Why do I have to edit every post I make ? maybe I want to ? have n`t you thought about it ? what " facts" and " common sense " am I being destroyed by you grumpy old man ? you `re gravely mistaken if you think you`re making sense or your opinions are facts .

What does Axl`s lack of output have to do with the actual topic ? it`s quite idiotic to pass your opinion about a hypothetical scenario as a fact. Scott was a nobody back then whether you like it or not. To use your phrasing, only a fucking moron would think GNR would be " hugely " successful without Axl. Now, do a favour and remove tampoon out of your ass champ.

Rest In Peace Top Gear.

What a load of bollocks typical Groghanism could n`t be arsed to respond seriously and No, GNR without Axl would be just another run off the mill, mediocre 80`s cock rock band which would have got lost in oblivion like the rest of them did. Trying to wade through your wall of horeshit is nauseating.

Scott Weiland who was a complete nobody in 90 would have been a great choice as Axl`s replacement

Sigh. Your lack of music knowledge actually, at times, hurts my feelings. You obviously know how to operate a computer, and you clearly know how the internet works. Yet your lack of musical knowledge is shockingly inept.

Sit down, you might not know this. But in 1986, Axl Rose was a complete nobody. Every famous musician was - at one time - a complete nobody. But their talent ends up making them a "somebody."

Nobody touched GnR from 1988-1993. But for the entire decade of the 90s? GnR wasn't even the most successful or popular band for the decade. In fact, by 1992-93 a lot of the rock world was burnt out on the band and Axl's antics. In terms of success for the 90s, Stone Temple Pilots were at GnR's level. Were both bands at the same talent level - hell no. But unfortunately for Axl, his band stopped putting out music. STP put out albums. In the 90s, they won rock Grammys, they had number one albums, they had 16 top ten billboard rock hits in the 90s - more than GnR. From 1994 through 2000, STP was a bigger and more popular and more successful band than GnR.

So to say that Weiland couldn't have replaced Axl because he was a nobody......just shows your ignorance of rock music and the 90s decade. I'm willing to give you a break though, maybe you are one of our younger posters and you weren't alive back then.

Age card again how original I think your musical " knowledge" is flawed at best and it`s you who needs to do homework STP broke into the mainssteam in 92 with Core no one knew or gave two shits about Scott and STP in 90. Next time when you decide to quote me make sure to trim down the bullshit and keep your lectures to yourself.

Besides, OP clearly said if Axl had left in 1990 is it so difficult to understand ?

Something is brewing. Chinese Democracy II starts now.

Same regurgitated bullshit over and over not surprised.

Niven is a bitter wanker Inb4 everyone is outta get Axl.

Myles Kennedy

don`t even mention him again.

Amazing album better than AMLOR, The Division Bell and Dave`s solo albums combined.

Van Halen sucks, always did, what`s the problem ? Roth never could sing even in his " prime ". Axl can do much better than what he`s currently doing. That is the " tragedy ".

I couldn't give a shit. The band is all but dead anyway so what does it matter what some twat on reddit thinks?

This is spot on.

No Axl = No Guns N`Roses end of story.

I think everything he has released has been rancid.

OMG is one of the best songs in the band`s catalogue.

if you're talking about nu gnrs catalogue then sure

Lol.

OMG is one of the best songs in the band`s catalogue.

The next album ( if there is any ) should be called Stay Away From Microwaves.

GITR, Shogun Blues and So Fine were crap in 91, they were crap in 93 and they`re still crap in 2015. Slice it however you want there was n``t enough good material for 2 albums let alone 3.

Gets better and better with each episode.

DJ is so Rock`N`Roll.

Where can one find that letter?

The thought of straight men " loving" each other makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Not comfortable with your sexuality are you?

I`m very comfortable with my sexuality. It will be better if you keep your assumptions to yourself in the future.

Where is the brilliance of Shackler`s, ITW, Scraped, Rhiad and TIL ? am I missing anything ? I mean, I am pro Axl but I hate those abominations Axl can do better. Those songs are the worst his name has been attached to.

I am sorry but there is no way CD will be appreciated like Exile. No way. Exile is the Stones' magnum opus, a sprawling soulful brilliant album of boundless creativity and genius. CD is, well, CD. Shackler's Revenge and Scraped will be still as terrible in twenty years time as they are now.

Beggars, Let it Bleed. Sticky Fingers > > > > > Exile. There are too many filler fluff on Exile.

There is nowt fluffy boot Exile.

I am something of a defender of Goats Head Soup. Love that record.

Goats Head Soup is brilliant their darkest and heaviest record to date. Mick Taylor was sublime on it.
