Allen8R Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Their music is nowhere near as unique as some people here make it out to be. I'm not saying it's bad. Some of it is pretty good. But I mean... it's nothing earth-shattering.Allright fuckhead, what other bands make music like TWAT, IRS and Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son Of A Gun Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think Gn'R are what Axl always wanted them to be - a perfect mix of everything... you got Robin who is from NIN but moreso even looks and plays emotionally & melodically like a 70s rocker, you got Tommy who is a punk, Richard who is more of an alternative, Bumblefoot who is a 1990s/2000s virtuoso and shredder, Brain...a skilled alternative music drummer with a combination of Steven Adler & Matt Sorum minus the drugs, Dizzy Reed...one of the most professional keyboardists, and Pittman?...hmmmm, good keyboardist and great sound designer & effectsman to say the least. And of course the head of the family...Axl, a legendary frontman who has specialised his musical career on writing superb ballads such as November Rain, Breakdown, The Blues, Catcher In The Rye & more whilst showing a genuine capability to also write more ballsy gutsy songs in the frame of It 's So Easy, Shotgun Blues, Chinese Democracy, IRS.

Patience 4 Axl Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Maybe some people don't want to admit to themselves that they're now into a Top 4o Pop Rock band. what? with a song with a 3 min solo?? yeah right.. pop.. OMG what was I thinking??? Of course the only criteria to label a band Hard Rock is that 3 minute solo! Man, that sucks for all those groups who only have a 2 min. 59 second solo. And just so we're clear, is that only a guitar solo, or can it include keyboards and special effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Roberge Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 If you go to the record stores they are under Rock. But, labels aren't for Gn'R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funeral Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) I'd say they were hard rock.I'd say they used to be hard rock.They still are! oh wait, wait.....if Slash ain't playing it....it's not good enough!

Naupis Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 They're still rock N' Roll, just a little different. Kind of like how the Chicago Bulls were still a basketball team after Jordan & Pippen left in 98. 2 players being gone didn't change the nature of the game. They have even had a few playoff seasons in that time, some success. They just haven't reached the championship level where they were once considered one of the greatest teams in history the way they were when both were still there. Pippen & Jordan went their seperate ways, both did some nice individual things along the way. But just like the franchise, neither were able to reach the levels seperately they once reached jointly. In a nutshell you have the story of Guns N' Roses. The band name, genre, and music stay the same, yet it really isn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Matt13 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Gn'R is a hard rock bandWith 3 guitars I can see how people might think that, but no.I'm still trying to figure out why this person is on here so much. If you hate and/or are so critical of GNR, why waste your life away on a GNR fan forum?Something to think about. There are more important things in life. I suggest you find them.

WiLLy"The Kid" Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) What kind of music does this band make? I mean, you take a look at all the types of music that were around and really this type of music is unique, some new category that has never been heard before....if you listen to beduins or silkworms again you'll hear such screams only when you'll be walking around some madhouse (silent-thin-high pitched voices full of pain, revenge and abstract lyrics of non-sense) ...so this must be a MENTAL/PSYCHO ROCK rock2 :xmassrudolph: Edited September 22, 2006 by WiLLy"The Kid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Axl Kev Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I think the best definition is "Crap Prog"But prog as a whole is dreadful I would say this is a Blues-Based-Heavy-Rock-Industrial band. Long but it gets the point across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I tend to think of it as more pop-rock these days. It does have various industrial elements, and slight hints of the classic rock, but the sound overall just seems more pop-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 GNR was a hard rock band, this one is something new. Just compare the leaks with AFD, big fucking difference. It will be interesting to see what the general public thinks about them, and how they will be labeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's nothing that new about them, unless you don't pay attention to other music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
