Tman5293 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm under the assumption that this forum doesn't look to kindly on them. IMO the original GNR was great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpmAY059TTY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w7OgIMMRc4 Any fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Axl's vocals make my ears bleed, but I have no problems with the other areas of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yea... decent band... bad singer. I had Appetite when it came out but it got old fast. I still like this one though. Axl does a lot less scroteling (rimes with yodeling) on this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVYDnQwi3OQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I've always thought he had a very original sound to his voice. Anyway I really like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRIbf6JqkNc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne14t? Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Great band but overrated due to crap like Guitar Hero. I enjoy the music but the whole obsession with Slash I do not understand, he has some great hook riffs but thats about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Are Axl's vocals really that bad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRIbf6JqkNc Yes... can't stand his singing. Won't listen to "Don't Cry" if he's singing it which makes it hard for me to honestly judge the song on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enmitygauged Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 My Childhood there were kids that fit into 3 types of music Boy bands, GNR and Metallica. Thank god for the last two. I had an my son in the car the other day (he's 14) I had on ONE by Metallica. I mentioned that as a kid I listened to this song when I was around his age. IM 35 now so its about right. He made the comment as he listens to all the same music from my childhood."dad could you imagine me sitting in the car with my son 20 years from now and listening to music from this generation." and then he quickly added by singing Jason Derulo!! I still laugh at the thought. But its true there isnt a lot of music you could say now days would be Classics like Use your Illusion 1 and 2 appetite for destruction. GNR deserve their place in rock history as the band that saved rock from Bands Like Poison, Ugly Kid Joe, ballad bands like Bon Jovi and Extreme.

Versatile Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Personal opinion I always thought them to be overated...part of that overblown stadium rock thing from the 80's and 90's Slash is OK IMO but unworthy of the adolescent hero worship heaped upon him....

Man If I could play what he plays or sell as many albums I'd be a happy/rich man. I admit some of the guitar god status that he gets is a bit much. But the dude is good at what he does no doubt.

EVOL! Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 You guys don't know nothing. AFD is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Right up there with Back In Black and Electric Warrior. Even with the yawn inducing drum parts of Adler, the groove and style of the original Gn'R is off the chart. Plus it is hard to match the chemistry and songwriting juggernaut that Slash and Izzy were. I like Lies, but a lot of UYI 1 and 2 I just couldn't get into. Axl ruined the records with too much keyboard orchestration. Nothing wrong with that unless you are a two guitars, bass, and drums band. It muddies the waters.

Kimbabig Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 All kidding aside I think GnR is a good band, I never cared for Axl's vocals, but I didn't hate them. and I think Slash is a good guitarist, but certainly not the god status he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This_Dying_Soul Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I was a huge GNR fan back in the 80's and 90's. Slash was and still is a personal favorite of mine. No he may not be playing anything mind blowing on the level of Steve Vai or John Petrucci or Buckethead; but he has a very unique sound that is instantly recognizable. I would dare to say he's comparable to Keith Richards or Jimmy Page - a unique style and sound that is instantly recognizable but not necessarily the best technical player. His playing is just full of attitude much like Page and Richards Axle, to me was a good singer up to the recording of the Use Your Illusions albums; but I don't feel he took good care of his voice. He burned out his vocal cords. Ever hear any of the live stuff from after the first year of touring behind UYI 1 & 2? Sounds like someone stuffed a cheese grater down his throat. When he tried to make his big comeback with this new group he pawns off as GNR, there is a night and day difference between his voice during the classic era and now. I can't even stand his voice on Chinese Democracy while I love his voice on recordings of the early 90's and back. And while I like Bumblefoot and I like Buckethead and don't dispute that he has surrounded himself with some of the best in the business for a band, it's NOT GNR.
