I understand Axl was into Nine Inch Nails at the time Use Your Illusion was released. He certainly must have heard some other Industrial Rock like Ministry, so this track while surprising is sadly their only foray into Elektro-Industrial.
It's a shame Axl didn't follow up. This was/is damn good, if too short, and I'll bet it was the inspiration for Bjorks "Army of Me" bass line.
wow. what the fuck am i listening to? sounds like axl didn't take his medicine for about 2 weeks or something. can't believe this was actually released
Fuckin GREAT SONG!!! Axl made it by himself, with the contribution of his sound engineer. That time they were on the road with Nine Inch Nails, which, of course, influenced him...
"My World happened when we were sitting around being a bit bored. We had been working on "Live and Let Die" all night and it was early morning. I’d been listening to a lot of industrial music and all of a sudden I said, 'Hey man, let's do something. Let's see what happens. Let's just make it short and sweet and see what we come up with.' In three hours we wrote and recorded the song."
@SieppoHovi "I'll expose a little more of myself - we were also on 'shrooms. A friend of mine had stuck some mushrooms in my tea and I didn't know it. All of a sudden we were being really mellow. So it was kind of a socio-psychotic state of bliss. There was a certain focus we all wanted to keep for Illusion l and II, but when l did My World everyone dug it and wanted it on the record."
@SieppoHovi Very interesting! Great reply, but let me ask you : "Nope what?" lol. You said exactly the same thing I did : "listened to a lot of INDUSTRIAL (NIN)...and who made the song with him? Slash? I guess not... well, thanks anyway for the reply...you enjoyed the song or what? ! Cheers!
I honestly believe this song is awesome. Such a good look at how fucked up the mind can get in this confusing and retarded world (= I will always love this song!
Why is there sooo much dislikes? I support GNR no matter what. I stay beside Axl Rose. I still miss the old band, either way, I think this album is great!
Lol people I hope you know all the "WTF IS THIS!?" "OMG THIS ISNT GNR" "HOW COULD THEY END THE ALBUM LIKE THIS!?" comments are EXACTLY what Axl was going for with this song.
Think about it, it would have been too easy to end the album with another great Rock song. The only way to end this album in a really cool way would be something completely off the wall. Not sure why it workso so well but it does.
Glad the second highest rated comment says it is the perfect album, atleast some get this!
I agree this is the worst Guns song ever and the 2nd worst song in Guns history has to go to that Charles Manson song "Look At Your Game Girl" on the Spaghetti Incident.
@noizyme I think it was a good idea but I didn't talk to Axl about that;) It's something different than Guns, agree, but it's BOLD, SEXY and UNPREDICTABLE - and that's what I love GN'R for:*
@WwDky This song may be bad, but nothings worse than Justin Beiber. I'd rather listen to christmas chipmunk music than that shit. I love GNR, thing song isn't that good. I dont give a hot fuck everything else was.
Guys. It's experimental! The Beatles did the same thing in the White Album with Revolution 9! Nobody said that ruined the album and it's WORSE! At least this has a beat and a key and stuff. So enough with the hate
i just realized something... at the end axl says "guess what im doing now"...this is an industrial/techno/rock/rap song...i think he ended the UYI album showing what direction he wants to head in...and that it what has been said in like 1994-96ish when gnr was saying what direction they were trying with axl which is kinda like this song
Axl considers this his Revolution 9 maybe?..........anyway, this song seemed like more of an omen of where the band was going. After Spaghetti Incident came that single Oh My God and then Chinese Democracy. Yep. My World makes sense now, that was Axl's experiment for the future, he had a vision and it came true and will continue to come true if there actually are two more albums in the supposed Chinese Democracy Trilogy.
axl snuck this song onto the album without the knowledge of most of the rest of the band... it certainly indicates the industrial music direction he wanted to go in that tore the band apart... not that it needed much tearing to come apart.
well its at end of the album so it dont really ruin it now does it!!! great album great band does it really matter that there is 1 song thats not a chat toppin 1?! axl is fantastic even if he sang puff the magic fookin dragon he would still rock it! :)
Okay im one of the biggest 16 year old GNR fans, and I know so many people hate this. But actually look at the lyrics, I mean putting a little thought behind it the song isnt too damn bad.
@garagerockiz It isn't supposed to be serious, it's just the band having some fun. Plus this song is better than anything MTV or the music industry in general has produced for quite a while.
ur right... about most of it. The new band members sound like shit, and axl ruined gnr. but GN'R isnt Slash Izzy and Duff. Its Slash, Axl, Duff, Izzy, and Steven (or matt, but I prefer steven personally.)
