I'd love to see either one of them do Where the Streets Have No Name.
I find the who can play what debate pretty pointless. When it comes to music the technical skill of the muscians means fuck all to me. To be honest more often than not I think less is more. Guns N' Roses is so not a refelction of my typical taste in music in that sense.

I've never really been one for the hour long tv dramas but this one looked good. I planned on watcing it tonight and fell asleep before it even started. Missed the entire thing so it's a series now that I will never watch 
I can't be botherd if I miss the first one. Looked like it could be good though
I don't watch much tv though. People would be shocked at the amount of shows I've never seen a single episode of.

Had to go with the Wiggles. Not hard choice really. Seriously who voted for Guns N' Roses? Clearly that person did so just to be "cool"

Wow. The pro shot footage is awesome but that's about it. The performance by the band was pretty meh in my opinion and I hated the outro to be honest. Axl sounds like absolute shit in that clip. Does not come off well on film in my opinion. No doubt a millon times better being there in person. If I were to rank that video out of 10 I'd give it a solid 3.
Guns N' Roses aren't even the best band performing Guns N' Roses songs anymore. This is so much better

One can say tyson vs stone cold was major turning point in monday night wars
That was acually HBK vs Stone Cold. Tyson was merely a bit part in the rivalry. He was briefly a "honorary" member of DX leading up to the match and then was the special guest referee/special enforcer. He counted the pinfall against HBK then "knocked out" HBK after the match. Mike Tyson was a big draw to that but that rivalry between HBK and Stone Cold had taken off and was awesome before Tyson was ever involved. But yeah your'e right bringing Tyson in was pretty big.

I dont' care what anyone in Guns N' Roses thinks they are not me . Guns N' Roses mean more to me than the Beatles. I like their music better, I like the songs, the guitars, the voice all of it better. So I voted for Guns N' Roses. I don't need to be objective when it comes to voting for who I enjoy more. That's all it comes down to is who I like better. Are the Beatles more influential? Yes? Did they have a bigger impact on the industry as a whole? Yes. Do they have more material? Yes? Did they sell more albums? Yes. Do they have more classic songs? Yes. Do I like them better? No. And that last one that my friends is the only thing I base my vote on. I like Guns N' Roses better. There for they are better..... to me.

Did you know Vince Russo went full on to try to bring HBK to WCW when he took over? I wonder what would have happened. It might have been a disaster, but HBK doesn't get near the credit for changing the WWF and brining in the Attitude era. Who knows....
I agree with that 100% I always felt HBK was the guy who spear headed what eventually became the attitude era. He along with Triple H were the guys who began taking things into R rated territory and they were the first to bring a real edge to wrestling. Pardon the Rated R superstar pun Being that HBK was THE man in WWF made it easier for other guys to push the limits since he was already doing it. I mean even Taker's character got pretty controversial for a while.
I was aware that WCW went after HBK and I'm glad they never got him but it is interesting to think what would've happened if they had. Maybe no attitude era in WWF? But Again I think all the guys in WWF get credit. Without Stone Cold it doesn't go where it went, without DX it doesn't go were it went. I mean they even had the perfect counter balance of the nerdy PG guy like Kurt Angle who in that era his character worked so well becaue of all the other "attitude" stuff
I think had HBK gone to WCW they'd have burried him as a mid carder or a main eventer that they never did anything with kinda like Bret Hart. WCW sucked during that time I think. They had 3 hour long shows and the only part that was interesting was always the last 20 minutes when NWO came out. That was pretty much it. The WWF had top tier talent running the entire program not just limited to a 15 minute segement. WWF was always gonna win but yeah WHAT IF WCW had been able to sign HBK and/or HHH or if they had stolen The Rock.........
What would've been cool is if at the height of their popularity is if nWo(Hall & Nash & Hogan) had come to WWF in say 1999 or 2000 and fueded with DX(HHH, X-Pac, NAO) and then have HBK as the wild card possibly playing both sides for personal glory It never happened but that would've been the best in my opinion even if HBK wasn't able to wrestle during that period.
#208 Re: The Garden » The Wrestling thread » 704 weeks ago
Without Stone Cold, it would be called WCW
Nope. Austin was a big player but he was never that big or that important. He wasn't the difference between WWF going under or not.
It was a group effort. WWF had the better stars going forward and it shows. Rock, Austin, Taker, HHH, HBK, New Age Outlaws, Foley, etc etc WCW may have had the long time legends but they didn't have a new generation of true mega stars. WWF did and time shows that to be the case. Like I said Austin was a big player but they all were. WWF had better rivalries, better strorylines, better wrestling when it came to their top tier guys. As the total package even if WCW took the lead in ratings for a while it was never gonna win in the long run.
#209 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Vs Led Zeppelin » 705 weeks ago
Robert's voice actually aged better than Axl's, too.
Who cares. Again why do people make it so technical and complicated? I can guarantee you the poll isn't asking who's better between today's Guns and today's Zeppelin because nobody cares. Certainly nobody cares about "nuGn'R" in regards to these types of polls and debates. It's clearly about who was better or who you liked better when they were relevant and actually producing albums.
If we are in fact talking about the geriatric versions of the bands well then hate to say it most peopel's voices have aged better than Axl's.
#210 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Vs Led Zeppelin » 705 weeks ago
The Stairway solo is better than anything Slash has done.
Absolutely NOT. Also Stairway to Heaven is the most overrated song ever. It's beyond boring.
For my ears Slash has created a shit ton of music I LOVE while Zeppelin has created barely anything I like. None of Page's riffs, solos or hooks do anything for me. To be fair most guitar players don't do much for me. Slash is special that way. I'm not a guitar guy, I don't care about wicked solos or amazing riffs . It's not what catches my ear but Slash changes that. He's the one guy that makes me want to hear a guitar solo. he's the one guy that makes me feel the guitar and I'm conscious that it's a guitar. It's a different kind of appreciation than how I appreciate someone like The Edge. The Edge creates amazing worlds, Slash takes me on thrilling rides.
As for the singers, Axl's vocals and Lyrics are far superior to Plants in my opinion. Plant seems to sound the same in everything to me and I'm sorry his voice is distinct but to me nothing special. Axl's voice conveys so much emotion and has the ability to make you feel pissed right off and feel happy all in the same song. Plant to me just sounds like a singer in a band. He could never take you through the gauntlet of emotions the way Axl can on songs like Coma, Estranged, Locomotive, Rocket Queen, SCOM etc etc etc.
Also trump card: Guns created the best rock album ever in my opinion where as Zeppelin wouldn't even have 1 album in my top 100.
Obviously it's matter of taste and I recognize the impact and influence Zeppelin has had on rock music. Doesn't mean I have to like them. They really do nothing for me.
