god, im glad those bands killed off the 80's bands.

Guns N' Roses killed of the 80's bands, not grunge bands. Everyone in L.A. was playin hair metal shreddin, cheesey pop crap and then Guns came out with a punk attitude that changed it all. NOT the Seattle bands, they in turn killed Guns who had gotten stale without Stradlin and Adler and Axl's ego inflamed. Research my friend, research. :wink:

Guns n Roses? Really? Were you living under a rock when Nevermind and Ten were released? Meanwhile, Soundgarden was doing all they could to keep the 80's at bay.

Guns n Roses IS an 80's band.

Why not ask Kurt Cobain what he thought of Axl Rose and GnR?

"His role has been played for years. Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there's been an Axl Rose. And it's just boring. It's totally boring to me. Why it's such a fresh and new thing in his eyes is obviously because it's happening to him personally and he's such an egotistical person that he thinks that the whole world owes him something."-Kurt Cobain on Axl Rose

One more thing to clarify, by 80's bands, I meant more along lines of Synth Music/Pop. Even I can appreciate some of the guitar driven rock from the decade.

How did Nirvana make it onto your 80's band list???? :shock: You know they did release other albums other than Bleach. I hope you just made a typo.

p.s. Yeah SRV didn't fare too well in the 90's did he? That whole dying in a helicopter crash in 1990 was a real career wrecker. R.I.P.

the list was to show an unbias (random list from yahoo answers)... i love a lot of the bands on the list. they were all bands releasing music in the 80's. Some are considered 70's... some 90's but most 80's.

Cant ask him, the junkie chickensh1t shot himself 15 years ago.

The funny thing is there has also always been a Kurt Cobain and that role has been played out for years also.

Guns N' Roses are, IN MY OPINION, the better band. It's my opinion and thats what matters. You have yours, I have mine and I also remember those days and lived through them. Fair is fair guys. Never liked Nirvana, some good songs but thats about it for me.

Also remember the other side, what Axl thought of Kurt.

There are 2 sides of everything. I just cant appreciate a father who leaves his daughter.

Most of this list weren't too good in the 80's much less the 90's. Now as for Aerosmith, Metallica, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers they had good stuff from both decades most in my opinion are from the 90's and to this day would be good bands if they were still together. The "grunge" movement only gave way to the crap that todays bands are making. Some i like but wouldn't go out and buy it now like i did in the 90's.

hey if you married Courtney, you'd done the same lol. Certainly right, Kurt is no role model. He is however a musical genius. Just like Jimi and many before them, they all did too much for music in such short time.

OK I understand where you're coming from. You don't like Nirvana. GnR was the band that personally killed hair metal for you. But to many of us, Nirvana was the band that killed hair metal (Kurt's f'd up personal life set aside, I'm just talking about the music).

I guess we all should get along and be happy that hair/glam metal is still dead.

Everyone is just glad to see the everlasting end to bands like Europe, Poison etc.

Whether it was GN'R, Nirvana, Alice In Chains or anyone who ended it. Who cares? It's dead.

lol

It is hilarious.

And Tochai, a lot of us here take rock n' roll very seriously, its how we pay our bills. 8)
