In my opinion, it's Estranged -- no contest whatsoever. Runners-up: November Rain and Civil War.

 

[demi]

YEAH BABY!!!! SWEET CHILD OF MINE~

 

[PotatoeMasher]

In my opinion, it's Estranged -- no contest whatsoever. Runners-up: November Rain and Civil War.

We have someone who favors the 10-minute roller coaster ride epics?

Those are my three favorite songs... although I prefer Civil war over November Rain if that's meant to be in order... You are dear to my heart!

 

[Loki]

"November Rain", "Sweet Child O' Mine", and "Patience" are my faves.


"Paradise City" and "Welcome to the Jungle" are great, too.

 

[Fusebox]

YOU CANT MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!

Freakin way too many of them for me to choose one.

 

[FoneBone]

We have someone who favors the 10-minute roller coaster ride epics?

Yes.

 

[Hitman]

So hard to choose... For their epics I think "November Rain" is my favourite. For there hard rocking tunes I think "You could be mine" is my fave.

 

[LakeEarth]

Impossible question to answer. Just... just I can't do it.

 

[iceDragon7]

I'll choose November Rain. Long song also.

 

[darscot]

What`s up with the November Rain love fest. It would have to be a tune off Appetite but I cant pick one.

 

[cybamerc]

Guns N' Roses is the greatest rock band ever. Hell it's the greatest band ever period. Anyone know if Chinese Democracy is actually getting a release?

 

[Screenboy]

Yo' gunnaa DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEYA!!!'




-SB

 

[ElyrionX]

November Rain and Don't Cry

 

[Miguel]

Welcome to the Jungle.

 

[iapetus]

It would have to be a tune off Appetite but I cant pick one.

That's okay - I can.

Mr Brownstone.

 

[GDGF]

Don't Cry is my favorite, but I also loved the cover of Live and Let Die, and Patience is a classic. Those are tops, but there aren't very many G&R songs that I didn't like. Hell, I even liked One In A Million (and offensive as hell, it was...)

 

[ToxicAdam]

Welcome to the Jungle still gets me pumped up (for what? driving in my car, I guess).


Another fav is "I used to love her" off of the spaghetti incident.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Sweet Child O' Mine

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Mr Brownstone

 

[Team Rancid]

COMA!

 

[DrM]

Don't Cry

 

[pnjtony]

That's okay - I can.

Mr Brownstone.

True that! hands down the best!

used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it so a little got more and moooore!

 

[Trevelyon]

Um, it's a toss up between Paradise City & Don't Cry.

 

[dem]

Why isnt Mr Brownstone on the GNR Greatest hits cd? Slash being a bitch?


Anyway.. best song is Sweet child o mine..

Shes got eeyyyes of the bluuuest skiiess

 

[shantyman]

Damn, you guys only listen to the singles?

How about Locomotive? Or Nightrain? For the singles You Could be Mine is supreme. Screw the love songs man!

 

[Brofist]

Rocket Queen
It's So Easy
Mr Brownstone

I didn't get into their epic "November Rain" esque songs myself.

 

[shantyman]

PS: I Used to Love Her was on GNR Lies, not The Spaghetti Incident.

 

[Jdw40223]

"November Rain", "Sweet Child O' Mine", and "Patience" are my faves.


"Paradise City" and "Welcome to the Jungle" are great, too.

In the cold November Rain!!

 

[Dilbert]

I also don't understand the love for "November Rain." All the GnR fans I knew growing up had the exact same reaction when that song was released as a single: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE BAND I USED TO LOVE? WHAT IS THIS POMPOUS STRING-LADEN CRAP?

As for best GnR song, it's probably a toss-up between "Paradise City" and "Mr. Brownstone." The thing is, there aren't really a lot to choose from -- the two Use Your Illusion discs were terrible and Lies was a gimmick record, so you're pretty much stuck with picking something off Appetite For Destruction.

Now, if you started a topic about the best VAN HALEN song, that would be a more interesting discussion.

 

[ZigZagZig]

My favorite is Civil War. Just so cool. Worst is Bad Apples.

 

[Mzo]

Rocket Queen is tight.

So hard to choose =(

I think it has to be Estranged, in the end.

 

[Vicious]

Civil War.

 

[Winged Creature]

November rain and Paradise City

 

[bishoptl]

Civil War is locked in at number one on my list.
You Could Be Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, and Mr Brownstone are all battling it out for the next tier. Imagine my shock at learning that Mr Brownstone was actually referring to drugs! I didn't sleep well that night, let me tell you

Now, if you started a topic about the best VAN HALEN song, that would be a more interesting discussion.

Shit, that's easy. Panama.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

don't cry, november rain, estranged are my top 3

 

[DHGamer]

"Don't Cry" is my fave but I love em all.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Has there been a rock band since GnR that has kicked everyones ass? I was pretty much into rap at that time, and hearing 'Appetite' for the first time was pretty mind blowing. Even african american friends (that only listened to rap and r&b) seemed to like it.

 

[FortNinety]

I saw them live. Eh. They didn't even play November Rain. What a fucking gyp. Though Axel's gonna be a hottie... in 10 years.

 

[Guzim]

Civil War

 

[nitewulf]

i like their epic ballads, dont cry and november rain. i love sweet child o' mine and paradise city. i like their remakes of knocking on heaven's door and since i don't have you.

 

[BuckRobotron]

My top 5:
Sweet Child O Mine
Coma
Estranged
November Rain
You're Crazy (Lies version)

 

[Tsubaki]

November Rain

 

[Eggo]

Estranged all the way

 

[Eminem]

November Rain > their cover of Knockin' On Heaven's Door > Civil War > Don't Cry > Estranged

 

[BigJonsson]

You Could be Mine
Sweet Child O Mine
Paradise City
Welcome to the Jungle

 

[DJ Sl4m]

One in a Million

 

[Teddman]

The November Rain love is probably due in part to its pair of awesome extended Slash solos and the dark coda.

My personal faves are "Don't Damn Me," "Yesterday," and "You Could be Mine." I really dig the Lies album too.

 

[aparisi2274]

I fuckin love Appetite for Destruction. Any song on that CD is a classic, although Welcome to the Jungle gets me pumped everytime I listen to it, and I have to say that I really like the "live" version of Estranged off the Live Era Double CD.

 

[Ramirez]

Slow song-Don't Cry

Get me pumped up song-Welcome to the Jungle

 

[iapetus]

The thing is, there aren't really a lot to choose from -- the two Use Your Illusion discs were terrible and Lies was a gimmick record, so you're pretty much stuck with picking something off Appetite For Destruction.

Harsh much? Use Your Illusion is a great album, spread over two albums and padded out with the occasional turd (My World, for a start...) I've got a lot of time for Civil War, Don't Cry, 14 Years, Yesterdays, Dust n'Bones and a few others.
