GNR Filler songs

[Lara]

This thread is rather depressing.

I prefer my least favorite GnR song to almost any other song on my PC.
I don't consider any of GnR songs as filler.

axlrosegnr, I LOVE TSI. 
I wish they played 'Buick Makane' or 'Hair of the Dog' live.

And 'Bad Obsession' is definately NOT a filler. ?

PS: Ok, maybe there is only one filler song and that would be 'My World'. ?

i like this thread because it shows how different some tastes are and also how many people hate oh my god, my world, silkworms-- the industrial flavored gems that axl was probably worried about presenting to the public in 1999 when he did the rolling stone interview. me personally i never really got into 'think about you,' 'anything goes,' 'so fine,' 'you ain't the first,' but 'you can't put your arms around this painful song,' is the only gnr song i never liked.
i'm a huge tsi fan, too.

No. I looked at the site and somebody else has my username so I haven't registered yet. Am planning to unless you don't want me in it, which is cool I guess.

I liked My World to

[robinfinckfan]

am I the only one that loves the Spagetti Incident?? lol I listen to that all the time.

I thought TSI was a kick ass album, I've always defended it. Ain't it Fun, Black Leather, Human Being, Down On The Farm etc..etc.. the whole album kicks serious ass

Sure, everyones welcome, there are some great Robin fans on the site, i like it, it only opened yesterday, Jim Bob did a great job with the site.

To me, I rank a filler as a song that I'l skip over 95 times out of 100 when I put the CD on. 

Exactly. There are a bunch of songs on the UYI's that I haven't listened to in years, and have no real desire to hear again because they provoked absolutely zero response from me as a listener.

These songs are fillers - I don't hate them, but they certainly don't make a record any better. They only make it more full of average material that has to be sifted through to get to the good stuff.

And those of you claiming that GNR doesn't have any filler songs have got to be joking... Shotgun Blues is the very definition of a filler track. It starts as though it's in the middle of the song and goes nowhere fast.

Filler?

What the fuck?


Obviously not all songs can be your favorites, but labelling songs filler is like saying "yeh, they didn't have any good songs so they filled the album with these".

But I bet the band themself worked really hard on every song they recorded for the AFD, Lies and UYI albums. Maybe they were a bit more relaxed about recording the covers because it was done for fun.

Note: Before anyone accuses me of not being a real fan, these are not necessarily bad songs, just lacking the little extra to take you off the edge.

Does a band/artist exist, whose every song you like that much?


Filler.... ?



/jarmo

So... you like "So Fine"??

I do... ?I play it for my girlfriend. lol

[masterdan]

Oh yea, and Shotgun Blues is probably the worst song they ever made...

[axlrosehunny]

So fine is a good song.

How can My World, be filler?  It is what like under 2 mins long and at the end of the CD.  What exactlly is it filling up?  Morons

I think most people here forget or really dont know how a album works.  Not talking about cd's, but and actual album, which all GNR can be found on.
You have your A-side, then you flip the album and have your b-side.  The A side if for you more mainstream hits, the b side would be for your less mainstream songs, songs that are very personal to the artist, but wont click with everyone. 

So basically what you guys are saying is that most b-side tracks out there would be filler.?

Just go out and by the Singles then and not the hole album. 

[ibelieveinaxl]

none. i dont consider "my world" a song..........

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Covers and B sides should not be included, esp since b sides are fillers  that didnt make the album LOL

shotgun blues
my world
silkworms

[Robman?]

shotgun blues
my world
silkworms

you can't call silkworms a filler if it hasn't been released

[Axl&Baz07]

think about you is one of the best songs gnr has dummies

i agree. i  Think About You!  i also  Anything Goes, so i am the odd chick out, i guess.

[Naupis]

you can't call silkworms a filler if it hasn't been released

And if there is a God it never will be. Speaking of God, it is safe to safe that "OMG" left God wondering why it was ever allowed to leave the studio with GNR's name on it.

[ExileOnMassSt]

Why are people saying Think About You?

That's a great song.

The more I listen to the live version of Silk Worms the more I like it.   Not ones of my by far, but it has one of the coolest intros.  I dig it

Oh My God isnt to bad either.  The music is actually kinda kick ass, but the lyrics are lacking.  Lacking in the fact that I cant even understand Axl.
