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

[jameslofton29]

Prostitute. Many consider it the best or one of the best songs on CD. Not me. Couldn't stand it the first time I heard it.

"Seems like forever.....and a day"

and just gets worse from there. I listened to CD again a few months ago and didn't hate it to the extent I did years ago(the guitar work is pretty damn good) but I just cant get into it.

Sorry's music is incredible but the lyrics make me cringe. Bucket is outstanding on this track. Gave it exactly what it needed.

Scraped......horrific intro and just feels like a wannabe anthem. Even though I hate it, it would've been interesting to see how this song would've went over with the general public as a single had CD been released in 01-02. A wannabe anthem in 08 might have been a real anthem at that time.

TIL...terrible solo. I can only imagine what Bucket would've brought to this track. Listen to songs like Padmasana, Sketches of Spain,etc. and something like that was needed for this song.

CITR.....amazing lyrics though.

UYI II version of KOHD....wish it had not been on the album. The Marquee version that somehow wound up in constant radio rotation on Top 40 radio in 88-89 was much better. I can see why they would record it and use it for that soundtrack but it should've been left there IMO.

You're Crazy from AFD...while I do consider AFD the greatest album ever made I could easily live without this song. The only song worth skipping IMO. The Lies version is incredible though and my favorite song from Lies.

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 agree and disagree as Bill Clinton would say.

I HATE the polished version on the album but think it sounded much better live on that UYI tour. I do think it needed to be retired from the set many years ago.....even before the CD era. By 92 it should've been replaced with something else from UYI.

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

I thought the 2002 version was incredible. 2006 and beyond it had been neutered.

[COMAMOTIVE]

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.

 

Anything  else?

The band has a pretty vast catalog 

[RnT]

IRS, worst song EVER, and I will never love that song. Silkworms and My World is so much better that this song. I think that?s the only GNR song that I can?t hear, because I HATE THAT FUCKING SONG 

[Thorned Rose]

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

I was kinda like that. It was a good track but never really dug it until recently. I think it is one of the best ones now.

[Thorned Rose]

My World is fucking trash. There's no artistic feel to it... there's no avant-garde inside of it. It's just a mental freak song.

Prostitute is okay at best. I hate the intro of it. It's so lame. And heavy in feeling.

[Voodoochild]

I don't really mind Sorry. Skip it every time.

And of course You're Crazy on AFD. The Lies version is so much better.

[coolranchdressing]

I'm not going to include the CD album...sorry...
but as for the others...
I skip past
"knocking on heavens door" when I jog...
(as for the orginal poster..."shotgun blues" is sooo good to jog to, such a build-up)

[Sosso]

Shadow of Your Love
Bad Apples

[COMAMOTIVE]

I don't really mind Sorry. Skip it every time.

And of course You're Crazy on AFD. The Lies version is so much better.

LIES version is awesome indeed

[slashsbaconpit]

Madagascar. I just couldn't get past the synth horns.

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah its one of those Nu Gn'R songs I really like.

I think Madagascar is great. Very worthy of anything old Gn'R did.

[sofine11]

Jungle.

Every live sport ever has assured that that song lose any and all meaning it may have once had for me.

[Bodhi]

Hmm very interesting topic.  Lets see, I would have to say "Live and Let Die" fits the bill for me.  Live it is pretty cool, but I never really liked the studio version.  Also not a very big fan of "The Garden." 

This is going to be a pretty unpopular opinion, but here it is, I don't like the guitar intro to "Sweet Child O' Mine."  I don't hate it, but I don't really like it all that much either.  I love the chord progression, verses, vocals, guitar solo, you name it. "Sweet Child" is one of my favorite songs ever.   I just don't like the intro/main riff that much, and its arguably their most famous guitar part.

[GeorgeSteele]

One specific thing that bugs me is the drum fill on November Rain that's repeated 642 times.

[CherryGarcia]

Breakdown

[slashsbaconpit]

Yeah its one of those Nu Gn'R songs I really like.

I think Madagascar is great. Very worthy of anything old Gn'R did.

Guess this means we're gonna have a good old fashioned internet fight then. [rolls up sleeves puts on brass knuckles]

[TheBaconman]

Knocking on heavens door.

I hate it.

Way to long.

Takes out of the way of more rockers. 

It blows

[Bazfreak]

Rhiad
If The World
Sorry
Shotgun Blues

[Jay Tea]

I skipped Bad Apples for a long time but I grew to like it.
I still skip If The World every time.

If we're counting covers I hate Buick.
