Luckily it's all public information on Spotify, so I checked. This Ensiferum band, (which apparently comes from my own country and I still haven't heard of it ) only has like 220 853 monthly listeners. So Metallica with it's 11 145 893 listeners and Foo Fighters with it's 9 137 183 listeners surely should be on the list. GNR does beat both though with it's 13 917 382 monthly listeners. GNR beats U2 also but Ensiferum obviously does not.

But GNR is not the most streamed current rock band IF you count Coldplay with it's 30 979 669 listeners or Red Hot Chili Peppers with it's 16 213 489 listeners. And if you count old bands, The Beatles beats GNR. The Rolling Stones does not.

To sum it all up, here's the bands I've mentioned here in order of monthly listeners:

1. Coldplay

2. The Beatles

3. Red Hot Chili Peppers

4. Guns N' Roses

5. The Rolling Stones

6. U2

7. Metallica

8. Foo Fighters

9. Ensiferum

Since always according to Wikipedia.
