Sydney Fan Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 1 hour ago, Rovim said: Appetite was the culmination of what came before in the genre of hard rock while containing influences from other genres as well. (punk ,metal,etc) Gn'R was the band that perfected it and a lot of what was cool about hard rock was masterfully included on that album. Not an evolution, but I'm glad someone had the talent and interest to do it. It was like the final link in that chain so while not an evolution it was a fresh new recipe made from familiar ingredients. It has a unique personality that can't be duplicated. Most bands did not change music. How many bands like The Beatles, The Stones, or The Sex Pistols? very few I would say. Most hard rock bands were not talented enough to record an album like AFD. Quite a feat and you can't come up with an album like that without being extremely talented or you know... great. As slash described appetite, their social life reflected the songs. The stones have good songs but i havnt heard of any of their albums where one album is start to finish no filler....maybe some girls? Unless the forum wants to educate me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the best run of albums any band has put out. And pretty much every track is killer. (I might have left out Aftermath though) but I see why it’s in there. The MC5 get fuck all Love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf Im not saying their albums are shit just that if i listen to theur 70s albums they have maybe 2 or 3 good listenable songs and the rest just do it for me. Probably as they alternate around the country rock sound. Again thats me. Emotional rescue and steel wheels albums on the other hand.....

acor Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 AfD was greatest album all the time... Lies was great. UYI was inconsistent and over the top... Hovewer, even heights of UYI don't reach AfD lows... Whatever happened later was not Guns N Roses in my book. Even if they stayed together, they would not create another masterpiece. UYI was already a huge step down... Does it makes a Band overrated or underrated? I don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 8 hours ago, DieselDaisy said: They have too small a discography to be considered alongside the greats like the Beatles and Stones. Rose basically pissed away both GN'R's and his own career down the toilet. I suppose the Pistols have an even smaller discography but that is the Sex Pistols and they turned popular music on its head. Appetite was legendary but it didn't change music. This. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. If i had to make top12 of Gnr songs, it would be all AfD... BTW- some of songs you mentioned are among the worst songs of GnR IMO (Novemer Rain and both versions of DC especially).

Jeez you're a grumpy little fella aren't ya? Very testy reply! Are you going to be OK? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. "A personal crusade against Pearl Jam" is probably a bit of a stretch! I don't particularly dislike Pearl Jam at all. It's just that I think they're a fairly straight forward rock band who get the recognition they deserve. I think everyone has a favourite PJ song but I think they became boring after a while because they're not exactly treading new ground. Apart from No Code which I thought went in a bit of a different direction with a few of the percussion heavy songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAFC Nick Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 GN'R is my favourite band of all time, but one thing that GN'R isn't is under-rated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underrated in terms of like, critical acclaim perhaps? Are they underrated? Nah, I don't think so. They're pretty much taken for what they are, a REALLY good rock n roll band (which its hard to deny that they were in their day) who released one stonking album in Appetite, a cracking EP in Lies and then a sprawling disjointed but ultimately decent enough double shot in Illusions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourcrazy Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I think they are pretty accurately depicted by most media and fans. They are probably the highest rates rock band from the 80’s. They seem to have more respect than Bon Jovi, Motley Crew etc. They were voted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame on their first ballot as well. This latest tour also did a lot to help their overall image. With all the praise of late, there still is always a bit of disappointment over what could have been. GnR really could have been up there along all the greats but they wasted so many years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UYI gets less praise, which is fair considering its lofty, sometimes bloated approach. And the rest is all fat. Spaghetti, Lies and CD hardly make a strong case for the "underrated" claim.

Even Mama Kin and Move to the City are good, very good even. The guitar is glorious on Mama Kin. And Reckless Life and Nice Boys, well, for what they are they are great, fast and loose. I don't think Axl has sounded better vocally than Lies, You're Crazy is a brilliant vocal take, as is One in a Million, Used to Love Her. I'll defend that band to the hilt when it comes to Appetite and Lies. And Illusions, when I'm in a charitable mood, look, it ain't nowhere near what they wanted it to be but for what it is its decent enough. The problem with trying to make a White album is people will judge it like a White album. Edited July 3, 2019 by Len Cnut 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
