Appetite was ok for its time
they definitely do not deserve the credit the receive.
and they only really exist in name....
they should have broken up

Appetite for Destruction was a fantastic album. But Axl Rose proved to be one of the biggest wankers ever, and deserves 100% of the shit that GNR get.

Weezer anyone?

I don't think they sound dated at all. Just bad. ;)

I suppose my initial thing was a bit vague
I meant that...and that they just don't produce good music anymore and should have broken up before they sullied their previous work.

Sabbath

Even if i'm in a really forgiving mood and ignore the Dio & Ian Gillen stuff there's still a whole host of crap there afterwards.

Guns N' Roses did break up Axl just didn't get the memo.

I completely disagree.

I think that in an era of diminishing quality of vintage metal bands (especially NWOBHM), Black Sabbath has remained refreshing throughout. And other than Never Say Die!, the Ozzy years were plagued by good album after good album, and I can't imagine growing tired of them any time soon. Maybe it was Ozzy's vocals, maybe it was Iommi's simple guitar riffs, but Black Sabbath has never felt like they seemed dated, and when you consider there were once bands that enjoyed success like Krokus, UFO and Whitesnake, Black Sabbath still sounds pretty fuckin' good.

Not to mention they just created a brilliant movie based off a Black Sabbath song. Sounds like someone still has an affinity for them. :)

Oh i'm not talking about the Ozzy stuff. I mean the post 83 stuff with people like Tony Martin & Ray Gillen on vocals.

Oh hell yes. I've never even liked anything after '78, let alone when that midget decided his time was up too...
