Please note, the soon to be angry at me Guns N Roses fans, I am a Guns N Roses fan, but I hate this particular OS, and I'm just poking a little fun at the band for things that they deserve to be poked fun at for. . .I don't hate them. . .but I won't bite my tongue either--it's parody, it's all in good fun. . check below parody for links to the Wikipedia page, the inclusion of St. Louis, Freddy Mercury, Kiss, Iron Maiden, One in a Million and homophobia were not random--and were inspired by real life incidents, the lines are note without meaning. . .

I'm lost in this confusion
As I speak fast through this tune
You'll soon have a conclusion
In this song we sound like loons
You're gonna have a head-ache
If you do not soon cease
All of this lyrical crap
That makes no sense as you'll see
Yes we will hash out a bash
Trash religion to a beat
Well we may have a good flow
Thinkin' big words are so neat
Can't understand our grunts
Though you have heard this song a bunch
They say there's no such thing as Zion
I had a caffeine pill for lunch
Rhyme the word off with off
It's a breath for which I yearn
We'll express our frustration
'bout what ya can't discern
This fire is burnin'
What's that line about bro?
It's okay no one will notice until we're old
Damn that was a nice stall
Think my voice is now dead
I'll quote somethin' 'bout dancing Use half rhymes like edge
We cannot be silenced
Through this whole flippin' song
And it's good that I'm not baggin' groc'ries
Because I love to shout
'Cause rock's how I get paid
I'm tryin' to be poetic
'Bout how the church betrayed
Now we are speeding while speaking
Though sometimes it sounds more like we're shrieking
One more time we will be repeating
Because the next verse I am still tweaking
Welcome to the Jungle gave us lots of cash flow
and then it's Paradise City
We were on a roll
This was flat
Off the shelves our albums flew
Though Axl's patience had worn thin
Idolized Freddy Mercury
But Fred would never rhyme in with in
Ax's not homophobic
Wait did I hear something wrong?
That song "One In a Million"
Check again-ah-nope
You must've wrote that when you stayed up long
All the lyrics are still speeding
When we're done Advil we will be needing
We've rocked with Iron Maiden, ears bleeding!
But St. Louis you best not be reading. . .
Most organized rock legends make
An album once one gets old
We like to make fans wait for us
'til our cash is low
The speed we are speaking is a way to safe guard
That this song is just a filler tune Meant to make our album whole
At fans I'm jumping when I'm losin' control
and then my microphone I'll drop
This game gets old
When you hear "Garden of Eden"
(I'm not trash talkin' to make Axl hate me-no I'm just pokin' fun you hear)
Said we're almost done acting like heathens
and it's all just a part of the rock biz
Now I know that some fans will be seething
This fire is burnin', damn that line is so old
If it's still burning you can stop then drop and roll
As I speak fast through this tune
You'll soon have a conclusion
In this song we sound like loons
You're gonna have a head-ache
If you do not soon cease

I don't really agree with your viewpoints on Guns N Roses, I personally like them but I can tell that a lot of work went into this parody and I have to at least give you props for that (Haha.... My security code is "GUN")
Funny song, Dave!!
Matty--I suggest reading the intro--these aren't 'viewpoints' Matt, they are facts--viewpoints are opinions--these aren't
Mark-Thanks man!
Mark-Thanks man!
You can still have your viewpoints through the facts... It's not like you're mentioning the good parts about Guns N Roses just the bad things to make them seem like douchebags. Kinda like what Fox News does...
Matty--again the intro says my opinion of Guns N Roses, if I were to make a new story--like Fox News--then I'd post both sides of a story--this isn't a news story, it's a comedy--how funny would it be if I was posting it like a news story? That wouldn't get my point across that this song is about retarded now would it? Again--comparing a journalistic responsibility to a parody is like comparing apples to Sour Gummi Worms that have been digested and sitting in the digestive track.
**news (not new)
Good one, Dave. This is way better than the new GNR album, for sure. 5-5-5
Thanks MrMacphisto! I agree
(Artistry) Amazing work here Dave, one of your best. All the research paid off.
This was priceless...a lot of hard work indeed! You poked fun at the band without doing anything too obvious or anything hackneyed, nor was it too mean...and all on a obscure track that runs about 100 mph (one minor pace trip that i won't even bother rehashing). That is a flipping achievement all around. I LOL'd. 5pts to you on Artistry.
(Artistry) Shock, horror! Parody that pokes fun at an artist that doesn't have a thousand angry fans blatantly disregarding the 'this isn't what I really think' statemnet and voting ones and leaving inane comments! Ahem...brilliant job here, Dave. I don't know a lot about GNR to really appreciate this one, but I'll vote 555 anyways.
This is one of GNRs' lesser songs for sure, only one of a handful from UYI 1&2. Funny as hell, it's what I would have expected Weird Al to do had he not done "Smells Like Nirvana". I didn't get the "One in a Million " dig, even though I have "Lies" - myabe it's time to break that out again. Funny work Dave, and as the half-retired song satire expert here, this is one that I would love to have under my name. 555
