Kickingthehabit Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Songs like 'Beggars & Hangers On', 'Be the Ball' and 'Serial Killer' wipe the floor with all of the current leaks..-Kickingthehabit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carne_asaDA Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Do you really think that if Appetite was released this day and age, it would be a huge success like it was in the 80's???? Yes.The fact that AFD continues to sell more than 3,000 copies a week in the U.S. alone (according to Nielsen Soundscan) proves the music is timeless. How many albums do you know that continue to sell that many copies a week almost 20 years after their release?It has the fame and legacy behind it now though. I very much doubt that, as great as AFD is, if it came out in this day and age it would be regarded so highly. It's one of those albums which was out at the right time and just connected with the era. The impact today would be significantly less, I think.There have been albums that have came out since 1987 that are musically better than AFD, but have not had the impact on music. Why?? Because it all depends on the state of the music industry. Like I said Right Time, Right Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsnrosesrfreak Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 VR did not take 10+ years to make an album simple because of the fact that they were formed only in 2003..they got scott in 2003 i think so technically tats jus one year to make an album not 10if VR is GNR,as some people like to say,why arent they popular as in 80s n' 90s & have huge hits like in 80s n' 80s ?talent didnt go nowhere,right?please explain. well....some people say VR is more GNR of today,that axl&others are GNR.....get that?thats because slash&duff are there.we cant count matt,because people say axl is the only one in gnr today, from old crew,but if you count matt in VR,than you have to count dizzy in todays gnr,right?and I'm wondering,why arent they mega popular as they used to be,since they are more gnr than todays acctual gnr?wait I'm confuzed right now ,I dont really know how to explain my point @manson : axl is axl.those years probably helped him to solve problems n shit.dont know what to say....lets focuse on today.today is for tommorow.past was for today.matt sorum was recognized as a member of gnr as he was simple replacin steven whilst dizzy was not replacin anyone.the original gnr line up did not have any keyboardists, maybe thats the reason..

Revolver Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 hey Slash's Snakepit was some fucking great album... maybe exept the singer on It's Five O'Clock Somewhere but still fucking awesome music, Izzy's albums kicks ass and Gilby's stuff as well... I didn't like Duff's stuff, exept there were two songs I like from Duff, Punk Rock Song and Shining Down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridayfan13 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) i just cant wait for CD to hit store shelves, then i wont have to read all these posts saying that VR is so great. when Chinese Democracy hits, VR will be history(oh yes, they will still release material, but it wont sell half as good as anything Axl releases) Edited June 29, 2006 by fridayfan13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
