It's Been a Long Time Comin'.... the Official RC GUNS N' ROSES Thread

[Papa Josh]

Man ya'll, I have been jamming the shit out of "Madagascar," some track they've been playing from the supposed Chinese Democracy album. Not sure why, I've just been on this GnR kick as of late... which brings me to the REAL Guns N Roses of today, Velvet Revolver... kinda funny how they took that concept and made their own stab at it.

This thread is for all GNR related nonsense.

Have fun. :Spin:

I think everyone, regardless of what you really think of GNR, should thank them for kicking that synthpop crap in the ass and putting sex and drugs back into rock and roll. Appetite for Destruction is EASILY in the top ten albums of the entire 80s.

I still love hearing the old GNR tunes on the radio like Paradise City, Sweet Child O' Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, and maybe even Patience. Of course, those albums had some more good songs, but I only hear GNR on the radio.

I never did like the Use Your Illusion records, except for maybe a few songs, like Civil War. November Rain is one of the biggest cowplops ever.

I've only heard the two Velvet Revolver songs they play on the radio, and quite frankly, they suck. I've never been a fan of Weiland's voice.

 

[lizard]

I'm not a fan of Weiland either.

 

[NAD]

Guns n' Roses rock my socks off. While growing up I never liked the softer songs from the Illusion albums (except maybe Estranged), but now I've grown to appreciate and even love almost all of them. Don't Cry however, is one of the worst songs EVAR. Still.

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
Yeah
If love is blind I guess
I'll buy myself a cane

LOVE'S SO STRANGE



ps: weiland rocks. vr is pretty okay.

That Velvet Revolver, along with Tesla's latest album, were the two great rock albums of the year. I can easily imagine Weilend doing It's So Easy... which they do. And Slash playing SEx Type Thing?!? Hell, yeah.

Motley Crue put the sex and drugs back into rock n roll, long before GNR had a record contract. By the time "Appetite" came out ('87), Crue had four CDs out. Say what you will about MC, they owned popular Metal in the 80s.

A big "hell yeah" for the Tesla CD.

good point...I'm probably influenced by Crue being sort of cartoonish, at least at first.

As for GNR, it think the two UYI albums include the best stuff they ever did. "Estranged", "Breakdown", "The Garden", etc. etc.

 

[NAD]

Is there a gayer band name than Cinderella? Even Cyndi Lauper said "damn, yous guys are gay."

now I'm humping your leg.

seriously, I'm sure they're fun live, but they have to be, to cover up for just about the lamest lyruks. Over 30 years I can't even think of more than a handful of songs that are worthy of the name.

 

[JayKeeley]

I think I hate the KISS bandmembers more than I do the music. Not by much though.

I rank Gene Simmons alongside Ted Nugent, Billy Milano, Yasar Arafat, and Bill O'Reilly. Perhaps even lower because he's the Israeli.

 

[lizard]

I'll give Gene credit for one thing: he's smart enough to understand that it's simple entertainment, and you can never go broke selling to the lowest common denominator.
