bigcountry Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) For some reason on yahoo they had a link to "9 Bands that stayed together and got worse. I ask why in the hell is GNR on this list???? http://www.answers.com/article/1230387/9-bands-that-stayed-together-and-got-worse?param4=ysa-us-demo-gut Guns N' RosesTechnically, an argument can be made that this band has broken up, since Axl Rose is the lone original member in the lineup. Still, Rose teased fans with the release of a new album for just about a decade. When that album finally dropped, it was met with disinterest and derision. WTF are this people on GNR did break up, I know there are most likely saying the GNR name is still going there for they didn't ever technically break up.

Strange Broue Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 GNR got worse (so as Axl and for example Slash) so technically speaking this list is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdeyahlxp Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well Appetite was better than Illusions, Illusions was better than Spaghetti Incident etc. So while the original band was together they did get shittier over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_france Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Gnr has broken up since so many years. This is a now just a "project" with some nice guys who participate, but it sounds like a tribute band. But gnr is not your second-class band where musicians can come and go... Can you imagine Led Zeppelin without Jimmy Page or Rolling Stones without Keith Richards? CD is very good but it is not Gnr, no.

maynard Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sad that GnR has just become Axl's hobby to work on whenever he is bored.And for the hired band members, a nice paycheck while they spend the rest of the year working on original music for their other bands. GNR is a pathetic side project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) They "stayed together" part that is. The "got worse" part I wholeheartedly agree with. Also, Metallica is speed metal? Edited December 22, 2014 by username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockerRoller Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yeah gotta agree with the got worse part. I guess technically guns n roses never really ended, it just got completely redone and almost everyone was replaced with progressively shittier musicians, so it's actually a very fitting list to be on.

DieselDaisy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Which bands who stayed together did not eventually get worse?Honest question.None. In a generalised sense, all rock music careers are basically a decline from a, revered, period. A good example is the Stones have not put out a decent album since Ted Heath was in number 10. Metallica have also spent, more years of their career than others, basically declining (from their 1980s pinnacle). The best one can hope for is, to quit when you are at your peak (The Beatles were just beginning to decline when they retired) or have a series of partial comebacks such as Dylan and Neil Young in the 1990s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericy210 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Which bands who stayed together did not eventually get worse?Honest question.Agreed. I am growing sad as I grow older because my bands grow older too. Bands usually explode out of a particular time and culture and when that changes it's harder for the bands to be as unique, as dangerous, as counter-culture. They they find other distractions and lose the edge. I'm not sure what human activity people get better at with age... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadcaplaughs Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I guess in the most technical sense they're right. Guns N' Roses never broke up. They just continually lost important members until it was a band completely removed from its origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 They broke up and this is more clarified than, they just lost members. The band you see now is legalistically, no relation to the band then. Axl essentially dissolved, 'Guns N' Roses', and formed a new band with the same name: 'Guns N' Roses'. It is a gigantic Machiavellian con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfriend Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 To me a break-up is when the entire band simultaneously comes to the conclusion that its time to go their seperate ways. That never happened with GNR. It's a technicality, granted, and in some ways its indisputable that the GNR you can see now isn't the Illusions band and bares little resemblance to it.
