I don't know enough Guns N Roses stuff to vote fairly but I've got this cute little picture of Slash

Willets Point Feb 24 2006 11:06 AM

Not much I can vote for on GnR's list, just not a big fan, but sadly its missing "Civil War."

"Sweet Child O' Mine "vs."Little Red Corvette "Prince "November Rain "vs."Raspberry Beret " Prince "Paradise City "vs."U Got the Look " Guns "Welcome to the Jungle "vs."I Would Die 4 U " I like "I Would Die 4 U" better but can't award zero points to "Jungle" so I call this a Tie "You Could Be Mine "vs."1999" Prince "Don't Cry (original lyrics) "vs."Sign 'O' The Times " Prince "Nighttrain "vs."Lets Go Crazy " Prince "Mr. Brownstone "vs."Kiss " Prince "Patience "vs."Erotic City " Prince "Estranged"vs."When Doves Cry " Sad, slow songs about strained relationships.

GnR should have Rocket Queen.

Elster88 Feb 24 2006 02:20 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Feb 27 2006 10:05 AM

Rocket Queen was an alternate. All that (deserved) heat for not posting songs and no one's voting.

Centerfield Feb 24 2006 02:25 PM

Ok, I'll give this a try. "Sweet Child O' Mine "vs."Little Red Corvette " GNR "November Rain "vs."Raspberry Beret " GNR "Paradise City "vs."U Got the Look " GNR "Welcome to the Jungle "vs."I Would Die 4 U " GNR "You Could Be Mine "vs."1999" Prince "Don't Cry (original lyrics) "vs."Sign 'O' The Times " Prince "Nighttrain "vs."Lets Go Crazy " Prince "Mr. Brownstone "vs."Kiss " Prince "Patience "vs."Erotic City " Prince "Estranged"vs."When Doves Cry " GNR GNR: 5 Prince: 5 Rocket Queen and Purple Rain are said to be incensed they didn't get in the game. Both have demanded to be traded.

Frayed Knot Feb 24 2006 02:38 PM

"Sweet Child O' Mine" vs. "Little Red Corvette" GnR Red Corvette would win a lot of battles but not this one "November Rain" vs. "Raspberry Beret" Prince - Beret's always been one of my faves "Paradise City" vs. "U Got the Look" GnR "Welcome to the Jungle" vs. "I Would Die 4 U" GnR "You Could Be Mine" vs. "1999" Prince "Don't Cry (original lyrics)" vs. "Sign 'O' The Times" Prince "Nighttrain " vs. "Lets Go Crazy" Prince "Mr. Brownstone " vs. "Kiss" Pass (tie) I probably know those songs but I can't think of either "Patience " vs. "Erotic City" GnR "Estranged" vs. "When Doves Cry" Prince Prince wins by a narrow 5.5 - 4.5 margin

"Sweet Child O' Mine " vs. "Little Red Corvette " --A song that made me give metal a listen vs. a song that made me give dance music a listen. Wow. Slight edge to Prince. "November Rain " vs. "Raspberry Beret " --Like em both the same. Tie. "Paradise City " vs. "U Got the Look " --Prince. I never thought Paradise City was a very nice place to visit. "Welcome to the Jungle " vs. "I Would Die 4 U " --Guns. A blazin' "You Could Be Mine " vs. "1999" --Guns. Like this one a lot. "Don't Cry (original lyrics) " vs. "Sign 'O' The Times " --Guns. "Nighttrain " vs. "Lets Go Crazy " --Prince. Too much fun. "Mr. Brownstone " vs. "Kiss " --Chicks dig it. Prince. "Patience " vs. "Erotic City " --That they were capable of quietly powerful stuff like this actually makes me sad they broke up. Guns. "Estranged" vs. "When Doves Cry " --Dig, if you will, Prince. Great matchup. Prince 5.5, Guns 4.5

Willets Point Feb 24 2006 04:21 PM

Shoulda matched Erotic City against Paradise City. Duh.

Centerfield Feb 24 2006 04:31 PM

The funny part is Dickshot's explanation makes perfect sense to me. I can hear them both in my head.

HahnSolo Feb 25 2006 01:38 PM

"Sweet Child O' Mine "vs."Little Red Corvette " GNR (close) "November Rain "vs."Raspberry Beret " GNR "Paradise City "vs."U Got the Look " GNR "Welcome to the Jungle "vs."I Would Die 4 U " GNR "You Could Be Mine "vs."1999" Prince "Don't Cry (original lyrics) "vs."Sign 'O' The Times " GNR "Nighttrain "vs."Lets Go Crazy " Prince "Mr. Brownstone "vs."Kiss " GNR (some Prince songs I can't stomach; this is one of them) "Patience "vs."Erotic City " Prince "Estranged"vs."When Doves Cry " GNR So it's 7-3 in favor of GNR.

