Cosmo Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If this belongs somewhere else, feel free to move it.I sometimes find myself thinking some pointless stupid things. And sometimes I kinda like to get other people's opinions on these pointless thoughts. I was thinking 'There are three basic songs that almost everyone is aware of, independently if they like GnR or not: Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child 'O Mine and Paradise City. Independently if those are my favorite songs on AFD, or if whatever. That's how it is, those 3 songs are the basic 3 songs that people know even before they get into GnR.Which songs in UYI and CD would probably fit into this? Remember, it's not which are your favorite songs, it's which songs do you think would become permanent staples in tours, no matter what? I know some people might say CD doesn't have those 3, whatever, pick the closest thing...What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Really can't sum up Chinese Democracy in just 3 songs. It's one of those albums that stands up all together as a collective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bards Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If I had to define the album in three songs it would be:You Could Be Mine - representative of the band's harder edge and the song that brought them back into the public eyeNovember Rain - epic ballad that everyone and their grandmother knows, representative of the "axl ballads" on the albumDust N' Bones - representative of the "izzy songs" on the album...almost went with 14 Years as both are amazing tunesIt really was a sprawling collection of music and a great job from Mike Clink to make it all sound as cohesive as it did.
