arnold layne Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Izzy is a better singer, songwriter, musician than Axl Rose, and Axl was the least talented person in the band behind Steven Adler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Axl will forever own his haters by getting them to take time out of their day to whine about him on a forum. That bold enough?No, that actually is said fairly often around here.Isn't everything that's been said so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's a miracle that one in a million didn't ruin Axl's career, and he would have deserved it. Same goes for the domestic abuse cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl8302 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Izzy Stradlin was the heart and soul of GNR and it was never going to work without himIt was "make one statement" how many do you intend to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bards Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 When a movie about Guns N' Roses is finally made, the later years will be far closer to Spinal Tap than some people will be comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 One in a million is one of the best songs ever. I love it.Axl Rose has the most awesome sounding vocal in music, PERIOD. Catcher in the rye outclasses so many old songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdHeartBreaker Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Izzy may have been an integral part of GnR but when he was on stage he looked shy, a bit awkward and needed more presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisRoyalSweetness Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) axl rose would have gone to jail for abusing women and starting fights if he wasn't rich and famous. axl wouldn't be rich and famous if izzy didn't write songs for him and slash didn't perform them.if izzy and slash hadn't been so good at what they did, axl would have gone to jail.

Graeme Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Ron Thal is the best (most naturally talented and learned) musician who has ever played in Guns N Roses. I actually do mean that one, as a guitar player I look at the guy's capability and knowledge and it's almost disheartening because he was better at age 12 than I am after nearly 10 years of playing.

TeeJay410 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 On the one in a million point again, that moment was one of the first instances and possibly the entire turning point in the band as far as the band, specifically slash, showing no back bone and the label being yes men to Axl.

Apollo Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I've always thought Paradise City is the most overrated GnR song. Like somebody else mentioned - it is the one song that would fit from any hair metal band.I love Axl's high pitched mickey mouse voice.With different lyrics, One In A Million could have been one of the most popular hits of all time.Civil War is the best GnR song of all time.Izzy is a great song writer............but he isn't the musical savior some people make him out to be. He also wrote a lot of terrible songs.CD is a better album than either Illusion. Not a combined Illusions, but each individual Illusion.

He wasn't exactly a bum beforehand, fair enough what he was doing wasn't exactly at GN'R level of fame, but plenty of musicians are able to make a living without being megastars and if you think it's always the most talented who make the public eye, you're seriously mistaken. If you think he's in it for the money, I'm not going to convince you that he's not in it for the money so much as the love of playing in a big band and reaching out to a lot of people, but that's the truth regardless of what you think about the man.

Jakey Styley Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The newer bands perform Nightrain and Paradise City the best.Buckethead leaving was the final blow to GNR's chances at great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Axl was a brilliant frontman from 86-92, but he never was and never will be a great or important songwriter/musician. The UYI records are mostly filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Axl Rose(1986 - 1993) was the greatest frontman of all time. Axl Rose 2000 - present is an embarrassment and a fuckin' joke.My bold statement right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
