Axlin08 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 117 is fucking awesome. I can't believe that it's in bargain bins across record stores now. The album OWNS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRs00ks Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'd say the Rolling Stones are probably your best bet. They're similar to GnR in quite a few ways, infact I consider GnR the Rolling Stones of the 80s-90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opax Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Okay dude, alot of people in this thread are just stating obvious big rock bands that have little or nothing in common with the GNR sound that you crave. Sadly no other band out their will fill the void GNR has left, however I got a few albums for you that might get close to the dizzying heights you require.Bad Company - Holy Water (None of the Paul Rodgers stuff this is Brian Howe howling vocals and dirty guitars all over it)Dokken - Back for the Attack (Grubby 80's Heavy Metal band in similar vain to GNR a bit darker and nastier, unsung heroes of the 80's without a doubt sold millions of albums and people still lump them in with the likes of Ratt, Warrant and Posion which they certainly are not)The Glitterati - The Glitterati (Modern English band who have unashamably ripped of the GNR sound to the extreme, it actually sounds like Slash and Duff are playing on that record, granted the singer is no Axl and leaves a lot to be desired, but check them out all the same and dream of the Top-Hatted one busting out all the wah wah lead!)

Axlin08 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Opax... dude... huh?GN'R GOT INTO THIS BUSINESS/ART because of bands like The Stones, Queen, Zeppelin, etc.And Ratt is better than Dokken by the way. Comparing Dokken to GN'R is just... dear God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Monk Time Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) If you're just looking to get into more music, you could check out the artists who GN'R covered on The Spaghetti Incident?, as well as their other albums. Since most bands like GNR - Motley Crue, Hanoi Rocks et al - suck, this would be a good place to expand your music collection if you don't know where to start.GN'R were the first band I ever really fell in love with, and listening to their influences was all I could really think of since I didn't know much about music or how to use the Internet to download albums particularly well then, but it helped improve my knowledge and tastes in music. Johnny Thunders' So Alone, The Stooges' Raw Power, T.Rex's The Slider and The Damned's Damned Damned Damned are highly recommended; although not too similar to GN'R, you can definitely see that they took a lot from these artists for Appetite.

Calm Like A Bomb Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Def Leppard: High N Dry. This album is definately worth buying. Just over 25 years old and it still has an amazing sound to it. Switch is a kick ass instrumental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing Dokken to GN'R is just... dear God.Yeah well I was just trying to point him down a different path, I'm sure he already knows about LZ, Stones and Queen, so I'm trying to let him no about bands that sound like GN'R (to a degree) not bands that GN'R got inspiration from (who also don't necessarily sound anything like GN'R) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The Glitterati - The Glitterati (Modern English band who have unashamably ripped of the GNR sound to the extreme, it actually sounds like Slash and Duff are playing on that record, granted the singer is no Axl and leaves a lot to be desired, but check them out all the same and dream of the Top-Hatted one busting out all the wah wah lead!)Holy crap I wouldn't be surprised if these guys wrote their songs while listening to Contraband, it's so so similer. They are like VR-lite. VR with less talent, they aren't awful but. They even look like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