Edgy DC Feb 25 2006 01:56 PM

Sweet Child O' Mine" vs."Little Red Corvette " Guns 'n' Roses "November Rain" vs."Raspberry Beret " =purple]Prince and the Revolution, stoopit little pop song knocks off a bombastic super-arranged anthem. "Paradise City" vs."U Got the Look " GNR =purple]Prince and the Revolution, which I dislike less. "Welcome to the Jungle" vs."I Would Die 4 U " Guns 'n' Roses, pretty close, though "You Could Be Mine" vs."1999" =purple]Prince and the Revolution Axl just sounds too much like an annoying mewling kitty cat on this one. "Don't Cry (original lyrics)" vs."Sign 'O' The Times " Guns 'n' Roses, pretty close, though "Nighttrain" vs."Lets Go Crazy " =purple]Prince and the Revolution "Mr. Brownstone" vs."Kiss " =purple]Prince and the Revolution There are some Prince songs that can be covered by anybody and be a lot of fun. This is one of them. "Patience" vs."Erotic City " Guns 'n' Roses I'm gay, I know. I'm a sucker for a counter-melody. "Estranged" vs."When Doves Cry " This is what it sounds like when songs tie. =purple]Prince and the Revolution, 5.5-4.5

Rockin' Doc Feb 26 2006 10:21 PM

"Sweet Child O' Mine " vs. "Little Red Corvette " GNR - I like "Little Red Corvette", but Slash's guitar give the edge to GNR. "November Rain " vs. "Raspberry Beret " GNR - A close one, but I always liked "November Rain" "Paradise City " vs. "U Got the Look " GNR - Never cared much for "U Got the Look", though Sheena Easton was pretty hot in the video. "Welcome to the Jungle " vs. "I Would Die 4 U " GNR - Prince dies in this jungle. "You Could Be Mine " vs. "1999" =violet]Prince - I like both, but in a close call, I'll give the edge to "1999". "Don't Cry (original lyrics) " vs. "Sign 'O' The Times " GNR - There's very little middle ground when it comes to Prince's music. I either like it or I hate it. "Nighttrain " vs. "Lets Go Crazy " =violet]Prince - This Prince song I like. "Mr. Brownstone " vs. "Kiss " =violet]Prince - One of Prince's best. "Patience " vs. "Erotic City " GNR - Nice ballad from GNR. "Estranged" vs. "When Doves Cry " =violet]Prince GNR starts out strong, then hangs on for a victory. Personally, I would have liked to see "Civil War" on GNR's list. Still, the victory goes to GNR by a tally of 6 to 4.

Elster88 Feb 27 2006 08:49 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Feb 27 2006 10:00 AM

Requests for Rocket Queen and Civil War. Both were on the list of alternates. Some fine-tuning will probably be necessary for the next battle. Nighttrain is taking a beating so far. __________________ This post had the designation 60) Gregg Jefferies

Jefferies is spelled incorrectly in my posting designation.

Willets Point Feb 27 2006 02:22 PM

Looks like Guns & Roses have their first victory and his Purple Highness will not be making anymore upward challenges. "Sweet Child O' Mine” 8,."Little Red Corvette " 3 "November Rain " 7.5, "Raspberry Beret " 3.5 "Paradise City "9."U Got the Look " 2 "Welcome to the Jungle " 9.5 "I Would Die 4 U 1.5 " "You Could Be Mine " 3,"1999" 8 "Don't Cry (original lyrics) "8,"Sign 'O' The Times " 3 "Nighttrain "0,"Lets Go Crazy " 11 (WOW, I was surprised how poorly this song did against the Heartbreakers, glad I stuck with it) "Mr. Brownstone "4.5, "Kiss " 6.5 "Patience "8,"Erotic City " 3 "Estranged"5,"When Doves Cry " 6 Total: Guns & Roses 62.5, Prince and the Revolution 50.5

Elster88 Feb 27 2006 04:17 PM

BTW, Edgy, the preferred spelling is Guns N' Roses.

Edgy DC Feb 27 2006 04:19 PM

They won anyhoo.

Elster88 Feb 27 2006 04:20 PM

Yup. I'm just being a pain. Posterity in thread titles and all that. Oh and Jefferies is misspelled in the posting designations. Not sure if you caught that when I mentioned it.

Edgy DC Feb 27 2006 04:21 PM

Yeah, I caught that. That error is at least 18 months old. We'll get it on the upgrade, which LF, Yancy, and I have to get together on. I"ll be out all week, though.
