My list of "7 Great Unknown GN'R Songs"

[TheRaven]

For those interested, I wrote a new article at WickedInfo.com entitled "7 Great Unknown Guns N' Roses Songs." I stayed away from demos and bootlegs and just went for great songs that most casual fans don't know. I'm sure many will disagree with some of my choices, but that's what's great about Gn'R; they have so many great songs that it's impossible for everyone to agree.

hmm not bad man but when you said "unknown" songs i thought you were talkin' about songs like Crash Diet and Shadow of your love. But i do agree with you on Coma, its a song thats genious and never got the attension and respect a good song should get. But thats probably because most people don't like songs in excess of 10 minutes and they'd have to bleep out the good parts on the radio, But still its a GREAT SONG DAMNIT. Glad to see it got some good feedback and maybe you will inspire people more people to get the UYI's if they don't allready

as for Civil War and Rocket Queen, i think most people know those songs pretty well imo.

actually those are my fav 7 GNR songs crazy!

Great list Thanks for someone finally giving props to "Back Off Bitch." But hey, what about "Breakdown"?

[bangit]

nice 1, ye breakdown is also the don!

civil war does not have a video though does it??

[BlowUpYourVideo]

civil war does not have a video though does it??

No, it does not.



Good to see Rocket Queen get a mention.

[TWAT RULES]

nice list.....rocket queen, coma, and locomotive are probably my 3 favorite gn'r tunes.  i think estranged and civil war are pretty well known though.....i probably would have went with something like bad obsession, nightrain, 14 years, dust n' bones, rocket queen, locomotive, and coma!  it's hard to make just 7 cause pretty much everything gn'r has ever released is unbelievable

I can't get the link to open...I'd love to read it and comment, but it isn't working for me.  Can someone list the 7 songs that the article is about?

Maybe not an "official" one, but years ago up here in Canada, MuchMusic used to play a Civil War video taken from the Tokyo show.

Try it again, it was probably just a hiccup with the webhost.

yeah it worked this time...thanks

Just my comments on your choices...

Rocket Queen- Have to admit when I first bought AFD when it first came out, I was in grade 6 and I thought the sex sounds in the background were the coolest things ever.  It is a great song, but most GnR fans know and appreciate this song.

Don't Damn Me- I love this song and it was one of my favourites from the beginning when I first listened to UYI1.  The "Sometimes I want to kill, sometimes I want to die, sometimes I want..."  is one of my favourite Axl type rants. 

Locomotive- I enjoy this song...there aren't many songs that I don't enjoy off the first four albums (actually only My World and So Fine ever get skipped)...but it is a weaker song in my opinion compared to others on this list.

Coma- I love this song.  I remember listening to it over and over when I was a kid, reading the liner notes, and memorizing this song  I think this song and Civil War are some of Axl's best vocals ever recorded.  He is amazing on this song...and I think one of his best solo writing credits. 

Estranged- I love the song, but the video...er...not so much.  The music and lyrics to this song are amazing.  I just can't get past the dolphins in the video...

Civil War- As I mentioned in Coma, one of Axl's strongest vocal performances ever recorded.  I wish this video had a proper video as it deserved one.

Back Off Bitch- Another great song.  Nothing really stands out for me, but a great solid song.

[COMAMOTIVE]

You can't put Civil War here, because most people DO in fact know it, and who sings it

Back off Bitch is the only one I would take issue with. I liked it when the Illusions first came out for personal reasons, but when I try to listen to it now, it's one of the weakest songs they've recorded in my opinion

Although Civil War did get radio play, and was included on the Greatest Hits, I've found that many casual fans really do not know the song, let alone who it is by. Maybe it's just because no radio station around me plays it *shrugs* However I have to disagree with him mentioning the same about Don't Cry, as near everyone I know that knows more than just Jungle/SCOM/Paradise City knows Don't Cry/November Rain/Patience.

I've never really loved BoB, I mean it has attitude, no doubt, but in the end it's never really stuck with me or anything. Actually one of the weaker songs IMO.

I agree that Breakdown should have been #7

What a terrible list.  These are all known songs to a certain extent.  However to put this list on a diehard fan board is a complete waste of post.   Put this post on the casual fan board.  God do we need a single or at least some news.  This site is growing board and inactive.

Easy there killer. ?Just trying to spark some discussion, nothing wrong with that. ?"Rocket Queen" is my favorite song, so I definitely agree with that one. ?I too would have "Breakdown" on the list, probably in place of "Back Off Bitch". ?Also a big fan of "Dead Horse" and "Bad Apples". ?Probably would've replace "Civil War" and "Estranged". ?I think those songs are pretty well known.

Actually ( it was buggin the hell outta me ) Slash and Axl wrote Coma. All the songs kick ass IMO I love Back Off Bitch and Dont Damn Me

[hellfirecan]

Slash wrote the music and as far as I know, Axl wrote the lyrics alone.  That is what I meant by my comment...sorry if I wasn't clearer

I doubt that since the credits are usually for the lyrics alone , im sure slash probably threw a line in or two we all know Axl wrote most of it I just had to point that out lol.
