UYI is where GNR fans split into two very different communities. There are those of us who, like the rest of the world, see Appetite as clearly their high point, with UYI as either a pretty good or, in some of our opinions, a lame follow-up to a legendary album. Then there are those who think Appetite is like this ordinary rock record, while UYI is the work of God's own hand. But I don't understand the people who think UYI is perfect and has no filler, or only My World. Even Axl seems to think UYI was disappointing.

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

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.

3 what?  Huh

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.

UYI Big guns:
Coma (with a little more work done to it  Wink )

Half Baked Tracks:
Right Next Door to Hell
Back off Bitch
Don't Dam Me
Dead Horse

Tracks i simply don't like:
Civil War


Huh?  Huh Maybe you should give UYI1&2 a few more listenings.  Wink

When I first bought the album when it was first released. ?I felt as though I was letdown. ?Both these records just don't have the attitude and groove that Lies and AFD had.

Listening throughout the years, I have liked it more and more, but there is definetely alot of filler on these records.

UYI1 filler:
Live and Let Die
You Ain't The First
Perfect Crime
Back Off Bitch
Garden
Garden Of Eden
Bad Apples
Don't Damn Me

UYI 2 filler:
KOHD
Get In The Ring
Shotgun Blues
Locomotive (too many long songs on these records. ?This is the worst of the bunch)
Don't Cry (alt. Lyrics)
My World
So Fine

IMO.

It's a filler in that it's the same song twice.

Who's to say, maybe Don't Cry was to be a big long epic containing all the lyrics. Maybe it didn't work out, so there's 2 versions of the song. Seems alot of work writing 2 lots of lyrics for the same tune  Wink

Or less work than writing two different lyrics for two different songs.

I pretty much agree with everything you said, except Locomotive & Garden of Eden being filler. I also like Don't Cry(alt.) better than the original, so I would say the original is filler. I think the reason we got 2 discs, and alot of filler, is because they knew they could get away with it & double their money at that point in time. Has their ever been another such highly anticipated release as UYI? I can't recall one.

I would rather have had another song in there rather than the same exact song with alternate lyrics. I consider that 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.

3 what?? Huh

Ask a musician:
If you count beats in a measure, almost every song to be a hit in the last thirty years is in 2/4. That's when the drummer just hits a snare on 2 and 4. A meter in 3 is seen in jazz and older classical music (waltzes, mainly). Rock is ALWAYS in 2 or 4, and You Ain't the First is the only GN'R song in 3. Listen to the beginning, they evn count off 1,2,3 1,2,3.

Shotgun blues, get in the ring, so fine are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. AFD: Anything Goes and Think About You. out ta get me I've never really cared for either.

Yeah, shotgun blues was "one big joke" if I may quote some of the lyrics.  So fine is good if you take the mic away from Duff.. sort of reminds me of Fall to Pieces, actually.  My world.. blah.

So Fine would've been a good song if Axl had sung it.? Duff's vocals are So Bad no

I agree... I loved when Axl sang it at the Tokyo show in 92.

And anyone who calls "Don't Damn Me" filler is completely evil. I'd go as far as saying that DDM is one of the top 3 songs on UYI 1. Awesome vocals, complex lyrics, crazy good solo near the end... good stuff. Actually, I'd say DDM is my #2, only behind Coma  yes
