Kill Devil Hill Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I don't care how good Rush is, but the Rushians suddenly woke up and are beating the shit out of the Gunners.But what if Rush WAS the better live band? Shouldn't they win?How long is this vote going? I'll vote December 22nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, at the cost of being subjective ( I don't care if I am - we are on a GNR forum ), Guns really deserve this because they are more under appreciated. A win would make more haters as well as those who ignore the band because of the current line-up, a chance to change their minds. I'm sure that GNR has more 'ex-fans' or detractors than Rush does, so a win for Rush may not change their fortunes as much.

Kill Devil Hill Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Eh, the best live band should win. Whether or not someone needs the win shouldn't really matter in my opinion. That skews the award. Imagine Guns N' Roses losing a debut album award to Dokken simply because Dokken is underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Guns N' Roses losing a debut album award to Dokken simply because Dokken is underrated. Ah, but would Dokken win the award because they are as good or better than GNR or more of their fans voted for them? By all means, let Rush win if they're that good, but it would be a shame not to see all the Guns fans who saw them and thought that they were the best, not vote for them. Who am I kidding? I just want to see GNR win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) I think Dokken's almost as good...[Edit] I mean debut albums! As a band, Dokken isn't close.Oh, and I'm not saying don't vote. Go ahead! My response to when you said you don't care if Rush is good. Sorry for my lack of clarity.

moreblack Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 When looking at who else is in the poll, it's not that impressive. The RHCPs tour will be the tour of 2012.even then, all those bands RHCP included, are probably lucky AC/DC didn't tour this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weak voice.Unlike this version of GnR, going to a Chili's show is about seeing more than just the singer.Not sure if you seen this version of GnR but I can understand that people go for Axl. However, after leaving the show they are talking about the band collectively because Axl has chosen a very talented group and allows them to share the spotlight.

Powerage5 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I voted for Guns, simply because it's fresher in my mind. Fact is, the Time Machine Tour REALLY does give GN'R's 2011 tour a run for it's money. Alice's NMMNG Tour I'm split on...it's got a GREAT setlist (As far as I'm concerned, his best setlist to date), but the theatrics are a little lacking. Is this only for tours that hit the US? Because I'm pretty surprised by a lack of Maiden's Final Frontier Tour. They played to 5 million people in 53 countries this year...not many bands can claim that of a single tour!

The Archer Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Okay boys and girls, Gunners back in the lead with 31.88 and the Rushians close behind with 31.66. This is going to be a long, hard fight If you notice, the Rushian army seems to be out in full force in the comments section on the poll and there's very little representation from the Gunner army. Anyone got any bright ideas on how we can keep Guns ahead?? Edited November 30, 2011 by The Archer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 You can vote as many times as you want to. Polls like this suck.Incorrect.When one tries to vote for a second time, one receives: "Thank you, we have already counted your vote."Thanks, I didn't notice that. I just hit refresh and saw the poll come up again, so I thought it was another of those "let's see whose fans have the most free time" polls.

Young_Gun Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Good to see Guns in front. Also good to see that people can't vote twice. Keeps the playing field even. The glory is even better knowing that it was done legitimately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verruckt Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just voted, then made the mistake of reading some of the comments over there. That's 20 minutes I'll never get back. My advice, just vote quickly and leave. Pay no attention to the arrogant Rush fans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
