well all those guys are a generation or 3 removed from the grunge scene
if we are going all time vocalists thats one thing but i explicitly stated the 90's
Not all-time.
Guys still around and active.
Scott Weiland is a nobody compared to those guys. That's right.

fixed that for you. you're welcome
Thanks.
Looking back, I knew I forgot Plant, but certainly, he's up there.

If not Izzy, i'd much rather have Tommy on rhythm than Gilby, Paul, Richard, Dave Kushner or someone entirely new.
Paul Tobias sharing the stage with Slash would be the most awkward Axl/Slash reunion scenario I can possibly imagine.

I nicked the idea from the other thread, admittedly.
Not to lessen the discussion there, I just wanted to state the question in a different way.

If you would have to choose one over the other, which would it be?
Disclaimer: if something fan-friendly happens at RRHOF, I think that is a good thing. RRHOF and CD2 can co-exist; this poll is to inquire whether people would like to see a reunion reach a point where it would replace the contemporary band as Guns N Roses.

What I am very interested to see is if this GNR go the way of VR..
Sophomore album slump..
With VR, one at least has the sophomore album to slump into.
Oh, and bet you ten to one, a sophomore 21st century Guns album would be a whole lot more relaxed effort than CD.
Thus likely being a superior album.
If only...
sometimes I am not sure; does Axl make music for himself, or for us?
He played bits of Prostitute on the 02/06 tours as a prelude to NRain, The General has been a long standing show intro, etc.
At times, I'd say he's struggling with the same idea, but there's a desire to make the music heard, eventually.

Financial crisis distraction. Easy copy.

Wagner's anti-semitism should be taken in with consideration of the cultural climate in late 19th century Deutschland. The jews had been pitted against the Germans for a while there, much like one sees Croats against the Serbs, or even muslims against Christians.
The 'otherness' is what creates a certain group of 'us', and another consisting of 'them'. This does not exclude friendships, marriages and families between members of these groups, as in its softest form, the separation stigmatizes masses rather than individuals. Wagner himself held many friendships with Jews and had no qualms about their faith.
Was he wrong as an individual to chastise the Jewish composers like Mendelsohnn? You bet, but there's more to the story than simply Wagner being an anti-Semite. Mendelsohnn, for instance, had received a copy of an early Symphony by Wagner, then a fledgling composer. The would-be mentor then went and lost his copy, so there's a personal grudge element involved already.
Anti-semitism, like any unwarranted discrimination, is condemnable in my opinion, but if we choose to pass judgment, we should remember that justice is built upon the facts. Otherwise, we end up with sorry witch hunts, which have never served to provide with a better society.

When it comes to well-known contemporary rock vocalists, the top seats are still with names like Jagger, Osborne, Tyler, Rose.
Considering how brief GNR heyday ultimately was (seven years in between signing to Geffen and touring the stadiums of the world), it's mighty impressive.

On the flipside, I had a friend who did that, and yeah, he had issues.
He had a tumultous coming-to-age, but he got over it and is now a respected member of his community.
With this I mean, according to those close to him, he carries that "there and back again" aura, but he appears to have made his peace with it.
It's always a red flag, but not always a lost cause, thankfully.
