Guns' songs were alot more complex than Poison's.The variation on AFD is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketmaster101 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I dunno dude, I listen to poison and its too glam... afd doesn't sound glam... more hard rock/ punk etc... but I'm no music professor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppruks Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 this is a huge pile of shit....poison couldn't write a decent song to save their life...every rose has a thorn is a retarded song, it's so cliche'd and boring that it's almost painful to watch when it comes on on VH1 classic or smth.guns had that glam look for like a couple of weeks or smth., it just didn't feel right for them, so they ditched it and guns songs (especially illusion era) are way more complex than poison songs, I bet there's not a single poison song with a meter change, and the lyrics are just dumb...that's my take on it, comparing Axl to Brett or Slash to CC Deville is just inappropriate on so many levels... some people may like poison, but I think they just flat out suck and have sucked ever since they formed a band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDRE Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) meh..I kinda agree though, to me Poison were the dudes who talked about how great last night's party was and how hot the chicks where, and GNR were the dudes, who talked about the chick at the party who s*cked off the dealer for a hit.

Lose Your Illusions Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I don't recall gnr purposely trying to look like chicks just to get noticed.Glam is one thing, trying to fool people into thinking that you're another sex is another.../threadAlso listen to the music and the message each band sends out and get back to me on that one.

Estrangedfx Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Ugh.Whoever the hell started this topic needs to be banned immediately.Forever.Comparing the "look" of each band in the early day's is inevitable,I suppose ... But fashion aside,one band was horrendeous (that would be Poison - Nothing but a crap band (whoever told Bret Michaels he could sing?!),and the other basically made a mockery of the "glam scene" and went against the grain with "Appetite".Ya know,they actually had that thing called talent - Not just a glittery wardrobe writing less than mediocre songs.Seriously,how could you EVER compare songs like "Rocket Queen" or "Mr. Brownstone" to anything Posion ever did?? It's ridiculous to even suggest Posion were anywhere near the same league as GNR.Oh,and the same thing applies to Motley Crue.Posion and Motley = The epitome of hair-metal.Axl/GNR,on the other hand ... Well,the proof is in the music. Edited May 11, 2011 by Estrangedfx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
