I was surprised at the message of this song.  The last line in the lyrics is "Believe in yourself"  You don't think of GNR as a source for inspirational songs hihi

I woke up with this song blasting in my head.  I love it.  It's not my favorite song, but it's definetly up there.  Good thing I have alot of personalities...they all get their own #1 songs Grin  rofl

I have to reckon the intro isn't quite welcoming... but the rest of the song puts that aside.  Wink

Same here, BUT...

The intro could work SO WELL live!  Axl could do the A-yo parts and the crowd can call back, much like Freddie Mercury did during Queen shows.

the most AFD sounding song in the disc
sleazy riff and crazy drums

Man, that's it!! There are some UYI moments and other new vibes there, but this is the most AFDish song on CD. At the same time there's a lot of the new band style. I can't define exactly what reminds me of AFD and neither which moment of that album. Maybe something of Mr. Brownstone or Rocket Queen (riffs), maybe the vocals of Out to Get Me. Really don't know.

I'm ok with the intro and can live with that awful nanosecond editting mistake on 1:19.
Never doubted, but listening to this song in particular I just went: "THAT'S GUNS N' FUCKIN' ROSES!!!"

Axl's vocals are even more amazing here. I just loved the way he sings in a lower tone on the majority of the pessimistic words (eg.: ...I fell my life's a catastrophe... ) and screams very high on the the optimistic part of lyrics (e.g.: sometime's I fell it's all opened up for me, nothing's impossible, I am inconquerable). 

When we get closer to the chorus, this ups and downs turn faster (eg.: up: "You know you are stronger.." down: "..then the lies that they tell you").

That's a simple but still very original idea and a difficult task to anyone's voice to achieve! But that's our hero!! AXL = GENIUS!!! Nothing's impossible to him!! AMAZING!!!!

This song originally didn't stick in my head as one of my faves but I really appreciate it for what it is now. Axl's vocals are kick ass. Sometimes I feel like I am in the 80's or 90's listening to Axl in the demo of Crash Diet. I fucking love it.

This song grabbed me from the first listen. Its an anthem and potential single for sure. THis song will be the song that athletes/sports teams and people in general turn on for inspiration and to get pumped up

Im glad this song has  positive, uplifting lyrics. I love the solo and Tommys baseline especially at the end of the song. Great stuff

Anyone else hear some "OMG" elements in this song?

all i could say when i first heard this song was OMG i mean it was totally unexpected (only listened once so far although its coming up next) but just pure awsome!

same here, really dug it INSTANTLY. 

after i got past the kinda weird intro...  hihi   fits with the rest of the song though (or the rest of the song fits with it... whatever).

good call whoever posted about how this might have been "atlas shrugged" at one point.

The only critique I have of this song,

is the overdubbed vocals in the verse

" Dont you try to stop us now
(I'd Give anything to Know)
Dont you try to stop us now
(I would have never made it so far)

the parts in Bold are hard to hear, and just kind of sound out of place...
It would sound better "imo" if it was just the chorus without the bold. peace

but this song is a big grower.

Absolutely. It doesn't break new ground but the chorus is catchy and it has a strong melody. Could be one of those sugary sweet hits that give the album legs.

There's some very strange Pitman noises in the left channel in the verse. Sort of a bubbling sound (reminiscent of that "robot having a chug" in Better Grin) which ordinarily would just sound very silly but seems to work quite well in the context of the song.

It is the rock anthem of the album. I never question Axl's genius or choices, but why the weird intro? Like everyone else said, this is the balls to the walls, classic kick ass rock anthem of the album. Why didn't he go with a kick ass, riff to open this one? Or, just start right off with the chorus? I guess, in the end, Axl knows best. I'm sure the intro will grow on me and the "big picture" will come together as it grows on me.

Anyway, it will easily be a hit on the rock stations.

I liked the song from first listen.  I found myself singing it all day yesterday.  Lots of people seem to be hating on this song (not in this thread obviously).  To each his own though.  I think it rocks!  Good point too by all those who said this could be a sports anthem.  "Don't you try to stop us now".  It doesn't get much clearer than that.

The song is genius, I think it's meant to sound like a duet, but with 2 Axl's.  It reminds me of My Michelle with Baz.
