This I Love vs. November Rain

[Voodoochild]

Whos that person Axls really cared for?

stephanie seymour

Who's that again I dont keep up with the wifes of band members.

That girl in Don't Cry and November Rain videos.

[-Rob-]

Now that CD is out, which of these two masterpieces do you think is better? I think the comparison is a fair one.

November Rain without question.

[Axlover]

I think they both are incredible! I really couldn't choose between them 

[Axl4Prez2004]

It's a very difficult comparison.  Seriously, so much time soaking up NR...the video's imagery sticks with the song, and the video's a masterpiece.  Just think of all the memories we have relating to NR...  TIL doesn't have that advantage.  Both are beautiful.  Both are amazing to me.

Both songs are great. i have known november rain longer so i know all the little subtleties of it. But i will learn the same subtleties of This I love in time

Yeah I think with some time TIL will come vary close to the level of November Rain in popularity but I still think NR is the better song.

It will never be as popular as NR because of the lack of a video for it and the lack of airtime videos get on the so called music channels.

[D]

I tell u a song I do like better than NR and that is The Blues from RIRIII

I don't like SOD cause they just changed it

RIR III is just fucking perfect

that intro...... some of the greatest singing ever.

its the song that higher 02 voice just really worked better on.

In at least a few years i think alot of those things you listed will change.

[TransAmMan]

As much as I LOVE the old band and all of the GREAT music they made including the AMAZING November Rain, I have to say hands down that I personally think This I love is a better song.  As amazing as Slash is on NR, I gotta say that the solo Robin wrote for This I Love is to me the greatest solo ever written.  I did'nt even like This I Love the first time I heard it until the solo started.  My jaw droped to the floor. This song also helped through the breakup of me and my daughters mother.  Thank you for that Axl and Robin.  This song helped me to get over the passions that would'nt die.  Thank you Axl, Robin and the rest of the band.

I have listened to NR for 18 years and am slightly tired of it

TIL i have played 112 times and I am sick of it

Axl's emotive vocals are awesome but the song is nowhere as epic as NR.

NR has the amazing intro, then u have the unmatched guitar solos and then u have the pause and the piano thing of Axl into one of the greatest outros of all time

TIL is kind of bland and repetitve and Robin's solo is like fingernails down a chalk board bad.

[Genesis]

TIL is kind of bland and repetitve and Robin's solo is like fingernails down a chalk board bad.

Jeez, I thought I was the only one who didn't like that solo. It's the only part that ruins the song. Every time it comes on, I have to lower the volume. It sounds
like someone deflating a cat. Have you noticed that the solo has absolutely no melody? It's like a bunch of random scale notes. The NR solo you can
sing. Try the same with the TIL solo. I bet you can't even remember it.

By the by, before people start, this is not a Robin vs Slash thing.

[D]

The solo is embarrassing and just horrible. Robin is one of the worst string benders I've ever heard and most of that solo is a bunch of bends and it has very little movement. I turn the song off during the solo.

Robin's Better and SOD solos are very good.

this one......... No idea why Axl let this end up on the song.

I think it is very unfair to judge a brand new song to something 18 years old and worn out.

Of course people are going to be prisoner's of the moment and select the newest freshest thing.

but let's be real, TIL is nowhere near NR or Estranged or Sweet Child as far as ballads go.

axl's vocals are maybe the best he has ever done, but musically it doesn't approach the above 3.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I don't get the problem with Robin's solo, it is filled with emotion and nearly perfect for the song

Anyway, November Rain is one of the greatest rock songs ever, it is sort of hard for a song that hasn't even been out a year to compete with that.  TIL is a beautiful composition and Axl's vocals are quite amazing on there.  NR has better lyrics and the structure is more unique, and the best music video ever made to accompany it, definitely have to go with NR

[D]

The song is just very emotional and very beautiful and Robin has this blazing bad guitar tone with little movement and a bunch of bends that really add nothing to the song.

With November Rain, the guitar solo is epic and Iconic. It takes an amazing song and pushes it further.

The TIL solo doesn't elevate the song, it is just a bunch of filler.

I was at work one day and November rain came on the sound system that played throughout the store.
U know how people get a song stuck in their head and go around singing it all day?

Well, what was weird was, everybody in my section went around all day humming the guitar solo at the end.

that is the difference. NR's solo is a song within a song.

With TIL, Robin at the beginning of the solo is just playing what the orchestra is doing but just on guitar and then it kind of goes from there with little movement or melody


I know I make it seem like the worst solo ever, but TIL is such an incredible song, I don't feel the solo does it justice.

U can't hum Robin's solo and it isn't very pleasing IMO.

The end of NR everybody knows that solo.

If u had TIL piano/orchestra and voice vs NR piano orchestra and voice Id give TIL a great chance
but when u add everything in, NR is the better, more epic song.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Personally I think the second part of the solo that kicks in at 3:15 is pretty awesome.  I'm not the biggest Robin Finck fan in the world, I think that if Bucket would've handled the solo it could've been out of this world but I still dig the solo in this song.
