This song used to scare the shit out of me.. I remember being woke up to it blaring out the stereo
I think My World would of been better had it been a hidden track. It would of been mysterious. After Don't Cry (alt lyrics) a few moments of silence and this song out of nowhere. I don't take this song seriously, how could you being that it was only 90 seconds?
Thank you
Travis Steele I enjoy it, but I agree with every word
*have
I agree
Would have or would've. "Would of" is not a thing.
I feel like Izzy and Duff and slash didn’t even know about ‘My World.’
I unashamedly loved it. My best friend always wanted to turn the cassette over right after Don't Cry, but no no!
Cassette Tape Flippin'...
Those Were TheDays!
"... With a misfired synapse and a bent configuration, I hold the line while you gasp for BREATH... You wanna talk to me?..."
Don't understand your sex
You ain't been mind fucked yet
Let's do it
Oh, my distorted smile🙃
This was a period when Axl contemplated a Rap career! 🤣🤣
I wonder what would've happened to GNR had Axl discovered Throbbing Gristle, rather than NIN.
At first, I was like "WTF?!" But over the years, I've come to appreciate it in a sense.
haha yeah, it's a strange song.
'My World' Worried Me Back in TheDay...
I Thought 'My World', was Axl Gettin'Ready to Start His Own Thing.
(Little Did WE Know...)
Interesting song, reminds me of a strong industrial feel that was developing in the Brisbane night clubs and Sydney underground here in Australia moving away from technotronic in the early 1990s.This type of music changed the night scene vibe at the time and the change was do different. I remember this.
Meant word so and not do.
Ahh "My World", definately one of my fav GnR songs!!!
said no one ever
You need to get your ears checked up.
Yes a wild card classic. Ex. Dead flowers, acoustic nov rain, lil Susie Sunday morning
Kkkkkkkkkk
MisterAaft I enjoy, not my all time favorite, but I’d put it in top 20, but pretty low in it.
I often fall asleep to GN'R, but this song always wakes me up and scares the shit outta me! 22 years later and i still haven't learnt!
Weird song for GnR but give Axl credit for trying to do something new. He knew rock was changing.
LOVE this track! Axl finally uses his natural voice.
I feel like that "guess what I'm doing now" part, and the lighter flicking and inhaling sound is smoking crack...
Jennifer Maple Tf r u talking about ?? 😂Crack was at its PEAK in 1991
My World is great.
Still a dope song, and I love the drums on it. The chaos and mentality of the song is just sick!!!!!!!! Yes, I will listen to this track always!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're not well. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Didn't someone's book (maybe Slash) say that Axl did this song all by himself and he strong-arm'd the record label into putting it on the album at the last minute? I think Slash said he never knew about it either.
I'm a huge "Nine Inch Nails" and "front-242" fan! I think Axel was right on for making that, I liked the track!...BrAp oN!!¡!🎹🎧👊💥💀👌👍✌
I like the song because of its shock effect and I think it recontextualizes the rest of the material on both albums. It leaves me with a chilled, horrified effect.
Thank you for this series!!
mike anderson you're welcome! More to come in the future
He now has over 300 comments on this comment
What
I remember hearing my world on cassette maybe twenty years ago. GNR back then were the world's best band.
You mean 30 years ago?! 🤣
In my opinion, they still are the world's best band.
They still are...
I was a GnR fan, in my youth… Recently rediscovered this song… yea, ahead of it’s time… How is this not been sampled? like everywhere?
I honestly think My World is one of the best GN'R songs. But you have to be insane in a certain way to really understand it and dig it.
Interesting. I knew about the bong part. 1 question tho - at 6:50, where was this question asked? Is Axl actively answering question on that page? Also, id recommend doing Garden Of Eden! Nice video, keep it up! (And thanks for the bonus episode!)
Snod Axl did an open chat with fans shortly after Chinese democracy came out if you go to heretodaygonetohell.com
Thanks so much for this man, keep up the good work! you have a soothing voice too lol.
To quote Lars Ulrich "I remember how Nine inch nails got booed of the stage, while Axl was fkin lovin em" Such an artist, way a head of his time, remember the t-shirt axl used to wear "Kill Your Idols" Sooo on point with that! And when it comes to the song "My world" maybe ranked as 30 or 80, but rank 1 phsycedelic gnr song? Not to talk about how bold that move was, putting a risky song like that on a album that went platinum
thanks Thomas! I actually hate my voice haha.
