So Fine ROCKS!

[estranged88]

alright......... I have to confess

I used to think this was one of the worst songs I had heard in my entire life....but then something happened, and now I  have realized that this is truly an incredible song.

Do yourself a favor.... drive around on a beutiful night with the windows down, and blare So Fine....thats what it took for me..  when it kicks in and Duff says "When i look right up at night..." it will hit you.. the song truly is "so fine"


If you hate it, i can understand as i hated the song for years... but one day it will catch you off guard, and you too will fall under the spell of  So Fine

[AxlsPiano]

Yeah rock on man, thats just what it is with the UYI albums, the songs you really just dont like at first...you end up loving them. Although theres still the one song that I havent gotten to liking yet...Double Talkin' Jive   well maybe Shotgun Blues too. I love Bad Obsession though, thats a song you can rock to  

[volcano62]

I loved the song when it came out in 1991.

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

So Fine  
ah.. I love watching them perform this on the Tokoyo videos.

and you make an interesting point about how something can 'hit' you that didn't before
it often does have a lot to do with your surroundings and frame of mind

"yeah... I think you know where that comes from"
ha!
the guitar piece after this... heaven  

[John Daniels]

I love it..always have..

[Izzy]

I have always had time for it, maybe Crash Diet should have taken its place though.....

[matt88]

I love So Fine, 3rd favorite on UYI2, and i love duff's vocals on it

[D]

i love so fine

great song simple but great

i love the live version at tokyo where axl sings pretty much line for line with duff
and the way axl spins around during the fast parts

i have always loved this song

[Mattgnr]

Yeah i agree, i love the tokyo version especially.

And the ending 'Because she's smart, that's why'  and then Duff 'thats right, thankyou'

I like that for some strange reason

[Rebecca Duff Rose]

Its sooooooooo great!

Its so lively! Duff's vocals on it rocks!
SUPER SONG!

The lyrics are wrote for who though?
I've always wanted to ask this question, i think maybe Duff's wife at the time, if he had one at the time, cos he's had 3!

[MadmanDan]

alright......... I have to confess

OK,I got out of the house,got into my car,put the windows down,drove around for,like a half hour with So Fine on the CD player. Still hate it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Maybe someday...

[Eazy E]

Well, that's it, I believe EVERY Guns N' Roses song has had it's own thread at this point.  

[ClintroN]

i dont like how Slash bends the solo too much in Tokyo vid, it kinda ruins it.

[metallex78]

I remember when I was getting into the Illusion albums in 1992 and hearing the lyrics to So Fine and cringing a bit. But the song has a sleaziness to it that's kinda cool, and the song is very much Duff all over.
I like it, but it's not my fav GN'R song.

I'm hoping VR will play it on tour though, with Duff on vocals of course.

[SwedeChildO'Mine]

Though it's quite a simple song I'd easy to get into it.

Still today I think it's a great song but not top 5 at the equal album UYI2

[Rebecca Duff Rose]

But the song has a sleaziness to it that's kinda cool, and the song is very much Duff all over.

  Are you saying Duff's sleazy!!!!!!!

did you drive around AT NIGHT...that was key for me....


its cool if you dont like it but i think its awesome, and one day you will realize how you are missing out




Edit: Fixed quotes. /jarmo

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Dam right this song rocks. I do like it better live. Yeah Duff does a great job on vocals.

[metallex78]

Sorry Rebecca, you know I'd never say anything degrading about your beloved Duff!

The song is sleazy, but in a good way... if that makes sense? hehe

[norway]

I like your sense of humor madmandan

I was fed up with the illusions albums when i got into the oh my god so that song didn't get into me right away. But if you're into more heavier stuff... you'll get goozebombs. (It took time though)
 i like some songs now better than before. it's strange; double talking jive don't work in the vocals live but the live solo is much better than the edited studio clip

I like the soft parts of so fine

the extended screams on jungle and live and let die in the new line up is like heaven. It totally takes off.

[Mattgnr]

i dont like how Slash bends the solo too much in Tokyo vid, it kinda ruins it.

