T.wa.T Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hey Marc,Can you tell us about some other bands that were competing with Guns at the time? I know GnR hated the hair bands, but who were some of the bands that they got along with?Did you guys have the same group of freinds, outside of the clubs?Did those bands get jealous that GnR was getting major attention?What happened to the club scene after GnR took off, why did it die so fast?Thanks.

recklessroad Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 They got along with Jetboy until they fired Todd. LA Guns and Faster Pussycat were competing with them but were no match. Everyone knew that GNR were the best. I think when GNR hit it big in 1988 there was some jealousy. After that everything went hair metal and it sucked so thats why it died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yeah, I remember seeing Steve Pearcy from RATT, saying how everything was going good for them, then all the sudden Guns came along and buried everyone. He was cool about it though, lol.I think its great how Guns kind of exposed the other bands as being fake or being non original. Although I do like some songs from alot of the LA bands, I just didnt care for all the make up and posing, ala Poison or Warrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I know they hated Poison. Also Axl promoted Faster Pussycat; he got them the slot on GN'R's UK tour in 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Faster Pussycat is close to Guns image wise, and they have a few cool songs. House of Pain is good.Cinderella was ok. I'm drawing blanks here. I can't think of any bands for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
