What Gn'R song could you NEVER get into that you should have loved?

[Thorned Rose]

For me there's a few. (please note I'm talking about the more well known songs that most people like. saying you couldn't get into "My World" or "Shotgun Blues" is kinda missing the point here.)

"Yesterdays" is one of them. It's a good song, but I just don't like the vibe that much and I never liked Axl's "juicy" over the top rasped vocals in this song. They just sound different in this one that his other songs that are in the same vein.

"Estranged" is another. I used to like it quite a bit. It's very poetic and very good, and the Slash solo around the 5 minute mark of one of my favorites. Over time I've just kinda skipped it a lot. It's really dark and dense. Very deep and thick for me now. I can't dig it too much. I listen to it occasionally but I mostly skip it now.

"There Was a Time" is kinda like Estranged for me. It's really dense and feels thick to me. It's great and the guitars are awesome, but its just one of those types I don't dig into too much. I still kinda like it.

"Better" while it is interesting and good, that main riff just seems very generic to me. It's still a cool song to crank up and I like it quite a bit, but it was just one of those I could never sink into too much.

I like almost all their songs, event the two I'm about to name :

- Get In The Ring
- Sorry

In both cases, I love the music.  There is a great riff on GITR, and the guitarwork overall on 'Sorry' is top notch.

But the lyrics, my god.  So fucking juvenile.  It detracts from my ability to enjoy both songs.  I cringe.

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah. Like I said for me it is usually the denseness of the song if that makes sense.

Get in the Ring was almost one of those for me, but I like the anger in it. I like the in your face shut up kind of stuff.

"Sorry" has always been a favorite of mine though.

The cover of "Live and Let Die".  I have always HATED that song, no matter how often they played it live, or how many GNR fans hail it as a great cover song.

I can't stand "Patience" either.  Yes, that's right, I said it.  I don't care how many people love it.  For me, the slow pace and infernal whistling are absolutely unnerving.

I can't stand the alternate version of "Don't Cry" either.  Not sure if that falls under the thread's title of "I should have loved it", but the lyrics are mediocre and uninvolving.

Bad Apples.

Yeah Live and Let Die is up there for me too. I don't like the verse riffs, but the chorus and stuff has a mean bite to it.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door-album version.

I love that this band covered a Bobby D song, but I don't love the album version. Too big for what the song is supposed to convey-in my opinion. And the phone call thing in the middle is very cringe-worthy. Also, I'm pretty sure they don't play the Am chord in their version which is unfortunate. However, I do love it done live in all of it's different incarnations from the 80's, 90's and on up through the different versions done by the new lineups. Very cool in fact.

Out to get me!

You Ain't the First - It felt like they were trying for some kind of country sound that just didn't do it for me

[Spirit]

You Ain't the First - It felt like they were trying for some kind of country sound that just didn't do it for me

The only GN'R song to follow a 3/4 Waltz time. Crank it up at the next ballroom dance.

You Ain't the First - It felt like they were trying for some kind of country sound that just didn't do it for me

I used to sing this song to me ex girlfriend... swear on my life.

She'd get furious... and i'd laugh... good times.

I always go to the bathroom during Patience. Just not my thing. Chinese Democracy is also up there for me... but I couldn't miss the opener 

[GNR4LIFEJD]

On the opposite end of the spectrum a song i did love that people didn't get into but that was more due to the lyrics is One in a Million i love the sound of the song

[HBK]

Maybe:

-Scrapped
- Anything Goes

[ITARocker]

kohd
lald
anything goes
you're crazy (afd version)
breakdown
street of dreams

[COMAMOTIVE]

Anything Goes just never did it for me

Off of CD - I hate SOD - don't know why, because I love piano driven rock songs - but this one always has and still does just bore this crap out of me

[gcluskey]

Chinese Democracy

[nick6sic6]

Maybe only Rhiad and the Bendouins.
No other.

Am I the only one that hates bad obsession? I could never force myself to like it

Not one of my favorites, but I still think it is alright.

[gunslipk]

I loved every Gn'R song since the first time listened until a good amount of years later... but today I can't stand things like LALD, SCOM (live), Civil War, Out Ta Get Me, November Rain and Don't Cry.
