Leykis101 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Oh man - I could fucking go off on this thread! I could mention Rob Zombie and every grunge band but it's a given they suck King Kong's nutsack. I would mention the godawful Stikki Fykk but we know they suck turds. So I am gonna be really fucking bold here and nominate: GUNS N FUCKING POSERS. I don't give a FUCK how good that first album is - Axl has the worst voice EVER in rock music - sounds like a cat getting castrated. Not to mention he's a complete cock. I was never a huge fan of the "GLAM" sound but Nuns and Posers make Poison tolerable. FUCK OFF!!! Hey, I'm not alone! Hey I ranted that same thing on here somewhere, and got about castrated for saying it! you couldve put any vocalist on Appetite and it wouldve kicked just as much ass, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Axl has a good singing voice either, but I wouldn't change a thing on the 'AFD' disc and know for a fact that with "any other vocalist" it would sound nothing like it does, and not in a good way. He's a unique chap, young Axl. I guess my point is that Axl Rose is far more than just a set of vocal chords. Dude can craft a song... even if it was a bit hit and miss after 'AFD.'

Big D Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Guns and Roses Alright so you had a great guitarist but you also had a vocalist that sounded like somebody was stuffing a wild rat up his arse and forgot to tape it's jaws shut. And that was in the studio. Live he was worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he didn't have the best voice but Axl had that extra someting that was unique and different to the norm and he was able to use several different voices throughout the same song and his lyrics were excellent being both beautiful and violent. Slash gets so much credit and it's deserved but most know that it was Izzy that was one of the main songwriters especially on appetite. And Duff was the musical director as he was a guitarist and drummer before he was a bassist so he had a different point of view. Like them or not they were a band that were needed at the time and became huge on not just great songs but a great and chaotic live show and of course the controversy surrounding the band didn't hurt either. I still love the band and listen to the cds often and dig the updated classic rock meets punk rock sound they fused together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I see it was already done I've gotta add to it... The first album sucked balls too. Ground breaking or original? Nope. I remember when they came on the scene & all the wannabe metal heads were cranking take me down to douchebag city on their sparkomatic stereos in their cars, my friends & I would crack up laughing til it hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wow, not a lot of love for GnR going on in this thread! To each their own, but I still consider Appetite to be the bench mark for sleaze rock. A total classic, without a filler in sight. Some songs maybe a bit over familiar now (like 'Sweet Child Of Mine') but that doesnt mean that they are not still classic songs. I also saw GnR live twice (although one I didnt really pay much attention - Donnington) and the Milton Keynes Bowl gig in the UK was awesome. No complaints on the original band live at all.

I can't stand Axl and I don't listen to GnR these days at all but that doesn't take away from the fact that AFD blew me away when I first heard it and it is definitely a classic...

Fat Freddy Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 A guy at work loaned me a CD by Black Veil Brides a couple of days ago. Apparently his kids are into'em and he sez "I thought you might like it, they remind me of early Motley Crue." Gave it a spin and...well, maybe it's just me but I certainly don't remember early Motley Crue sucking quite this badly. In other words... BLACK VEIL BRIDES SUCK!!!

JamesEagle Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Would I be alone in wanting to add Machine Head to this thread? I quite enjoyed a few songs on their first album, but since then I've found them completely f*ing terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoyed a few songs on their first album, but since then I've found them completely f*ing terrible. Not at all. Machine Head does nothin' for me either. I saw them open for Metallica a couple of years ago and I thought seeing them live might help them "click" with me but ... nah. Other than the one M.H. song I do like ("Imperium") the rest of their set just sounded like one long WOOOOOARRRRRRGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great White with Terry Ilous What. The. Fuck???? Awful. And as a GW fan, I'm insulted that they kept the name.

I'm going to add Soulfly to this list ... I like Sepultura, but I just can't see the point of Soulfly (other than as a vehicle to allow Mr. Cavalera to use the word 'tribe' every other sentence in interviews) ... just awful ... And Korn. Have they already been mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Glen on this - 'Appetite' is a stone-cold classic ... I only saw them at Donington, but I can remember the crowd going nuts ... after that, they became a travelling circus and I lost interest, but for a while ... oh, man ....

Fat Freddy Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I had forgotten about this thread Earlier this week I was re-reading thru a bunch of my old Metal Edge mags from the mid/late 90s and damn, some of the crap bands they were trying to pass off as "metal" were killin' me. Anyone ever wonder whatever happened to... Apartment 26 Puya Cold Crazy Town Jesse and the 8th Street Kids Days of the New Dope ....nahh, me neither.
