Guns N' Roses were the greatest "arena" rock band of all time. They performed better on ALL stats than the likes of Aerosmith, Metallica, Van Halen...
Also, you had 2 of the strongest creative minds in music since Page & Plant. Rose & Slash were amazing together. And when you listen to lyrics like Estranged, Dont Cry, Patience, Locomotive & Civil War, you can see why they outlasted other L.A. hair bands such as Poison and Motley Crue. Their songs were genuine. They werent played with a less than subtle knowing smile.
I'm biased though. Guns have always been my favourite band.
Thats why all the hubbub.
And the porblem now is that, the new line up, is new blood. it aint slash or duff. Those boys are tied up with Velvet Revolver and Slash's Snakepit...So Guns' new stuff wont be nearly as good as the old stuff, especially the Use Your Illusions s**t.
But the record probably wont ever come out. Its been put back to November '05...AGAIN!
Axl's lost it, it would seem. i mean, he was never really there anyway, but he's really far gonr now.
Um...what was the question?
I trailed off all over the place.

just curious binokular. No alternative motive. Your 523 posts suggested you were a dab hand in the music world & knew your stuff and was great to see Rollerskate Skinny mentioned. Drummer is a friend thats all. We enjoyed the buzz of seeing them in the Hot press top 100 @ number 14. Super band even though I am biased!!!!
I do talk crap sometimes!

A House, what an utterly fantastic band, some of the best lyrics ever penned by an Irish band too. I haven't had an opportunity to hear his stuff, though I believe Dave Couse solo stuff is pretty good.

Hows that for diversity.
Well, good news. Nick, according to pitchforkmedia it seems that Cream are to reunite for a series of live dates in the Albert Hall, London. Also Disraeli Gears will be reissued as a 40 track 2 CD set.
