Can ne1 tell me why so many people consider Guns and Roses one of the best rock bands?
I would like to know why so many people think Guns and Roses is such a good band. I and admit that i don't know to much about them but i have heard their music and don't really get why people think they are so good. Does it have to do with something that was going on during that time in america? Please help me understand their popularness. Thank you.

maybe its because appetite for destruction is one of the best albums ever
slash is a good musician, that izzy dude is too. |
I've known older chicks that were psycho for them when they were big when they were in high school. It's the same feelings I have toward Corey Taylor <3 Those chicks are still heavily into them as am I with Corey. I think it's because they were so Bad Ass and that they spent years drooling to their pictures, trying to get into concerts and watching MTV (back when it was music), etc. It defined their time.

In their time, Guns 'n' Roses appeared as an anti-thesis to the other "bubblegum"rock of the 80's, like Poison and Bon Jovi. They had a harder attitude, mixed the best parts of Aerosmith, KISS and 80's swagger, to pretty much define the debauchery of the time in LA. Good songs, with singable choruses, edgy lyrics (drugs n the likes were not a widespread topic at the time), a great liveshow, and one of the most charismatic frontmen in rock, made G'n'R one of the biggest hardrock acts in the last 30 years. Unfortunately, Axl Rose turned into a diva, and pretty much destroyed the momentum that started with "Appetite For Destruction."

Appetite for Destruction was the first cassette I ever bought and I still dig the album, but I do think it got more attention because it was more hardcore than anything on the radio, at least here in KS.

GNR wasn't a great band, but they had some great songs, and the musicians in the band (other than that flaming dickhole Axl Rose) were all very talented. I was very saddened when I learned that Slash didn't really exist earlier this year.

I still get ramped up every time "Welcome to the Jungle" and Paradise City" are playing. How can you not?

They were the kick in the teeth that rock needed at the time . It felt like they came right out of the gutter . I saw them a few times before UYI 1&2 came out ---you never knew what you were going to get at a show. It was always a different set list and it felt raw and organic .

Musically, it was the rhythm section that really did it for me. They were able to have a kick-ass lead guitarist playing great riffs *and* fantastic rhythm guitar that (dovetailing with the bass and drums) really propelled the songs.
