Kill Devil Hill Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 That's true. I've only ever been on a Carrie Underwood fan site, an Iron Maiden fan site, a Bruce Dickinson fan site, a Rush fan site, and some vocalist forums, and this forum seems more open-minded than those other forums.

RocketQueen1985 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Pointless trivia: Layne Staley named the original Alice (pre-Cantrell) Alice N' Chains as a salute to Guns.Layne was also a huge Kiss fan, he said he dressed up as Paul Stanley for Halloween three years in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumikki Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I've got a serious dislike for the holier-than-thou attitude that some grunge fans have as well. But I guess it's not surprising-- people like Kurt Cobain were very vocal in their hate for all things Axl Rose, GnR and what they stood for (in his opinion). I read a whole interview with him once where he basically did nothing but bash and make fun of Axl.In general, I'd have to agree with the impression that there are way more GnR fans who like grunge than the other way round.Back on topic, I love Alice In Chains and I would love to hear Axl sing some of their songs. It's a nice thing to imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice thing to imagine I agree with the Kurt thing, many Nirvana/Kurt fans still hate Axl over something that happened back in the 90's...move on! Kurt hated a lot of people but obviously he hated himself most of all since it ended the way it did, not trashing Kurt, I love Nirvana as a teenager (still do but rarely listen to them anymore) but Kurt also hated Eddie Vedder for a while until Courtney and Dave Grohl kinda forced them together in 92 and they were friends after that.Sorry to go off topic!

Lumikki Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I actually always thought Axl and Kurt had quite a few things in common, but I guess he didn't want to see that. And heh, never heard the story about Eddie Vedder and Kurt before, so thanks. Eddie Vedder is my favorit grunge vocalist after Layne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooting Star Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'd just like to see a GnR/AIC tour. That would be AWESOME!It would be something very close to paradise for me, specially if Layne was still alive :xmassrudolph: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
