6lake sa66ath Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Mate, I've seen both of them live on stage this year, Axl/DC at the London Olympic Stadium and Jane's at Download closing the 2nd stage. Perry's in great shape for 57, but that's not taking anything away from Axl's performances this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Ilove how butthurt fans get over someone's opinion. If Perry had said GnR are the greatest band of all time the people whining like babies would be praising the man for how smart he is. Some of you look like assclowns every time a celebrity mentions GnR. You either become their biggest fan or their biggest hater depedning on how you percieve what they said about GnR. Talk about fanboysim and not thinking for yourself 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 All Perry said is basically that he feels Jane's Addiction are underrated. He never discredit GNR in any way. It's more the other way around. Actually what he said means he thinks GNR are great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Funny, I just saw JA at Coney Island. I'd gone to see dinosaur jr and stuck around for JA. JA had their diehards, for sure. So, those people would likely argue that JA is greater than the Beatles, let alone GNR. Me, I watched half the set then left to wander the boardwalk with my pal.

pjjk Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 JA just played a 2000 seater in Philly. I've never understood the appeal of JA but did really like the first Porno for Pyros record. Artists sniping each other is never something I understood. There's no need for it and they're all fighting to make a living with music. It also alienates the other bands fans in terms of growing your audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If GNR offered opening slot to JA at Dodger Stadium, Perry would whore out for money - and Dave's already a whore. Even if they asked for more money than Kravitz and The Cult, Axl , Slash and Duff would prob. be fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffani Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Only people with inferiority complexes feel the need to exalt themselves over others, blowing their own horns for glory. Timeless art speaks for itself. Fuck that freak Perry Ferrell and fuck Janes Addiction. That's all... Edited July 24, 2016 by Tiffani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfan2008 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 On July 14, 2016 at 11:48 AM, Kasanova King said: I think it's a huge compliment to the band. Like others have said, GN'R are now considered one the the greatest rock n' roll bands ever again....right up there with the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, AC/DC, etc. The fact that he's using GN'R as a milestone is awesome, imo. I certainly think it was meant as a compliment to GN'R, but at the same time it's not a good look to brag about your own band the way Perry did. If you are legitimately great, you don't have to say a fucking word about it. People will know and say it on your behalf. You don't see Robert Plant or Jimmy Page running around making comments like that. They don't have to. Likewise with Mick, Keith, etc. He is right though that GN'R was popular and legitimately good, which is not always the case. Plenty of other popular rock bands from that time period were absolute shit and music hasn't stood up over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
