#151 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses vs Rush (Final Round - Vote Now!!) » 676 weeks ago
GnR should win this hands down, but then again they shouldn't be here in the first place. I didn't look at the brackets, but I'll assume Rush shouldn't be there either.
This reminds me of how my band was defeated in the fantasy band contest.
Ok - now to the real subject...why do GnR fans feel so insecure that they need to rig polls like this in their favor? Isn't just knowing the band you love is great enough? Does rigging the vote make other people love them more? What's the point?
You're taking it way too seriously and care way too much. But I'll say one thing, I'd bet money on the fact the people who rigged it in Gn'R's favour are the types who think current Gn'R rules and are way better than classic Gn'R.
I voted Gn'R obviously. Classic Gn'R at least is a kickass rock band. Rush though is so often used as a punch line to a joke.

Van Halen sucks. I've never liked them. Rush is even worse. I just posted a vide for shits and giggles.
#154 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Vs. The Beatles » 676 weeks ago
So what they just leave the poll open long enough for the underdog to take he lead then close the poll? Seems like bullshit to me and I voted for Gn'R
#155 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Vs. The Beatles » 676 weeks ago
It's not even in my top 10 GnR songs.
Cool. Anyways name me another song with that much venom, that much grit, that much of a catchy hook and melody that's accesible to the mainstream yet still a fucking badass rocker that's fit for classic rock and modern rock radio. They ranked it #1 and you'd be hard pressed to find a more suitable #1 that fits all that criteria and more. The sports world has also pretty much anointed it the badest rock song out tere to get the blood pumping.
it's not my favourite Guns N' Roses rocker either but it's hard to argue it being ranked #1
#156 Re: The Sunset Strip » JJ Abrams to direct Star Wars Episode VII » 676 weeks ago
Apparently Michael Arndt who wrote Toy Story 3, Brave, Little Miss Sunsine among others is writing the script. Here's his IMDb http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1578335/
Also check this out. Maybe JJ Abrams knew all along he'd be doing Star Wars considering he had R2-D2 make a cameo in the 2009 Star Trek movie. Hilarious

When I hear Welcome To The Jungle... I think, WOW this song is PERFECT. Every element is there and nothing kicks as much ass as this song.
I believe VH1 ranked it as the #1 best hard rock song of all time.

I think people under estimate the relevance of Gn'R's music. We may not be hearing Guns music in commercials the way we hear Imagine or Happy X-Mass by John Lennon but go to any live sporting event and guess what you're gonna hear every single time. Jungle. And more often than not PC, SCOM also get played. YCBM gets played all the time at NFL games. You can't say this for John Lennon or the Beatles. That's a entire avenue were Guns is WAY MORE relevant than they are and it isn't gonna change ay time soon. In fact Welcome to the Jungle is arguably the greatest sports anthem ever. It's the one song that gets played everywhere all the time. We Will Rock You sure doesn't and We are the Champions only gets played once a year. The Beatles don't get played ever at sporting events. Also Guns N' Roses get played way more often on modern rock radio and they are also starting to get played more on classic rock radio than the Beatles.
I'v always wondered why that is. Why is it that the "most influential band ever" is played on modern rock radio less than bands like the Stones, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Sabbth, U2, Guns, etc etc etc. Also you're not hearing the Beatles on classc rock stations as often as those bands either. AND you're not hearing the Beatles on soft rock stations as often as other bands.
People talk about the relevance of the Beatles in todays era but really where is it relevant? Not on radio. Not at live sportig events. A couple of John's solo songs are featured often in commercials but aside from that....
It's weird. It's like Michael Jackson. This massive artist that is all but non existant on radio anymore. I think you can make an argument that in today's age The Beatles influence on up and coming bands has waned considerably in compaison to other classic bands.
I'm not taking anything away from what the Beatles did for music during their time but I think there's some truth to what -D- says about people considering the Beatles the best just because it' an opinion that has been ingrained in people just because. Kinda like a religion tha one dare not question for fear of persecution 
I know a shit load of people who are into Zeppelin, Sabbath, Aerosmith, U2, AC/DC, The Stones, Hendrix etc tc etc but to be honest I don't know anyone who's really a Beatles fan. I don' know anyone who dislikes them but I certainly don't know anyone who's hardcore about them the way they are for the other bands I've mentioned.

Everything else was very nice.
Axl sounded like shit. His look and moves were also ridiculous. He really needs to retire or start working on his voice and stamina. He should have years ago. I'd prefer a playback performance over his live singin' right now. He's awful.
The band was really great though. Very great. They deserve and need to hire a better singer to form a super tribute band. Or a new one that makes and releases music.
glad to see the response to the part I bolded is more accepted these days. I've been saying this for YEARS. I said it so long ago and people bashed me and flamed me and gave me negative karma 
Fact is tis band deserves better than Axl Rose as their singer. He's definitey the weak link and the guy who's suffocating the entire thing.

Whoa. When I first clicked on the thread and saw the picture I had to double check to see if it was a thread from years ago tha ahd been bumped So hilarious how much shit has gone down and been discussed over the ears that has nothing to do with actual music. really pathetic when you think about it.
