Heh... definitely a shock to see it on a list of breakup songs alongside "No Woman, No Cry" and "I Will Survive"!

?Back Off Bitch?
Guns N? Roses

It?s not difficult to see why certain groups were up in arms when Axl and the gang included ?Back Off Bitch? on Guns N? Roses? 1991 album Use Your Illusion I, as the song is rife with admittedly misogynistic lyrics that?ll undoubtedly make even the most hardened rock listener blush. Yet there?s certainly no denying that ?Back Off Bitch? successfully manages to evoke a rather primal reaction in the listener, and that?s sometimes exactly the sort of vibe that one needs to feel following a breakup. Who needs inward-loathing and self-pity when you can just pin all your frustrations squarely on your ex?

(Sorry if this is in the wrong subforum.)

Thats really surprising just because the song is not at all widely known. I figured if they were going to put gnr on this list they woulda chose something like NR or estranged.

Hahaha! Wasn't this song based on the relationship he had with his grandma, at least partly?

Not really, never read any comics, but I'm psyched for Dark Knight. Batman Begins was so good.

To be honest its not a song I've ever really liked that much.   Seems just a tad petulant, and frankly not all that good.  Still, it has a pretty kickass intro.
