Re: This I Love
The solo just stutters to an end, its like he ran out of ideas and didnt know how to wrap it up. I cant get into it, I find it utterly uninspiring. I dont mind the cheesy lyrics and I like the emotion of the guitarless mix, it seems more heartfelt and the songs flows so much better.
Re: This I Love
I think that the song is good, but it's not one of my favorites.
I also have a hard time listening to it nowadays.
Maybe it has something to do with the state of mind I was in when I first listened to it.
I don't know but I've had a tough time with it ever since, though.
Re: This I Love
I never understood the hangup on Prostitute. I guess it was because it was described wrong. People were expecting a rocker like Nightrain, and they got another ballad.
I thought Prostitute was the great fire & ice song, as soon as I heard it. That outro is still heavenly.
Sorry was the one I was a bit miffed at. Great song, but I was expecting Coma or at least "doom metal" like Baz described, and all I found out was that Baz is the idiot he's reputed to be. There's nothing metal about Sorry.
Re: This I Love
Prostitute is actually one of my favorites...
It's quite the opposite there to be honest. I didn't like it when I first heard it but it just grew bigger and bigger until I loved it.
I remember listening to the original leak last year (I didn't even know that it was If The World and Prostitute the first time I heard them since I just grabbed them without reading as soon as I saw that there was "new leaks") and the outro gave me chills up my friggin' spine.
Fucking beautiful.
I tried HARD not to listen to them beforehand, though.

Re: This I Love
I haven't listened to CD in a long time and I had a listen yesterday, and This I Love really stood out this time. I think I dig it a lot more than I did originally.
Hell, I even like the solo now, and I've been humming the melody in my head since then!
I still love the line "I've searched the universe and found myself within her eyes"
If that line didn't get Axl laid, then there's no hope for him! haha

Re: This I Love
After hearing the other versions, I am certain in my opinion of Robins solo. It was made up on the spot, or it sounds like it, and it goes nowhere, and ends nowhere. He`s just copying a sound, a sound that people expect to hear on a "gnr" ballad of this kind. Its full of repetative crap, and not in the slightest the Estranged buster it should be..
He (and Axl) had long enough to work on it, yet he came up with cheesy lyrics that all rhyme with "eye" and a thrown together solo that people like when they forget they`ve heard better.
