album sales truely reflects the success of a band, its a measure of how many people like the music. you really should learn to say something other than "you really should learn how to read", you just sound monotonous now. and yes UYI is average- IN MY OPINION. do you understand the concept of opinion?! it doesnt mean i know nothing, it means i have a differing view to yourself. but then that just shows how conceited and dismissive you are really. and shut up about touring, a lot of people cant afford the ticket price or get to the location, it is not a true measure of a bands success- unlike album sales.

Yeah you really buy all the gossip don't you, Courtney never knew she was pregnant when she did the crack and stopped as soon as she found out she was. He only spat on Elton Johns piano becuase he believed it was axl's who had previously been an ******* to him.
A little example
Courtney: Hey axl i want you to be frances' godfather
Axl: (to kurt) tell your b!tch to shut up
Kurt: (joking) shut up b!tch

Ok for LZ IV since you are so hard about that album.
It was released in 1971 and in 1990 it was only at 10m albums sold in the USA while AFD was released in 1987 and in 1998 it reached 15m albums sold in the usa.

So that just shows how that gnr was just as big if not bigger than LZ since in half the amout of years gnr sold more albums.

Sorry but you lose again.

Oh yeah and btw LZ IV is about 8 songs, you take the best 8 songs from UYI I and II and its better than LZ IV (IMO).

Dont cry
Nov rain
Coma
Civil war
Estranged
Breakdown
Locomotive
YCMB

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.
