I'm not a fan - Duff's thing for Johnny Thunders was just odd (dedicating two songs to him?), and the lyrics and vocals were really quite bad.

But yeah So Fine is ok. It starts out a love song but it's dedicated to Johnny Thunders. Seems odd. It seems like two different songs stuck together really. The lyrical contect is totally different in both. I always assumed it was a song Axl wrote combined with a song Duff wrote. Like they just put the two together. But apparently Duff wrote all of it. Strange arrangement. Nothing great by GnR's standard, but it's probably one for the girls to like.
Good song. I think I probably like the live versions a little better with both Axl and Duff singing. Plus, it's dedicated to Johnny Thunders and Johnny is a legend. It doesn't really seem odd to me why Duff dedicated it to Johnny, like the person above states. It may be a dedication but it's more for the reason being that 'So Fine' is a Johnny Thunders type of song. I'm sure his music was a huge inspiration behind the writing of 'So Fine.' Johnny Thunders died in April of 1991 and that could be another reason for the dedication.

I've never understood why so many are anti-So Fine. I certaintly don't think it's one of the top-classics, but it's a great little small ballad, that really is underrated. For GN'R, it's a lower-ranked song. Yet for any other band, So Fine would be a top-release single.
I love Duff's vocals on it (even tho he can't sing, lol). But having Axl also join him, it almost gives it a rock legitimacy, but with Duff's vocals, it almost sounds like a punk love song. The song is very smooth, and has very relaxing guitar work.
It's good song, and a nice lead-in to Estranged on UYI II.

Well..What made you sure that they were friends ?? Just because they stood arm 2 arm and sang the song ?
But i know what you mean..maybe that?s a little cool..But the song itself rocks !

As the dust settled, Axl stared unblinkingly at me and, with no hint of irony, summed up GN?R?s philosophy: ?We don?t start anything. But if you mess with us, then we?ll fuck you up!

Actually Axl himself said they were friends. When Duff quit in 1998 (or whenever, there's conflicting stories), Axl implied that it blindsided him, and he thought they were friends. When all of these grievences from Duff came out, it shocked him.
It was in that 2002 interview on the now defunct GNROnline.com website.

This track is amazing! I loved it first time, didn't have to grow on me at all, Duff's singing is great and its generally an awesome track that I think sounds relaxing

I know what he means. I mean the demo is awesome, and is much more cut down and almost Nirvana-sounding.
But I still don't think the epic & overproduced one that made the album isn't a disappointment by any means. Both the original & alternate both kicked ass!

What I think I like about this song the most is the guitar work at the beginning accompanied by piano.
The guitar riff is so relaxing and its a nice intracate piece of song-writing. I find this side to rock 'n' roll much more appealing than the boring power chords in songs nowadays.

I used to really love the song. It is still good on occasion when I am in the mood. Duff doesn't have a great voice by most standards but I always liked it. It's good for some things like on the Neurotic Outsiders I thought he sounded awesome. Anyway, it's a good song and it is kinda sad when you watch the UYI Dvds and you see the interaction between Axl and Duff during teh "My friends always come through for me part".

There's definately some homo erotic subtones to his appreciation for J.Thunders
And it's not just that, look at some of the vests and shit he wore during the Illusion tour. Totally gay. And we all know about Adlers past activities. Even Axl hasn't had a steady woman for 10 years.
The pieces are coming together now, and I don't like it
