I'm gonna watch this even though Motley Crue were at best a pretty fucken ordinary band.
I can't imagine how good the equivalent GnR movie would be.
Kickstart My Heart and Dr Feelgood are as good a rock tracks as you are going to hear. The rest i could easily take or leave.
A decent GnR movie could never be made. Not sure the egos in play could handle it.
Teaser would be my favourite song of theirs but in terms of great rock acts they're firmly in the lower division for me.
I don't totally disagree with you, but 41 million albums is a shit load
I think the cut off would be about 100 million at least to put them in that very top bracket.
is anyone arguing they are in the top bracket? Any one at all?
I would struggle to name more than 3 songs.
@Machpants i would say old Rick had a broader appeal that a dirty hair metal band from LA.
Well you said 41 million is a shit load....exact words.
Rick got covered by the Foos, that probably gave the career a boost.
it's not?
This list won't go that low
I'm depressed I live in a world where Justin Beiber has sold as much as he has.

And Rihanna is one of the greatest musical artists ever.
Whilst I’m not the biggest fan of her music, she does have a phenomenal singing voice. One of the best I’ve heard

Axle is a complete fluffybunny, the Steve Adler book proved that. I’m amazed they stayed together as long as they did

Yeah but musical brilliance more often than not goes alongside complete shitcuntery......
Either that or kiddy fiddling.

Look at Soundgarden - they had bodyguards protecting themselves from band members at one stage.

A few funny, gross anecdotes from Faith No More's 1991 tour with Guns N' Roses.

Have you read the Slash book?
He insinuated throughout it that Axl is as you say, but then also was pretty clear in pointing out that the rest of them were such a bunch of drunks / addicts, that he wasn't necessarily wrong to do what he did.
I'm still fairly confident the Axl/Slash "we'll never reunite" feud was very well stage managed to extract as much $$$$ as possible out of the "not in this lifetime" tour.

No haven’t read that one, yeah for sure no doubt they all took too many drugs (especially addler) and drunk too much piss. But addler grew up with slash they played together since they were teenagers. From memory axl was a division in the band. Because he played they biggest role in writing the songs he eventually felt he deserved the bigger slice of the royalty pie. Which is fair to a degree. The worse thing is how Addler was treated at the end. He was shut out from the new stuff (Use your Illusion 1 & II) they set him up by performing new songs knowing he had been excluded from practicing with them.
And eventually offered to buy him out for something like $1,000 (taking advantage of his fucked up state)
Don’t forget many a gnr show had no axl because he was too wasted to turn up. Slash and Izzy had to share the vocals at the last minute. -

As a Bass player he was always my favourite member of the band and he's definitely aged the best too. Pretty decent frontman too as he showed in Welly a couple of years back.
Axel definitely had one of the most distinctive and amazing voices in rock but I think Slash is definitely overrated as a guitarist. In saying that he is probably the last true guitar hero in rock and his look is obviously a massive part of that appeal.

Yes your right Duff, though I’m certain they all had to cover for axl at some point
The bigger gnr grew the bigger axls ego grew. -

The bigger gnr grew the bigger axls ego grew.I don't really have an issue with that. So many of my favourite musos ( Prince, Richie Blackmore, Axel, Mike Patton, James Brown to name a few ) sound like complete and utter shitcunts in real life. To me that's part and parcel of being a super talented superstar.
It's ones that are like that and who have awful music ( Kanye West, Oasis, Beiber ) who irk me far more.
