6 minutes of over processed Axl vocals is too much..This Ghostpoet track doesn't do much, but it's enough..Vote B

the Ghost of George Michael came to me while I was on the portable toilet. He rattled his chains and wailed at me to listen without prejudice. I tried, I swear to God I did.
B sorry, I don't like the "best" GnR so that thing has gotta go. I'm cool with B. Lots o' hip hop is pretty close to electronica in a lot of ways. beats the hell out of GnR with strings. oof.

4 minutes too long vs. 1 minute too long.
I wish B had a little bit more happening in it (just like I wish A had a little less), but it's a whole hell of a lot less full of itself.

I put aside any thoughts I had about GnR when I first listened to this track. It’s a world away from the Stones wannabes from 30 years ago. There’s some real sophistication there, which I found compelling.
Hip hop stuff is just not in my wheelhouse. I wish it was sometimes, because I’d find today’s youth culture easier to get along with. This track isn’t bad, but I relate to Axl more.

I think you've said this before but this time you're right. nobody choosing piss-taking shit like A deserves even the time needed to make a choice. B is better but still below the 'consideration line' ABSTAIN

It comes to something when the beats on a Guns N'Roses track are better than those on a hip hop record. Ghostpoet could've done with waking up before recording his rap. The Gn'R track is as terrible as expected but somehow less annoying than the hipster hip hop of B. Worst tie of the competition? Well it's an achievement of sorts I guess.

Whew.
I wish I hadn't been able to read the lyrics for that GnR song, 'cause they are absolutely atrocious.
Still, it beats mumbly British hip-hop.

I can't believe I have lost so many matches and one of these can win one.

Worst match of the entire cup. There's no way I can vote for something with Axl Rose mewling over it, even if he's more restrained than he usually is and B is horrible. For the first time, Abstain.

I think you've been really unlucky with the draw. You don't deserve to be where you are. I agree. Thanks to both. Although Ray, I will neither forget nor forgive your abuse to my SUBLIME David Ruffin pick. I know it has to do with your pathological reject to 70s soul, but still...
