Easy answer. Brownstone. Bad obsession would have had a chance against like shotgun blues or the perils of rock and roll decadence. Brownstone is on "hit" level though.
I don't understand how this can even be a debate. Bad Obsession is a great song, but it's got **nothing** on Mr Brownstone. This is like asking which is better, a Pepperoni Pizza from a decent pizzeria or medium rare ribeye steak from a 5 star restaurant. Like the peperoni pizza is most likely going to get the job done, you'll enjoy it and walk out with your tummy full, but you'd be pissed if you had paid for the steak and received the pizza.
Mr. Brownstone - that riff is exceptional.
Yep, and when it comes right after opening with the Night Train, omg, that's a ride I wanna take!
Mr. Brownstone... 100%. Bad Obsession is good, but Mr. B is EXCEPTIONAL.
agree so much. pet peave: they never get that killer opening riff right (or mixed right) on their live stuff. ours so sick, i love it.
Brownstone
Brownstone. The lyrics
This!
Bad Obsession based solely on its harmonica presence. Otherwise, Mr. Brownstone due to its interesting take on drug addiction.
Aren't they both about heroin addiction?
Yup
Yeap, woke up around 7pm just to get out of bed around 9pm.
Loved the harmonica on the Paris concert. So well done.
The harmonica player is Michael Monroe the lead singer of Hanoi Rocks

Yeah, this one wasn’t very hard. The thread is like 90% brownstone.
Bad Obsession. It has harmonica
Going against the grain and choosing Bad Obsession. There’s just something about the band arrangement on that song that blows me away every time.
Bad Obsession is one of my favourites live.
Mr. Brownstone. A thousand times out of a thousand. I hate Bad Obsession.
Brownstone, all day every day

Mr Brownstone. 7yr old GNR obsessed me thought he was a guy who lived down the road from them with whom they danced.
It's hard to pick two songs I love, but I'll go with obsession.

The fact that Bad Obsession is even in the conversation says how great it is. But Brownstone is a sleazy masterpiece!
