I don't oppose people's belief.
Eventhough, I do hope you won't change your mind like i did years ago.

Guns N' Roses did get a bit commercialised in the end, but that doesn't matter, because they were always real. They were always the guys who were just riding this wave. Not a bunch of emo punks who caught onto a craze after their record company told them to.
LO-fuckin'-L - a bit commercialied? They were just about the biggest band in the world from the beginning...they abused drugs, declined in quality (and became less prolific) and eventually collapsed into the void they're stuck in now. But a great hard rock band, better than all the rest and I totally adore them.

Yeah well music is more subjective than politics really...that being said, Slash is awesome but jimi was more influencial i reckon. They're about even when it comes to craziness on stage though. Slash has his cool hair and could play fkn incredible riffs, but well, Hendrix did smashed and burnt several guitars including Pete Townshed's guitar when he played with The Who (and that was in the 60's) :p

Uh, remembering the time when we first listenned to rock and all I knew was "Iron Maiden is the best" or smt like.... "I'll love Kurt forever" :D. It's been more than 10 years, perspective's changed. I reckon we need time & real music experiences to get over that "subjective feeling" in the early stage, which I believe happens to every rocker.

... I just wanted to quote a guy at work today when i put on Apetite For Destruction

"Id prefer Aqua to this crap"

:(:(:(:(

I couldnt think of anything to say i was in such shock, so i just went with "YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOO GAY!!!" took the cd out (he was so not worthy!) and said that we werent going to listen to any music until he appologised.


Oh geez and Gnrlies are you saying there is no such thig as music genres and musical preference and TALLENT!

Shut the hell up, youre making your self look stupid.

If youre going to make a comment justify it. I mean Slash is the greatest guitar god of all time, meanwhile the Monkeys didnt play their own instuments.

YEAH THEY COMPARE!

not!
Of course there are genres, but emo punk and all that crap is just a fad. Its not going to last. Those kids are going to be ashamed that they listened to it in 5 years time.

Rock is the only pop musical genre to last the decades. All other genres have either been underground (hip hop), or have completely died out (disco).

I dont know what you are talking about. I didn't compare GNR with the monkees, I compared the monkees with simple plan (and other such bands). They are all corporatised trash.

Im not making myself look stupid, you are.

Slash is actually probably a better more dynamic guitarist, but then theres a little more credit that goes to the guy that invented modern guitar playing, so I guess thats why jimi gets all the kudos, and fair enuff.

Id rethink that. They were the biggest band in the world no question about it. They abused drugs, but then they always abused drugs (steve adler even openly admits to sucking cock for coke in their pre famous days). They definately didn't decline in quality (this is the statement that gets me most) - in fact they matured. Appetite was an explosive record that put them on the scene, but musically use your illusion is a far more comprehensive, and musically mature set of albums. They didnt collapse into any void. They broke up when they were still the biggest band in the world. They just didn't have a single decision that lead to them breaking up (as of course technically Guns N' Roses still exists with axl rose), so people think that they are just another relic of the 80's that faded away. This is NOT the case at all.

Heard some stuff off their new album today through a friend. It's not bad, but it's nowhere near as good as their old stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love their stuff, but their best songs left with Slash. And Axl's always been a great frontman, but a very, very big tool.
