no, no. bon jovi are, and always will be, the benchmark for uncool. 
but yea, defo i get a lot of grief for being a GnR fan.
a few of my mates are fans but the vast majority of people i know think it's a laughing matter.
but i don't give a shit what people think. it's their loss!
i don't know what it was like 94-97, i can imagine it was p bad, but it defo got worse post -02.
& bono, "clown show" is being polite. the more often used "freak show" is a better assessment. the image of BH (& Finck to a lesser extent) as Slash's 'replacement' was a major factor in the ridicule.

'appetite for democracy' is such a stupid thing to say. Ffs. Wtf is that even meant to mean? Some pro-democracy/rock the vote type tripe?!
Get in the ring. That's a cool name for a tour banner. Appetite for democracy has no balls. Confused & lazy, in a sense it's a perfectly shitty slogan for this band.

'87-'93 GnR smoked Zeppelin.
Only thing comes close is Stones '66-'72 ('68 if you feel cunty about it).
Beatles & Dylan don't count, obv.
They were the greatest rock band ever. They were perfect.

i think that's very true Intercourse, regarding Axl.
at the very least it highlights the fractured relationship of the 'band'. they weren't good friends but rather using each other to... i dunno, 'get out' or, get paid.
obv now i know, but they weren't really a garage band, or friends who started a band. they came together cause nobody else could work w/them & they clung on as they'd little left to hope for. & lo & behold they made enough money that they thought they didn't need the other guys anymore.
#2077 Re: Guns N' Roses » North American Tour Stats for new Gnr » 741 weeks ago
well IMO the AFD & UYI-era GnR were comparable to the stones & zeppelin.
however, they coulda been indisputably the greatest single thing in rock n roll, if they'd gotten over their stupidity & ego-tripping. Izzy's songs channeled thru Slash/Duff & Axl were the next step on a hard-psych-rock trip that woulda melted everything that went before. e.g. PTU, DTJ. man, that's where it was fucking at. & they fucking blew it cause of their personal failings. they being axl & slash, of course.
they weren't destined to crash & burn. they had the greatest songwriting talent of any american rock band but they didn't think highly enough of it, of that synergy & thought too highly of themselves. if they'd focused on what made them, & what made them great, instead of petty Bizness BS, they wouldn't have crash & burned.
there is always a way. they didn't wanna take it. axl couldn't hack it.

#2079 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 742 weeks ago
yea it's been excellent. the train robbery an obv highlight.
i will say this tho, esp in ep 2 & 3 i think, there were like 2min montages of them doing nfk all, like look for that cigarette in jessie's apartment. there was a similar montage in this latest ep of them dismantling the kid's dirtbike, but it served a purpose & helped add to the gruesomeness. whereas in the earlier ep's the montages just seemed to be lazy choices to fill time.
walter has defo taken it to a whole new level of badass this season tho. just when you thought he couldn't get any cooler pulls it off. he's been doing some of his coolest stuff this yr & that latest ep when he got chained to the radiator or saying about wanting an empire.. cooler fucker.