Axl was always promoting new bands back in the day including NIN, Nirvana, Faith No More, etc… they never seemed to appreciate it.
I used to despise "My World", but now I've come to appreciate it, if only for the crazy weird Axlness of it. And I kind of love how much the fans hate it. Similar to "Absurd", now. I like a band that can occasionally confuse, frighten or disgust its fans 😂🤣😜 ✌ Gn'fn'R!
i rarely comment on videos, but these are fantastic. thank you.
Thanks Kirk! Appreciate the kind words!
I LOVED My World!!!
i think that the truly story behind this song is that axl rose was sick of a terrible diarrhea when he composed it.
I personally love the track bc it sticks out and is completely memorable. Like the first time you get through that onslaught of an album, only to be treated with some bullshit like "let's do it" over and over, haha. Good on you, Axl. Stick to your Guns.
Slash is a rock n roll guy, I can't picture him playing anything else!....but that's why I love him!!!!!
after Axl says "Guess what I'm doing now" thats not the sound of a lighter,its a girl moaning (having sex)
I'm with Izzy on this one,when i heard it"What The F!#K"?Having said that besides the NIN,you can hear the influence of GodLivesUnderwater on the outro of Since i Don't have you&some CD material.Yo,GNR Central which show you going to this summer?Buffalo&Hershey still wide open!I'm in hershey?I have heard the advert for the show here well over 100X yo.Have a good weekend y'all!:)
On am radio at that!:)
Ryan Gettig going to Edmonton Alberta show in late August
My World is sleezy as fuck and I love it
Great video! Congralutions
thanks!
I was in high school when illusions came out, I scratched my head while listening to My World, I don't dislike it, it's just not the Guns I love!!!
Tbh i personally dont like it. Axl must have been pretty high when he did it. If I ever have children, I’ll play it them and say “now this is why you don’t do drugs, kids” 😂
Maybe he was just writing what came into his head at the time and made it into a song
Shrooms are fungus that naturally grow they're mushrooms learn your drug facts kiddos. Dont be this guy
Can u give us a list of all the songs they've never play live?
I would like to know that as well.
Site got sone inaccuracies, Bad Apples was played a 2nd time as the first encore on May 11th 91.
Guns N' Roses Central
If you look at the timeline this kinda predates Korn and the NuMetal/rap rock genre, but it’s on the right timeframe to have helped contribute to it. Idk if Korn or Marilyn Manson were fans of this song but it’d be very believable if that was the case
Edmonton,way cool!!My best friend Modell will be at the bangkok show inside 2 weeks!I'll let you know!Buffalo&hershey still wide open 4 those reading,I kinda hope you meet the fellows,I think they would apprece your thoughtful posts!!I've met Slash&Gilby Clarke in '97 and happy to say they were both very nice to me and my sister!As a Swiss born red-blooded American gotta say I've always loved Canada,great country&people&like in Switzerland they don't litter!:)
i was going to email GNR management and see if i can get a backstage tour or arrange something. Thanks! I went to Switzerland a few years ago and loved it. Was super expensive though compared to Canada
Well,I think you should...I can see that working out just fine......
I love “My World”! It’s one of my favorite songs! I just wish it would’ve lasted longer.
My only question is...is that a real moan by some groupie one of them was having sex with?
No. Just like in Rocket Queen... it's done in the studio but not while they're rootin'😆
@@nelliesilvers1210 nah rocket queen was axl and some girl knocking it in front of a mic from what I understand
I was so young when I heard it. I felt entertained. I think it was quite good. I suppose I could have been stretched out of have part of it used in a movie or video game. I like how it was just a dab of something completely different but still tied in with Axls psyche. The music is interesting and the samples are vulgar. Really sparks imagery in the mind...kinda feels.like bits of a magazine cut up and pasted together.
I like your assessment. Some good thoughts on "My World".
Another reason the Use Your Illusion albums make me think of them as the GnR version of The White Album.
I know you get some weird looks when 'My World' is crankin' out the car stereo😁. Duff loves the song and it's his favourite song from the UYI CDs. Pretty cool tune👌🏻🤘🏻.
