GUNS N ROSES - GET IN THE RING?????

[Jdog0830]

Always thought this song was an embarassment. I know they just wanted to record and put most everything they had on the Illusions, but damn, I dislike this one, and always have.

Why hate it? It spells out the shit that Rock Bands usually have to deal with dayly from those media pigs. Its also a fitting song I think for the time in between Chinese Democricy comming out to the tour being announced publicly.

Stupid people saying stuff that they have no clue about concerning GNR just to get some attention.

So I think this song really Rocks it has that in your face spirit that Rockers love and I am sad this song will never be played live...

I love the song even today.  It definately represents how they were feeling about all the bad press, and seriously what band does that?  That is a strong part of why I am a gunner fan, they called them out on their shit publicly, what could have been better way to give them what they had coming, and how did they like it?

Thats what I was thinking and I sure would like to hear Axl sing this live with some new lirics about those assholes.

how did they like it?

They most likely loved it. Any press is good press. Plus, they had the ability to get under someone's skin and the press feeds off of exactly that. Sure, it probably turned many GN'R fans away from the people who were named in the song because of what was said about "their" band. But in hindsight, these people probably gained a lot of notoriety and new interest by people towards their magazines and columns. I highly doubt any of the people that were named were ever slighted by this song or any song ever written or performed about them.

I am sure they were never sighted either, but who does this, well only GNR lol...

I think it should be a unsaid thing about them. Hell we know most reporters are slime and dont give a fuck about anything but a story.

Reminds me of that movie Adam Sandler did about that one small town guy who ends up being the heir to the owner of a huge company in New York and the gosip girl pretented to be a small town girl.

Adam saved some cat lady and her cats from a fire and the asshole she gave the story to completely made Adam look like a jackass.

Any shows like that piss me off since I know they mainly are a bunch of assholes looking out for themselfs.

"Get in the Ring" is fucking phenomenal.  It was practically the theme song for Guns N Roses circa 1991-1993.

[One.In.A.Million]

I still love 'Get In The Ring' today just as much as I did when I first heard it.

I think it's musically brilliant, and then Axl's lyrics top it all off to make for an epic song. I always listen to this when someones really pissed me off, or tries to belittle me.

In this song, Axl always cheers me back up, and I thank him for that. 

[Jdog0830]

Yes it is a shame we never will hear it live
