I'm sorry, I just don't agree. I really love that song very, very much.
I love the song too. Bucket's solo and Axl's vocals at the end are possibly my favorite ending to any GN'R song. It's got great stuff going on but it's not perfect. The lyrics are the weakest part of it.

I fail to see the cheese factor some others do. Not calling you out, I just don't see it.
"Lonely teardrops, oooh, are callin' you."
Easily one of the worst (and cheesiest) lines he's ever written.

Axlin08, I personally love Think About You. Axl's vocals were awesome on that song. He put a lot of passion into it and the guitar work was top notch on that song as well. Anything Goes, though, is the one song I can say is weak on AFD. I used to like it when I was younger, but I find myself not digging it as much nowadays.
By the way, I think the lyrics in TWAT suck ass compared to the kind of stuff on AFD. Axl was speaking a little gritty truth on that album and TWAT has overblown cheesy lyrics. It's not the only song on CD that has those kind of lyrics either. Lyrically, I think My Michelle could be the best song he ever wrote. Just givin' the world an insight into the dark side of the L.A. gutter rat rock star scene.

Laughable but can be worth a discussion. But should be changed to how it compares to UYI's 1&2. AFD is just untouchable in my opinion.
AFD has 2, maybe 3 songs that could be considered "weak" but even they are still pretty good songs. Those would be Think About You, Anything Goes, and You're Crazy (electric version). The acoustic version of You're Crazy on GN'R Lies is amazing.

I agree. I would have voted for him. I actually think he should have run against Clinton in 96.
Yeah, he might have had a decent shot, though Clinton was a popular incumbent thanks to the booming Internet bubble in our economy.

Powell isn't a racist. He's been highly respected for decades. I read his autobiography back in the mid 90's, and its one of the best books I've ever read.
I can guarantee you if Obama appoints Powell to his cabinet, the right will criticize the everloving hell out of him. It's amazing that a white guy can select white people and there's no big deal. But the thought of a black President selecting a black person for his cabinet just drives these nutjobs even crazier than they already are. The double standard is quite amusing but also sad. If Obama has the balls to select Powell, I hope it's for Secretary of Defense, though Obama has said he would consider keeping Secretary Gates in order to keep continuity.
#3649 Re: The Garden » $150 million raised by Obama in September... » 936 weeks ago
Seriously? He spent the majority of that fighting Hilary?
I doubt that. McCain is still keeping up with Obama, and doesn't have a FRACTION of Obama's money.
Oh contraire. McCain has the RNC fundraising constantly for him. Through August, the RNC had $70+ million cash on hand. McCain had $36 million. Obama had $77 million. The DNC had like $20 million. So actually the Republicans have more money than Obama. It's just that, unfortunately for McCain, the RNC is having to fight tooth and nail for Congressional seats as well as helping his campaign.
