Guns N' Roses are quite possibly the masters of this trope.


Appetite for Destruction

G N'R Lies

  • While the live part was somewhat forgettable, their cover of "Mama Kin" is somewhat notable.
  • "Patience". A pretty good love song, and a great ballad.
  • "Used To Love Her". It's a song about a guy who killed his girlfriend because she complained all the time.
    I used to love her
    But I had to kill her
    I had to put her six feet under
    And I could still hear her complain
  • "You're Crazy". It was originally on Appetite, but this version was how it was originally intended.

Use Your Illusion I and II

  • "November Rain". One might think that Guns n' Roses, of all bands, doing a nine-minute-long Power Ballad about a relationship dissolving in tragedy would be, at best, So Bad, It's Good and an absolute monument to the band's self-indulgence; while it is most definitely the latter, the former assumption is dead wrong. Instead, it's a weapons-grade Tear Jerker that ends with one of the greatest guitar solos ever performed.
  • "You Could Be Mine", which was prominently featured in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
  • For being a Protest Song, "Civil War" manages to combine depressing and awesome into one, absolutely metal package.
