Metallica or Guns N Roses?
 

Let's settle this once and for all TL. :mad:

Results don't lie.

People who know good music vote GnR, people who don't know what they're on about, vote Metallica. Unfortunately, it seems most people don't know what they're on about. ;)

Anyway, regardless of what this poll says, GnR made great music that will never be forgotten, Metallica have just been around for longer so people are more likely to vote for them based on that.

G 'N' R, pretty easily.

Blitz, you're my favourite poster now.

Blitz, The One was right.

The one was wrong.

The one can only ever be right if he's a GnR fan.

GnR

Metallica. Don't get me wrong, Lars sucks. And Metallica are a bunch of cocksuckers. And they're overrated. But MEtallica > GnR.

Fair enough KK. :heart:

Metallica.

GNR is pretty over rated

Megadeth

GNR is pretty over rated

Overrated in what sense? They made a massive impact during their short time they were around and were the biggest band at the time. Its not the length of time a band is around for that matters, but the impact made.

GnR by far. Metallica are ok I guess but GnR has better songs and Slash is a better guitarist and all that.

^ Exactly. Slash > anyone in Metallica. Infact, Slash > anyone. Atleast with GnR, you aren't getting the same songs over and over, they actually tried to be creative.

Yeah, Metallica isn't too popular these days.. but they are better than Guns n Roses. A lot better.

Now what was it Funky said the last time you made a comment like that?

Dunno.. for all the old rock I used to listen to, the only songs I even remember by GnR are "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Sweet Child of Mine", and the second is only because of Guitar Hero 2. But, I know I've listened to a lot more than that by GnR.

Not a very big impact if I can only remember 2 songs that they did.

There's my answer.

NOw there's a coincidence, guess what's being played on the radio right now, and guess what the only GNR song I ever hear is on right now....Welcome to the Jungle.

I really want to change the station cuz I'm sick of this song.

The world is bigger than you and what you remember. I've got loads of stuff from them on youtube of their live performances, if you like that sort of music you'll like them. Check how many times comments such as 'best band in the world' come after the video. If songs can stay with someone after 15 years(like don't cry has..seen someone comment about that before on there) then thats a pretty big impact.

The Spaghetti Incident should be burned!

At least Metallica's bad albums were still good. SI was just pure crap

^ Metallicas bad albums were shit. The only songs i really like from them are 'Unforgiven' and 'Nothing else matters', every other song is the same rubbish tbh.

Nothing else matters? Thats from their highest selling record. Shit eh?

I said I liked it, i don't get what your point is. read my point again. Anyway, its cool. Don't mean to come off negatively here, just arguing why GnR aren't overrated like some people think, you need to hear them live really to understand the impact they had.

He's a huuuuge Metallica fan. One of the most overrated bands ever. Don't sweat him too much.

Seriously, you could put forth the argument that people only remember, say, "Enter Sandman" and "the Unforgiven." Or your choices work. People could cherry pick shit as much as they wanted. But it doesn't matter.


To be honest, GNR probably are overrated. outside this board, though, I don't know anyone who really likes them beyond a few songs, so I can't call them overrated from my specific experience. They've never been hyped, to me, as revolutionary or groundbreaking or "best ever."

Take me down to the Paradise City
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

OH WONT YOU PLEASE TAKE ME HOMEEEEEEEE

Too bad they had Axl. That's enough reason as to why they kinda suck.

I like music from that genre.. I also like those two songs that I mentioned. I don't, however, like anything else that they've done. The world is also bigger than you and what your favorite band in the world is, so obviously other people couldn't give two shits that you think GnR is the greatest band ever.

That's like me making a thread saying why Tool is better than "X" band, and expecting everyone to agree with me. I think Tool is one of the greatest bands ever, for their sheer musical talent and how they all work so well together in just (in my opinion) sounding amazing. Not their influence or whatever, but because I think they go perfect together. I think they are some of the most talented individuals in the music industry.

Does that mean I expect anyone to agree with me? No. In fact, I would expect quite a few people to disagree with me here. Now pull your panties out of your crack and go back to listening to what I consider mediocre music. :y:

GNR :love:

November Rain is sick. GNR's version of 'Live and Let Die' is the tops as well, Req. Check those two out I say.

Metallica wins because of ...And Justice For All though.

I like GnR better

Load was a solid album. S&M was awesome. Only Metallica could have pulled that off. No Leaf Clover is an amazing song.

I do admit St Anger is pure shit.

Metallica, no contest

I love you, Aussie. :D

Yeah, S&M was amazing. Dunno what you're on about FA.