Now, now Clintron let's not start this again!   or you'll be sorry  

[diza]

My favorites for ever are paradise city ,djungel,but all the songs are so good.

[Buritoking]

I really don't like so fine very much at all. And I understand that's just my own subjective opinion of the song, and that everyone has a different taste. But the one thing I can't understand is that some of you think Duff does a good job on vocals on this song? That's crazy duff should never have been allowed anywhere near a mic. With Izzy singing, and Axl singing on this album, Duff songs like he has something stuck in his voice box, in comparison. But again that's just my opinion.

[blues_rock_axeman]

What did Axl mean when he said 'Cos she's smart, that's why' after the song in Tokyo? I don't get it...

[WJC]

I've had the Gn'R albums for quite some time now. When I first bought them I'd play them over and over again, they'd be certain songs I didn't like the sound of, but as I played them again they started to grow on me.  

I find that sometimes I have to be in a certain mood to listen to a song and actually enjoy it, but then again allot of the songs suit all my moods.

I don't think there's a Gn'R song I don't like now.

  It's ok!
Only cos you called DUFF my beloved!  

Actually My Michelle is sleazy but very good too!  

Now that other dude gunner get it- Next post!

  WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNN DUFF CAN'T SING?!?!?!?!
I mean thats what you are practically saying!!!!!!!  
Aren't you???

How dare you!!!  


Only joking mate! I accept your opinion!  

[MadmanDan]

Duff is a great bass player,a decent backing vocal,but the dude can't fuckin sing!!! "The king of beers" shouldn't have ever tried.   Oh,he can't write either. Don't get me wrong,I do like the guy

[volcano62]

I agree that "The King Of Beers" is not the best singer in the world but he sings sorta punky like the music he grew up with. As for writing, go out and buy Duff McKagan's "Beleive In Me" and you will like his lyrics in the song Beleive In Me and Man In The Meadow.

Besides Gilby Clarke's solo albums, Beleive In Me is the next best GN'R solo effort, much better than Slash's Snakepit......Eric Dover Uhhhhh..... he sucks!!!!

[Slashly]

Yeah, so fine really rocks!!
Specially  when Duff sings!!

What did Axl mean when he said 'Cos she's smart, that's why' after the song in Tokyo? I don't get it...

Maybie it the ansewr to: how could she be so fine, how could she be so cool,etc.
Couse she is smart that is why she is so cool

[DEAD HORSE]

"Yeah ...I think you know where that comes from...guitar come on "   WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its studio Version but seems the live one .  its so real!  

[Hung Well]

Duff is a great bass player,a decent backing vocal,but the dude can't fuckin sing!!! "The king of beers" shouldn't have ever tried.

Ok.

 Oh,he can't write either.

Hold up.  Didn't Duff write It's So Easy?

[Snakepit__]

Yeah, It's Really Rocks.. It's A Real Good Song And Duff Does A Killer Job On The Bass Guitar.. And The Vocals Are So FUCKING Great!!

[blues_rock_axeman]

Duff is a great bass player,a decent backing vocal,but the dude can't fuckin sing!!! Oh,he can't write either.

You haven't heard the Beautiful Disease album, have you?

Yea,I didn't listen to any solo work from Duff. If you all say they're great,I believe you. But he is a far inferior songwriter than Axl or Izzy. "So fine" proves my point.

[nesquick]

I love "so fine". a very underrated song. It could have been a single and it would have done very well in the charts I think.

[Rebecca Duff Rose]

Some don't understand that Duff was brought up on Punk, and that it different to normal singing you would expect from Axl!
Right? I mean Duff, Axl, Izzy= great singers!
Different voices {of course!}
mainly because of who inspired them!
Duff is a punk singer! He has had several, several punk bands, thats why he sings on TSI a lot more than other albums!

I think his backing vocals are up to scratch on AFD, etc. too!

Ya's get that now?  

[erose]

  at least you made an effort! did you make sure it was at night, meaning it was dark outside?
