Guest Dmann2000 Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 Although I like both albums I agree that combined the two seem bloated and excessive. So I was wondering what 10-12 tracks would you choose from both to make up 1 Use Your Illusion, mine would look like this: Civil War Knockin on Heaven's Door Live and Let Die Don't Cry (version 1) November Rain Estranged Yesterdays Locomotive Bad Obsession You Could Be Mine Garden of Eden Dead Horse Coma
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 What, no "Get In The Ring"? No UYI comp is complete without at least *some* of the brutally retarded junk on there, and that's probably the best example.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 Except for Live & Let Die, Garden of Eden and November Rain, nothing is really good off UYI 1, IMO btw, I was at the Concert when they recorded "Get in the Ring."
Guest Renegade Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 No order: Civil War Knockin on Heaven's Door Live and Let Die Don't Cry Yesterdays Locomotive You Could Be Mine Shotgun Blues Get in the ring (fuck the lyrics, you cant beat that solo) Pretty tied up Right next door to hell Perfect crime You ain't the first Back off bitch Bad obsession
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 This is gonna be hard. Dust N' Bones Perfect Crime Bad Obsession Back Off Bitch November Rain Garden Of Eden Dead Horse Coma Shotgun Blues Breakdown Pretty Tied Up Locomotive
Guest converge241 Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 (not in tracklist order) My World (as the filler) Locomotive one of the dont cry's (maybe II) double talkin jive dust n bones estranged the garden coma 14 years thats it
Guest Flyboy Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Don't Cry (version 1) "Don't Cry" with alternate lyrics is the better song, in my opinion.
Guest hardyz1 Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Not in order Civil War Yesterdays Knockin on Heaven's Door Get In The Ring You Could Be Mine Estranged Don't Cry (either version) Live and Let Die November Rain Coma
Guest redbaron51 Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 isn't there a best of Use Your Illusion compilation CD out there?
Guest ZGangsta Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Except for Live & Let Die, Garden of Eden and November Rain, nothing is really good off UYI 1, IMO What? Coma is one of the most brilliant tracks of all time in my opinion. I've tried to make a UYI comp cd many times before and even with hours of listening and painstaiking research, I've NEVER been able to make one without cutting a couple songs that I feel are essential. I agree that UYI 1 is the weaker of the two by far, because a lot of the stuff just kind of sounds the same. UYI 2 is one of my favorite albums of all time, but I could do without Shotgun Blues, My World is just fucked up, and Get in the Ring, while having a great guitar line, is just embarassing. Oh, and the Use Your Illusion Compilation did come out, but doesn't have Coma or you Could be Mine, so it's worthless.
Guest Black Lushus Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Dust N Bones is another good track from UYI 1, man show the love!
Guest Respect The 'Taker Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Like this thread wouldn't have someone like me ending up posting in it.. It's impossible to create the perfect UYI album IMO, i wouldn't change ANYTHING on either CD, however since it's the topic and all.. Right Next Door To Hell - Has to be the opener, nothing is a furious & angry as this Dust N Bones 14 Years Civil War Don't Cry Pretty Tied Up You Could Be Mine Estranged Locomotive Coma - Has to be the closer Coma is the finest song, along with Estranged, that GNR has ever performed lyrically and musically in my opinion, it's mind blowingly orgasmic and for ANY GNR compliation to be without is a crime. UYI
Guest converge241 Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Coma has a dual purpose besides being an awesome song many high school students around when it came out used to time their showers to it
Guest Black Tiger Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 There is already a Use Your Illusion Album with songs from both CDs on it Live And Let Die Don't Cry (Original) You Ain't The First November Rain The Garden Dead Horse Civil War 14 Years Yesterdays Knockin' On Heaven's Door Estranged Don't Cry (Alt Lyrics) I'd probably swap You Ain't The First with Patience, and put Back off Bitch on there as well.
Guest ZGangsta Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 I'd probably swap You Ain't The First with Patience, and put Back off Bitch on there as well. Patience was off of Lies.
HurriShane Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 November Rain Dust n' Bones Shoutgun Blues Don't Cry Civil War Yesterdays Right Next Door to Hell Knocking on Heavens' Door Pretty Tied Up 14 years Don't Cry(alt. lyrics)
Guest spiny norman Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 There's a lot of love for Knockin' On Heaven's Door here, and I really don't know why. I honestly think that's their worst song bar none and one of the worst covers out there. I do think they're a very good band, not to the extent as most people on here, but I still think they are quite good. But when it comes to covers, I think they are awful. While Live And Let Die is bearable, I think Knockin' On Heaven's Door is a really really abismal cover.

I LOVE the knockin on heavens door cover, it conveys a totally different emotion to the original.

I LOVE the knockin on heavens door cover, it conveys a totally different emotion to the original. I think the reason so many non-avid GNR fans out there dislike the song is due to the fact it is performed in a way which is totally ignorant to the what the song actually is meant to implicate. Axl has a bad habit of misinterpreting things, espically music ( like Sympathy for the Devil ), and he took to Knockin' on Heavens Door as though it was meant to be a happy, joyful song, whereas it is meant to be taken to in a solitary and depressing way, as that is what the lyrics imply. I've always thought Axl should just stick to what he does best, that being his own music.
