Still the best breakup song ever...

Then there's the French and Saunders version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_xH7q-rNUY

Nothing says narcissistic overblown productional windbaggery like the 9 minutes of November Rain

Except for maybe posting a thread about it.

subshiatter doesn't know a great rock ballad when he hears it.

Awesome. I think I still have the sheet music around here somewhere...

Did you say chocolate rain?

Yes, because there are certainly no bands performing today with ridiculously over-produced videos and stage shows. There are especially no emo bands from New York doing concept albums about gothy marching bands.

lexshine: subshiatter doesn't know a great rock ballad when he hears it.

This... The solo at the end is awesome. Slash is a legend.

all the good names are gone: The solo at the end is awesome

Takes long enough to get to it.

Judging from the headline, I'm guessing Tay Zonday is into his pretentious artsy stage.

Do all singers bend away from the mic when breathing?

I always thought the song sucked, but the solo was hot.

Only the best ones goddamnit!

the more wet Stephanie Seymour, the better.

and Slash absolutely rocks.

Best. Video. Ever. (new window)

I remember when this was on MTV. Used to always come on right as I had to leave for school.

/pointless story quotient filled.

Piss off, I like November Rain

fuzzwell: Did you say chocolate rain?

Some stay dry and others feel the pain.

I always preferred the acoustic demo version of this song (new window). When it was finally released as a studio track, I was so disappointed

/sorry...

phuque i hate GNR
and that particular piece of crap especially

just hackneyed derivative crap
spewed up by idiots



/first time i heard GNR i thought it was a joke
//like spinal tap

There is nothing wrong with narcissistic overblown productional windbaggery. It's just rock.

I'm not a big Guns n' Roses fan, but what I appreciate about them is that you can tell they were trying to write the best rock record of all time. It would be great if more musicians had that kind of ambition.

Guns N' Roses rocked. You can claim, with some ground, that they were narcissistic, especially Axl, but most artists are. The difference is that GnR had genuine talent to back it up.

Nothing says narcissistic overblown windbaggery like someone who probably can't even play guitar biatching about how"November Rain" sucks from the basement of his parent's house, the basement where he looks at dirty, dirty pictures of naked girls he will never be able to touch due to lack of social skills and personal hygiene, girls that Slash would has discarded hundreds of times over in the hedonistic paradise that is Slash's life.

/sorry, pet peeve

steveo: Yes, because there are certainly no bands performing today with ridiculously over-produced videos and stage shows. There are especially no emo bands from New York doing concept albums about gothy marching bands.

They're from West Orange New Jersey

Also, still not emo.

I love Slash's guitar solo in November Rain. It makes me want to learn how to play electric guitar.

Also, I'd hit Stephanie Seymour like the fist of an angry god slamming a screen door in a hurricane.

And if they had half the talent GnR had they may actually be listenable.

what the hell is all this shiat about pretention? guns n roses rocked for a brief period in the late 80s and early 90s and there is no denying it. they pretended nothing.

Subby: I totally prefer real Rock songs that are 3 minutes long for my short attention span. Maroon 5 FTW!!!! OMFG THAY R SO HAWT TOO!!!!111one!!!!11won!!!111

I don't mind big overblown productions as long as they're good. The problem is this band sucks.

/and I'm not saying Slash can't play; he can absolutely wail
//I'm saying the band sucks

Bonkthat_Again: Still the best breakup song ever...

Here I thought it was that song.."I used to love her but I had to kill her"...

Good song but damn I got tired of it by the 5000th I heard it on rock radio or pop radio or saw it on MTV as a teenager, to the point where I still can't listen to the song.


/would hit Stephanie Seymour like a farking Mack truck

Courtney Cox-Zucker: I always preferred the acoustic demo version of this song (new window). When it was finally released as a studio track, I was so disappointed

I was totally expecting a rick-roll, but that was actually really good.

Thank you.

I think a real string section would've been much better than a cheesy synth-string.

What's with the MCR bashing? How does that even come up in a GnR thread?

I said it in another thread, but I'll repeat it here - I like their overblown epics.

I've tried and tried, but I can never really get into GnR. I like a couple of their songs okay, but I just flip the station whenever the likes of "Welcome to the Jungle" & "Paradise City" come on the radio.

Hopefully Axl got paid for every last split-second he was on-camera here.

Actually, I like the song. just not big on the video. And here's some attention span for you...one of my all time faves:

You mean like this?(pops)

Guns N' Roses, their touring backing band, Sir Elton John, along with the late Michael Kamen and the Rock & Roll Orchestra. MTV Video Music Awards 1992. Man, fark Lil' John, Axl was drinking from a goblet way back then. Poseur.

Thick As A Brick FTW!

/the vinyl's in the closet, the CD's in the car

Almost 101% positive that that is not a demo version, but was actually recorded on the Use Your Illusion tour.

"So! where the hell was Axl?
When you needed him last saturday?
and where were all his cronies
who never pulled him through?
They're all resting down in-studio
Writing and arranging
An overdue edition
of Chinese Democracy"

What story was that based on? Can someone who knows it break it down for me? I don't wanna read too much.

"The Lanuage Of Fear" by Del James. Just came back in print this year, available now at fine booksellers:

I am giddily proud to say I've never seen more than the "touching" ending.

Screw that song, and screw Axl Rose.


/Jump, GnR ... Jump that shark!

I think Slash is a farking a__hole. He dissed Mitch Mitchell at an awards show. That pissed me off.
