Its not really pushing it at all. I am not saying they were as big as the beatles, but if any band came close to being as popular during their time period it was the guns n roses.

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.

First off you are wrong. Nevermind sold 15 million world wide while AFD sold 15 million in the USA ALONE not world wide.

Lets do just US sales since world wide sales nirvana does not even come close.

AFD sold 15 million in the USA.
Lies EP sold 5 million
UYIs sold 14 million (7 million each)

Bleach sold 1 million
Nevermind sold 10 million in the usa
IN utero sold 5 million in the usa

You really need to get your facts straight before you spew out this BS.
If you are going to lie then dont even both trying to show that nirvana was bigger.

Also nirvanas first album bleach didnt do squat, it was only when other bands like pearl jam, AIC and soundgarden came on the scene that grunge music took off. Even when grunge was at its peak in 92/93 guns n roses were still bigger than any grunge band or any band for that matter and I showed that in my previous post.

He was a much bigger ******* than Axl. Hell he and his wife smocked crack while she was preggo. Plus he spat on Elton Johns piano before he played Nov RAin with gnr back in 92

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

I think everyone would be a lot happier if Axl shot himself in the head, instead of Kurt.

funny...in a morbid sorta way...i think draven's right though..on all accounts...i personaly think nirvana is a far better band, but that's a matter of taste...

Trauma · 05-07-2005, 02:01 PM

Yeah well Axl pushed over the Nirvana trailer with Frances in it.
I'm pretty sure that's being a pretty big *******.
Btw, Back in Black sold 19 million in the USA alone but I mean I'm prolly full of bull**** too right?
The Wall also sold 23 million in the USA alone....and that was released in 1979, considerably AFTER The Beatles.
So if you're going to say I'm wrong and this is bull**** then you're probably in GNR denial, my friend.
But I mean what do I know??
I'm not a Guns N Roses fan so I probably don't know anything according to your logic.
