Rate This Song Mr. Brownstone is the best song on GnR's 1987 masterpiece Appetite For Destruction

Brownstone is great, that whole album is all killer even after commercialization and hearing the same songs a million times it’s still great. Wild how many use your illusion tracks were written right after appetite or at the same time screwing around. Illusion 1-2 is probably my favorite gnr albums.

I also like finding solos I’ve never heard before.
 
That’s one of my favorite songs on the album. I almost never skip it when it comes on. The other I really love from that album is It’s So Easy.

Those two songs alone are with buying the album. Until you hear Anything Goes, and then the album’s stock drops quite a bit.

But Appetite is one of the best albums of all time. I used to love it so much that I played it out and can’t even listen to most of it anymore because I’m so tired of it.
 
The album that changed everything for me. I heard Paradise City when I was about 8 years old and it blew my mind like probably nothing ever will music wise. I've been a music fan ever since. And yes, Mr.Brownstone is a great rock song.
 
Absolutely head melting, legendary piece of music. Just relistened to the whole album .

Anybody old enough to remember the impact this album had....chime in. From late 80's through the entirety of the 90's, this album was a benchmark of fucking awesome.

Three iconic songs are always remembered and replayed; Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child of Mine. Obviously these are legendary for a reason and I love them all.

But for me, the best song on this album is the generally underrated



I get up around seven
Get out of bed around nine
I don't worry about nothing, no
Because worry's a waste of my time

Show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine

We've been dancing with
Mister Brownstone
He's been knocking
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more
"I just keep tryna get a little better", said a little better than before
I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more

We've been dancing with
Mister Brownstone
He's been knocking
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone

Now, I get up around whenever
I used to get up on time
But that old man, he's a real motherfucker
Gonna kick him on down the line

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more
"I just keep tryna get a little better", said a little better than before

He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone

Oh, leave me alone

Stuck it in the middle and I shot it in the middle and it
It drove outta my mind
"I should've known better", said I wish I never met her
Said I leave it all behind
Yowsa!



Pretty clear what this track is about!

The best song on ACDCs Back In Black album. Fight me irl.


Best song on Metallica's Black album! Fight your father irl.

🤘🤘🤘🤘

Rocket Queen is the best song on that album for me
 
Had it on cassette in 1987 (have it on vinyl now)

My favorite songs on there are Rocket Queen and Night train.

It's hard for me to pick any of the singles cause they were so over played.
The two best songs on the album I agree
