Guns 'n Roses: Coma- Is it their best song?

RMR · 11-04-2011, 08:47 AM

I liked both the Illusions when they came out, but I have not listened to either for several years; however, I continued to listen to Appetite from time to time.
I was listening to "Coma" yesterday from "Use Your Illusion I," and I had forgotten how epic it is, and I think it might be their best track.

So, is "Coma" GNR's best song? If not, what is?

Don't Cry

Coma is a favorite. They have so many great songs in so many styles that it's hard to say a definitive "best". Coma, Estranged, Brownstone... so many. I wish I could remember where it is (and I'm sure I could Google it but I'm lazy) but someone reviewed and ranked every song on the Illusion albums recently... its a great read for a fan.

They have way too many AAA songs to really have a best song. They have more like 15 best songs.

I like "Coma" but it's not my favorite. Not sure what my favorite is really, they have a lot of great songs. Some of my personal favorites would be "Don't Cry", "Rocket Queen", "Pretty Tied Up", "I Think About You" and "14 Years".

i like "November Rain" a lot, especially in the music video, with that helicopter shot of Slash's guitar solo

That must be one of the most emotional guitar solos in history. It's just so mournful.
The trouble is that you've got to wade through five minutes of "rain/pain" rhymes, pompous choral arrangements and pretentious string sections. It's still one of the best rock songs in history!
