Sucks that they were only around for 5 years.
the videos are still here
>>127968952they really only had 2 album's worth of actually good musicAppetite is a 10/10 album but UYI 1&2 was majority filler and should have been a single album with all the shit tracks removed. The Spaghetti Incident had one good song that could have been part of UYIChinese Democracy should have been an Axl solo album but Axl wanted to use the GnR name to sell more, but it's not GnRSo yeah, they have Appetite and half of UYI and that's it, that's all the good songs they've got. 2 album's worth it 40 years
>>127969160nah, go with the greatest hitsguns n roses is not an album band
G N' R Lies [Geffen, 1988]Axl's voice is a power tool with attachments, Slash's guitar a hype, the groove potent "hard rock," and the songwriting not without its virtues. So figure musical quality at around C plus and take the grade as a call to boycott, a reminder to clean livers who yearn for the wild side that the necessary link between sex-and-drugs and rock-and-roll is a Hollywood fantasy. Anyway, this band isn't even sex and drugs--it's dicking her ass before you smack up with her hatpin. (No wonder they want to do an AIDS benefit.) "One in a Million"--"Immigrants and faggots/They make no sense to me/They come to our country/And think they'll do as they please/Like start some mini-Iran/Or spread some fucking disease/They talk so many goddamn ways/It's all Greek to me"--is disgusting because it's heartfelt and disgusting again because it's a grandstand play. It gives away the "joke" (to quote the chickenshit "apologies" on the cover) about the offed girlfriend the way "Turn around bitch I've got a use for you" gives away "Sweet Child o' Mine." Back when they hit the racks, these posers talked a lot of guff about suicide. I'm still betting they don't have it in them to jump. E
>>127969171But the "greatest hits" is literally just what I mentioned, most of Appetite and half of UYI and that's it
>>127969160that's still 2/2 good albums they made out of their 5 year run. UYI still had like 4-5 amazing songs on them both. In total they put out like 10 amazing songs in their 5 years. That's more than 99% of bands in their whole career.
>>127968952The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
Name a band with more testosterone in their sound. Maybe AC/DC comes close.

>>127968952True, they should have lasted at least for one more record and one more world tour, what a band these guys were...
>>127968952>>127970969their sound wouldn't have fit in with the 90's and likely would've sucked.
