Vincent Vega Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Both:-First albums (Live Like A Suicide for GN'R, Bleach for Nirvana) went largely unnoticed.-Second albums (Appetite for Destruction for GN'R, Nevermind for Nirvana) ended up changing the music industry.-Both had songs meant as jokes end up being controversial (Polly, Rape Me for Nirvana; UTLH, OIAM, Look at your game, girl- GN'R)-Both had Punk and Hard Rock influences and roots; Duff and Kurt Cobain shared a Seattle Punk heritege.-Both released highly selling, landmark (for their careers) records in September 1991-Both released stripped down EP's as stopgaps which were composed of rarities and redone songs (Incesticide featured many rare Nirvana songs, plus re-done versions of ''Downer'' and ''Polly'', Lies featured songs from their rare debut plus a remake of ''You're Crazy'')-Both released their last albums in 1993, ''TSI?'' For GN'R and ''In Utero'' for Nirvana-Both continued to make music into 1994 but broke up the same year (Nirvana's "You Know You're Right" and GN'R's cover of SFTD. Slash left GN'R in April '94.

pain cake Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 plus a remake of ''You're Crazy'')That wasn't a remake, a predominant of their songs off Appetite were done first acoustic, this was an early recording. Also you can hear how young Axl's voice sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... :xmassrudolph: "Live Like a Suicide" was a four song EP, not an album. AFD was Guns N' Roses' debut album. Likewise, Lies is also two EP's put together, not an album.

Opax Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 GNR only ever really had two albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Slash left in April '94. Read Axl's message to MTV from October '96, he says that "Outside of a week-long stint he spent jamming with Zakk Wylde in early 1995, Slash has not been involved musically with GN'R since April 1994. Slash also has not been part of the Guns N' Roses legal partnership since December 31st, 1995." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gina9 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 All girls back in the 90's where in love either with Axl or Kurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) Don't see many similarities.But try the parallels between GNR and RATM all the way through the splits and formations of AS and VR. Once Axl does get CD out, maybe it will inspire ZDLR to get his album out in the next 5-10.
