GnR

but i MUST question!!!!! *points to sky*

as far as im concerned i cant describ the passion i have for some of their songs as for many bands. i just want to eat them [img]confused.gif[/img] anyhow slash - god, axel - god. i dont care if they are arragent or not what they do is superhuman. i saw slash live the other month and it was incrediable. the way they all played together (velvet revolver) and feed off each other was just tops.

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">i believe bob dylan is the greatest song writer of all time.
he's been seriously considered for a nobel piece prize for his lyrics.. a book was released with them all because of their poetic content. my dad has it.

i feel so passionalty about certain bob dylan songs.. and its a bloody outrage that anyone could ever say "bob dylan sucks ass"
there's a few of his songs.. (two in particular) that i really have difficulty listening to (and not because i dont like them)

i like lou reed too, especially the velvet underground shit.. but have you heard "Blood on the Tracks"? "Highway 61"? "Desire"?

damn.

I happened to lean towards Dylan myself...

Hmmm... Well I was a sports freak up until 1991ish or so... Then my buddy Tom got 4 albums, which he made me copies of on tape. (Of course)

- Metallica, Black
- Nirvana, Nevermind
- Guns N' Roses, Appetite for Destruction & GNR Lies.

I would buy my first electric guitar some two years later. I wanted to be Slash. But then I got into Ozzy and that idea all went to hell with learning to do pitch harmonics like Zakk Wylde.

ANYWAYS...

I would soon get GNR UYI2. This album I remember studying. In fact, I got UYI2 so many months before UYI1, the original don't cry sounds wrong to me. I prefer the alternate version.

To answer your question, bands like GNR, Metallica, Aerosmith, Ozzy, hell even Dazing had a rough badass type feel. So much so these bands plowed straight though the grunge age. GNR only stopped cause Alex went insane. My guess is from the drugs. I liked Slash's snake pit, neurotic outsides, and kinds dug Izzy Stadlin's Ju Ju bullshit... And didn?t Duff have a CD called believe in me or believe in duff or something... not to mention Velvet Revolver that's on the radio now...

Bands that are ?badass? simply are bands with connivance.

Is M&M a good Rapper, or does he make you feel he?s a good rapper?
(Don?t say both, if you do you?re a moron. No one wants to hear what you have to say.)

How come no one ever mentions GNR's punk cover CD...??? I liked that album.

THE POINT IS? As long as it looks like you?re making the rules, people will think you?re making the rules.
(?and yet this simple thing so many have a hard time understanding.)

dont even mention that man.. [img]mad.gif[/img] [img]mad.gif[/img]
their cover of the Misfits 'Attitude' makes me very angry.

"Is M&M a good Rapper, or does he make you feel he?s a good rapper?"

what the hell does that mean?

i used to have a friend that was very in to
dylan as well as reed and we would spend countless
hours of the night arguing our reasons as to
why we believed what we believed. i've listened
to dylan about as much as i care to. it just
doesn't suit me.

back when i was younger, i used to find pleasure
in getting into heated debates with people that
didn't agree that robert smith was remarkable.
nowadays, i simply don't give a shit. they are
wrong and that is that. if you feel my comments
about dylan are wrong, so be it. but its not
like i haven't had my share of debate over him.

i also realize that so many people adore and are
influenced by him. bfd. i'm not one of them. sorry.

as for what gary said, i think it makes sense.
he's simply saying that its not about the
product that you sell... but how you sell it.
personally, i hate 'M&M' and i hope that he
is never mentioned on my board again. (tee hee)

as for GnR... i saw a really good article about
axl, GnR and their influence on the net the
other day. i had considered posting it, but i
doubt anyone would be interested in reading it.
not only did i nod my way through the article,
i felt the article itself was very well written.
if you are interested, read it HERE

ok.. well im no eminem fan. but i think he is a good rapper.

i love guns n roses. but when it all boils down.. GnR have very little (in my mind) on the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones musically.
and even less on the likes of Bob Dylan, Robert Smith, Neil Young, Jim Morrison, John Lennon lyrically and poetically.

i agree... which is why that article is a great
read. it really circles a lot of issues... i like
this part:

In his love song, "Black," he [vedder] writes: "All five horizons revolved around her soul/ As the earth to the sun." Has Eddie seen five horizons? When he saw his lover, did he immediately think her soul is like the earth revolving around the sun? It seems like he thought too long of how to express his feelings and lost the spontaneity of the passion, the simplicity of the emotion. When they're covered in all that icing, lyrics just don't have the same power as when they are allowed to express simple human emotions in simple human terms. That's where Axl's power came from - you feel like Axl is candidly speaking when you hear his lyrics - there is no distance between Axl and his audience.

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">while it's true that people like veddar, corgan,
etc all write more abstractly... some people
(like me) prefer it that way. however, i can
see a point to what this guy says too.

well that was my conclusion on GnR..
Billy Corgan and his gigantic ego can get farked for all i care..
but can we discuss Eddie Vedder now? ive got an *takes deep breath* unrequited adoration for the frustrated, agitated, designated alienated spokesman for the disaffected grunge generation. *gasp*

The article ended a little weak. But Allie, YES.
I've taught this, I was taught like this:

Ever hear of the rock band KISS?
