Guns N' Roses

Anybody share the same love for them as me?

They were the reason I became a musician. And pretty soon I'm getting a GNR tattoo.

GREGXR8 · 12-08-2007, 07:59 PM

yep. i still think november rain is one of the best songs written.

Riksta · 12-08-2007, 10:09 PM

Civil War with its opening taken straight from Cool Hand Luke = awesome.

Not a huge huge fan as such, but I do love their more "mainstream" songs, usually its just their Greatest Hits CD I listen to, and every now & then the Illusion albums.

falzoony · 12-08-2007, 10:19 PM

Mr Brownstone and My michelle are some of my favs. The Gunners are great, they also helped get me into playing guitar.

zx10 · 12-08-2007, 10:22 PM

Yeah man Slash was the reason I started palyin guitar.

True dat, MR Brownstone was cool.

Sweet child o mine was the first song I learned to play.

Did you follow Slashs Snake Pit or more recently Velvet Revolver. I was a big STP fan too so Velvet are a natural progression for me.

Cheers
Matt

Yeah, I love em. Mr Brownstone is an awsome song . I know its a song about crack, but I just love the music . Patience is my alltime fav Gunners song ! I wish they would reform !

steamin63 · 13-08-2007, 11:58 AM

the gunners version of knocking on heavens door was my favourite and the wife use to sing sweet child o mine to my daughter when she was a baby.

Get in fa ring and coma great group went and seen them in brissy a month or two back great in concert.Joe

MickyB · 13-08-2007, 01:05 PM

In my top few favorite bands, saw them when they toured a few months ago, even without Slash some of the songs made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Just wish they would finally bring out Chinese Democracy, from what I heard at the concert it's going to be a good album.

herbs · 13-08-2007, 01:25 PM

Always thought that they're overrated considering that there were many bands that I think were better back then.

XA Coupsta · 13-08-2007, 04:38 PM

At highschool Appetite for Destruction was THE album to have.

IMO nothing came close to that album after they made that.

Possibly their worst time as human beings, fighting demons/addicitions/etc - but their best output of music occured because of it.

Sorta like the Metallica thing.

Im a big fan of both (prob more Metallica).

steamin63 · 13-08-2007, 06:30 PM

i agree. metalica was better but StAnger was the biggest load of crap i've ever tried to listen to.

Nah I liked the cds after that too. They definitely arent the same quality but...

Used to listen to Gunners, but not for a few years now, tastes have changed.

i did and it was a great doco .i saw their concert in brissy a couple of years back and it was awsome . good old school headbanging.

XYGTHO · 14-08-2007, 01:32 PM

Yep. Fan here to, absolutely love there stuff.

kremmen · 14-08-2007, 09:51 AM

I went and saw em in brissie, just Axl playing from originals. Free tix through a muso rep mate, we left after 25mins. SH!THOUSE. I hate it when bands split and someone uses the the bands name to DESTROY the bands rep.

Lies is a great album.

P.S. My mate has the G'n'R cross on his forearm.

Each to their own huh. I thought it was an awesome concert.

Totally agree about Lies though.

Yeah, went to the Sydney show, had a great time, currently listening to 7 studio demos from Chinese democracy, most of them will be high up in the charts when the album finally comes out.

Robin Finck and Ron Thal(Bumblefoot) are both as good as slash if not better. I'm not putting Slash down at all, He's a great guitarist, but I think if you heard some of the new G N' R songs as opposed to the new VR album, alot of people will realise just how much Axl has to do with writing great songs and making quality music.

Rons got a website with samples of his solo stuff and I think there might be some pictures of his weird guitar collection. www.bumblefoot.com.

Velvet Revolver are 100% better than the current gunners, classic Guns & Roses is great music.

Franky · 15-08-2007, 08:19 PM

Yes, my fav band of all time; songs like Coma, November Rain, Sweet Child o' Mine and Welcome to the Jungle are my personal favs

No album ever has come close to Appetite for Destruction, considering it was their debut album.

The thing is that Appetite for Destruction was not recorded with a Gibson les paul . Slash used a replica made by luthier Chris Derrig . But yeah same thing realy I just thought I would add that piece of useless information for everyone lol .

sorry dude was talking about Angus from ACDC and his Les Paul, slash is one hell of a guitarist.

One other album I forgot from the must have high school albums, "Slippery when wet" Bon Jovi.
