Any uncs here who can comment on how these were received at release? Seems like it would be Star Wars prequel tier jarring to the pre-existing fanbase.
boomers were losing their virginities to this
>>132106705boomers grew up during the 70s
>>132106712who said boomers can’t be virgins till the 80s
It was basically the epilogue of hair metal. Literally a year after it was released people considered GnR as corny and obsolete as Motley Crue at that time
Nowhere near the impact as Appetite, although Nov Rain was huge. Live & Let Die kind of a big hit; and the uplugged version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door rode the wave of the MTV Unplugged movement.
>>132106667The shitty white trash plebs loved it you shitty white trash pleb.
>>132106667it was essentially all of 80s hair metal distilled into a sleek lean package at the tail end of the era. gnr really don't get the credit they deserve at how insane they were at songwriting.
>>132106728>till the 80s>albums came out in the 90s
>>132106667DOUBLE TALKIN' JIVE GET THE MONEY MOTHERFUCKER...
i too am tired of calling everyone over 40 a boomer it's confusing
it’s ironic that gnr is known as hard rock but all of their biggest hits are glam metal esque ballads
>>132106728boomers lost their virginities at 13-14 in the school bathroom or to their babysitter. the incel phenomenon didn't exist back then because social media didn't completely fuck up people's brains yet.
>>132107602especially since it's 8 years after the meme was coined, where only Gen Xers and above actually were over 40
>>132106667Highly anticipated and everyone I knew liked them. November rain was on mtv all the time, one of the songs i think you could be mine was on terminator 2.
Everyone in 7th grade thought they were masterpieces. One kid in my neighborhood made us stop playing "guns" to go wait inside his house after school until MTV played the November Rain video. Then we played guns again.
>>132106862>Literally a year after it was released people considered GnR as corny and obsolete as Motley Crue at that timeYou were either not born yet, are literally Robert Christgau, or you were getting bullied by GnR fans for being a contrarian retard when this came out.
Women used to finger blast themselves to axl now he sounds like mickey mouseLife isn't fair
>>132109250greasy trailer park girls did, anyway. the suburban chicks who actually showered were Bon Jovi fans.
Use Your Illusion I [DGC, 1991]what pros ("Don't Damn Me") *
>>132106667it's amazing how much November Rain sucks up until the famous solo and then how good the solo is. Just delete the previous part of the song lmao
>>132109318>hipsters don't understand hard rock or metalmore news at 11
>>132109342Estranged mogs.
>>132109400he admitted Appetite was better as it wasn't as pretentious as UYI
They were epochal.There were a few major flag bearers in rock in the early 90s:- the Nirvana shock which basically created a new kind of rock, alt-rock (the "other" or weird rock)- the GNR sensation that kept that now-unfashionable bluesy rock still kicking, but in a new form- Metallica - a metal band somehow making it to mainstream through cunning pop simplification of metal- U2 - basically lame pop rock
I CALL MY MOTHERSHE’S JUST A CUNT NOWSHE SAID I’M SICK IN THE HEAD
>>132108954My boomer coworkers tell me all about this shit and they can't believe when I told them I'm still a virgin>inb4Yeah I browse this website so I am autistic and retarded but I'm not that ugly I just explain to them it's a completely different world now compared to what they grew up in

>>132106667im zoomie idk twin nirvana forever mog sexpest gnrcels doe
>>132109537Despite being old guys, Aerosmith were also pretty huge.
>>132108954no lies detected
Everyone who wasn't obsessed with rave culture back then, or wog shit, wanked themselves silly over it.
>>132107154GNR was not hair metal!
