I thought we all agreed Estranged was the winner

Estranged is fantastic, but just because paradise city was played a billion times doesn't make it better. Sorry applejack. I didn't make the rules though.

Add me to the Estranged column. Mr. Brownstone is a very close second.

GnR PAK?????

Meh. Would be more if they played Civil War.

Also, can't believe "Get in the Ring" hasn't even been mentioned here yet. Turn your filter off, people, and prepare to

Listen. I understand the desire to want to ignore appetite completely and go with some more trendy unknown song. I truly do. But the simple fact of the matter is that paradise city is the best Rocknroll song ever made and thus the best gnr song ever. Sorry fellas. Go be to cool for school on someone else's dime.

the last 60 seconds will probably be how computer-beings define rocknroll

I am a fan of Mr. Brownstone, but NOTHING beats a spring day when you're driving with the windows down and Paradise City comes on the radio.

Holy crap. Just watched the video for Estranged. I hadn't seen it, and somehow hadn't heard the song for years. It is a very, very good song, especially the creamy/dreamy opening guitar riff from Slash. The guy is just the tops. But best Gn'R song? Not by a longshot, my friends. Can see why people go totally apeshit for it, though. Here are just a few of the amazing things about video.

Tire swing at the beginning, swinging freely with no kids around as seagulls chirp?=

Dinosaur shadow?!?=

Axl in UCLA jersey=

(but wish it was khatz)

Axl then in Charles Manson shirt=

Axl napping on the couch in Charles Manson shirt, shorts, and Cons hightops?=

Slash looking like a lady after getting out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his head?=

Definitions of estranged midway through?=

CGI dolphin swimming out of plane?!?!?!?=

Axl jumping off battleship and then refusing all rescue assistance!!!!!!!?=

Axl purposely drowning himself and/or just hanging out underwater to swim with adorable dolphins?=

THEN SLASH EMERGES FROM THE WATER AMIDST TORRENTIAL WIND AND RAIN TO PLAY A BLISTERING SOLO WHILE LEVITATING ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER?!?!?!?!?=

A single "Axl" shoe floating to the bottom of the ocean dramatically?=

Animatronic dolphin thingy clucking during the fadeout while Axl tries to stifle a smile?=

<-----but a dolphin

so I'm kind of a GNR n00b so I was all, "hmm, I've never even heard of this estranged song, I'll check it out" and then I did and i was all, "are you rough ridin' serious? that long of a garbage leadup for that? I mean, GNR is known for their long, long, long, leadups but OMG that was a long lead up for a crap payoff. not worth it" that was what I said. ok. my vote is civil war.

Yes, November Rain is a much better example of what Estranged should be. But sd did you watch the video??? It doesn't get any better than that.

the video was the worst. tons of dolphins and wanting to be a dolphin. I was embarrassed for axl.

Also, let's be honest, Axl's high point was owning tom petty omg

wish there was good audio/video of this

sometimes I imitate the axl with the mic stand dance and look like a fool but in my mind I look like axl, you know?

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #43 on:** April 16, 2011, 12:28:19 AM »

omg, axl singing free fallin' is a weird mix. lol at , btw. Those two together is an even weirder mix than what I found out about the other night....

.....

....

you guys ready for this?

Guess what special guest sung background on "Don't Cry." Guess.

Shannon Hoon, former (now deceased) lead singer of BLIND MELON. I mean, WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? Blind Melon and Gn'R together in one song?!?!?!? So weird. And then I just can't believe I never noticed them sharing a microphone in the video right

Have been
