Your opinion on...? (a little game)

[gcluskey]

Perfect Crime is awesome, love the really fast flowing lyrics, its a real headbanger too!! it just ends suddenly too. The band were supposed to put out a movie in the 90s too called Perfect Crime, it was supposed to be a biographical film starring the band members, wonder what happened to the production of it. Probably seemed irrelevant after steven left

[SINSHINE]

SFTD...nice to see SOMEONE (let alone one of my favorite bands) cover this song and NOT do a straight forward cover of it! GN'R's version certainly applies a new pace to the song. It sounds like much more of an 'autobiographical' song (eg: from the 'devil's' POV) with Axl behind the mic. I love the Stones original...especially LIVE! But GN'R's version has so much charisma behind it, it's as if Lucifer himself hired 'em to do a lounge act with some attitude in tribute to yours truly on his birthday, LOL!

Very underrated among fans, IMO. Would love to hear it replace LALD or KOHD in a live set.

Been a while since I visited this thread...if it hasn't been chosen too many times already...how 'bout 'Coma.'

[*Timothy*]

A masterpiece on every level.



you ain't the First

[LIGuns]

You aint the First: Sought of has a Jimmy Buffet feel to it. A great getting over you theme song. It's what makes GN'R so special. The diversity from one song to the next.

Bad Obsession: Personally my fav. of the new songs played live prior to the release of the UYI set

[Atillla]

Never liked Bad Obsession, I skip it always. What a turd.

this is a fucking awesome song!!!!!!

i think it could explain the phenomenon "brown noise" as people will literally shit themselves when they hear it.

I'm really interested to hear what happens with the guitarts in the chorus. from the versions that I'm sure we've all heard, there is one in which the guitars are mid-high notes, and another which is low and dark sounding. personally i hope that they are both included and mixed together.

the real point to consider when listening to this song is that it is a DEMO!!! imagine what the Real thing will sound like!!!!!

to me the song a journey taken in a relationship, or success and failure. It may be autobiographical for axl, of how the band were successfula nd had everything they wanted and then just rested on their laurels, or how it was better when they had nothing...


"that keep you locked up sitting pretty,
on a pedestal of men
and now you're sleeping like an angel
near the man who reaped it in."

next Song: locomotive (i love the outro- llllooooooveeeeeee sooooooo strange!)

[Voodoochild]

Best outro tight with Rocket Queen. One of my favorite ones, tho the main section may sound a bit boring and repetitive. Still, killer lyrics and riffs, with the best Sorum performance I've heard.


Next song, a tricky one (and one of my fav too): Rhiad

[LIGuns]

Rhiad:
The  beggining reminds me of Zeps Immigrant Song..Live, vocally it has been tough to follow..I consider myself fortunate to be at the event on New Years 2000/2001 to see Axl's 1st concert in nearly 8 years where this song was revealed..I thought they only playyed it here and in Rio a 2002 afew weeks later. I was just watching a bootleg from Detroit Nov. 2002 and was shocked that it was played there as well..I must have missed it when I was checking the set lists daily...
Down on the Farm: Love the english accent Axl uses.Also made me find out that a SHANTY is an english drink(beer and lemonade)..

[McGann]

LOVE "Down on the Farm"
Live from "Farm Aid" is best.
Axl sings it like

He sings the classic
"I Don't Care About You".  GREAT!
How 'bout "Rocket Queen"??

Also made me find out that a SHANTY is an english drink(beer and lemonade)..

Uh.. Shandy.

[LIGuns]

Double Talkin' Jive: Sometimes I'm not convinced it's Axl singing..The classical guitar is a bit long but adds to the song..Always loved the rants and added lyrics live...

Live and Let Die: Makes McCartney's sound outdated..A great live song..

[seely]

Live and let die is pretty good, but i honestly think it seems like 'filler' material which could have been left out, since the UYI albums were long enough without a few of the 'filler' songs (e.g Bad Apples; my world; you ain't the first)

Next up: Shotgun Blues

[LIGuns]

Shotgun Blues: Never one of my favorites..
Cool lines:Me...I gotta lot to learn
An I'm still waitin' for the heads to turn
You say I walk a line
Fuck they move it every time
You walk a mile in my shoes
And then you tell me 'bout singin' the blues
You get what you pay for
An freedom's real high priced

Not so cool lines:
An while your rippin' off children
Somebody's fuckin' your wife

And then I'll put you
In your motherfuckin' place
And you...you can suck my ass
An I think it's so low class
Me...I'm just so concerned
I'm still waitin' for your ass to burn
Ooooh you want a confrontation
I'll give you every fuckin' chance
With your verbal masturbation

Patience

[slimrhcp]

Patience- perfect song to play for a girl you're seeing. Every gf I've had has become addicted to it. GNR song writing at it's finest.
