Hey, guys. I'm new to the forum. Any other Guns N Roses fans here? What did you think about 'Chinese Democracy'?
Any GN'R fans?

Actually, pretty much all former members of G 'n' R are great musicians. The problem is with Axl. His vocals are, and always have been, atrocious. I guess he's a good pianist, but that doesn't make up for his ear splitting whining, screeching, and moaning. Also, while I do agree that Guns 'N' Roses are more accurately categorized as rock, there was a significant metal influence in their sound. "Lost In The Garden of Eden" from Use Your Illusion I, for example, shows a strong Motorhead/NWOBHM influence in the guitar riffing.

Hey if they come on the radio I'll pretend to have zero testostorone and sing along with Axl, but other than that I get little substance from hearing a butchered Dylan song and pseudo-badass pop-metal. But whatever, still beats Poison any day.

I don't think that was his point... actually one of the things that made GnR stand out back in 87 was how gritty and authentic they were. That's what I think he was saying.
And IMO AFD is in fact the greatest hard rock album ever.

There is nothing authentic besides how the drugs had takin a toll on them. There's nothing original about taking AC/DC vocals (even possibly a lil Robert Plaint) and intergrating a glam metal backing to it. But as I mentioned before, G'n'R can be fun depending on how drunk I am
edit: the stupidity of his post warrented an even more retarded response. I wasn't really bashing G'n'R just saying why I don't like them.
And to say AFD is the best hard rock album is just plain wrong
That's exactly what I was saying.
And you could definitely make an argument for it being the best.

In being being the best? Hell no if you ask the majority of people with legitimancy. G'n'R never had anything important to say unlike other hard rock outfits such as THE ROLLING STONES LED ZEPELLIN, THE KINKS, THE WHO, BLUE CHEER< oh wait I shouldn't have to justify myslelf to such ignorance so I'm out like this thread is about to be
edit: I was only responding to the satement you made about it being the "most authentic hard rock album I've ever heard". So I'm simply suggesting you to listen to better hard rock and you will thank me. And also am directly my vicious verbal assault to the fact you don't even know much about THE FUCKING BAND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! Cmon, to be an efficient fan boi you at least need to know the name of their albums.
