sabre Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Pfff, guns are probably the biggest band to have influenced next to no-one.Slash is a great guitar player, but not particularly inventive, hes like jeff beck on speed, and not very influential in this day and age.The stuff about basslines is embarassing, go get a reality check.

JAC185 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Pfff, guns are probably the biggest band to have influenced next to no-one.Thats a really good point. How many bands now seem influenced by GNR. Its probably coz they ended hair metal and then grunge came along and started a million bandsMaybe its also because new bands seem to get more respect by being compared to Aerosmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedthoughts Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'd have to agree with Johnezz here, except for what he said about Sorum - to me, he sounds like a stock session player and nothing more. Booooring!The thing that Slash was good at was bringing blues/rock into mainstream again. It was nothing new, but just wasn't being done much back then. He brought a bit of integrity back to guitar playing amidst a sea of shred crazy EVH wannabes.And although Izzy was never really an amazing guitarist, I always liked his style and how it fitted with Slash's. Punchy stacatto chords for rhythm with legato phrases played over the top courtesy of Slash. What a great mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash is defantly good, not the greatest though.Slash never had the feeling Stevie Ray Vaughn had or has.Slash does however play great laidback solos. But his fast stuff is at best OK. How many songs besides YCBM did really Slash excell with with mean guitar skills?That is when it comes to playing mean fast. The rest of the stuff is just good. Not superb.There are better riffmakers in the industry. Slash stole the well known Paradise City riff, and there aren´t any other riffs that have landed him any fame besides SCOM. That happened to be a BALLADE. Let´s face it, slash is a soft rocker heheIzzy is a great songwriter, not a player. He could make the melodies and some chord progressions to go along. Duff indeed was just an OK bass player at the best.Not to sound like an idiot, But Axl is the guy who made the band. Even though he was offpitch 80% of all the time while singing. He made his way with attitude, style and being the true rock n roll God that he was.Sorum was an anchor who made it all come true. Adler was prolly more on the feeling side. He wasn´t as tight and "good" as Sorum.But sorum had a hefty sound with alot of balls to it. Though in many ppls eyes he was a bit boring at times.Sorum was a healthy addition to GNR.

I think they were one of the few 80s hair metal bands who made it out of the decade having got credibility in mainstream rock. One of the very few.And maybe they have had more of a delayed impact on the music scene. It may just be my imagination, but there seem to be lots more up and coming bands at the moment noting GN'R among their major influences.
