I don't hear Patience as much these days.
Since my first choice for underrated GNR song (Rocket Queen) has already been taken I'll throw out Nice Boys, Think About You, Coma and Estranged. Coma and Estranged are too long to ever get played anywhere now so I think they are underated now. There aren't too many bad GNR songs from the classic era and most of them are underrated at this point so you can pretty much pick anything.
This exactly why I listed Patience as underappreciated. Of course, I appreciate it, but the kids these days, may not. They only hear the hard stuff from GNR. GNR Lies turned the perception of the band on its head in the industry and I firmly believe without the success of that EP songs like Don't Cry and November Rain from Use Your Illusion don't become popular.
