I finally listened to Izzy's 117° album for the first time ever the other day. All I kept thinking was "goddammit, this dude sure lives the Stones!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally speaking like the Stones (especially their older material), but I use the word "masterpiece" pretty rarely when it comes to music. But yeah, Izzy loves them.

default_ Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The only stuff I dont really care on the Stones discography is their 80s imput, but I love Voodoo Lounge and everything that comes after, Bridges to Babylon is great. Different, but great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stro Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 For the topic at hand: Band would have fizzled out like it was doing before they split up, probably would be doing state fairs and race day concerts like Poison/Foreigner/Boston type contemporaries.

I'd disagree with you there. Guns was/is at a higher level than the other bands you listed. IMO, they'd still be able to fill large arenas if they'd kept releasing/touring from 95 on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWolllert Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm sorry, maybe it's only my opinion, but to me this is a useless question, cause no one will ever really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have BTB but aside from a couple songs don't really like it and what I have heard from TSMR hasn't impressed me too much either. I do like 12x5 even though it is mostly if not all covers. One thing for certain is that The Stones have an insane catalog of music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they were lame and uncool before they even broke up and I'm pretty sure had they stuck together they'd have been doing local rock station 80s nostalgia shows with Skid Row and Poison or some shit in 2003.

Tom2112 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Likely they would have released some subpar records and now they would be playing arenas but stadiums would be out if the question. I just think they had lost their focus, so getting anything great from them would have been difficult, and that's down to all members pulling in different directions.

Basic_GnR_Fan Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 On 2/12/2019 at 6:42 AM, Gnrcane said: Most likely they would have released a disappointing album in the late 90's, toured it to dwindling crowds and then broken up after the tour. There would be no reunion because nobody would have been wanting it since they would have ended on a low note. I just think that they were so dysfunctional after the UYI tour that there is a very low chance they could have created a good album of GNR music. Even if Izzy came back to write/record, he wasn't really working WITH the band on UYI. Plus, there's a good chance that at least Slash would be dead. I disagree with all of this, even if they put out disappointing albums in the mid to late 90's/early 2000's. Metallica's Load and Reload and then their low point in St. Anger were disappointing in general (even though I'm personally a fan of Load), and while they lost fans they still maintained themselves as a big band and eventually made a comeback album in 2008. Guns could have done the same. They were simply too big to just turn into what a typical 80's band is now. On 2/18/2019 at 10:40 AM, Stro said: They were.

Dude just not. Guns with Axl and Slash would/will never be below an arena band. Simply too much starpower between them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been interesting to see if they would have done the Woodstock concerts (I think Slash said they turned down a Woodstock 94 offer), or the Lollapalooza tour-I'm guessing they would have eventually been asked. they probably would have been in the Bon Jovi/Motley/Metallica range of bands that would easily fill an arena-would have been interesting to see if they could have had another massive hit like Bon Jovi did with It's My Life in 2000-something that Chinese Democracy sorely lacked. Agree with this, they were quite uncool by 1993, and were seen as a bit of a joke in the music scene. (Not by me ) I'm actually quite happy with how things turned out, good solo albums from Slash, Duff, Izzy and Gilby, got me into Bucket, Finck and Bumble, who I don't think I would have discovered Edited February 22, 2019 by Brownstone drum Added a sentance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
