Fucking autocorect

outside of their shitty political opinion your post is fucking derp.

And are in the middle of the largest tour of the year. Their opinion sucks but to say they are irrelevant musically is foolish.

Did you miss the word always?

Why is it the list of liberal celebrities is so much longer than conservatives? Most celebrities are because they act, or sing.

GD is surprised when an actor or band member is conservative, that should tell you something.

Guns n' Roses is in my opinion one of the most overrated bands of all times.

Who is Motley Crew?

Buns and hoses isn't real all that good anyway.

Just stop, this makes you look silly not edgy or cool like you think.

Washed up has-beens

I'm sure there are some larger Gn'R fans out there than me, but they are likely few and far between.

That said, IDGAF what their politics are.  They are entitled to their opinion the same way I am entitled to mine.

If we start vetting every entertainment figure against the prevalent politics of this site, our watch/play lists are going to get very small, very quickly.

To say they are a shitty band in a shitty time is something of a misnomer.  They stood the then current rock n' roll establishment on its ass when they broke.  This was a time of Poison, Def Leppard, Warrant, etc., etc. etc.  By contrast Gn'R was loud, profane, vulgar and actually talented.  They were a revolution when they broke; A near perfect synthesis of hard rock and punk that sounded like nothing else out there at the time.  Looking back through a quarter century of history, it's hard to vocalize just what a "holy shit" moment in time it was when Appetite for Destruction broke.

Additionally, like him or hate him (and I agree he is a deranged personality) Axl Rose is/was an extremely talented singer.  Perhaps, in my opinion, the most distinctive voice in rock n' roll history.  He has been independently verified to have one of the three our four largest vocal ranges on recorded work.  Likewise, he is largely responsible for penning the vocals on most of their songs.

The unsung savant in the group was Izzy Stradlin'.  He wrote much of the music, and his laid back and reclusive style allowed Slash to step into the spotlight and do what he does best.  That is, to grind out not technically perfect, but hugely emotive blues based guitar work.  Together, they were the definitive guitar duo of their time.

Clearly, they are past their prime now, but coming off the most successful tour of the last year, they are hardly irrelevant.

And my favorite Gn'R related quote from Mick Wall;  "The story of Guns N' Roses is the story of a band that truly, honestly, quite literally DID NOT GIVE A FUCK."  If you can't get behind that attitude, then I'm sorry, rock n' roll just isn't for you....

1986ish


2016 - From my trip to LA to catch the end of this tour.  Son of Bitch, the same painting was still on the wall....

Very good rundown.  Their politics stink, but being someone who grew up in the 80s and first saw them in 87, I can honestly say that music was changed dramatically in a good way by them.  Amazing talent.

...and I value their opinion just as much as I do all the other celebretards.

Axl Rose looks like a pizza with a microphone and sounds like a baby getting flogged with a bag of cats.

Then they need to voice that opinion  when not on the fucking stage during a concert..........

I am liking Donald Trump more with each passing day, and to be honest, some of that is being driven by finding out who does not like him.

So they went from *change the station* when their garbage came on, to *gouge my eardrums out* when their shit hits the airwaves....

Sheesh.  Some of you guys......

Well, well, well you just can't tell.

Haha.  Michelle Young was at the second show in LA.

She still looks pretty damn good from the picture I saw.

A bunch of old ass, makeup wearing, long hair'd, corporate rock playing fag boys playing a punk cover. How quaint.

 Wish I could post the pic, when they were in their mainstream prime, of GG Allin holding a GNR poster with his dick poking through Axl's mouth. Those guys wouldve been beaten senseless at a punk show, if they were actually a part of the scene at the time. Now they act all edgy for the gray hairs who werent there either.

You might read up on Duff a little.

I couldn't care less, I never liked their music, I don't understand how anyone could. Suck ass band, over rated guitarist, horrible vocalist, etc etc.

I saw them 25 years ago when they toured with Metallica.
Got to see them again a couple of months ago.

They were a mess during G&R/Metallica. Started late, Axl toasted his voice partway through the second song and growled the rest of the way through their set. They were sloppy, all over the place and probably drunk/high.

The most recent show he kept his voice all the way through, they were tight musically and the show generally just kicked all kinds of ass.

It just boggles my mind that artists, especially ones like G&R who have a mostly white, working class fanbase just can't help but interjecting politics into their shows, thus alienating a good chunk of their fanbase. You rely on these people to make a living, why piss off half (or more) of them.

The fuck you say?

$10 says these guys don't vote either.  Move over Kaepernick.

Welcome to the jungle, bitch.

You could be mine, but you're way out of line.

They were awesome back when Reagan was president. Now... Who cares?
