Some of u liked RIR also

If he was sick, excused

if not, this was a fucking trainwreck.

That being said, I'm sure halfway through Vegas he will start kicking ass. thats usually his M.O.

Please stop with the BS age excuses.

didn't mean to leave it so vague.

meaning they never wrote songs trying to be hits. They were just great songs that become hits but none were the normal radio friendly formulatic stuff most bands release intending to be hits.

SCOM has virtually no chorus and is considered a "ballad" but listen to what other people had hits with for ballads during that time. WAY different.  same for November Rain which is almost 9 mins long.  WTTJ had to be released several times.

GNR made it by having a great collection of songs.

CD has a good collection of songs but there isn't any one song u can point to and say, "That's a hit" cause Axl doesn't try to write formulatic hits.

Difference is, in the 80's early 90's people loved albums.

21st century people love the single.

GNR aren't that type of band.

8 on active rock
5 on mainstream rock

Outside of Kiss, I hate gimmicks.

She has extreme talent when she plays piano and sings. she coulda been an Adele type on steroids instead chose the bullshit angle.

Great song on there called 'You can only get so high"

listened twice a day since Tuesday and Its very good.
