Who cares who sold more albums? That most likely shows which band is crappier...
Lets do some simple data gathering here...it's like being in school again! arent you all excited??
Everyone now adays likes "emo", right? Exactly how good is emo music? alittle good...less than alittle good? completely devoid of any talent? I'm going with option 3. Yet, these bands sell more albums than..let's say...Metal music, for instance..since this is a metal forum. It does not mean they are necessarily better than metal, it just means emo is mainstream and everyones best friend has to be like the next one and listen to their music because it's the cool thing to do.
So in conclusion, GNR was very very mainstream, You can't compare it to other bands with just how many albums were sold. IT'S MAINSTREAM. GET OVER IT. THEY WERE NOT THAT ****ING FANTASTIC. Godamnit, go pick up a Jethro Tull album for ****'s sake.
