GN'R Lies - Guns N' Roses, reserved seat amongst the rock Gods

Advantages: Excellent original songs, includes 'Patience'
Disadvantages: More or less a stop-gap from the record company

...GN'R Lies was the short LP released by Geffen records after the debut 'Appetite For Destruction', used as a stop gap between records. It features several live covers such as Aerosmith's 'Mama Kin', delivered in that high-pitched snarl of Axl Rose. Despite the lack of original material, there are several highlights, which all happen to be new songs - 'Patience', 'Used To Love Her' and 'One In A Million'. It is at this point Guns N' Roses were reserved a places in the pantheon of rock gods, as these songs are by far the highlight of an otherwise classic-rock cover album. 'Patience' is a heart-wrenching ballad, co-written by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin. It is of an acoustic arrangment, which gives Guns N' Roses a softer dimension that had never really been explored before. 'Used To Love Her' is perhaps the only Guns N' Roses song to...

Review of GNR TS900

gnr lies

Advantages: patience and a intresting look at early guns stuff
Disadvantages: one in a millions very contrversial lyrics

...a suicide" ep which all the tracks are live. a good riff to this one typical gnr hard riff and axl gravel vocals are instantly recognisable good solo from slash as well this track already starts to show you that guns n roses attitude that gave them the label "most dangerous band in the world" 2. Nice Boys (8/10) good catchy chorus to this one yet again axl's voice sounds raw and hard a quick drum beat to this one by Steven more hard riffing from slash and izzy and who can argue with axl when he sings "nice boys don?t play rock n roll" and in gun n roses case this statement couldn?t be more true. 3. Move to the City (10/10) For me this is one of the highlights of the album and an early sign of the potential this band had. love the opening riff and then the rest of the band kick in with a good old rock n roll riff axl's vocals are superb...

Review of Lies - Guns & Roses

Why doesn't my uni library update these????????

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Bulky, outdated!

...Well, I'm sitting here at uni trying to do some revision. I thought i'd jump on ciao for a bit and see what's happening. Trying to think of what i have used lately that i could write a review about, this struck me straight in the face. I was sitting in front of this monitor and thought why not write a review of this piece of cr*p! I mean, i generally only write about stuff i enjoy, now i can for the first time tell you about a product that is not only poorly designed, but seems to be used by a lot of my uni departments, probably because it was cheap!!!

Review of GN'R Lies - Guns N' Roses

Great for listeners of rock music

Advantages: good songs and selection of songs
Disadvantages: addictive

...If there are any G'n'R fans out there who still dont have this album go and get it, the same goes for any rock fans who like down to earth, uplifting rock music, this album is for you. The album has been put together brilliantly, starting out with songs Reckless Life, Nice Boys, Move to the City and Mama Kin. All first four songs are more of a fast paced hard rock variety which is simply music to the ears and very enjoyable listening, i regularly find myself singing along with axl and trying to sound as good as him tho i dont sound as good. Song 5 is patience this is a personal favourite of mine and goes from the usual hard rock to a melow chilling song, this song always makes me feel better when a little down over some things. Used to Love Her is the next track and i think will put a smile on any mans face, i would imagine it would...

Review of GN'R Lies - Guns N' Roses

Not quite GnR

Advantages: Some highlights
Disadvantages: Not in Guns n Roses class

...Does this just sound like a rejected G'n'R record? Well no, not really, despite the presence of Slash, Matt Sorum, Dizzy Reed and Gilby Clarke at various points. (The album also features Jeff Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Sebastian Bach and Dave "Snake" Sabo from Skid Row, as well as a 22-piece orchestra). Is it as good as a G'n'R record? Definitely not, which is hardly surprising after all. Duff's voice is obviously never going to be a match for Axl's - indeed the stand-out tracks are the ones featuring the guest vocalists - but there is no questioning his musical abilities, as he plays on a wide range of instruments. His bullhorn is especially exciting (oo-err missus!). The tracks are generally of a pretty uniform standard, although "Punk Rock Song" is a little bit strange in that it is definitely not Punk Rock! This does not bode well...
