No way!! He was just too feminine onstage , with the body language and his gay persona...gayness and rock n roll don`t go along well ....

Probably one of the stupidest things ever written on this forum.

pretty sure that should earn him a ban...just sayin

You can say whatever you want but generally speaking pretty much 3 things must happen in order to make a band/artist mainstream , sell millions of records or its millennial equivalent (itunes , spotify , pandora , yt views i`m sure they`ll find a way to count torrent downloads as well....)

1. Spend serious money for promotion wheather you are rich and you can afford to do it yourself (paul allen) or David Geffen does that for you it doesn`t matter.

2. You need a hit , something that wins the minds and the hearts of potential fans right of the bat

3. People should be able to identify themselves in the artist , its music and his behaving in general , ideally even in a sexual way (female audience today very important , bieber is gayer than Mercury but he`s essentially banking and banking hard on female audiences never targeted before in such an aggressive way - great marketing work btw-

4. Tour , being able to at the very least replicate what you did on the album in a consistent manner , plus being an energetic motherfucker on cocaine while on stage won`t hurt.

Now I can`t identify myself with this

It`s not homophobia or queenphobia I wouldn`t be able to identify myself with this either

I sort of accepted with Axl just because he behaved like a motherfucker on cocaine while on stage plus having immediate access to the latter shows also played a part in this.

Even Slash expressed the same concept in different occasions over time :

``SCOM is the gayest song you could write``

``November Rain is a gay song``

``We were different from Poison and all the other gay bands``

``When I auditioned with Poison they were much more interested in what kind of shoes i`d wear , the whole spandex , makeup gay shit was going on in LA back then``

``Motley Crue was the original , all the other bands felt sort of gay``

``Glee is worse than Grease and Grease is bad enough . I look at Grease now and think, Between High School Musical and Glee, Grease was a work of art

``"I never played on (Black Or White'). If you listen to (the hook), that's gay. I'd never play that."

Once again I have nothing against homosexual people , but then again it`s me and my opinion as a `` buyer`` or a music consumer if you will ... when i think of rock n roll i think ACDC , Pantera , Metallica , Megadeth , Led Zeppelin , Black Sabbath , Frank Zappa , Hendrix , SRV , Zakk Wylde , Randy Rhoads with Ozzy , Gojira , Klevertak , Jeff Beck , Cream , Alter Bridge Buddy Guy , BB King (RIP) , DIO , Alice in Chains , Pearl Jam ,Wolf , Deep Purple , UFO , Pink Floyd , Free , RATM , Sepultura , Avenged Sevenfold , Dylan , Cheap Trick ...........and obvously GnR

Freddie Mercury over Steven Tyler.

No Freddy?

Freddie Mercury over Steven Tyler.

No way!! He was just too feminine onstage , with the body language and his gay persona...gayness and rock n roll don`t go along well ....at the end of the day when you`re up there performing before a major audience behaving like a straight alpha male is just as important as the music , I mean that`s just another reason why I liked the original GnR in the first place , Slash jumpin 10 feet ramps and axl runnin like hell ( when on top of their game they didn`t even mess up the songs in the process)
