Guns N’ Roses vs. Bon Jovi – Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame Semifinals


Recommended Posts

I've never understood why fan push other fans to vote in these things. All they do is push hits for the respective site, it's not like the poll outcomes ever have any real impact. And, no "You must support GN'R in everything!" isn't a valid answer.

Exactly

Also funny to see all the hatred towards another band.

Bon Jovi sucks. Yet somehow he has managed to stay relative in the music industry for 30 years, sold a hundred million albums, and is still popular today - 30 years after his debut album.

I've always wondered how I can do it. If it is so easy for a non-talented musician to have a career like his..........where do I sign up!!!

Obviously I like GnR's music a 100 times more than BJ's music.

But take away 1988-1992 and Bon Jovi has had the way more successful career.

Bon Jovi was the top selling touring act in 2013. Did 90 shows, all 90 sell outs, and averaged 25,000 people per show.

We all might like GnR 1000 times better than Bon Jovi.

But BJ is a way more popular band.

I hugely disliked Bon Jovi & Sambora when I heard how they treated Skid Row.

Do you dislike all bands because of the way they treated their openers more than 25 years ago? Do you care how much money JBJ has raised/donated to charity?

I really base my like/dislike of bands based on the music they release and not because of what kind of people they are in real life. These guys aren't my friends. They don't care about you and I. They put out music. If I like it, I pay for their CD, merchandise and pay to go to their shows. They want my money - I want their music. That's our relationship. Axl Rose and Buddy Holly are my favorite singers of all time. I don't care if they are pricks in real life or the nicest guys in the word.

Its the fact that Bon Jovi & Sambora owned Skid Row's publishing rights, which were worth quite a lot of money after their debut album went five times platinum. Sambora gave his share of the rights back to Skid Row but the steel horse riding Bon Jovi never did.

Groghan, you do realize Bon Jovi "co-wrote" (bought) their biggest hits with Desmond Child, a professional songwriter whose purpose was to make songs tailored towards the radio and commercial success? There's nothing wrong with bashing them when they are being compared with GNR, a band that made their own success.

The poll is in ultimateclassicrock, not that Poison and Ratt are anything close, but Nirvana and Soundgarden were part of the first generation of bands that weren't really timeless. It's because of them and the movement they inspired, that rock fell off the top charts.

What's your definition of timeless music? Cause all I know is Nirvana and especially Soundgarden still kick ass.

Gnr wins as Bon jovi isn't rock music one bit

well bon jovi used to be kind of rock music

GNR earned everything they got. They made themselves. Bon Jovi bought their success from Desmond Child.

can you explain that a little what do you exactly mean with bought their success?
