Tom-Ass Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) I really like Hillbilly Herald.. They put out a 5 song EP called Sunday's best that is just off the charts. Their first self titled was good too.. Don't think they have done anything ..other than that. I would call them a cross between Guns, AC/DC, Faster Pussycat and Crue..

LaterHolmes Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Early Replacements -- It's a similar formula to Appetite era Guns N' Roses. The swing/rawness of early Aerosmith with the velocity of the Ramones. Also Tommy Stinson is their bassist. They are a legendary rock band and their first two albums are great. A lot of people cite GNR's Sunset Strip (hair metal) contemporaries, but Guns didn't have much to do with or say about that scene other than blowing it out of the water completely. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BQWpozAfXWM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited August 21, 2016 by LaterHolmes embedding probs!

Lies They Tell Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Impossible to name one band. GNR has elements from so many different genres, so if I wanted the feeling that I get from listening to GNR without actually listening to GNR, it would have to be a mixture of many songs from different bands. Something like this: Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell - The Stooges Rats In The Cellar - Aerosmith Underwater World - Hanoi Rocks High Voltage - AC/DC Breed - Nirvana Chip Away The Stone - Aerosmith Crazy Bitch - Buckcherry Just Because - Jane's Addiction Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Elton John Sunshine (Go Away Today) - Jonathan Edwards Trouble Seeker - Cypress Hill Rock N Roll - Led Zeppelin Taxi Driver - Hanoi Rocks The Whip Hand - The Mars Volta Back In Black - AC/DC Love Is Blindness - Jack White Salt Of The Earth - The Rolling Stones Slave To The Grind - Skid Row Razamanaz - Nazareth Dead Jail Or Rock N' Roll - Michael Monroe Polly - Nirvana Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones When The Sun Goes Down - Arctic Monkeys Sex Type Thing -Stone Temple Pilots Rock Is Dead - Marilyn Manson Shadow On The Sun - Audioslave Train Kept a Rollin' - Aerosmith The Show Must Go On - Queen Some choices might sound odd to some, but this is my list.

Guitar Stu Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Great Thread and when I have some more time i will have a listen to some more of the suggestions in here. One of my favorites that I keep going back to is "American Pearl". Only put out out one album. I just keep going back to it. I don't really know anything about the band members but I do love the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The Cult is one that doesn't always get mentioned, but Electric is a great rock record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Its different, but many people also liked Poison and Cinderella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 No band is similar to GNR even tho GNR got elements from Beatles, ledzep, stones, dolls, queen, bowie, acdc, hanoi, aerosmith, nazareth, elton, pistols, duran duran, prince, sly and the family stone... But I want A7X and/or FNM to open for them, minimum of 90 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Like others have said, GN'R are unique but if you want the same quality of rock, you might as well stick to the best....Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, etc. If you're looking for an underrated band, Cinderella was probably one of the most underrated bands from the era.....still no "GN'R" but they weren't a typical "glam band" either....had a "bluesy" sound to them.

BorderlineCrazy Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 On 14/8/2016 at 3:38 AM, Gordon Comstock said: I'll add the album "The Art Of Telling Lies" by Vains of Jenna to the list. I think their first record "Lit Up/Let Down" is pretty cool as well. Also, Lizzy Devine's new band "The Cruel Intentions" is great. They've only released 4 songs so far, though. I don't think there are any bands similar to GNR but another hard rock band I like is Backyard Babies. And of course, special mention to the living legend Michael Monroe!

Gordon Comstock Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 @BorderlineCrazy Yea, I like the Cruel Intentions, I wish they'd release an album already though. And all the Vains of Jenna albums with Lizzy were good, some of my favorite songs are on the Demo album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaterHolmes Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 3 songs that approximate the early swing and velocity of Appetite Era Guns: 1). "Takin' a Ride" -- The Replacements 2). "No Feelings" -- Sex Pistols 3). "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A" -- The Clash I spend a lot of time looking for the "Rolling Ramones" feel of Appetite. It's what made them great IMO.

Dangelus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 A lot of Avenged Sevenfold's last two albums have a definite Use Your Illusion vibe about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papashaun Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Don't know if anyone else remembers this band. The debuted when I was around 10 years old or so.....but they were actually marketed/called "The Most Real Rock n Roll Band Since Guns n Roses." I did notice that Jizzy Pearl from this band, is now the front man for both Ratt and Quiet Riot at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aksel Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I listen a lot to a band called "OSLO ESS" they have a lot on spotify but not on youtube. They remind me of Guns N Roses. I love the guitar riffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
