Saw them at the O2 a few years back. Not particularly impressed."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Saw them at Donnington Park in 1988 and they were outstanding
They disappeared up their own arses and went downhill rapidly thereafter
If you get a chance, read Duff McKagen's book about the band it's very very good.0 -
Couple of catchy tunes but more style than substance. Towards the Sigue Sigue Sputnik end of the musical spectrum0

Not really sure how I feel about em now but as an 8 or 9 year old I thought they were awesome! What else was around at the time? Think most of my primary school class mates were going mad for bros
Some of the stories about what was going on behind the scenes are also hilarious. Cocaine.... It's one hell of a drug :shock:Cannondale caad7 ultegra

OK at best. Had a couple of good tunes, Slash is a major talent but they blew it. Could have put the hours in, practised and honed their craft but they began to believe in their own hype. I suppose they had a blast on the way, though.Ecrasez l’infame0

It was all downhill after Welcome to the Jungle - which was a true classic.

Absolutely loved them as a teenager but then decided I hated them and every stinking coporate stadium rock cliche they stood for. Never listened to the 'Use Your Illusion' stuff.
Then I re-bought 'Appetite for Destruction' on a nostalgic whim about five years ago and I found I still absolutely loved it. Although I must admit I mainly get the urge to listen to it when I'm drunk.0 -
Always thought they were shyte, especially the p3n1s waving Welcome To The Jungle.0

Has anyone ever seen Axl Rose and Rab C Nesbitt in the same room at the same time?
The jungle must indeed be full of pies.0 -
Great band when they were all on the smack, and an antedote to all the peroxide and perm watery music that came before them. But, from the exact moment they released Use Your Illusion, they were totally sh1t, Axl Rose swapping the smack for lycra, what a shame/knob.0

Axl Rose has let himself go a bit, hell. Looks like he would fit in with Lynyrd Skynyrd.Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0

I remember Radio 1 having a poll on which band was better - Guns n Roses or Europe !!!!!0

By the time the O2 was built, G&R were already dinosaurs... you have to put them into context... in 1989 they were the best band on the planet... their lifestyle and music was never going to last... they weren't going to be a three decades band, in the same way Nirvana weren't...

The energy was gone by then, no wonder they didn't impress you. Not sure the O2 is a good arena for music either... it's got no soulleft the forum March 20230 -
