Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: SLCPUNK on June 25, 2004, 12:10:34 AM I dunno. I remember the 80's pretty well. MJ was a BIG icon during that time period, and in my opinion, much bigger than GNR. GNR was big in their own right, but MJ was HUGE back then. It's tough to believe now, but then, all kinds of people dressed like him, danced like him, you name it. He was everywhere, and he was able to to appeal to many more types of people than GnR was.
Go ahead and flame, but I remember that time and MJ was more popular than any artist right now is during this time. Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: Gunner80 on June 25, 2004, 02:17:27 AM Done!

(all in good fun) ;D seriously though, i never hear MJs music anywhere anymore ??? but i still hear GN'R : ok: and is there such a thing as classic pop? whereas GN'R is classic. period.

(all in good fun) ;D seriously though, i never hear MJs music anywhere anymore ??? but i still hear GN'R : ok: and is there such a thing as classic pop? whereas GN'R is classic. period. First of all I'm talking about that era, not now. That is what it is about right? Any MJ music is played often on the radio, and very well respected, any entertainer will say that. See MJ travel anywhere and look at how he gets mobbed. Axl can go out and not get mobbed like that. Yea, shiny socks and shoes aren't cool...I guess spandex and combat boots still are. ::) I love GnR, more than MJ, but in that era, MJ was much more of a cultural phenomenon. But agagin, it's my two cents. I think you are a huge gnr fan so of course you are going to say that they were bigger, badder, and longer lasting. Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: Mr Cowbell ? on June 25, 2004, 05:04:45 AM Yeah MJ was a huge icon. Everyone wanted to be him until he had a run in with the lil boys
Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: Suskind on June 25, 2004, 07:00:28 AM Sorry but MJ will always be the biggest superstar in the world. He is mobbed everywhere he goes. He has the hugiest fanbase in the world. I would know as I am a huge fan of his who has followed him all over the world.
MJ's music is played everywhere. His impact on pop culture is unmatched. And dont get me started on the lil boys thing ::) Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: bolton on June 25, 2004, 09:00:44 AM i would say that the mark MJ left on the world has faded... who wears red pleather jackets or even listens to MJ's music anymore? whereas GN'Rs music lives on.... and hey, bandanas are still cool! shiny socks and highwater pants aren't!

But gnr was phenomen,because their music didn't comercial,and their music were more underground than mainstreem but they were the biggest band in 80's.

i'm sorry but back in that era michael jackson was the greatest, undisputed king of pop. he's an icon. guns n roses are a rock n roll band, i know plenty of people that hate guns n roses music. but i'm yet to find somebody that doesn't like a michael jackson song. i agree with the key master :hihi: i love guns n roses, but they're just a rock n roll band, on the same level as ac/dc and led zep aerosmith etc. michael jackson is something else. cya later *moon walks away* :smoking: Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: spiderman on June 25, 2004, 01:52:27 PM i think anyone who votes for jacko should have there asses kicked off this site!!

I've been a fan of Mike since the age of 2 (literally), and it's been true love ever since. He's the King of Pop....the most talented man in the world in my eyes...and well, he has the crown.

Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: Oddy on June 25, 2004, 11:12:20 PM hahahhaha you've all gotten so offended when i voted for michael jackson.
kicking me off the site what is wrong with you people! for having a different opinion about music? since when did i comment on michael jackson's private life, that has nothing to do with this. Back in that era michael jackson was the biggest icon in the world, gnr just didn't compare to him. I couldn't give a flying fuck what he does now, that's irrelevant. don't bring up michael jackson's private life because axl is getting closer and closer to becoming just a little weird himself. the question was about that era aswell, so what my opinion of axl is now is irrelevant too. look i love gnr, but just because i'm on this board does not mean i place gnr above EVERY single musician that has ever walked this earth. gnr are one of my favourie bands but to me they're not the greatest ever. now just leave my opinion be. :peace: Edit: I voted for MJ because the original question was who was the greatest pop culture icon of that era. Had the question been who's music do you like better there would have been a better chance of me choosing gnr. When i said "just a rock n roll band" i meant that it is very hard for a rock n roll band to become a bigger pop culture icon than a damn popstar like MJ. Pop is more mainstream and appeals to more fans than rock n roll. So that is what i meant by that comment. Jeez you guys don't have to have complete loyalty to gnr you know, axl isn't gonna come kill you if you vote for MJ :hihi: Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: Malcolm on June 26, 2004, 10:17:42 PM When do they decide the winner?
Title: Re:Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: speed-stone on January 30, 2006, 04:38:10 PM Okay, I love GNR with all my heart and I would definitly choose them over ANYBODY ELSE if it wasn't Michael Jackson.? i agree, i love them both equally though. growing up in the early 90's where everyone was wearing gnr and michael shirts and their music was life to us, michael is the only artist in the world i put equal with guns n' roses. :smoking:Title: Re: Round 1: Michael Jackson vs. Guns N' Roses [ESPN Poll] Post by: T_Roxie on January 30, 2006, 04:54:49 PM I think Michael jackson won it.
