Symphony of Destruction

I'll agree with James here that GNR wasn't big at all from 1993-1997.  I remember a whole bunch of hip hop being "cool" at the time.  In addition, the pop/punk stuff gained popularity such as Green Day's When I Come Around and as previously mentioned by Bono, Oasis exploded in the US along with such bands as SilverChair, Bush, and No Doubt.  I think Pantera and Sepultura became popular during the time period as well and GNR got stuck in no man's land.  They weren't really pop but yet not heavy enough to be considered metal.  Ironically, Aerosmith their idols managed a pretty decent run of success, although that was with the help of the Alicia Silverstone videos and primarily ballad singles.

Popular culture has always been sort of temporal in that what is in one day will be out the next.  It was inevitable that the anti-GNR backlash would occur.  Now the band didn't help themselves with some of their actions.

Running Down A Dream

I try to limit my fast food intake to like once or twice a week.  I just don't feel good after eating fast food for the most part.  It doesn't matter what type it is--pizza, burgers, chicken.  The fatty oil has a lot to do with it.

I tried eating one of those BK salads for lunch and my stomach didn't respond well to it.  Salads are well and fine as appetizers or side dishes but as a main meal it doesn't work for me.

Are you talking about the Roast Burger?  If you are here are a couple of coupons for a free Roast Burger--you have to purchase a small drink though:

The first link requires that you purchase a pepsi drink though I don't know whether or not you're boycotting their product.
