What song by rock group "Guns N' Roses" is most worthy of cringe?

Post by Chip Z'Hoy »

Basically, which song is worse: "Get in the Ring" or "My World"? I say "Get in the Ring" (the way he says "motherfucker" tips it for me).

But you might vote a later jam, maybe "Absurd," which is quite awful.

Maybe something bland and pointless, like "Don't Damn Me."

Nobody likes "Anything Goes"--are you going with an Appetite jam? Truly a bad boy of rock, you are.

That 10 minute Live version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Should have been retired many years ago. I wonder how many fans use that for a pee break.

Nonsense. That’s the best song Axl’s ever done simply for “Gimme some reggae!” alone.

It has to me my world. Get in the ring is a close second.

I like anything goes. Its better than that shadow of love song that people always claim should have been on the album instead

This. Get in the Ring is Stairway to Heaven compared to this dreck. Music and lyrics.

Also, Get in the Ring at least feels like some honest Axl being pissed at the punks in the press. One in Million is him trying too hard to be street in his million dollar mansion.

(Real) "Guns N' Roses" song, the obvious pick is "My World", but "Breakdown" always annoyed me (and also reminds me of all the meandering filler on Axl's solo album).

The lyrics to "My World" are what I imagine Axl barking at Kurt Cobain backstage at the MTV Awards.

He's crazy. You don't want to mess with him, man.

"Get in the Ring" is more of a social media post than a song.

My World doesn't even deserve to be called a song if you ask me. Both versions of Don't Cry sound like something an angsty 12 year old would write in their bedroom after being turned down for a date to the Friday night dance at the school gym. Cliched lyrics and a generic chord progression a beginner would be embarrassed to play for anyone other than their mom. Pure shite

"November Rain." Overrated, dull wankery at its best (or, worst.) Every single song on Appetite for Destruction shits all over it. (So do quite a few of the other songs on UYI I or II.)

I knew it would be underwhelming when it was already being referred to as Axl's "Hey Jude" before it had even been released, and I turned out to be correct.

The video adds some unintentional comedy gold to an otherwise extremely mediocre song.

Agreed. It sounds like it was written by a 12 year old.

Is that the one where Rose can't figure out when to shut up at the end? "Eeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhheeeeeaaaahhhhhhheeaaaahhhhheeeeeaaahhhhh....."

You can almost hear the sound engineers asking each other "What is he doing? Are we leaving this shit in?"

‘You could be mine’ is amazing and the closest thing to Appetite on the UYI mixed-bags.

But the middle part with the rant about having lawyers on retainer is when GnR started to sound out of touch with their fan base. As a 13 year old I was not able to relate.

Yeah, every song on UYI was ruined by overlong attempted epicness