"Guess what I'm doing now..."🥴
Hey! Great work you've done here, man! Never heard of your chanel til today and already watched a lot of it, definetly subscribing! Just a couple questions, if you got the time to answer:
Do you know if axl ever refuted what Duff said about him not having written any of the Gn'R songs? What is your opinion about it, do you think it may be true?
Cheers!
I always loved this track.
Another great one man. How do you choose which ones you are going to do next? Can't wait for Right Next Door To Hell, Bad Apples and Shotgun Blues in particular!
it's usually whatever I feel like. I've got some other one's on my radar including Sympathy for the Devil, Locomotive and Greatest Hits Albums. You mentioned right next door to hell, i actually did that one as my first episode. You can watch it here. th-cam.com/video/WNb0lyo3Ioc/w-d-xo.html
oh man I missed that one thanks. Yeah Sympathy is gonna be interesting too, I read Slashs book recently and he talked a lot about how bad the vibe was during that recording, with Axl talking to him only from behind a magazine for 15 minutes and stuff like that. looking forward to stuff like Locomotive aswell!
Yesterdays yeah it definitely will be the videos in the series take hours to put together and research
will there be one for Pretty Tied up
cal reed yup at some point
Just stumbled across your channel & love it so far (and I am a Lafayette, Indiana native to boot). :)
So far, this is the only album I have heard in full, front to back (the rest in separate tracks, out of context). UYI II always struck me as the most bloated of the 2, both in the amount of ideas & how long they lasted (they just did not know when to let a song end, yet not a second of "November Rain" is wasted). This song just sounds like yet another idea added to the pot, except Axl did not know where to take it. Cannot say if Chinese Democracy is the direct result of "My World", but I wonder if Axl already had a game plan set for it that early.
thanks Eric! Appreciate the kind words. Check out the rest of my true story episodes! There's a ton of them and more to come!
Uploading my rock remix of My World tomorrow.
I recall around 97 or 98ish they played a new Gn'R song on the radio, I forget what it was called, but it was an Industrial type song and it was never played again. When it comes to My World, I always assumed it was just a filler track and not to be taken as an actual song, used to flesh out the album to make it more conceptual.
it was oh my god for end of days soundtrack. I have a true story episode on that song too. If you search oh my god true story guns n roses you should find it.
This went to surprising places.
This song kicks ass and innovative
i had to watch this video, hearing this song on a gnr album was odd
You don't understand your sex....oh yessss....my world.
You ain't been mind fucked yet
I LOVE my world. It's a song I can sing word for word when I'm anxious and angry and it calms me.🖤
Sympathy for the devil is abit of a disaster😆
Always found it a dark song,still do.
Like My World
What do you think is the worse track? This song or revolution number nine in the white album?
this song lol
Number 9 is soooooo much worse
Revolution 9 would’ve been good on John and Yoko’s avant-garde albums, not for The White Album. Then again, Wild Honey Pie isn’t exactly great either lol
I found it strange that they put it on there. I just assumed they were high lol.
Interesting.
Mushrooms explains it all to me!:)
Good vid!
Tickle Buns Just Bunz thanks!
some songs are just fun throwaway fillers , done for a bit of a laugh - you can't expect every song on a double album to be brilliant. i could imagine axl laughing out loud when he heard the finished song and insist it was put on the album as a fun bonus.
I love that distorted smile line, the "guess what I'm doing now....(woman moan)" part and its got a really good Axl scream but it's such a stupid track too
I enjoy hip hop, but not most of the rap songs.
Wtf do you think hip hop is?
I would rather they recorded “it tastes good, don’t it?”
Eh I always liked it, BUT I've always been into industrial too.
Izzy didn’t know what to make of this track
I hated it when I first heard it but now I like it. I am a big NIN fan tho
I get the idea of ending the Illusions albums with a short little coda song, but My World is godawful. First off, whatever the end track was, it should have been hidden, not cited on the tracklist. Second, you don't end an album with a song who's lyrics sound like they're inviting someone into an experience; you need lyrics that properly end something. "Farewell & Goodnight" by the Smashing Pumpkins is a good example, if a little long. Personally, after two albums of gandiose rock, I think they should have ended with something quiet and acoustic. A sound kind of like "Elizabeth my Dear" by the Stone Roses. Hell, they could have taken "Look at your Game Girl" and thrown that at the end, and it would've been great (I've always had a weakness for that song). Even if Axl really wanted to do an electronic piece, there's plenty of cooler, more downbeat electronic music that would be a better fit (see the end of nearly any Moby album). My World is just... just bad.
yeah not a huge fan of my world.
