GNR - Don't Cry (alternate lyrics)

[NAD]

It's on the radio right now, reminding me of how lame that was. "Hey, let's put our lamest song on TWO albums and slightly change the lyrics for one version!"

I like it better than "November rain" and "Sweet child o' mine" though, although it's one of the songs I usually skips when I hear either ones of the "Illusion" albums. I never really liked any ballads by metal bands, except a very, very few here & there.

 

[NAD]

Ballads are okay sometimes, I like November Rain now that I'm older. I used to fast foward it to the metal part of the song 10 years ago though.

all GN'R ballads suck -- still I claim I'm a fan (my first hard rock/metal band)
well, there's one ballad that does not suck at all, but it's not a ballad in this sense, more a psycho-trip: COMA

As you can see by the depressing/cry songs threads it's not that I don't like ballads, it's just that when a metal/hard rock band make them it's usually gross. But then again, most of the ballads/sad stuff that I like is from the 60's, so that might be the reason why most ballads today are gross, as I think there aren't really much sad stuff from the 70's, 80's & 90's.
Second of all, I think GN'R's "Coma" is the best song they ever did, right after "Nightrain" of course!

 

[NAD]

Coma rules. I used to listen to that song day and night as a teenager.

I personally think Estranged is one great song. I may be the only one who appreciates the work it takes for them [GNR] to write and play such music, but whatever...

Estranged is too long-winded... the song lives from Slash's weeping guitar bridges, if they weren't there it would be one boring song

 

[Board]

Well that's just a matter of taste. Personally I also think "Estranged" is cool!
