GNR was different than the rest of those other hair/glam bands. They may have been in a similar league etc... but lyrically they were a lot more gritty and 'dangerous' than the Poison/Warrant/Winger/Steelheart type of bands. Where those guys were talking about screwing chicks or screwing chicks or even going out on a limb and screwing chicks, GNR was doing songs about being hooked on heroin... Their tunes had a much darker side to them. And, well, Slash was in the band. And you don't really get too much better than Slash.
If they weren't your cup of tea, then they weren't your cup of tea. But they were a band that help to open the door to heavier and darker things to come. Their contribution to music will be remembered whereas most of the 80's hair bands will be lost in the shuffle... |

I have been playing this album over and over every day since buying it on Black Friday. I checked out Buckethead a little on You Tube. The guy is super-fast on guitar. Bumblefoot is pretty good too. There are some guitar riffs that would stand up against anything Slash has ever done for GNR. Slash used to always get criticized for not being a great guitarist. I disagree. I loved his style. This album does not disappoint.
As for Axel having "anything to say relevant to this decade". If you listen to these songs they are not about this decade or any decade or anything political. They are about relationships, love, being crazy (which he is) etc. These are really good songs. Again, well produced. I hope they get radio play. Anyone hearing any of them on the radio?

Check out heretodaygonetohell and mygnr.... Axl has been chatting with fans on line. Definitely worth a read as very little info has come from Axl in the last decade. He basically answers a ton of fans questions.... directly!
