Karice Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Multiple Fans have said they think that GNR should have been a one album wonder, and just had Appetite For Destruction Album as their sole album, a one album hit wonder. I remember on the now Defunct Guns N'Roses Fan Website they also said that. I remember posting something like,"How could you guys think that GNR should have had only AFD Album as their sole album? There'd be no Patience, no Coma, no November Rain, no Perfect Crime, no IRS, etc, if AFD were the sole album. The reply was something like,"And that's a BAD thing? GNR went downhill fast after AFD. There would have been no going down if AFD was the sole album. That Website soon went Defunct. I don't think GNR should have only had AFD Album as a sole album. We would have missed out on a lot of good songs if AFD was the sole album. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Free Bird Posted November 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2022 Karice, look... on the internet you'd find people say the sky is green and the sea red. Don't give a fuck. You gave the answer yourself. While they had worldwide success with their records, especially with AFD and both UYI's, I think it's pretty save to say they can't be just one album wonders... But obviously there are people who don't like more than one record. Some people might only like CD... that doesn't mean the band shouldn't have released all previous records. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightrain7 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 No offence, but what a fucking pointless topic. GN'R stops when they want to fucking stop. we can choose to listen/ follow or not.  There is no 'should have' it's not our livelihood or our business. It's their right to do artistically what ever they want for as long as they want. Don't like it? vote with your pocket and move onto something else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 ‘86-‘93 was a classic if cautionary rock n roll tale. GNR needed the UYI era and tour (as well as surviving grunge by refusing to bow to it) to secure its legendary status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-p-d-a Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Why stop with bunch of new material? Makes no sense Although I could well imagine Axl Rose in the theater as a musical stage actor in the 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merryfnchristmas Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I'm definitely an AFD guy. And for them to go one and done and call it quits in 88 would have been incredible. But...even if the music doesn't resonate with me as much, I wouldn't want to miss Lies, the UYI saga, TSI, the whole batshit Chinese period... I'd even miss the madness of spending seven years checking daily to see if the obscenely well resourced rock band known as Guns N Roses have bothered to record even. one. measly. fucking. song?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR needed the UYI era and tour (as well as surviving grunge by refusing to bow to it) to secure its legendary status. Yeah, I agree that the stuff after AFD helped cement them into legendary status. AFD was very cool and amazing and put GnR up there, and the UYI followup kept them there and blazed them even bigger. Plus it's cool to have those UYI music videos. And dolphins!  I think the entire story of Guns N' Roses wouldn't be the same without all the stuff that happened after AFD. There's something opulent, strange, fascinating, about the band and its history. Axl and everyone else in the band splitting up or adding new members to the band, Axl in hiding, Guns N Roses coming back with a whole bunch of new members and probably bewildering the public, Velvet Revolver, taking ages to do Chinese Democracy and the anticipation for its release, the release of Chinese Democracy and Axl trying to fly with the new band and album, but it wasn't taking off massively compared to previous entries in GnR, then the grand reunion with some of the old members after being told it won't happen in Axl's lifetime, being on a really really long tour and only releasing Absurd and Hardskool, the massive Chinese Democracy Leaks. I really want to see what's next in the story of Guns N Roses!  If GnR split up straight after AFD, what would have even happened anyway? Everyone goes solo? The members all join different bands? Some of the former members are together in their own band, and some of the others are solo or joined other bands? I wonder how musical history would have been affected if the members of GnR dispersed and entered other bands... If GnR split up after AFD because the members died from drugs or suicide attempts or got killed, that would've been really depressing. People would always be wondering "what if"? Plus if GnR ended after AFD, so many people would be going "hey that one album was so awesome, why'd you guys split up!?" I'm glad we get to live in the situation where we get to hear what comes after AFD!  Edited November 21, 2022 by BucketEgg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
