That Izzy track is called Baby Rann. Great track.... dude has like 8 solo albums or so. Not every track is a masterpiece but some you hear where the Appetite sound went. And I agree on Steven. Great drummer and a solid dude these days. His chops are back up but they wouldn't bring him back to tour. I also feel the Illusion albums were two alright albums that could have made one really great one.

Yeah..Funny story about My World. I used to put 5 CDs in my cd changer and set it to shuffle before bed each night. The day I bought UYI 2, it went in the player so I could "shuffle spin" it, as I called it. At that time, I was living in a small dorm sized room, so my stereo was about five feet from my bed; my volume was set on 4. In the dead of night my blood run cold as My World started. Creepy song to hear for the first time at that time of night. I do enjoy the song.

@@themadmattster9647 Izzy said they didn’t want to split the Loot fairly. Considering Izzy was the main song writer, they should’ve paid the man. I think he was the most important member of the band and without him they are probably a good rock band but wouldn’t be legendary. Adler’s drumming is great on Appetite and gave them a more aggressive dangerous sound.

Better is the best song on Chinese Democracy as far as I can remember. I’d be more excited about new Guns material if Izzy and Adler was involved. Breakdown grows on you. I didn’t like it at first but realized over time it was one of my favorites off of the Illusions.

Chinese democracy is a great album it was a shame. It was slam by the music press because they wanted it to fail in sales because of the time and cost of making the recording of that Album. Plus part time G’n’R fan did want buy it because it’s not the real G’n’R line up. I all ways call it the Axle Rose solo album it a great album

Thanks for the great track by track (& mention) Dr. Fukk & Anonymous. I’ll go out on a limb and speak for other GNR fans & say that Use Your Illusion II is one of those special albums that’s best appreciated after a couple of complete listens. It’s an emotional & intimate peace of work when judged as a whole (Plus some great song lyrics) Going track by track & judging each song individually? Yes. Use Your Illusion 1 or Chinese Democracy may have some better tunes.

1. “Civil War” > “Chinese Democracy”: Despite some good guitar work by Robin Finck and Bucket, “Chinese Democracy” just seems a little bit bland overall. “Civil War”, despite some overproduction and the stupid little piano breakdown near the end, is still a great song and a strong opener to UYI II. 2. “14 Years” < “Shackler’s Revenge”: I can’t say either is that great, which sucks since I love Izzy and I love Bucket, who co-wrote the latter, yet for some reason had his solo replaced by Bumblefoot (who also wasn’t given the original track while doing his solo. So if it sounds disconnected from the song, that’s why). 3. “Yesterdays” > “Better”: Both great songs, but I give it to “Yesterdays”, it’s just got such an epic feel to it, plus I love Slash’s solo on it. 4. “Knocking On Heaven’s Door” < “Street Of Dreams”: Even when I was a kid, all about GnR and only listening to Bob Dylan songs if it was a cover, I could still tell what an awful cover this was. So while “Street of Dreams” may not be the best song ever, it pretty much wins by default. 5. “Get In The Ring” < “If The World”: I cannot believe I used to think “Get In The Ring” was so badass as a kid. Even without knowing that Axl chickened out of Bob Guchiani Jr’s challenge, it’s still super cringe to listen to. “If The World” wins by default, at least you have Bucket’s flamenco guitar and some pretty cool piano against the sparse electronic rock soundscape. 6. “Shotgun Blues” < “There Was A Time”: “Shotgun Blues” is so-so, probably another cut that would have been better 7. “Breakdown” > “Catcher In The Rye”: I do really dig both songs. However, I think “Catcher” was much better in demo form with Brian May soloing. 8. “Pretty Tied Up” > “Scraped”: I actually like “Scraped”, maybe it’s the Buckethead fan in me (this is another song he co-wrote), though yeah, what the hell is up with that intro? However, “Pretty Tied Up” is a really dope track and it’s always been a favorite of mine (could do without Dizzy Reed’s piano, but that’s a small gripe). 9. “Locomotive” > “Riad N The Bedoins”: Don’t like “Riad” at all, but “Locomotive” is awesome. An epic track with some stellar work by Slash on guitar, and even the drum machine is actually good on here. A disc and a half in, and Matt Sorum decides to do more than just the bare minimum. Go figure. So yeah, naturally “Locomotive” wins. 10. “So Fine” < “Sorry”: I will say that “So Fine” did a great job at deterring many youngsters from doing drugs. After all, you end up dying and then “So Fine” will be written for you. So there’s that. Other than that, “Sorry” is the clear winner here. An awesome, trippy track, easily the best Bucket co-write and one of the best cuts on here. A fantastic solo by Bucket, a great tranqui fury performance from Axl, it’s a slam dunk. 11. “Estranged” > “I.R.S.”: “I.R.S.” would easily beat a few Illusion cuts, but not “Estranged”. 12. “You Could Be Mine” > “Madagascar”: I do genuinely dig “Madagascar”. Well, other than the MLK sample, which is really pretentious. But over “You Could Be Mine”? Yeah, right. 13. “Don’t Cry (Alt Lyrics)” < “This I Love”: I would take the original “Don’t Cry” over “This I Love”, but the second version was totally pointless. So I’m going with the wangsty, pussy ass piano ballad “This I Love”, which I actually do like against all better judgement. 14. “My World” < “Prostitute”: Love “Prostitute”, such a great song, and even if I wasn’t into the song, come on, it’s still the clear winner here. Aaaaannnnd...it’s a tie for me!

Before I watch, so I’m not influenced either way by the good Dr. my pick is Chinese Democracy….., it’s a little ‘overbaked’ in some ways, but the production is fantastic- bringing all the different dynamics, textures and styles together…, respecting the different styles without sounding offensive. Very compressed and LOUD without sounding overly processed and digital. HUGE fan since ‘88. I was at the Giants Stadium show (Paradise City video) where they opened for Deep Purple with Aerosmith headlining, a true ROCK SHOW for sure. Saw them many times up till they ‘broke up’. Listened to Illusion 1 and 2 nonstop for 2 years so maybe it’s too played out for me. “Estranged” still gets me every time (also “Coma” from Illusion 1). Last few years, I keep grabbing Chinese Democracy. There’s so much going on in there, it’s dense without being annoying- I love it. Might’ve been looked at as an all time great epic work if it didn’t take 16 damn years to produce. Now I’ll compare my thoughts to Dr. Fffff ✌️

I feel like both Use Your Illusion albums have bloated, and it should’ve been just 1 album. But, I’m also not a GNR fan. Yes, I don’t even like Appetite (I am not denying the impact of Appetite, but it does nothing for me. Plus, Welcome to the Jungle used to play all the time at my old work, so there’s also burnout.) I’ve never been a fan, but hey, to each their own. You like it, enjoy it. Music is beautiful that people can like whatever they want, and it ain’t a problem. So, there was my monologue. Another quality video.
