sliverjazz Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 would anybody still care about them today?Going back to 1991, Metallica and GnR were the two biggest rock bands in the world. Since then, Metallica is preparing to release their 4th studio album....GnR = 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrjanus Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Metallica already broke up almost 2 times.and one time there were just 2 members left...so count that in.I think if they did stop making music/releasing stuff) pulling an Axl.they would be done before some people were in diapers when Axl started it all(the CD ERA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outtagetme Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I think they would because they had lots of die-hard fans pre-black album and they still play Enter Sandman a lot today. Good topic considering the Great One (and I'm not talking about Axl) hasn't released any news today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCGNR Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Axl has his fan-base and Metallica has theirsIf the fans knew that James was working on a album of new material for 10-15 years, replaced all of the originals left, yet was still keeping the name Metallica, I'm sure they'd be in the same boat we're in now ( with a little less craziness, I'm sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 It's pretty similar, Metallica only has 2 og members (James and Lars) And if you want to call Dizzy original, GNR is at 2 original members.The difference is, Axl is capable of writing material. Where as Metallica has sucked since they used up the last of Dave Mustaine's material on Master of Puppets. Kind of a sad move in it's self. You didn't see GNR releasing 2 and a half albums of songs penned entirely by Traci Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came into the band around 4-5 years after the original band formed! He wasn't even on their first album! How can you not call Kirk Hammett an original member if you call Dizzy one? And Dave Mustaine had nothing to do with Master of Puppets, get your facts straight. Jesus, GNR fans are so fucking deluded and crazy. You actually think Axl's new material is good? Pure hilarity.

Solius Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge GnR fan. My favourite rock album of all time is Appetite with the Use Your Illusions following. Two masterpieces, but GnR are no more. "Guns n Roses" haven't written anything decent and worthwhile for 14 years. 'The Blues' may be the only decent song. My gripe is the uneducated and deluded fans that think they're fans of the ultimate band. Metallica have more credibility in music in their little fingers than the embarassing turd that is Axl Rose.Who was GNR's keyboardist before Dizzy? No one. GNR's original Keyboardist was Dizzy Reed.Kirk was hired to play Dave Mustaine's parts note for note. How's that original in any sense of the word?Dave Mustaine claims he wrote a good chunk of puppets, and I'll take his word over anyone in metallica.Kirk wasn't hired to play Mustaine's parts note for note though. Hammett came in very late to record some leads that were outlined by Mustaine. Metallica's best solos are from Kirk anyway. And Mustaine has been full of complete shit for over 20 years now. Anyone with half a brain would see that. The fact is Metallica wrote Master of Puppets, just Metallica. If you were to claim Mustaine wrote it (and I don't even seem to recall Dave actually claiming he did) then I would be in the right for claiming James Hetfield wrote Rust in Peace or Appetite for Destruction. Yeah, that's how void and useless this 'belief' is. Edited August 21, 2008 by Solius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fully convinced that Metallica have written some of the best metal and rock albums ever, and still continue to be extremely successful, while GnR fade into the background and become a public embarassment. Calling yourself a fan of new GnR is so ridiculous it makes being a fan of Slipknot fine. What I say about Mustaine and Metallica is concrete fact. You're just talking out of your ass.
