Guns N Roses... suck and blow.

[Messiah]

Just watching a program last night...

Guns N Roses VS Green Day.

Back to back hits from each on VH1 Classics or something...

It made me realise something;








Guns N Roses sucked arses on a major scale. How can anyone take them serious!?

Axl Rose has got to be THE biggest tit of the 80's (they shouldn't have existed in the 90s)...

I didn't realise how shite they were till I saw the 'hits' back to back...

And to think of the money the shrieking talentless has spent fueling his own ego since then, he must have squandered 100's of bands worth of chances.

All I can say is thank **** Kurt came along and put them into place...

Green Day came across well, good tunez, etc...

GNR wrote and recorded some amazing albums. You are plain wrong.

It's so funny how often people are just stupid. GNR did last into the 90's. In fact I think they made it to what '95, all I know is I graduated in 97 and they were still around my freshman year of high school at least. So 84/85 to 94/95 that's ten years buddy. Your Beatle's only lasted what, 13 years. I mean they should've at least made it to the 70's(well I think they made it to '70 but you get my point.).

Yeah, like 'Welcome to Jungle" didn't kick ass....an only Steve Tyler can top Axle's dancing.

Guns n roses even though not one of my favorite bands, has my deepest respect.

paradise city.. sweet child of mine.. (both timeless songs)

I never really liked them. They did a couple tracks I thought were cool, like november rain, but whatever. Overall I didn't like them at all, and never bought any of their records.

the spagetti incident cover was the nastiest, tastless, worst album cover of all time IMO. it's one thing if your an un-known artist with a bad album cover, but for a band that big to do something like that....whatever.

me to. I did think at the moment WTF ??? but we are still talking about it.. so it served the purpose i guess.

[C_F_H_13]

GNR truly were amazing in the day, and to this day, I find it hard not to sing along to paradise city etc. HOWEVER, Axel is the biggest ****** bag I have ever met. The guy still acts like he is the biggest star of all time and everyone should lick his balls. He's fat,pale,and has the most horrible corn rolls ever.

I can't wait for his album to come out and flop....loser.

But don't talk shit on GNR....those guys rule.

Sorry for the rant,....I hate that guy.

[macr0w]

I graduated high school in 88 and I remember very well when AFD came out and I can glady say that I didn't like them then and I like them even less now. Sorry GnR fans but they where a little over rated. How many rock bands have written songs that you still remember?...... That's a dumb question isn't it.

Overrated???Please... they were the best thing to come along since the Stones!And unlike the stones they knew when to call it quits

[timmcallister]

suck AND blow? at the same time??? thats cool...

Well, I never bought a GNR album, nor would I put anyone of their songs on my ipod if I could get it free off napster, BUT axel had a unique (and subjectively GREAT) voice and they could cater to the crowd of their time. Never thought that much of slash.

but obviously people liked em. gotta give them their props.




But what do i know, I think Roland Orzabal is a fantastic song writer and the Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach album Painted by memory rocks.

[petsematary]

Appetite for Destruction gest my vote for best album of all genres and all times. 'Nuff said.


tutt RAAWWWKK!!!

funny, they even toured with the stones when appetite for destruction came out.

anyway, you guys are crazy

GnFnR forever

use your illusion 1 and 2, AFD, lies theres like at least 5 hits on each of those albums

have met axl once and he seemed a bit out there. used to live next door to duff mckagan and he was always a cool guy, real nice, same with slash, never met the others tho.

anyway

on the production tip, their albums are ridiculously awesome too, mike clink

[superburtm]

What the hell is Mike Clink doing these days??Did he ever really do anything after GNR to speak of??

did they? I just think everyone got tired of Alx thinking he's gods gift to RnR and left the band. Don't get me wrong, I just finished unpacking the cassette and Dat boxes from my move last year and 2 weeks ago I uncovered my original GnR Demo tape. Hell, I forgot they wrote November Rain back before Appetite, but back then it was called Keep on Walkin'. Anyway, Too bad Axl got such a big head out of it all.
Anyway, their, err, HIS first concert in years is June 9 or something at the Download Festival at Castle Donnington UK. Wonder if it's gonna suck as bad as the MTV appearance GnR did when Axl had Bucket Head with him. So sad to see where Axl went to. Maybe they should taken a cue from Metallica and gotten some therapist to come talk to the band and get paid stupid amounts of money for doing sh|te. Axl should go hide out till he's willing to appologize to the rest of the band. Until then GnR is done

Funny....I've always had the exact opposite opinion. I kinda dig slash's playing and tone but could never make it through an entire GnR song without wanting to jump into the speaker and rip the whiney little weasel's vocal chords right out of his body so nobody ever had to suffer through another moment of him.....I can't think of a single rock vocalist that I find more grating than mr rose.

[sasha222]

i think this should be in moan zone..
but

i dont call myself a GNR fan but appetite 4 destruction ROCKED imho. I have no doubt about that. not the kind of album that i want to listen to over and over again, but it did have some magic..or somethin

[vernier]

GNR did some unique things ...songs like "Pretty Tied Up", with it's interesting and unpredictable arrangement. Slash's tone is too runny for my taste though, and they recorded at a time when too-much digital-verb was the norm, but then they countered that with a neat name and cool looks. For serious hard-rock listening, I still get out the Led.

Michael Bolton?

Oh, wait, that ain't rock.

Mike's still rockin. He's more recently worked with Megadeath, Duran Duran, and Motley Crue. He's one of those guys that had so much success in back in the day that working is an option shall we say. I never have liked metal but knowing the egos he was working with, he's a magician

I had the pleasure of working with him here at Gravity in 1996, good guy.

With regards to Guns and Roses, never got into them myself, but enjoyed working with Izzy Stradlin on his first solo record in 92 --- I was left with the impression that he was the real songwriting talent in the GnR.

[davidwilson]

For me Appitite fo destruction was a great album. I still listen to it now.

All goes down hill from there.

[Gregg Sartiano]

This completely belongs in the moan zone -- or somewhere else on the forum. Not here.

[Jeff16years]

i think that this is the wrong forum for this post but,

when they made it big (1988ish) i was about 16 years old and really into rock music (and i still am)

back then i said the same thing that I'm going to say now:

GNR is the worst rock band of all time.





(mostly because they were fronted by the worst rock singer of all time)

[picksail]

Appetite For Destruction is, in my opinion, a seminal rock album.

I think it's a very important record. The epitome of rock n' roll.

please never mention led in the same discussion as GnR

AMEN. You know I have a younger brother that wasn't even born when that record came out yet its one of his favorites. Not to mention all his little girlfriends love the shit. Its one of those records that people will play 30 years from now and thats pretty much undeniable.

[audioalchemy]

i just listened to Use Your Illusion for the first time in years. And it's amazing how age etc. can change your view of the songs. I was in 3rd grade when that album came out, and I thought it was tits. However, listening to it now, it rocks, but in a very self indulgent way. just doesn't kick my ass like it used too. All that being said



SLASH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[84K]

Why is this bullshit in "So Much Gear..." I plead for a moderator to move it to "Moan Zone" or "Shoot The Breeze" where it belongs.
