Len Cnut Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I dunno how amazing it is, i mean its a massive song from a big band thats out there for free that anyone of the billions of people among the world with internet access and click on and watch for free, there's loadsa shit out there with a fuckload of views. I mean if you really think about it, like taking myself as an example, if i look back, how many times have i listened to...I dunno, November Rain or SCOM or Welcome to the Jungle...100s of times is a very conservative estimate I reckon. And I'm just one fan who don't even like...particularly like em much anymore, there are people out there who are absolutely mental about GnR.

default_ Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) If any of you think GNR or any other rock band can release an "iconic" or "timeless" song on this era of music beware: You are clearly delusional. No matter if they put another Sweet Child, Paitience, November Rain or Estranged, it'll never hit the masses again, that era is gone.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams or something like that from the mid 00s I guess. Can't think of anything newer than 10 years Edited December 15, 2017 by Nicklord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not going to be very popular here the way your talking down to us. I was purely having a civil conversation here and every member knows that I am very cordial and polite in my friendly conversations. None of us have issues with differing opinions but rather the ways that the individual presents them. No disrespect but there’s no need to be upset with the members here since we just were trying to have a friendly conversation. I'm not concerned with being popular here. I just think it's funny this place is a fan forum and largely can't accept the facts and achievements from the "hardcore" fans. November rain and that "dumb" video this place bashes will be over a billion views soon, let that sink in. Lmao at the dude who says "Blvd of broken dreams" is iconic. Anyone into punk knows that band has zero credibility. To the dude who says I've got a "skewed" perception... I've been visiting and reading here since 2000/2001 right before I bought the VHS tape of Rio with GNR. It's been a bash fest here day in and day out year after year so don't tell me it's not. I just think it's wierd how people can hate yet still visit here daily. Edited December 15, 2017 by Order of Nine Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) When I was a knee-high I had my guitar teacher show me the outro to NR. He insisted I play it in first position. What kinda bullshit is that?!?! Me and my pawn shop Kramer strutting down the hallway/"dessert" ready to rock the solos out front of "the chapel in the middle of no where" / the bathroom. Pulled my groin more than once striking that pose, Im sure. lol Edited December 15, 2017 by soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering only Rock Bands there's no one close to that. Numb - Linkin Park - 893 mi Zombie - Cranberries - 738 mi Teen Spirit - Nirvana - 725 mi Chop Suey! - SOAD - 715 mi Then we get back to GNR with SCOM - 691 mi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
