Controversial Song from ‘GNR Lies” Won’t Be Included in Boxset Bundles

One song omitted from yesterday’s announcement was the hugely controversial song ‘One in a Million’ from the 1988 release ‘GNR Lies’. Yesterday, Guns N’ Roses announced an absurdly massive box-set reissue of their classic 1987 debut Appetite For Destruction. In addition to a remastered edition of the original album, the super deluxe $999 Locked N’ Loaded edition will feature a whole mess of b-sides, rarities, and bonus tracks, including 25 previously unreleased recordings from the band’s sessions at Sound City studios in 1986, their 1986 EP Live ?!*@ Like A Suicide, and all of their 1988 EP G N’ R Lies. Well, almost all of their 1988 EP G N’ R Lies: As Alternative Nation points out, it won’t have “One In A Million.”

Even back in 1988, before Axl Rose was woke and hated Trump, “One In A Million” was a controversial song. This is its second verse: “Immigrants and/ They make no sense to me/ They come to our country/ And think they’ll do as they please/ Like start some mini Iran/ Or spread some disease/ They talk so many God damn ways/ It’s all Greek to me.” Charming stuff! But the song’s main claim to fame was its first verse, which includes a racial slur: “Police and That’s right/ Get out of my way/ Don’t need to buy none of your/ Gold chains today.”

So does it make sense that GNR would rather pretend the song doesn’t exist? Yes. Is it OK that they’re just trying to bury it without actually acknowledging it? I’ll leave that up to you. Presumably, it’ll be a moot point when the soon-to-be-announced $100,000 even-more-deluxe version includes “One In A Million.” You know, for the real fans. Check out the AFD reissue tracklist below.
