Use Your Illusion II poll

They're the same because they're ballads and have four chords?

Don't Cry was written during Appetite iirc

Yeah, those songs don't all sound the same to me... (also, fwiw, "So Fine" was written by Duff)

what's with all the funny voices

is it a 'thing'

was axl protecting his voice from touring fatigue or something

I listened to this at the gym this morning through headphones and this was very distracting. It's like Axl got high during the final mixing and just started adlibbing/scatting all over the tracks.

Sniffin' Your Own Rank Subjugation Jack: spoken interjections on the Use Your Illusion albums

TS: Fucking bitch” - “Back Off Bitch” v. “Fuck you...Bitch” - "Right Next Door To Hell"

Something about this album is that the sequencing is terrible(?)... it feels like the tracks were thrown out in random order (save, of course, for the vital importance of closing with "My World").

are the kids still paying their hard-earned money to read about the bands they wanna know about?

oh the way that Sheeran played
No one read the Hit Parade

Like, it's almost perverse that "You Could Be Mine," the big T2 single, is buried as track #12.

I'm tempted to Make My Own Tracklist for this one...

i really appreciated axl's concern for the kids' pocketbooks at that age because i didn't have money money for records let alone trashy rock mags like circus, but i really wanted to read them!

I would have voted for Estranged

Civil War is great
Pretty Tied Up is still a jam
M@tt is otm way upthread, Get In The Ring has such a great riff - it is *super* dumb but it’s still fun to listen to

I dunno if there’s any song that I hate ... cant really skip anything when it comes down to it

oh and Locomotive SLAYS

I got a thought that would be nice
I'd like to crush your head, tight in my vice
PAIN

Top five reasons this is one of the greatest rock albums of its decade (at minimum!):

Yesterdays
Get in the Ring
Breakdown
So Fine
Estranged
