Unforgiven II might be able to challenge the original, but no way on earth is unforgiven III a better song than The Unforgiven. Not even close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for me personally GNR has a lot more material to offer. But you're right they treat their fans way better. You migh enjoy some of their load/reload era if you prefer a more rock sound. For me Metallica and GNR are my favourites, and if GNR had more records maybe they'd be my number 1 but Metallica has more records and a better streak of great albums (few not so great also). But just like GNR they are not for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they have a solid collection of songs that always sound good live. I have seen Metallica countless times over the years. Far better show than GNR has been in ions.

Night and day difference. Metallica shows are actually enjoyable even when James’ voice strains. Granted, Axl’s songs are infinitely harder to sing. But the general atmosphere and interaction and energy during Metallica shows are second to none. Much better merchandise as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoy Gn'R being compared to the RHCP. The contrast between what they do and Axl doesn't do is a thrill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Why are we always comparing to a shit band like Metallica? Who cares how often they take a dump? Let's compare to The Beatles instead! Why can Guns N' Roses release four records in two years as Beatles did? Why? Why? Why? WHY?? *whine and complain a bit more* 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 But seriously, why can't GN'R be as prolific as Sun Ra? He released up to 159 albums. Why can't we have that?! Why should the fans of Sun Ra (assuming there is any) have so much more than us? Why? Why? Why oh why!? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key problem with CD is that it's overproduced/cluttered so addressing that would be great. A huge CD fan, but the remixes were pretty dire.
