posts back.....my world doenst count people! silkworms does,,,so everyone...go pick that one? ?

In my opinion, if it has it's own track on a CD, then it's a song.

so you consider some of the filler things on Tool's lateralus album as a song? There's a track on it which contains nothing but a creepy monster roar sound for like 1 minute or something (cant remember exactly, it's been a while) I wouldn't count something like that as a song...... My World is at the end of the album for a reason......

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

     ok....cant argue that 

[Oh My Choking Soul]

I hate anything with any member singing but Axl.

I hate anything with lyrics that make me cringe, i.e. Get in the Ring, My World, Shotgun Blues, Cornshucker.

Everything on Appetite is exempt because it is genius.

Everything on Lies, exempt.

UYI very much laced with crap. My humble opinion.

I reserve judgement on Silkworms until I hear studio version.

[Continental Drift]

The general consesus I've observed is that "My World" is considered the worst GN'R song ever.... I don't mind it though. If nothing else it really makes UYI a total fvcking potpouri of musical styles, and critics can't give Axl too much sh1t now for experimenting with industrial rock... he had the balls to put an industrial track on an album in 1991... kind makes him look like a bit of a visionary- even if people don't dig it.

"Oh My God" was not well received intitially, but there's strong support for it among certain segments of the GN'R community that I have noticed. It's not Sweet Child O' Mine... but I don't mind it.

Personally, my least favorite is "Anything Goes"- it just doesn't seem like Guns N' Roses to me... seems more like a lame 80's party band song about sex... it seems like every band on the strip in the 80's had a sex song like this one... it's just not fresh to me the way the rest of AFD is... I guess the counter-argument is that AFD is all about sex, drugs and rock n' roll and "Anything Goes" is the sex element... but I think the whole "sex thing" was covered pretty thoroughly with some of the lyrics in "It's So Easy" and the recording of Axl banging that chick on "Rocket Queen".

Personally, I would have preferred "Bad Obsession" or "Crash Diet" on AFD instead of "Anything Goes".

Don't get me wrong, I do see your point, but imo anything with a track label is considered a song. ?But I'll say going by your example, I would consider Shotgun Blues or Get In The Ring as pretty crappy songs.

[W. Adam S]

I never liked You're Crazy on Lies, it bores me.

[Pinball Wizard]

I'b have to say that the worst thing that GN'R ever did was My World...

I mean, I do like the lyrics, but the song is awful!

[mikegiuliana]

silkworms

[Eclipsed107]

I can't believe I'm the first person to say this (since years ago this song won hands down)...

You Ain't The First.

That song is awful, just listen to those lyrics.. ugh.

[Oh My Choking Soul]

OK, now I wanna hear silkworms... anyone have it?

[Eclipsed107]

go to Appetite for Collection board 'Oh My Choking Soul'.

Got it thanks.

[Mike McKagan]

Another reason I think MY WORLD has to be considered a real track is because it has a songwriting credit in the CD booklet (Rose). ?ANYTHING GOES is the worst song on Appetite, but it has too much going on musically to be their worst song overall. ?Ditto with GET IN THE RING. ?Sometimes I imagine what we would've gotten if Slash had put that fantastic blues opening in service of something a little more substantial. ?MY WORLD is their worst studio effort for two reasons. ?First, it's not really Guns N' Roses, but just Axl putting together his own little coda for UYI II. ?More importantly, though, Axl's style on the song just doesn't work for the industrial feel of the tune itself, in my opinion. ?It always bothered me that it was the final statement from the UYI albums, and when I transferred everything over to iTunes, it's the only GN'R song I left out.

[Oh My Choking Soul]

Silkworms is bad.

[axls#2]

Much like alot of the illusions, I didn't like "You ain't the first" initially but now i actually enjoy it when i m feeling really mellow, hated So Fine at first too, but again, Certain days that song just really does it for me. ?But if I had to really chose I would have to say "So Fine". ?I guess the consensus around here is silkworkms, oh my god and my world. ?

[fear the juggalo]

i think i am the only guy that likes my world, it was very new & way before it's time, plus i dont know if you can call it a real song. i dont care for anything goes or back off bitch.

[Oh My Choking Soul]

I love Oh My God. I think it has one of the strongest melodies of any GnR song. I was so surprised that it was not a hit. I think there were production problems, that song could have been much more.

[Megaguns]

Shotgun blues is up there for sure.

I dig Get In The Ring....its a great song that sums up Guns vs. the rest of the world attitude.? It gives us an actual Axl rant in a song which is pricless and how can you NOT like the ending when Duff thanks all the GNR fans "who have stuck with us, through all the FUCKING SHIT" hahaha its cheesy to some degree, but its a fun song.? Slash is pretty good in it too.

I ALWAYS thought it was axl at the end? Are you sure its Duff? Anyhow, Get in the ring is brilliant, I have the song minus vocals and it had potential to be much better, but i say it kicks ass anyway. I have never been a huge fan of My world.
