USE YOUR ILLUSION II
BY:- GUNS 'N' ROSES
SIDE A
CIVIL WAR 7.36
--------------
!This song is dead good. It is all
about the surprising subject of$P.M.T. That's a rather pathetic joke
really. It's about civil war$actually. (Really? I never wold have!guessed... -P.V.F.C.) It sets you#leaping all over the room, singing,"pretending to play the guitar, and#generally making a fool of yorself.

14 YEARS 4.17
-------------
Incidently, I like this song. It%speaks of "fourteen years of silence,$fourteen years of pain." and is very#special to me. (why didn't you give%it a higher mark then? -P.V.F.C.) The%word are good, the tune is great, and it really is a pretty good song.%

YESTERDAYS 3.13
---------------
"This song, released as a single in#1992 is a bit of a downer. Where it%quotes "yesterday mean nothing to me"$it is the in the way that the lyrics!are a load of stuff I don't agree"with. (Are you sure you were awake!when you wrote this? -P.V.F.C.) I"value the past. If this was purely
juged on music I'd give it a%resounding 80%, but its lyrics let it
down. It's O.K. though.%

KNOCKIN' ON HEAVENS DOOR 5.36
-----------------------------
This is real class (probably#explained by the fact that Guns 'n' Roses didn't write it. Bob Dylan"did). This version does justice to
the late Bobby D, and it is a
thorougly good song.

$GET IN THE RING (I can't be bothered
to put the times in)%-------------------------------------
--------------------
$This is an excellent song, marred by%its lyrics. (at least I think it says$marred, Y.L.H.G.A.H.O.M.M.'s writing!obviously isn't very good late at#night, which is when he wrote this."P.V.F.C.) It's all about the media#spreading lies about the group, and#it has a strong message, emphasised%by some very strong language. Its got#a good bead though, and a real good
song to be angry with.

SHOTGUN BLUES
-------------
$No good really. Bit crap. No message
in lyrics, only Ok tune, a
dissapontment.%

BREAKDOWN ---------
$This song is special to me. It has a#real message (I've just realised, I$havent been stupid for a while), And!chickens are horny as pipple! OOh%Vanessa! Scrunch! (Thanks. -P.V.F.C.)
This song is good. Nuff said.

SIDE B
------
PRETTY TIED UP
--------------
#This is really rather great. It's a%great start to side B, getting you up#and moshing (ect.) very early. It's%got some great lyrics which remind me#of a certain Laura Boagey. (is that!the Laura you were refering to in$your introduction? -P.V.F.C.) I like
it a lot really.

LOCOMOTIVE
----------
%The backing tune/beat of this song is$great, but the lyrics and tune are a%little weaker. Its got some nice bits
in (like a turkeys bottom at
cristmas) (are you on drugs?%-P.V.F.C.) and it's fairly ok really,
but nought special

SO FINE
-------
This song, like the title, is so%fine. It has a strong message talking#about rejection and is very special#to me. The slower pace of this song#provides a different type than many others on this tape. But this is
excellent stuff.

ESTRANGED ---------
$This 9.5 minute long Rock/Metal epic
is great. The chilling guitar"melodies played by Slash make make$the song seem so good. Coh Bibble. I"love this song. It's special to me also as it describes me to a tee
I love this song. I really do.

YOU COULD BE MINE
-----------------
%A bit heavy after the last two songs,#but a good heavy, dance around type song. The lyrics are a bit crap.%Something about bitchiness and stuff.
Not very meaningful at all.

DON'T CRY (alternative lyrics)
------------------------------
"The best song on the tape. The new"lyrics make the original song even more excellent. This is a song I$really, really belive in. Especially$"Andwhen you're in need of somebody,$my heart wont deny you, so many seem$so lonely with no one left to cry to baby." Excellent song. I love it$almost as much as November Rain (the
best song ever)

"This song is a wierd sample of two%people having sex. It's very strange.
I usually fast forward it.

Average percentage 80%
$This is excellent. Take off all your%clothes and rub your body against the"nearest post box. (I'd rather not.
-P.V.F.C.)
"This is better than "Our lord that
art in Heaven 'Vanessa -Pipple-$Paradis" by far in my opinion But of%course others may disagree It depends
