Musically, what was the best era of GN'R

[wasted]

91

[Silent Jay]

2014?

[One.In.A.Million]

Had to go with 2006-7 again, the band truely reached it's peak at this point which resulted in the flawless 20.20.06 show.

Perfection...

[Bobbo]

87-93

[Tom2112]

Well It's worded poorly, musically 1987 to 1993 was Guns best years... as they released classic material we all love.

Old guns sounded the best in maybe 92' 93' still going for it, but with a huge production and a better level of playing ability to 87-89.

I'm not going to compare old and new Guns... we did it yesterday anyway!. Old is what I grew up on, the old is firmly in my heart never to be beaten, I have accepted the new band graciously but I do not think of them as the same band, just the same name.

New era, 2009-2010 is the best performance wise. Axl sounded better in 2006 but the band just didn't sound like they had gelled, like in 2009. I thought the 01-02 band sounded like a bad cover band... not just the vocal. They were way! under rehearsed - too loose for stadiums, maybe ok for smaller clubs and bowling alleys. Some fantastic musicians in that time namely; Buckethead and Josh Freese, but they were not a unit and they didn't sound convincing on stage.

UYI era.

May be alone on this, but I think those albums blow away Appetite....and I like Apettite.

JMO

[Axl_morris]

Uyi

A lot of creativity And axl pushes himself to his limits.

Appetite is great but its a very straight forward album.

[Bicem]

1988.

[batman007]

2002. The year they should of, could of, would of.

[DieselDaisy]

Why are people choosing years like '2002' and '2006' when the band released fuck all? When did the 2006 band release an album as good as Appetite? Never.

[TeeJay410]

I think they wrote some of their best songs ever on UYI, but either the obnoxious production took away their power (right next door to hell, garden of Eden) or you were forced to wade through too many horrible songs.

[J Dog]

AFD. I love that acoustic sound from Lies though.
