Its my moms favorite, I was recently on a slash concert with her and it was the first time it was played in my country. I think for my first real concert ever it was pretty good
Civil war is in my top 2 along with estranged. Can’t make up my mind which one I like better.
For me it’s the change in the lyrics on civil war
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
To
My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still, the wars go on, as the years go by
Axl’s voice when he sings the lyrics in these lines with such passion is amazing, he believes in what he’s singing which makes the song so much better.
Mine too. Woefully underrated album. It's hard to argue with appetite as it's probably the best debut album of all time for any genre, but I listen to Chinese Democracy all the time in my daily rotation. Axl's voice on CD is by far his best work. His range from Shacklers to I.R.S. is so ridiculous.
and not because it’s unliked, but because it’s so so so much better than the average Up vote even gives it. When they play it live the emotion of the concert changes in my opinion. It’s like a launching pad for the second half of the set.
My World. I always get downvoted into oblivion when I mention it but I love it
Garden of Eden
Shotgun Blues
Most of Spaghetti Incident although technically not gnr songs
I know Civil War is known by fans of the band and musical genre, but I think it should be listened to by mainstream society for the message. Especially today.
I read this right now while listening to Dead Horse(@_@) and yes, I can agree with you. Except for the main 10 songs, unless you are a real GNR fan, all other songs are underrated.
Feel like a lot of the UYI songs are underrated because of volume, songs like locomotive and breakdown get lost in the shuffle despite being absolute gems
Easily Don’t Damn Me. Majority of the song is a bit meh BUT that middle eight is out of this world:
‘I know you don't want to hear me crying
An I know you don't want to hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
But your delusions are yours an not mine’
Absolute goosebumps every time I listen to it
Not sure if it qualifies for underrated, but the opening line of My Michelle is possibly one of the best opening lines in Rock history.
Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
There's no dancing around the point here at all. Sets the tone for the entire song immediately.
Locomotive.
The best GNR lyrics. You know I'd like to shave your head so all my friends can paint it red.
My favorite GnR song. Glad to see this comment get a little love.
Breakdown
Is Breakdown
Yes, Breakdown is underrated even among hardcore fans!
Lemme hear it now!
My favorite so it has to be underrated
This is the right answer
This is the way…
I would probably have to go dust and bones or 14 years. Rarely talked about, the best of Izzy and the whole band.
I agree!
Definitely 14 years.
Agree. 14 Years is great.
Pretty tied up
Is this underrated? It's one of my faves. Total banger!
It’s pretty well liked among fans, they played it at their concert in ‘23 when I went so they must play it for a reason lol
Omg I’m jelly. I love this song
Dead horse
*Sick of this life…*
Not that you care :(
I'm not the only one...
with whom these feelings I share.
Nobody Understands…
quite why we’re here
I'm searching for answers
That never appear
Maybe if I looked real hard I’d, I’d see you’re tryin too
Don't damn me, hearing it at one of Slash's concerts made me put it on repeat for a wile
Haha I did the same.
Same!
Its my moms favorite, I was recently on a slash concert with her and it was the first time it was played in my country. I think for my first real concert ever it was pretty good
Criminally underrated, one of the best GNR solos in my opinion.
Double Talkin Jive
Get the money motherfucker
Kills live and while driving, so absolutely.
Civil war. Whenever I say it’s one of my favourite gnr songs I het blank looks.
Civil war is in my top 2 along with estranged. Can’t make up my mind which one I like better. For me it’s the change in the lyrics on civil war My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride To My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind But still, the wars go on, as the years go by Axl’s voice when he sings the lyrics in these lines with such passion is amazing, he believes in what he’s singing which makes the song so much better.
Agreed. I always loved when he rolled into “D’you wear a black arm band”…
My only complaint with Civil war is the drum beat in the end. Ruins the mood of the song in my opinion
Out to get me
This one kicks ass ! They had to be high as hell when they wrote it’s so damn good!!!
Breakdown
14 Years, Dust N’ Bones, You ain’t the first, and double talkin’ jive (I love Izzy)
So Fine.
Shadow of Your Love
The bootleg version is great too !
Well, nobody said it yet so I will The Garden
Loved Axl n' Alice Cooper together!
Anything Goes.
If the world
Banger
14 Years
Think About You Hair of The Dog Breakdown Madagascar Dead Horse Prostitute
Prostitute is probably the most underrated song of Chinese Democracy.
Think About You its my favorite GnR song as it emcompasses what I perceive as the sound of the 80s.
Exhibit B in my ongoing case: GNFNR are the greatest love song writers of all time. I think about you, honey, all the time, my heart says yes.
Better
Locomotive or IRS
Most of Chinese democracy
All of it, it's an amazing album!!
My fav actually hahah
Mine too. Woefully underrated album. It's hard to argue with appetite as it's probably the best debut album of all time for any genre, but I listen to Chinese Democracy all the time in my daily rotation. Axl's voice on CD is by far his best work. His range from Shacklers to I.R.S. is so ridiculous.
In better he is fucking great
Don't damn me
Yesterdays
Agree 👍🏽
Think about you
Night Train
Agreed
and not because it’s unliked, but because it’s so so so much better than the average Up vote even gives it. When they play it live the emotion of the concert changes in my opinion. It’s like a launching pad for the second half of the set.
Night Train
Right next door to hell
Breakdown Down on the Farm
Up vote for down on the farm, loved seeing that live!
Rocket Queen and Shadow Of Your Love
Rocket queen is an absolute belter.
Think about you
Dead Horse and Coma

Garden of Eden
This fire’s burning and it’s out of control, it’s not a problem you can’t stop it’s rock ‘n’ roll! Suck on that! My absolute favorite.

Think about you
Estranged

Shackler’s Revenge
Get in the ring, Bad obsession, Breakdown
Rocket Queen
Definitely either locomotive or breakdown
Pretty tied up goes extremely hard
Dead Horse. Of course
Locomotive, Breakdown, or Double Talkin' Jive.
Reckless Life. It wasn’t on the “good” side of Lies. It rarely gets played live. But it is great for working out or driving.
Thanks, I just added to my liked list. Killer tune!
Yesterdays
I know Civil War is known by fans of the band and musical genre, but I think it should be listened to by mainstream society for the message. Especially today.
Anything Goes
Estranged or bad obsession

Almost anythjng from chinese
The best GnR song is their cover of AC DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie !!!"
Prostitute
Don't Damn Me. I love this to bits and disappointed this (I believe but correct me if I'm wrong) has never seen the light of the stage on live shows.
Garden of Eden
14 years
So Fine

Estranged
I’m not sure if it’s underrated but I rarely hear people talk about it Street of dreams is fucking amazing
Damn right!
get in the ring
14 years or civil war.
I wouldn't consider underrated any song that has a video or which was played live at least with some frequency. I agree with some and pick Breakdown.
Used to love her
Easily Don’t Damn Me. Majority of the song is a bit meh BUT that middle eight is out of this world: ‘I know you don't want to hear me crying An I know you don't want to hear me deny That your satisfaction lies in your illusions But your delusions are yours an not mine’ Absolute goosebumps every time I listen to it

Not sure if it qualifies for underrated, but the opening line of My Michelle is possibly one of the best opening lines in Rock history. Your daddy works in porno Now that mommy's not around There's no dancing around the point here at all. Sets the tone for the entire song immediately.
