default_ Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Out of the obvious and popular ones... Some Hanoi Rocks Stuff, Danger Danger, Poison, some Cinderella, Tesla, Mr. Big, Warrant, Ratt, The Cult album "Electric" has some amazing hard rock on it, WASP, and so on.

Cheese metal garbage by posers. The grunge bands had way more in common with Guns than these poofters. I agree, cmon guys bands like Dangerous Toys that obviously had the guy channeling Axl way too fucking hard, and Danger Danger wtf? Might aswell name Poison then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think about White Trash though? Ever heard of them? They were my first choice. I linked some of their songs on the first page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliff Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Axl isn't exactly the most original frontman himself. I heard Richard on a podcast recently and he's still mad about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll take it for a spin on the turntable later. "Still Live and Dangerous" is even better as it came from the two 77 Philly Tower Theater shows and is not all stepped on in the studio with overdubs and redone vocals.. https://www.amazon.com/Still-Dangerous-Tower-Theatre-Philadelphia/dp/B001QWDTUY/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1471212624&sr=1-1&keywords=thin+lizzy+still+dangerous Also recommend this offical Lizzy live from 1975. Very raw and you can see the Robbo/ Gorham band in its infancy https://www.amazon.com/UK-Tour-75-Thin-Lizzy/dp/B001BS4R9A Edited August 14, 2016 by classicrawker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 This is a late 80's band that featured Gary Sunshine on guitar who I believe worked with Axl for a short period of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offtopic but Poison did actually get kinda gritty when CC Deville left the band and Richie Kotzen and Blues Saraceno replaced him. Both those albums Native Tongue and Crack A Smile are way more listenable than the 80s fluff they made and actually could be called hard rock. Good 2 albums.

Some recommendations: Steelhearts Tangled In Reins album. That's pretty much as GNR-sound like as you could get for an album, very underrated imho, one of the last good hard rock albums from the era before Grunge. Giants Time To Burn, Great Whites Hooked aswell as Psycho City (they were label mates with GNR), Mr. Bigs Lean Into It, all 3 Burning Rain albums and all Thunder albums (especially Laughing On Judgement Day). Dude tangled in reins is a fuckin great record. Matijevics vocals are insane. One of my favorite hard rock records of all time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpax Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I hear some Lynyrd Skynyrd influence in GnR. And I remember that Ugly Kid Joe and Mr. Big were GnR-like in the early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Money Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Lots of suggestions to work through. Thanks everybody!

Without a doubt in the top 3 live acts I've seen perform!! I wish they were still a band, but Alex (the trumpet player) has a band called the Skullx, who are basically the Foxy Shazam spinoff.

gnfnrs1972 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Seether is my favorite newer hard rock band. Probably not GNR influenced at all but have a great catalog imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

default_ Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Oh, wow. So, theres ppl here who actually believes that MUSICALLY grunge is the closest genre to GNR? Wow. As a fact we will never see a band that does the same thing as GNR 'cause they are a huge mix between all the shit they got influences from, from Rolling Stones, Queen and Elton John to Led Zeppelin, Hendrix and Thin Lizzy, what they did no one else did, but they are way closer to hard rock and heavy metal than alternative rock. Alternative rock is a different kind of beast and musically it has nothing to do with GNR music. Not even the poppiest of their songs. Different personalities, Different ideologies, different perspectives of the world, different market, different MUSIC. GNR is Rock N' Roll, grunge is something else.
