How much does Guns-n-Roses suck?

Poll question: How much does Guns-n-Roses suck?

"Welcome to the Jungle" just finished on my cubemate's radio, and I usually hear "You Could Be Mine" at least once a day from the same source.

Ah, Pittsburgh!

[Shell Beau]

1. At that time, they were really good. It wasn't like any other music

then.

[Orrex]

2. "Any port in a storm"

Well, that excuses their popularity then. BUt why are they on my cubemate's radio now, and every day?!?

[Shell Beau]

6. I am afraid your cubemate has some serious issues!

They must be stuck in that era!! Kidding!!

Who knows! Sorry for the suffering you must endure!! :P

10. You are so right. But it sure got real lame real fast.

3. I think Appetite For Destruction is one of the great rock albums

Lies was ok, Use Your Illusion I & II sucked somewhat, and The Spaghetti Incident sucked a lot. :shrug:

4. In my opinion

It was refreshing to see a rock band after putting up with all those years of bands like Ratt, Poison, Cinderella and so on. I was a bit surprised to see Slash playing a Les Paul. Those pointy guitars were too pointy. I really only liked their first album and a little of the second.

5. It could have been Ah Leah

Count your blessings. ;)

9. That usually comes on between 2:00 and 3:00

13. Hour long coffee break?

:)

[Orrex]

17. That's a fine idea! I'll mention it to my manager!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

7. I think Appetite for Destruction is a classic!

True, it's overplayed, and certainly Axle's recent antics don't help their legacy, but I still think they were a great band!

8. none at all

at least when they were new. now, their live shows are pretty weak

[billyskank]

11. Their live shows were always weak

They never could play well live.

[realisticphish]

12. true

but at least then axle didn't look like my grandpa :D

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Never been a huge fan...

But the song "Garden Of Eden" is pretty kickass.

[Jokerman]

15. "More than anything has ever sucked before"

Any chance to quote Butthead.

[Elidor]

16. A solid band with a mass suckage singer

They would have a much better legacy if they had hired a real singer instead of torturing an ocelot to get their vocals. I think they were pretty damn good as a band, though their songwriting was not that great. No matter, though: I can't listen to them at all. As soon as Assle opens his mouth, it's time to change the station.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. More than Billy Joel, and that's saying something.

[Orrex]

19. "We Didn't Start The Fire" overwhelms any good that he might have done

Utterly horrendous.

[mvd]

21. I agree, except that I like Billy Joel

GnR might be talented, but I don't care for the style. Then again, I've never been a big hair metal fan.

20. we declared "Welcome to the Jungle"

our theme song for our ER
yeah, I know...
