NicDwolfwood Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Thank you to all of you that contributed your insane arguments! I havent laughed that hard in a while What is clear is this. GNR has 4 Studio albums of Original Material, 2 Eps(one of which was packed with the 1st Ep), 1 Covers album, 1 Live album and 1 Greatest Hits album = equals 9 total albums. take it or leave it. Low number for a band thats been around 30 years? Probably. But take into consideration that the band was essentially dead from 94-2001. And then Axl Spent 01-08 tinkering the shit outta Chinese and fighting to have it released. then Spent 09-2014 touring the material into submission with like guys Dj Ashba and mother goose pitman. GNR simply isnt a normal band. We the fans arent either. fucking more like masochists. We have put up with more shit than any other fanbase and here we fucking are, talking about this band still. arguing insane topics such as this with insane arguments..lol Edited January 10, 2017 by NicDwolfwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 1985-1996 AFD Lies UYI I UYI II 3 and a half albums in a period of 11 years plus a cover album. That's how a good band works. 1996-2016 CD That's how a fake band works 2016-...? We'll see what what will happen. Regardless of the same name, what is clear is these are different bands. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One band, different incarnations. 5 studio albums of original material. Fleetwood Mac's band members have all left except 2 original ones for example. It's not unprecedented. The Sex Pistols have released 1 album while they were together. No issues whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They years don't just disappear because the band was unproductive. Yeah but the band had effectively broken up during this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean fuck, we don't even agree how many albums they've released which is ridiculous given that it can be counted on a single hand (or can it? ) Spaghetti Incident seems to be getting completely overlooked in this thread too, almost as if it never existed. I'm sure the original versions of a lot of these songs would have been "new" to the masses, much like Live Like A Suicide was, so surely it too is worthy of being included? appetite, lies, illusion I, illusion II, spaghetti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exists was maybe the wrong word that I used because they probably exist in some form. But they were never released so you can't list them in Guns' cataloge.

StrangerInThisTown Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 lol at this thread. In terms of material the UYI albums could have been split into 3 albums with 10 tracks each, they have that many songs. It could be a lot worse. ACDCs last album had a runtime of barely 30 minutes, one UYI is more than double than that..I am just glad they did what they did before the band exploded, if they had just released 1 normal length album in 1991 then I would think the discography is small. But what we got is okay, they basically released 3 albums worth of material in 1991. Look at it this way, if you would split that up over the years you would see it would not be that bad, imagine one 10 track album 1991, one 10 track album 1994, and the last one 1997. We are lucky we got them all at once, with Izzy on all of them too. 9 hours ago, wasted said: There's 5 covers on the GNR Greatest Hits?

AxlRoseCDII Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Use Your Illusion I and II were each ONE album. Same with Chinese. Then there's Appetite. I'll throw in Lies now just because it was technically an album, but it's a stretch. That's 5 albums. Not 8. Not 9. 5 albums. Since 1987. That's an average of one album every 6 years. That's not very good, considering UYI I and II were released on the same day and there have been two gaps between 1993-2008 and 2008 to the present. Stop arguing people, this bands discography is pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 15 hours ago, Rovim said: He wasn't active for long periods of time. Honest question. When you define how long other band's careers are do you factor in years they weren't active? For example - in 1975, 1979 and 1984 (making up year) the Rolling Stones didn't tour or release an album. So for you - those years would be deducted from the total number of years the Stones have been a band? I only ask as I've never heard anybody define the career of a band by the method you use with GnR. No band is active 24/7 365. But Ive never seen people dissect a band's "career" by subtracting random years when they didn't release music or tour. 15 hours ago, wasted said: The myth is you need 20 albums to be a good band. I kind of respect them for not milking the fans with mediocre remake albums. If they didn't have anything good they didn't release it. I like you man. But sometimes you try too hard.
