Popular Post RussTCB Posted April 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2019 Was just coming to post this. What a dbag. If you don't like GNR, good for you. But to write a whole article about you not liking them? That's just a weird move. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blackstar Posted April 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2019 I wouldn't mind an article about not liking GnR if it was well written. But this is stupid and you can tell from the first few lines where the guy says that he googled how many hours the bus ride from Indiana to LA is to prove that the straw of wheat would've withered. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jekylhyde Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I thought this kind of music journalism (slagging off bands) died in the late nineties... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Weird article. First he calls GNR humorless and then he's complaining about "feel my serpentine". I mean really? He's complaining about UTLH, an obvious joke song and then he's complaining about a man with a KFC bucket in his head. Who's the one with no sense of humor here? Oh and since when has Slash and Duff not been official members of the band? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many legit complaints about GNR but these people always seem to miss the mark. It's clear some is some hipster who wants you to know how much cooler the music he likes is. I've got news for him, Golden Hour isn't anywhere near as good as people keep claiming it is. So the Kacey mention at the end means nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) I'm all for savaging GNR where it's warranted but this isn't very cutting. Me and my middle-school pal... too cool for WTTJ... saying baby in a song, how precious.... SCOM is a power ballad so GNR are the same as hair metal. St. Louis. UYI was bloated. Chidem was a shitshow. It reads like a checklist from a pretentious blogger with a quota to fill. "At the time, the narrative around "Appetite for Destruction" was that it was a punk-rock takedown of the then-ubiquitous genre of hair metal" That's still the narrative... baby!

Ant Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Why are we rewarding GNR in 2019? Are people going to be talking about Billie Eilish in 2050? Maybe the whole saga of a band that pushed all the envelopes, including the low points, is something people pine for in this era of Spotify-core pablum. Gimme some drama! Gimme a saga... I want a saga... Edited April 30, 2019 by Ant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikute91 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 So this guy is from St. Louis. Plus, according to wikipedia, he currently hosts some LGBTQ podcast, so I take One in a Million didn't sit well with him, I get it. Frankly, I was quite surprised he never brought up Axl's battery allegations. The rest is so painfully nit-picky that I fail to see the point of it. The last thing I'd want to do is research what designer dress was worn in what music video by a band that I hate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
