Good album. A classic. I do nned it to complete the collection of album from this rock band that passionate me a lot
Musically, anyway, I love Guns n’ Roses. They were the first band I every got into off my own back as a kid. I used to listen to their stuff endlessly. I say I love Guns n’ Roses musically, I’m not so keen on some of their career choices. And let’s face it, most of those choices were driven by the ego and pigheadedness of Mr W. Axl Rose. The controversy surrounding GN’R Lies goes before the music. Well, the controversy regarding one song, at least. Let’s talk about the music of the eight songs first. The first four is an early live recording and the last four are acoustic numbers. The live recordings are super-tight and clearly show the punk-metal brilliance that was to follow on Appetite for Destruction a year later without, perhaps, some of the charm of the Appetite songs. The acoustic numbers show a side of Guns that a lot of people won’t know of, particularly the utterly brilliant – and stand out song from the mini-album – ‘Patience’. So, inevitably the last song, ‘One in a Million’, has to sadly be mentioned. Musically it’s really good. Lyrically it’s a disgrace. No matter how in latter years Axl has tried to style out his use of racist and homophobic language as an artistic stand-point, there is no excuse for it. It was a stupid, stupid thing to do. It’s a shame, because of ‘One in a Million’ GN’R Lies has been put in the dumper of records of notoriety, when really it should be up there. Because of ‘One in a Million’ I can never really enjoy this record.Read full review
