    Finally thought of one. -November Rain by GunsnRoses. Corny as crap. The video is pure Spinal Tap fodder and the sentiment is about as sincere as a 2nd hand car salemans handshake. But for all that it's a great tune, beautifully orchestrated and recorded.

    Ah Axl -you're some langball

    This is one of the best threads I've read in awhile. Kept me chuckling for ages. As for my own tastes I've always like those Independent Women of Destinys Child and all that girl power malarky!!

    My Review of Westlife

    Right so I went to Westlife with my girlfriend unsure about what I was getting into

    Firstly the warm up acts....oh dear dear they were shocking. Final4 (bad attempt at Westlife) were shocking, Idle Eyes (poor mans NSync) were worse, Carrol Anthony wasnt even good to look at and Zoo (the "bad boys") were pish.

    Which lead up to Westlife...firstly they entered they walked through the crowd slowly, twas a great way to start.

    Their first set was some of the usual Westlife songs which were very good but not fantastic. In between their band (who were fantastic) played a few great tunes. Their second set was the best part of it, they sang everything and anything from the Beatles to the Jackson 5! After that came their Rat Pack set which wasnt great TBH.

    Their final set and encore was very good, they did their biggest Westlife hits like Flying without Wings and World of Our Own.

    The lads are great showmen and really seemed to be enjoying the gig. The crowd was made up of all types, there were a fair few people there with various special needs who were treated really well by the lads (they do a fair bit of charity work too Im told), they took time to shake hands with these people on their way in, put some of them on the big screnn whcih made one lad's day, never so anyone so happy!! He got a hugh clap from the crowd and the lads dedicated a song to them.

    Overall a well worth visit to Millstreet, pity there is no decent venue in Cork City for big gigs
    Oh no not them again

    That's all a bit harsh coming from a guy with Lionel Ritchie as a handle!
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    I suppose it depends on what you mean by "loving prince"
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    yeah ...but it's a bit poncy isn't it? It's the type of song poodle perm muppets like Bon Jovi wish they could've written.

    and the video is just plain silly. Slash walks out of giant cathedral (note members of Kilkenny ponce rockers My Little Funhouse in the back row) and emerges outside a wooden chapel that's smaller than my toolshed which is on the edge of a cliff and has no road leading to it. Maybe they were trying to do a "twin peaks" or Willy Wonka but it just looks daft.

    Also -Lots of people standing a round a grave at the end of the funeral -shot cuts to Axl kneeling down but now it's pitch dark while it'd been broad daylight a second ago. Ed Wood himself would've blushed at it. Spinal Tap would've given out about it but would've eventually been talked 'round.
    GNR? I doubt they even noticed.

    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    Not at all, sure the video is a bit over the top (but to be fair they had a massive budget to blow on it, and there werent the special effects there are for videos now) but there is nothing wrong with the song its pure quality, era defining stuff... and what about the guitar at the end ?!?!? Unbelievable, it was what the 80s* were made of...great stuff.

    *even if it was a year or two later.
