How can you still agree with him? Its not even close. Try and prove to me that nirvana was bigger than guns n roses in the early 90s? What is your basis for that? Give me some figures, because nirvana sold less albums, played in front of less people and nirvana had less fans. The thing that you do not undertand is guns n roses were the biggest band in the world from about 1988/89-1993.
nirvana took an underground, unknown genre of music and blasted into the mainstream, changing the sound of music for the next 5 years. nevermind alone has sold 15 million copies worldwide compared to appetite for destructions 14. use your illusion comes nowhere near.
