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

[mikegiuliana]

BM I agree with a lot of what you are saying, there was some definite filler on the illusions

[AxlFink]

Get in the ring...is amateur hour lameness...shotgun blues is dumb...so fine is so gay... KOHD on UYI 2 is embarrassing (the telephone and that lame discussion)... and Breakdown. Oh shocked are you? Truth is, is that this song pains me most because it tricks you. It tricks you into thinking its a beautiful song, then half way through, it tries too puke on you and take a crap on you at the same time. I hate how good this song could have been.

Silkworms is so fucking bad in a get in the ring kind of way. The tweaker part of my past actually kind of digs My world though. There is actually quite a few really bad GN'R songs. And 99% of them appear on the UYI's.

[z16bitsega]

I'm almost certain it was Slash at the end of Get In The Ring, which by the way is an amazing song except for the rant in the middle.

Silkworms would be awesome if it wasn't the second to last song both times they performed it.  Axl's voice was just failing miserably by that time in both shows.

So Fine is boring, but not the worst.

People are gonna want to kill me for this one, but I've always thought Coma was annoying- not the worst though.

Cornshucker is hilarious, most likely just a thing they did as a joke.  At least in '88 they had the sense not to put their joke tracks on an album.

My World has to be the worst, not counting TSI.  It should have stayed just as a private, unreleased track.  It just ruins the entire album, especially because it comes after the alt Don't Cry.  Those arguing it's not a song, it has 'music' and lyrics, and is sort of sung.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but 'filler' tracks (not crappy songs, which UYI has plenty of BTW, but short tracks that can't be considered songs at all) in between actual songs or as an opener, only as a closer when a similar opening track is present.  UYI 1 should have started with Don't Cry, and UYI 2 should have ended with the alt Don't Cry.

my world, silk worms, anything goes, bad apples

[jmapelian]

OMG, Silkworms, Rhiad have my vote

My World was a joke

[directionality]

A couple things: I actually like "My World," and in my opinion the only fault with it is that it's too short. I've never been a fan of the intro to "Coma"; Axl sounds too much like Ozzy for my liking.

Overall, however, I can't stand "Down On The Farm." I never liked the original version either.

[mongis]

i like them all a lot! but i dunno... when i comes to it's so easy, i usually skip it... it's a great song, but not interesting for me, i feel...

[Axl4Prez2004]

This is an easy one:  My World and Silkworms.  My wife just asked, which one was My World.  I played 15 seconds of it..."oh yeah, that."    

The other "filler" songs off the UYI's don't come close to these flaming wrecks.   

[McDuff]

Silkworms has to be the worst song,I dunno,can't think of any other ones except My World

[JB9988]

yea def my world. But dude shotgun blues is a awesome song.

And so fine just sucks and so does silkworms.

[unclezoso]

I wonder how this hasn't been mentioned yet:

Bad Apples.

[BKinNYC]

Definitely My World.

A close second would be Bad Apples. ?That song has no flow to it whatsoever.

I'll throw something different in too: ?Worst song performed live for me used to be "Double Talkin' Jive," because although the song is pretty good, you knew that when Axl runs off at the end, ?it lead into a long, boring solo between Duff and Matt.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I wonder how this hasn't been mentioned yet:

Bad Apples.

I love Bad Apples.  To each his own I guess

Besides My World, some that I don't like are

So Fine, good music ruined by Duff's awful vocals. 

Anything Goes, corny, uninspired, decent music though


Shotgun Blues is not one of the worst 

Just kidding, it's definitely not one of their best, I just always thought it had a cool name and a catchy chorus.  It's stupid, but it's funny too

[Agno]

Shootgun Blues is so damn good! You fucking bastard!

[warrocks]

Rhiad  ...too much ...oooooooooooooo oooooooooooo oooo   

[gnr1967]

I wonder how this hasn't been mentioned yet:

Bad Apples.

I love Bad Apples.? To each his own I guess

I agree - Bad Apples isn't that bad.? It's not the greatest, but it's not a song I would consciously skip on the album.? ?I also don't think Perfect Crime is that bad either.? If I had to pick my least favorite, it would probably be Rhiad.

[Bucketofguns]

Out To Get Me is by far the worse song on AFD, of the new songs Bodeans sucks.

[Evolution]

Out To Get Me has a certain groove to it IMO. I'm not so much a fan of AFD's You're Crazy, but it's not their worst.


I like Silkworms and My World so I'm at a loss to answer the question 

[ARC]

Why are so many people saying "Oh My God"...?

"Oh My God" is an awesome song!

Worst GNR song...? I don't know... something off UYI1 or "Silkworms".

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I didn't think "Oh My God" was that bad.  Not great by any means, but I thought it was okay.  I actually like the music on "Silkworms", what I don't like is the voice Axl sings with on it.  It sounds like the voice he sings "Down On The Farm" in, I don't like it.  He should've done a darker sounding voice.  It's not what I want to hear from GnR, but the music I thought was cool anyway
