Guns n Roses

What are your thoughts? I really like their first 3 albums, with the third one being their best (use your illusion 2). My absolute favourite 2 songs from them are November Rain and Estranged.

They were stunning for a 6 year period.

I hope they bring their reunion shows over here, am I the only one?

Better than Bon Jovi.

If it wasn't for Slash Axel, Mcduff, izzit and the other fella's they would be brilliant!

Never the same after Guns left for me!

Correct.

Illusions and Appetite yes.

The rest have moments but not as good.

Awful.

AFD is one of the great debut albums.

Didn't much care for their other stuff.

Appetite, use you illusions, superb. Lies ok. Spaghetti incident, listenable...

I can listen to use your illusions over and over..

6 year period? Might be on your own with that one. Appetite for destruction is a classic and the band were immense at that time. That's pretty much it - use your illusion 1 and 2 were just bloated nonsense, self-parody time.

When in the history of music has a band releasing two albums at the same time been a good idea? [Artistically speaking, for the record company it may be a bit of an earner]. Almost always points to trouble at mill in that they can't decide what a good album should sound like, and they've become too important for the record company just to say shut up and edit.

Mesmorise and hyponotise by SOAD were good. But they would have absolutely slayed as one album.

Appetite was great but downhill from there for me.

Great band at first, but so far up their own backsides they should be sponsored by vaseline.

They played the arena in Manchester four or five years ago, were at least an hour late starting and played on till the early hours.

Lots of people get there on public transport so probably missed the whole show. They were good on stage like, but we pushed off at about half one.

I wouldn't spend hard earned on seeing them again without booking a hotel as well, in fact, I doubt I'd spend hard earned on them at all !
