Which song on Chinese Democracy do you feel is the most underrated? And by that, I mean underrated by fans in terms of popularity in contrast to the quality of the song. In my opinion, it would have to be Chinese Democracy. This song is overlooked so much, for a reason I will never understand. It's a good quality, kick-ass, in-your-face, cacthy rock and roll song. If The World is a close seconds. That song is a real gem. A very good ballad, with an amazing mix of funky bass and flamenco guitars. Listen towards the very ending. It's amazing. Cool So what song, or songs, do you feel is the most underrated on Chinese Democracy?


Edit: Although it may be loved by many, I also feel that Catcher In The Rye gets overlooked and underrated. It is perhaps the best song on the whole album.

I agree, Madagascar is definately underrated and among the very best songs on the album, possibly the best along with Catcher In The Rye and There Was A Time.

Rhiad is awesome, still don't know why people hate it so much.  If the World is the worst Guns N Roses song ever recorded.  ( I still like it, because I love everything GNR has done, but lets be honest, its their worst.)

I've actually forgotten to mention the song I've always felt was the most underrated: I.R.S.
I.R.S. is a real gem, a great rocker with tons of attitude, almost addictive to listen to.
So my new list in terms of how underrated songs they are would be as follows:

1. I.R.S.
2. Chinese Democracy
3. Madagascar
4. If The World
5. Catcher In The Rye

id say that chinese democracy is underrated.  The song rocks an is catchy as hell.  And IMO would make a better single than "Better".

Is there a poll anywhere on this board were people can vote for their favourite Chinese Democracy song?  It would be interesting to see how they'd rate.
Maybe Jarmo could create one and get us discussing positive things again?

Definitly Scraped, so much so I reckon would be great to use for BBC F1. The lyrics would fit perfectly with Buttons 'Im Unstoppable' Charge to the championship. For hamilton?? well the line  "lies that they tell you" fits perfectly.  Smiley

Chinese Democracy and I.R.S. are two of the best rock songs of recent times, and it's a mystery how they only have 5 or 6 votes each.

You should have seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn't a glove, believe me.

I don't like the song IRS, for me that's the only GN'R song I really do not like.

Having said that; I would agree with CD, Cather or If the world as being most underrated

Scaped and Prostitute.  Prostitute is one of the top 5-10 they have EVER done.

The whole album.


A lot of people can't listen to these songs with an open mind. So they never give the songs a fair chance.

The first step is to forget about what it's not and just listen to what it is.
