US Band Tournament - 1st Round - Guns N Roses vs Crosby, Stills & Nash

[Bjornebye]

 

 

 

[Moo]

I love Graham Nash and voted accordingly.

[Bjornebye]

Can see GnR getting the same level of nonsense spouted about them as the wannabe music aficionados on the RHCP thread. 

 

GnR here. 

[Moo]

Appetite for Destruction was a brilliant album but after that, rather overblown.

[cochyn]

Aye, GN'R. They'll go a long way..

 

[mgw100]

Guns n Roses are nowhere near the awfulness of RHCP. Still, an easy vote for CSNY

[The Midnight Rambler]

The fuckin’ lads

No Neil Young in this apparently.  But Slash's dad designed an LP cover for Neil Young if anyone wants to connect the two bands.

 

Can't get past Appetite for Destruction, one of my first ever albums and it still holds up. Absolutely no comparison with RHCP.

[Byrnie]

GNR. Hands down.

100%.

Appetite is a lean, raw, no frills, exciting, cock & balls out, rock album.

 

The following albums were overweight, flabby, excessive, coke dick, frumpy messes. 
 

At best, an EP could have been made from the Use Your Illusion albums. 

 

But I still voted for them.

Leave us all out of this....

Tough one this

 

GNR brilliant from 87-92, thought they lost alot when Izzy Stradlin walked away. 

 

CSN pass the test of time far better

 

Need to mull this over

[Pete]

GnR 

[Edward.]

Went to see GnR in Newcastle with one of my step sons cunts were 2 hours late coming on. Maybe a bit of a myth but he wanted a lamb dinner and they had cooked beef. Regardless they were still 2 hours late and I really can’t remember any of it. I was driving so there was no drink involved either

[Code]

I went to watch them two years ago, it was horrendous, but I dont really vote for the 2018 version, so it doesnt matter.

I totally agree.

 

 

November Rain is one of my favourite songs, but voted Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

 

 

Eventually.

 

[TheHowieLama]

Bums with Noses over CSN and/or Y??

 

Ridiculous.

[manwiththestick]

Appetite for Destruction was awesome when it came out but I would not really choose to listen to it these days.

 

I love CS&N and the whole Laurel Canyon scene so that's who I'm going with.

[Bruce Spanner]

Wife’s friend just turned up, they want to bitch about one of their friends.
 

I put on AFD loud, they’ll get the message soon and fuck off for a glass of wine at the local, or if by by nine when ‘Civil War’ on UYI2 starts I’ll be off to the local and won’t be back before lunch tomorrow.

Yep, still listen to it every now and again. Every track is a belter.

[Mook]

I used to fucking hate Guns & Roses when I was at school, all the clueless girls seemed to be into them, I still hate them now. As if their music isn't bad enough, their singer used to wear cycling shorts on stage, what a fanny he is.

 

That first Crosby Pills & Hash album was great, I'm guessing Deja Vu doesn't count because Neil Young is all over it but an easy vote for the old hippies anyway.

I'm thinking this must be all the configurations in terms of make up. Just because the band name lists all the members, let's not complicate matters. 

[mgw100]

It's also true that GnR fans at school were all complete morons.

[TheHowieLama]

Should be minus 10 votes just for Axl Rose's shoes.
