...Guns and Roses?  Is it just me, or are they just a slightly harder glam band?  I keep hearing about how they bridged the gap between the mainstream glam metal of the '80s and harder mainstream rock of the '90s, but I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe that they had any impact on the sound of hard rock in the '90s.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

They're not even harder than a Glam Metal band... Glam Rock and Glam Metal are different, by the way...

They were a typical hair metal band of the 80's.....overrated indeed.

David Bowie was a glam artist, you know.

 

No, you are not the only one.

Nah, they are more along the lines of bands like Aerosmith and AC/DC than Motley Crue.

i hate axel rose because he's an idiot, but slash is a talented guitarist. the band itself is one of the best metal bands of th3 80s, but that's not saying much.

I feel kind of indifferent towards slash, some of his stuff alright, but sometimes  I'll hear something like Sweet Child 'O Mine, where it sounds like he's trying to play his guitar like it's an electric piano, I hate stuff like that.

Hm, Motley Crue is pretty much a glammed up, dumbed down Aerosmith...nevermind, bad example.

Slash can shred, but other than that, I'm not too big of a fan. Some of their songs are decent, but not enough for me to go purchase an album.

I loath guns n' roses.

 

Here is a little story...I once went to one of their concerts and sat right in front of one of the 3 story speakers. They played for 3 hours...when I came out, I was diagnosed with hearing problems...I now hear always hear a "screeching" noise.

They're just unadulterated glam metal. Aside from the Use Your Illusions, which was 'glam metal tries to become folk and fails'.

I like Guns 'N Roses, but you do have a point that they didn't really influence the grunge rock that was so popular in the 90's.
