Is it controversial here to say Guns N Roses sucks balls?
They've got some hardcore fanboys, but I wouldn't expect too many people around here to be that way. I kinda disagree just because I enjoy Appetite For Destruction, but I fully understand they haven't cut a single solid album since.Not really to me, but perhaps.
Pretty much.There's probably a good album lurking somewhere inside Use Your Illusion. It just needs about 75% of the content cut out.
Perhaps saying GNR sucks balls is a bit harsher than I really feel but they are the main band I think of when it comes to boring, uninteresting, and fairly obnoxious hard rock. They are like AC/DC but stripped of any charm or real fun. Not horrible horrible but probably my least favorite classic rock band behind the Sex Pistols.
Oh come now ACDC is far, far worse. As are Kiss, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Van Halen, and all the rest of those kind of bands. Guns N' Roses aren't exactly my favourite group, but of the late of 80's milieu of Hard Rock/Hair Metal bands they're head and shoulders above the rest.
i'd take the best stuff of all those over GnR, 'cept maybe whitesnake who i'm not very familiar with.
