Guns N' Roses (Yes and Chinese Democracy, so don't make other threads on it.)

I've never understood the wonder of Axl's voice...or gimmicks.

i really couldn't care less if he was doing something or not.


now i am curious, how many original merabers are there left in the band?
 
if you look up in google you will also see that the joshua tree sold 20 million world wide (not in US alone. my mistake) while AFD sold only 17 million. AFD is also only the 23rd biggest selling album in the US of all time.
 
(scratches head), i dunno what the **** song i was thinking of. oh well, still, simplified - guns n roses better than the original
 
I think what happened was that so many genres came and went since GnR's last album - Grunge, NuMetal, RapCore - like, what do you make your next album sound like when nothing sounRAB relevant?

So obviously it's NuMetal.

I hate the one song I heard, but I'm probably going to buy the record anyways solely for its historical significance.
 
id probably buy it. and never listen to it. crazy, but i think id never forgive myself if i ddn't have it. Like 'Lies' is a shocking album, but without it, the collection just isn't complete!
 
Oh trust me, I will, this thread had me tied up the last few days but I am all Gnr'd out for now. Ill be posting in other threaRAB again.
 
. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles
2. Pet SounRAB, The Beach Boys

3. Revolver, The Beatles

4. Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan

5. Rubber Soul, The Beatles

6. What's Going On, Marvin ***e

7. Exile on Main Street, The Rolling Stones

8. London Calling, The Clash

9. Blonde on Blonde, Bob Dylan

10. The Beatles ("The White Album"), The Beatles

no bias towarRAB older albums then. God i heard OK, Computer was the greatest album of all time on a top 100 countdown so i dont listen to these ****ty rankings any more. Its all subjective there is no 'greatest' album.
 
Like I said exceeRAB means more than, 25 million is more than 17m aka exceeRAB 17 million.

Understand? I dont have to make up nurabers like you, I actually know what I am talking about.

You are a fool if you really think if AFD sold 15m in the usa that it was just barley over 17m for the world.
 
nirvana took an underground, unknown genre of music and blasted into the mainstream, changing the sound of music for the next 5 years. nevermind alone has sold 15 million copies worldwide compared to appetite for destructions 14. use your illusion comes nowhere near.
 
I think its a pretty good song, there are some faulty points such as "selling soliders in a human grocery store" but they don't hang on that line, its here and gone as fast as the song will allow and some of the stazas aren't so much poetry but heartfelt observation, almost springsteen-esque:

"Did you wear a balck arraband when they shot the man who said "peace could last forever", and in my first memories they shot Kennedy, I went nurab when I learned to see so I never fell for Vietnam gat the wall in DC to remind us all that ya can't trust freedom when its not in your hanRAB, when everbodys fightin' for the promised land and..."

I don't know, I think thats just an honest line about how [whoever wrote it] felt about the situation in 1991. The nice part is, its still relevent for as long as theres war. Someones always fighting for the cause they think is right and GnR wrote about it in a manner that wasn't too over the top but at the same time wasn't laconic in its thought and delivery.

I really like the song.
 
I don't love Bob Dylan's voice at all, now you've brought it up and I think about it... I can just about handle Blowin' In The Wind, but really, all my love for him goes to the songs he writes, not the way he sings them.
