GNR Filler songs

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I agree that I like all the songs.  But some more than others.  Now to shift to UYI 1, you could say You Ain't The First, BoB and Bad Apples could be filler.  Great songs, but they miss the mark of hit singles.  But GN'R's filler would go platinum on someone elses album.

So Fine is garbage and so is you aint the first...just another sunday and bring it back home should have replaced them...and dont forget aint goin down which was mixed yet never released..thank god for bootleg demos and rough mixes......

These are "filler" songs guys!!!

I'll take "my world", "so fine", "shotgun blues", and "you ain't the first" any day of the fucking week.  You people have lost your minds!!!

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

They couldn't because that would have meant that most of their songs are covers, and that wouldnt work too well.

[Eazy E]

I really wouldn't have cared if I never heard Shotgun Blues... and I don't care if I ever hear it again!

[McDuff]

Well I like all of the songs on the Illusion albums,the onlt fillers I can think of are You Ain't The First and My World,other than that all of the other songs are cool

[gnr_12]

woah now. You aint the first and so fine are classics..... im sorry but the only songs id take off are

My world..
Bad Apples...
Shotgun Blues..

Thats it...

UYI was an under rated release... well both of them.... great songs... nowadays its hard to find CDS with more than two good songs...

Example.. VR Slither and Fall to Pieces. thats it. Wow for a MEGA rock band thats a weak number. two. lol

[McDuff]

Bad Apples is not filler,it's a fuckin' awesome song,My World is filler,You Ain't The First is filler

[gnr_12]

Well we all have our own opinions on what's filler and what's not,so it's all cool,I mean to be honest all of the songs sound ok on the album,and if they rereleased the albums without the songs that we all call filler we would all miss them,no matter what anyone says

[supaplex]

i think that there are no fillers on the uyi albums. i tend to listen to shotgun blues less but that doesn't make it a filler. and i think everybody would've liked to hear crash diet and ain't goin down on those albums.

[Eclipsed107]

You Ain't The First sounds like the only filler to me.

To me that sounds like a song Izzy wrote for himself and Gn'R decided to go with it.  It never had that Gn'R feel to me.

[mikegiuliana]

to me filler on a gnr message board comes down to the most songs people seem to dislike..

My world of course is the one that gets the most shit.. Then maybe so fine.. You ain't the first kind of has that LIES vibe..  Never that into shotgun blues.. To be honest with the exception of my world each illusions song excelled in some mano, when I didn't like the vocals the guitar fucking still rocked so there are always parts I liked..

[Olorin]

No fillers? Um... 2 versions of don't cry?

[duga]

Slither is like the worst song on that CD.

My World, You ain't the first, So Fine, Dont Cry Alt. Lyrics.

I think half the tracks on the UYI albums are fillers. Like i have said in the past, for all the great tracks on those albums, there are many that seem half baked and always thought they should have released just 1 album containing the big guns (to coin a phrase  )


UYI Big guns:
Garden of Eden
November Rain
Don't Cry
Perfect Crime
Dust & Bones
Double Talkin Jive (the new GnR should play this live!)
Estranged
14 Years
Pretty Tied Up
Locamotive
Yesterdays
Breakdown
You Could be Mine
Bad Obsession
Garden
Coma (with a little more work done to it    cutting out the 1st 3.5 minutes for example, and the sound FX)


The Cover songs should have been used as B-Sides on Singles:
Live and Let Die
Knocking on Heavens Door


Other B-Side 'should have beens':
Don't Cry (alt lyrics)
Get in the Ring (a gimick of a song, fun to hear once or twice)
So Fine


Half Baked Tracks:
Shotgun Blues (with a bit more work, it could have been great)
Right Next Door to Hell (good guitars - crap lyrics)
You Ain't the First (so so)
Back off Bitch (simply doesn't work)
Don't Dam Me (this song makes me cringe)
Bad Apple (does nothing for me)
Dead Horse (it's ok, in an ok sort of way)


Tracks i simply don't like:
Civil War (probably made for the American audience. I'm from the UK, the US should have left Vietnam alone  )
My World (bollox!)

[Communist China]

Bad Apples is not filler,it's a fuckin' awesome song,My World is filler,You Ain't The First is filler

Yeah, I agree. But I think You Ain't the First is cool (not saying it's a good song) because it's in 3. Find me another rock band that can play in 3.

[ARC]

Yes, they do have 'filler'.

I'm of the opinion that they should have taken the best 15 songs and condensed the two albums into one masterpiece.

[RichardNixon]

You ain't the first is a little flat. Love everything else.