Lmaoooooo man you strongly hate a little 1 and a half min song whole paragraph and everything
@@trippyboy318 I can understand his hatred perfectly to be honest as this song is my opinion the only dud on Two otherwise outstanding albums.
Guns n' roses central, thanx for this series of videos! Love it! But, seriously, you didn't mention the word SEX on this video? Actually, for me, this song just sounds like Axl Rose is having sex!😂😂😂😂 Well, that's a woman's opinion! He could be, ok, on mushrooms or inhaling anything, but he's definitely having sex! My world is not really a song that I listen often, but I don't hate it at all... I like the whisper at the last verse! Hahaha it's sex and madness, that's all!!'😜🔥😜🔥
yup forgot to mention that. Btw thanks for the nice comments.
Didn't too much want the image of my Axl having sex but ok
I see this song as what was gonna be the next GN'R album "My world" it's not GN'R music. But I believe this 9 inch nails etc thing is a direction Rose was going for. Of course Slash, Duff would not go for it. So Rose during the tour came up to them said sign the name over to me or I'm not going on(they did it just to keep the show on the road). Duff, Slash wanted to keep it a hard rock band Rose wanted to go in another direction they would not go for it. So get rid of them take the name and do his own thing in which I believe it was Rose's plan. He did his album that took so long to do with so many different players coming and going. His hired guns for a band. And the album tanked like come on(nothing against the bucket heads guitar skills) but you have a guy wearing a KFC bucket for a guitar player is this a band or a freak show?. Rose is supposed to be this brilliant guy writes these lyrics but he comes out with his version of GN'R and it falls big time. Just goes to show you he's not gonna have the right mix with out Slash and Duff.
I got 7 seconds into the song before stopping it
Wtf I thought my world was put on the record without anyone knowing. I thought everyone hated it
i always thought that too, but from Axl's interviews it seems to suggest the opposite.
Axl's theory is that they in fact hated it, but pretended to like it so he would put it on the album and make a fool of himself.
Symphony for the devil I think is absolutely amazing
Don't like it either!!! Can you do SO FINE????
Keith Blackburn I'll be doing it eventually
No entendi una chota, pero muy buen informe.
Omg this song is so cringeworthy!!! I would much rather hear the "Taste Good" rap any day of the week.
taste good is a badass song
+Tamara Fobbs Fuck you the song is awesome and badass!! People like you have very plain taste in music!! Like no imagination and creativity.
The Song is cheesy & bad. Would've been better off closing illusion 2 with Estranged.
Axl invented ICP in 1991
Would've worked better as a hidden track
I always thought this tune was cool. I would take off other songs before this one
It didn't hurt anybody but maybe Axl's ego that no one liked it
You wan'da step into my world
It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss
You've been delayed in the real world
How many times have you hit and missed?
Your cat-scan shows disfiguration
I want to laugh myself to death
With a misfired synapse
With a bent configuration
I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath
You want to talk to me
So talk to me
You want to talk to me (7x)
You can't talk to me
You don't understand your sex
You ain't been mindfucked yet
Let's do it (3x)
Oh my distorted smile
Guess what I'm doing now
Why you talk so fast?
what kind of clown likes it more than november rain?
Never liked My World
I hate the song. When I downloaded the album onto my phone i had to go back and delete it I hate it that much. #cringe
My world ...I always thought it was GnRs attempt at gangsta rap
Shit went hard in the paint
This song is a pile of garbage but it's interesting to know the circumstances in which it was written and recorded, as well as the opinions of the other bandmembers.
Stop calling it a song. It's not a song, it's a track.
Chris Matthes isn't a song and track the same?
Correct.
I hate this song
It was extremely annoying and difficult to listen to haha
Terrible song, just terrible. Honestly the song is the worst thing they ever did.
agreed Daniel.
I disagree, better then patience.
Quite possibly the worst song I've ever heard. Not worth making a video about it.
It must've been worthy enough for you to waste time commenting on it. Since a lot of GnR fans hate it we wanna know where it came from.
Thank God GNR broke up if Axl wanted the band to evolve their sound like "My World".
