Controversial opinions on metal

[Pitiless Wanderer]

That album has its moments, but overall....shitty, over rated band IMO.

 

[CiG]

Except they put out one of the best hard rock albums of all time in Appetite for Destruction.

Maybe if you limited it to the specific year it came out. Even then...

I do like the song "Patience" though, for some reason.

Wrong album

Wrong album

I was just speaking on Guns N' Roses generally.

Pretty much every hard rock album released in the 70's is better than it.

I'm pretty sure there are some that aren't ;-)

 

[Krow]

Never been a fan of GnR. They've always been a favorite of my moms though and maybe it's some subconscious thing because they've been beat into my head so hard.

 

[Phylactery]

I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I actually don't find them to be completely abhorrent. They're just okay.

Skid Row, glam or not? They are without a doubt a glam band imo. People try to say "but listen to Slave to the Grind, its soo metal" Which i think is a pretty hilarious thing to say ..... I remember there being only one song that can be classified as metal on that album and a bunch of rock ballads.

Self-titled and STTG rule regardless of genre classification

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... nah, first album sucks hard. Slaves to the Grind has one good song from what i remember. ONE.

Yes they do. Basically the follow ups to Dr. Feelgood that we never got.

I'll throw them out when I get home

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... you'd be doing yourself a favor.

Anybody who can't rock out with cock out to "Youth Gone Wild" is a child molester.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

bring me your children.

 

[The Batlord]

Keep them. You'll clearly enjoy them more than I will.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

they do have a few good songs though, and Youth Gone Wild is indeed one of them.

 

[The Butt]

GnR sucks. Absolutely worthless band imo

Skid Row is awesome. Metal or not.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Skid Row is barely ok, first album is better from what I remember, and they went to shit rapidly after the second. Youth Gone Wild is the one with the melodic riff that just sounds copied from some earlier Motley Crue single, right? I forget which Crue song though. Second-rate latecomers.

Oh they were a total ripoff of Motley Crue and Dr. Feelgood, but they did a good ripoff.

Controversial? Motley Crue's first two albums were not only amongst the best metal albums of all-time, but were truly creative albums that might have heralded a new sound in rock had not they and countless other bands squandered the opportunity.
