DieselDaisy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Comedian.Diesel, you often intrigue me and frustrate me in equal measures. I mean, there must be a reason you frequent a GNR board daily and not a Stones board? When will you shake the obviously deep-roted, hipster shame you feel about loving this band? You're here, you're queer (for GNR), get used to it.Hey, I've pulled some good bootlegs from IORR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocArunas Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) They really should be careful not to make this look like a big cashgrab thing though. The rumoured prices for the shows and tickets and now this. This is Stones money. And as much as I love GnR... they are not the Stones. Fuckin' Right they're not the Stones, THEY'RE BETTER!Came to say this, anyone who disagrees can just go %%%%. If they dont agree I dare them to name at least 5 or 10 memorable songs and sing along to at least 2 of them. Yeah... that's too hard right? Never got the reason they are/were "big" Edited January 6, 2016 by DocArunas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff can leave a lot of people with a faul taste in their mouths. No, not you, of course.

The rumoured prices for the shows and tickets and now this. This is Stones money. And as much as I love GnR... they are not the Stones. Fuckin' Right they're not the Stones, THEY'RE BETTER!Good joke kid. Seriously though, even a full-scale GnR reunion isn't as big as the biggest rock band in the world. You can deny that all you want, but you'd quite simply be wrong. It has nothing to do with who you like better. Kid? I'll be fuckin' 29 in 2 weeks! But you're right I wouldn't know anything about older music, I only have Elvis Fuckin' Presley as my avatar pic (and yes that his official name cuz he's The KING). I'm sorry that more girls wanna get laid to "Rocket Queen" than "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", The Stones are good, but they're nowhere near GNR. Theres so much more musical depth and talent on any song on any GNR album minus the song My World. Guitar wise, GNR runs circles around the stones. Being around a million years doesn't make you good, the Rolling Stones were called the Rolling Bones back when I was in school 20 years ago.When someone said the Stones were bigger than GNR, I thought they were talking about Mick Jaggers Mouth!Sometimes showing your Guns N' Roses pride on this forum makes you feel as if you shouted white power in a black neighborhood while burning 10 crosses. Whats up with that? is it in fine print here that this is really an anti GNR site? Edited January 6, 2016 by SlashElvisTCB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a Stones fanboy.By the way, There goes that sellout argument again, as I said elsewhere on this forum, anybody would take the cash these guys are being offered, its pure selfishness not to! they all have family, friends & loved ones who can benefit from it, why be a bitter selfish old man and not take it? Plus if they really hate the cash so much they could donate it to charity and be a boss. I thought you Kurt Cobain hippies were supposed to be all about love and peace and mary jane chilling? instead all you "true to yourself" grunge hipsters bitch about money but sure love talking about it.Anyone in the position to grab that money would take it and don't you deny you wouldn't take it either!. I'd advertise penis pumps if it put food on the table for my family & friends, so whats wrong with somebody putting their differences aside to make people happy while making a buck? that's capitalism at its finest, and everybody wins. No wonder Kurt killed himself, he found out it was impossible to not "sellout" that's at least what the Nirvana fans would like to think.

Strange Broue Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) No, please not another Stones vs, GNR debate....just noBtw This is laughable: The Stones are good, but they're nowhere near GNR. Theres so much more musical depth and talent on any song on any GNR album minus the song My WorldThis just shows that you know nothing about what's behind the music or what "musical depth" meansOther than this, Stones are here since 1962 and they've made tons of albums with tons of fillers and tons of hits....The comparison is laughable and Axl will probably laugh at your face and Izzy will spit on your face...There's a reason why they did covers about Jumping Jack Flash, Wild Horses, SFTDOh and i like GNR more than the Stones Edited January 6, 2016 by Strange Broue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GNR were together since the 60s they'd have endless songs as well, quality over quantity. I'm not denying they didn't have a good contribution to music, but what I'm saying is song structure in GNR is light years ahead of the stones, if you quit being a lazy arse and picked up a musical instrument you'd concur that learning Stones songs vs learning a GNR song is much easier and much more boring. Keith couldn't polish Slash's guitar strap and that's FACT, I know the guys would be humble and deny they are better but I'll say what needs to be said, GNR for the win!.http://tsort.info/music/faq_album_sales.htmGNR at #21 all time and The Stones at #75 all time for best album vs best album. I win. Plus GNR has the Illusions albums at #116 & #146 waaay ahead of the stones next best effort at #216. Don't let personal opinions get in the way of facts my good sir.

DieselDaisy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) The ironic thing is, Guns N' Roses themselves would not agree, about them being anywhere near the same level as The Stones - Izzy, Slash and Gilby especially (all Stonesholics). There is no greater evidence of this than the amount of Stones songs covered by Guns N' Roses: 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'; 'Sympathy for the Devil'; 'Dead Flowers'; 'Wild Horses'.

Don't let personal opinions get in the way of facts my good sir.I don't want to further derail this thread, but...1. "If"'s do not exist in reality, sorry2. Without the Stones ,you would not have GNR. its that simple3. song structures? it's just mainly power chords in a good combination (sans some of the guitar solos) You certainly have not heard great jazz records, or technical metal stuff for example4. Keith came from a musical athmosphere where techincal guitar playing was not a big thing. He came from a time where rock n' roll wasn't even fully born yet...5. Slash or Izzy aren't guitar afficionados either. In this New GNR versions, you could see MILES better players than Slash or Izzy.... i would say all of them are great players (except DJ Ashba)6. and fucking Michael Jackson is the first on that list . AC/DC is the 6th. Now, go and tell me about technicality. You do realise that Stones album is a Greatest Hits compilation, right? Personal opinions get in the way of facts?
