Guns N' Roses (Yes and Chinese Democracy, so don't make other threads on it.)
 

im listening to 'appetite for destruction' now and its just really great rock-comments? plus to those guns n' roses fanatics out there, what other album should i get of guns n' roses? what do u recommend?

Use Your Illusion I
Guns n Roses are amazing

thanx.

greatest hits, all the greats on it

sorry but they really suck big eggs

I love Guns n Roses, I have the one you're listening to and I also have the Greatest Hits cd. I've also got an old tape of theirs called G n R Lies, it's a good one. Since you don't have many cds yet maybe get the Greatest Hits, cause it's got Patience, Civil War and November Rain on it and a really nice cd case.

must say, fellow ledzep guy ive agreed with you most of the the points youve made... but this aint one of them. to me guns 'n' roses suck big time, i hate 80's rock in general. have to agree with you there tiaw!!

love guns n roses, some of it can be slow at times, and they are no way my favourite band.. but still love them

knockin on heavins door is awsome, that became my favorite song by them when it was playd at my friends funeral in November


Rest in Peace
:yeah: Rashel Rieder :yeah:

two of their so called "best songs" were done by someone else. live and let die= paul mcartney. knockin on heavans door= bob dylan.

im sorry about your freind dude.

Well appetite is their best CD, I have UYI 1 and Lies. I'd pick up UYI 1 if anything.

Don't listen to the people who tell you they suck, there not being honest because like them or not, they don't suck. And to the **** who said the covers were the best songs, I mean, your not even speaking logically.

If any cover is worth it, sympathy for the devil is the one but unless you want to buy interview with a vampire, pick up greatest hits, even though half of it is AFD.

I think the Zeppelin kids don't like GnR because they overshadowed their beloved Zeppelin.

Sweet Child o mine is their best :band:

i like led zeppelin AND guns n' roses

overshadowed zeppelin? you are having a joke!? and to people who say they suck, rock on, your only expressing your opinion which EVERYONE is entitled to. the point of this thread is to say what you think of GNR. and i did. if you find what i say offensive, tell somebody who cares.

ok this thread wasnt about what you think of GNR, thought it did, but i just dont like them, simple as. and saying they are better than zeppelin, its just not "logical".

yes GNR better than LED ZIPPELIN i think those zeppelin sucks

I only started getting into the gunners, but I love Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child O' Mine.

Morons like you make me happy to be alive. I won't even harp on the point you corrected yourself on in the next responce. But if everyone is entitled to their opinion why isn't my opinion valid that I think there opinion sucks.

Half you hippy losers with your PC liberal agenda are so quick to jump on your high horse you forget how hypocritical you are. That statement is a contradiction in philosphy, and you wouldn't know logic if it kicked you in the mouth.

yea theyre not my favourite band either, but like you, i still love em'.

lol no way is guns n roses better than led zeppelin, sure theyre both great bands, but led zeppelin are way way waay better than gnr!!!

Ok...why?
:pimp:

I love Guns n Roses way better than Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin's stuff kinda bores me actually, and there's only so many times you can listen to Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven and stuff. I think GnR's music is more fun, but that's just me.

if you like GnR you might like velvet revolver too.

Velvet rocks, I cant wait to pick the next CD.


OOJay, you like "They Live?" Great movie.

^thats my favorite movie of all time!!!!!!!!!!!

who said your opinion wasnt valid? i jus dont care what it is. thats all.

where the f*ck does political alignment come into this discussion?

lmao yea great point

Because of talk show culture, you assume that the word liberal has a political connotation to it. Being liberal has nothing to do with how things are governed.

If I was to say sprinkle cinnamon liberally, its got nothing to do with the affiars of the city state.

that u know of

Is that a question Gunz and Roses Greatest hits.and i would like to say Sweet child o' mine is a beatifully written song

but its true

why? because firstly, they were the pioneers of everything you listen to today, they created new techniques such as the backwards tape echo, new arrangements, new sounds. i havent seen guns n roses do any of that.
secondly,7 consecutive number 1 albums (both sides of the atlantic) speaks for itself, again i havent seen roses do that. on top of that they are commonly seen as the greatest live rock band of all time by rock critics and muiscians alike.
roses "magnum opus" was november rain- zepelin had stairway to heavan.....no doubt which song wins that category.
zeppelin incorporated folk,blues, soul, funk,country, west coast psychedelia and even reggae into their sound- as far as i know GnR were pretty 1 dimensional.
so theres my arguement- no doubt you 'll have a reply to this.

they have based so many other styles of music.....they r gods man

Guns N' Roses rules
 

In my opinion, Guns N' Roses is the best rock band ever. The CD that I would get, if you already have Appetite for Destruction is definitely the greatest hits. It's got all of the best songs like Sweet Child o' Mine, Paradise City, Patience, Welcome to the Jungle etc.

thanx i couldnt be fukd sayin y.

You bet your ass Ill have a reply to that. Do you think I'll just roll over. First of all, don't think you get any credit from me defending Led Zeppelin, its not as if you havn't had tons or already argued points to choose from.

So ill bullet point the crap out of your argument since there seem to be alot of conventional wisdom inaccuracies:

1. "They were the pioneers of everything I listen to today" while you've got no idea what I listen to today, lets assume you meant they influenced everything today which is a load of crap. As previously mentioned on these boards "Zeppelin just did everything better than anyone else" so invention wasn't really their forte and come to think of it, Zeppelin got sued alot for ripping off other peoples songs (i.e. The Lemon Song)

2. You havn't seen G n' R do any of what invent the same things Led Zeppelin did? How can you invent anything someone else did. reminds me of a Christopher Walken skit on SNL ("I wrote this song after I heard it on the radio") while invention doesn't make a band great, we could say that G n' R was the first group to have an Fing Recorder on their record to have Axl screwing a chick put in the middle of a song (Rocket Queen)

3. No I've never seen it written anywhere that Zeppelin was the greatest live act. That was always (until well after Zeppelin was done touring) The Rolling Stones. It wasn't even contested until probably the late 80's early 90's, not that GnR was a great act live (when they showed up) it was never Led Zeppelin, only bias fanboy's like yourself will say that.

4. As far as November Rain is concerned. That songs for little girls and I don't know anyone who says that it was GnR's greatest hit. While not many songs match up with Stairway, to put it up against NR was a cheap shot. Paradise City is clearly their biggest song.

5. You forgot their aweful stab at salsa in the coda to Fool in the Rain. I don't know how their one dimensional, alot of things were just factored into rock songs. Alder used to include disco break beats, there was certainly blues rif***e as Slash was blues trained, folk influence certainly made Lies and its without question they they threw a whole lot of punk into their sound. Compare GnR to any other rock band at the time, better yet just listen to "its so easy" and you can hear it in the sneer when Axl says "Turn around bitch I've got a use for you, besides you ain't got nothing better to do, and im bored." If its not punk to you, then you don't know punk.

As for my arguement; Zeppelin had alot of crap in their later work, in fact from the latter half of their collection the only thing I can think of that was exceptional was achillies last stand. Guns and Roses were the only band at the top when they came out, and as much as Kurt Cobain was given credit for abolishing Hair Metal, I think it owes its death to one third Cobain, one third itself, and one third Axl. He gave up writting mindless songs like Girls Girls Girls (god I hate Motley Crue) and stopped with the Glam crap and just rocked. In my mind, the only band that has a chance to out rock GnR is AC/DC.

And holy censors, it edited the slag for homosexual in what was intended to be riff-age

how do u get a avator?

the picture under the name?
