Guns N' Roses (Yes and Chinese Democracy, so don't make other threads on it.) (singer, metal)

oh, well they could have left a reason or something atleast, it seemed a bit of a pointless post to be honest...

I think its a pretty good song, there are some faulty points such as "selling soliders in a human grocery store" but they don't hang on that line, its here and gone as fast as the song will allow and some of the stazas aren't so much poetry but heartfelt observation, almost springsteen-esque:

"Did you wear a balck armband when they shot the man who said "peace could last forever", and in my first memories they shot Kennedy, I went numb when I learned to see so I never fell for Vietnam gat the wall in DC to remind us all that ya can't trust freedom when its not in your hands, when everbodys fightin' for the promised land and..."

I don't know, I think thats just an honest line about how [whoever wrote it] felt about the situation in 1991. The nice part is, its still relevent for as long as theres war. Someones always fighting for the cause they think is right and GnR wrote about it in a manner that wasn't too over the top but at the same time wasn't laconic in its thought and delivery.

I really like the song.

i can't see why there's so much negativity towards guns n roses, there seem to be more guns n roses haters on here than there are good charlotte haters. its absurd.

and i really did like every line of the lyrics

also, they sampled cool hand luke, so in conclusion there's nothing about it that isn't awesome in my books!

/\ Because hating GC doesn't get you noticed. Saying you don't like a band when theres only a sliver of a reason not to makes poeple like you write posts like this.

They want the attention you give them. Let them starve and ultimatly commit suicicde moley, just let them die.

"what's so civil about war?" Love the line

Nice song, I have to confess that I liked it.

TheBig3 · 05-28-2006, 03:45 PM

So I wrote a whole giant ass paragraph on why I think the song is quality, no one will refute me?

Reznorslave · 05-28-2006, 03:55 PM

This song is awesome as is GNR!!! If Axl and Slash ever hooked up again (which won't happen) and released an album, it would be one of the most anticipated releases ever. Despite years of nothing musically and an unending amount of Axl drama and weirdness, this band is still relevant!!!

i kind of dont want to
