Weeeeeell it's a GN'R forum so I don't know how you'd think that question has never been asked before. That wolf in your avatar was once my desktop background. Though in the picture I saw it's lovely head was buried between its lovely paws.

The best GNR song, well there are 2 best ones. Like Metallica had 2 incredible songs, one and sandman, these were identical in the same way The Blues and Wlcm to the Jungle are.

Why i think these 2 songs in particular are the 2 best is bc both are groundbreaking . When jungle came out in 90-something we were all (rockers) segregated - One group was the hardcore metal group and then there were glam band folks (great bands tho like Bon Jovi and Motley Crue). Wlcm to the jungle was a new sound that you could listen to wout headbanging but rock out to like any speedmetal type band 2. They opened a new path in music.

Jungle transformed rock bc it was heavier than the heaviest metal sounds but so rock and roll that it was somthing you could understand. People listened and heared something more violent then they had ever experienced. Violent you ask? So fkn violent. Axl was raw and scary and revolutionized music bc it was uncensored rage and destruction - i lv the video bc i first saw it on headbangers ball at 1 am and was chilled to the bone, GNR scared the crap outta me, they werent nice boys and they broke every metal ediquette rule you could find, evil, thoughtful, explosive just shocked you. There was no insinc headbanging, gayass motorcycles on stage, and monotonous satanic lyrics. This song carried a social message too. That's the magic of their music, the lyrics and sound are perpendicular. Jungle is an essay on the degeneracy, and mindful violence of the urban jungles of today, written by farmboys who had envisioned the city as something beautiful and liberating, they found a jungle. This metal song, which it is, has a very deep message about the inhumanity of the city, there's a deeper message too but I wont go on.

When i first saw TheBlues I watched it over and over on YouTube and walked around a bit dazed for a while and went back and repeated. Well after a week of this, i started talking and thinking about this song that chilled me to the bone. This is a groundbreaking song and its sad how most people cant really understand it. I have a working understanding of psychoanalysis and know thatAxl s done his time in therapy and being the genius he is has brought to the world a song that is beautiful and mindblowing in its sincerity - it is a confession and i know why he did it.
This is much like the jungle in that its classic axl breaking all the ruls cause he hates rules and conformity. He refuses to be silent about anothr human issue, sexual abuse, and he also brilliantly narrates his thoughts and feelings as a survivor why. Wll, he is a social activist (for sexually abused children) and also he refuses to be silent, he is exposing this w all the media and money power he has. Chinese demc. is commendable projcet i think - Poor china, nobody fkn cares.

no offense but whats been done a million times as far as i can see is one sentence responses w no thought.

lyrically speaking, not musically, I would say Sweet child o mine is very good . im not a big shakespeare fan but this song virtually rips off shakespeares sonnets. Axl must be a shakespeare fan. He is a romeo rocker for sure.

What makes this song so powerful is what makes Axl so amazing. He brings to the table his pure masculinity so short insupply today.
What this song does is what every poem, mode of ediquette and romantic gesture have always done in medieval times. The powerful, rich, handsome, strong, alphamale sinks to his knee to offer a rose to the lady of his heart. Well. That gesture is an ancint one, that says, I hand over my power, ability to wield this sword, courage to smash my enemies at your service m lady. What does the "child" give? She gives him the peace that he cant find int he jungles hes born to. Shes removed and offers a sanctuary. Wow.

What so many people get angry bout i dont understand. Axl has said over and ovr that they are not a band that you can categorize they dont want to be stuck in some mold and repeat this "genre" over and over, each album changes bc they are musicians int he high sense, exploring music and creating something their own each time going beyon. Illusions is a lot liek Demc. in this sense.it's pissing off a lot of people that just shows how fixated we are and why we need cretive people to break out of the molds we pour over everything . Nbdy gets it. Maybe some. All i hear are comparisons Slash and Finck , Finck and Slash, Axl at 20 at 40 etc. They miss the boat, their band is alive an well bc its still breaking the mold.

Come on ppl- Nov. Rain is the most romantic song evr made. Its your classic Elvis love song. If Elvis were alive he woulda done Nov. Rn in LV.
This song is loved by men (maybe more than women) with the overpassionate fervor. This scene ceases to shock me, watching clips of Nov Rn 06 all over the world the crowd (mostly male voices) singing this song in the thousands till you cant hear AR. Nobody sees this? What can inspire such a response, only Elvis , and apparantly
AxR.

In a world of male-bashing, gender-equity insanity, this love song speaks to men more than before. It only shows how destroyed men feel today by the women that they struggle to understand and connect to. So much fracking pain and sadness. Thsi song is relavant. This song may be the greatest of the 3 bc it is yet another song that breaks the social mold, expectations(men singing love songs together??)- expressing the emotional vaccuum that they inhabit in what is becoming the norm (destruction of commitment) because women today are intolerable. Fangs and claws.

I wanna hear from men- what do you think?
