The original G'nR were the epitomy of rock

[CrazyRussian]

You can argue all you want, but they encompassed everything that is rock: A wild front man, speed/drinking habits among his band mates, massive shows, riot-inciting presence/exits, not to mention good hard rock with mild blues, punk, and metal infusions.
If you're a rock fan and you don't like G'nR, then you must alternately be a fan of pyschogenic/stoner bands, ie Led Zeppelin, Greatful Dead, etc. It's nearly impossible to love both types. The original G'nR was also the last great rock band. Everything since has been mere conformity to the system and current trends by comparison. The spirit of true rock is dying, and needs a G'nR reunion to revive it. An event like that would be in the running for the greatest show in the history of rock.

Uh...I'm a rock fan, and I don't like G'nR. I prefer music thats actually, oh jeez I dunno...good? Gn'R doesn't hold a candle to the Beatles, Bowie, Rolling Stones, the Doors, Queen, the Who, Hendrix, Floyd, Zeppelin, Metallica, or even the Chillis. And that's just off the top of my head. All of whom, btw, "encompass" rock just as much if not more than GnR ever did.

normally i wouldn't bash someone for the musical preference, but how can you call yourself a fan of rock n roll but not like gnr?
that doesn't sound fathomable
how a supposed rock n roll fan can not like gnr is beyond me

Because they suck, urchin. They suck bigtime donkey sized phalluses.

Oh come on dude...GnR is not that good. I mean I'm not going to deny that they were a good band, a really good band...but I can think of so many more bands that are more essential to rock...in fact, I named all of them in my last post.

Because rednecks are still driving around town in their jacked up camaros and need a soundtrack for their shenanigans.

oops misread yur post

I'm 19 btw but good call

let me again reiterate my post: they are a very good band. but they don't hold a candle to the bands I mentioned in my first post in terms of talent, quality of music, and especially influence on rock n roll.

Because Axl has managed to keep himself in the news by being a psycho fuckup.
