Hey

Can we all just calm down for a minute and remember that Guns N Roses weren't really all that great to begin with? I mean for every "Patience" and "Sweet Child O'Mine", there was a "Rocket Queen" or some such. Dude, they were only ever better than the other hair metal on MTV at the time. Seriously. They're not the fucking Beatles ( Read more... )

Prince's song 'Cream', on the other hand...

...actually, that was shite too. nevermind.

I'm not sure if I should give Axl props for nabbing Tommy Stintson to be in GnR version 2.0...or if I should be disappointed in Tommy Stintson for agreeing to do it. Then again, if someone wanted to pay me a 6 figure salary every year for the past 7 years to play a total of about a dozen shows, I'd probably do it in a heartbeat too. Lucky bastard.

yeah, I think his conscience is clear.

Without Izzy Stradlin, G'n'R are just an excuse to get a free Dr. Pepper.

I don't like Cream either.

s jedophile November 21 2008, 20:28:00 UTC

I like like, 3/4ths of two Cream songs and about half of another. the rest is kinda not that great. "Strange Brew" is their best song.

I remember people dissing GnR all the time in the 90s, and I thought, rightfully so. Having more artistic substance than Winger does not a great artist make. Anyway, now the same people are calling them a classic band. What?

Re: s chrisomatic November 21 2008, 20:50:18 UTC

I used to have an embarrassing desire for Kip Winger. He was so chest hair-y and none of his shirts seemed to have buttons (or laces) that started any higher than his navel.

Re: s jedophile November 21 2008, 21:08:57 UTC

I always thought he looked like a cheesy vampire, like an extra from "The Lost Boys".

I have always liked Guns n' Roses and the Cult and I enjoy Rocket Queen so I don't really have anything to change about my attitude since then. I can, however, give or take Faster Pussycat.

Yes, you're the genuine article. What I'm saying is this: if you didn't like then, what's changed now, y'know?

Re: j thejessecougar November 23 2008, 21:52:30 UTC

Agreed!

Re: j jedophile November 24 2008, 18:28:00 UTC

Hi-fives then?

When are we hanging out?

You're right about Cream, but wrong about GnR.
I hated them in the 80's, but about 5 years ago realized that Appetite IS a classic hard rock album. If you like that stuff.

G n' R are the New Order of "Metal".

When they were good, they were great, but they were mostly not that good.

As for Cream, I've always had a soft spot for Tales of Brave Ulysses, but will also readily admit that it's almost exactly the same as all of their other songs.

d jedophile November 23 2008, 18:33:26 UTC

Yeah, Tales Of Brave Ulysses, White Room, Strange Brew, and the guitar chord break that opens "I'm Free". Other than that, what is there?

I think that's a fairly good analogy for GnR.
