    Nirvana had such a brief run as an active band that it's hard to really place them that high. Kurt Cobain's death really elevated them to a legendary status.

    By late 1993-early 94 mainstream interest was waning a bit with Nirvana. Part of it was by design with In Utero which didn't hit nearly as big as Nevermind. Pearl Jam was arguably more popular than Nirvana by that point.

    That is so true. If Nirvana fans were more honest with themselves I think they would realize is that one of the only reasons nirvana became so huge for this long was because of the death. Imagine a new nirvana album that comes out in 1998. It would have been garbage. That band is a perfect example of right place right time. I'm gunna get flamed for this comment lmfao =]

    Unfortunately I think while GNR could have been on that tier possibly and potentially, they cannot compete with any of those bands in terms of the same league of legendary.  GNR are a huge band still, but compared to Sabbath, Queen, and Zeppelin they are akin to a small theatre band IMO

     

    Especially Zeppelin, don't get me wrong I love GNR to death but Led Zeppelin is just on another level of legendary completely and I think Axl and Slash themselves would admit such

    No artist is gunna say they are better then the bands they are influenced by and look up to. Without those bands there would be no GNR. They are a legendary rock band no question.

    I've stated this before in other threads. My opinion is that Axl should have explored different genres as a solo artist and not under the GNR name. When you think about GNR, you associate them with a hard rock sound. Right from the get go, they were known as the next Rolling Stones/Aerosmith type of band. It's ok to make  one or two songs from another genre. However, changing the sound of the band to try to fit with the times isn't good. You dilute your brand and you don't play to your strengths.  GNR should have gone on hiatus while other members of the band did their own thing for awhile. 

    I'm completely agree with that sentiment. Although I don't think they would dilute their brand. They would have had fans from every single Era. Just like how I would go get a beer during scom someone else would go piss while oh my God played. I just really hate how much material is sitting in some vault somewhere lol
