Here Today... Gone To Hell!

i dont get it, why aren't GN'R in the guiness world records? weren't they the first rock group to have 2 records simultaneously in the charts?

You mean taking the number 1 and 2 spots?

I'm not too sure about this, I think I've read Zeppelin III ans IV topped the charts at one time for a while (in the US) so did Pink Floyd with Dark Side... and the Wall.

What for? Taking so long to come out with CD?

Humm, there's always something better.... are they in the guiness, Sakib? ;D

I know they are there for the longest hit single (November Rain)!

they were the first band to have 2 albums, debut on the charts @ nr 1 and 2...
or so i understood it.... but i dunno, im just a silly norwegian

and single with the longest amount of guitar solos.

is that november rain?

They are. I believe it was the 2001 edition. They are in it for being the first band to have two seperate albums open at #1 and #2 on the charts.

They are in it, I just can't remember which edition, but I think it was 2001 or maybe 02.

Wasn't the UYI tour the longest in history?

For over 10 years, Sweet Child O Mine held the record for most requested video in MTV history. I'm not sure if that record still stands. I remember hearing this on MTV back in 1999.

I dont think that is correct. If I remember in 1991 and in 1988 both had two albums in the top 5 since the beatles. They were however the first to have two albums debute #1 and 2 on the charts. Some rap band did this a few years ago.. But I dont think LZ or PF ever did it. Unless the article I read in 1991 ws not correct.

GNR were the first band to put out 2 albums on the same day, and also having those at #1 and 2. GNR were the second band to have 2 albums in the top 5 simultaneously. Iron Butterfly was the first. I dont think Led Zep or the beatles ever did that, but I could be wrong.

Yes.

The Beatles April 4, 1964

in my guiness world records, there's no mention of the amount of guitar solos or same albums on the same day reaching #1 and #2

I think the record was called "Most Impressive Chart Entry" or something.

And there were also another mention about AFD... Being the bestselling debut album for a rockgroup or just a group ( I can't remember) or something.

So like Mama Kin said, they are in it...

 :)

GNR dont have the record for best selling debut album anymore. Hootie and the Blowfish have it. At least they did in the late 90's. I guess GNR might have got it back since the Blowfish CD doesn't sell as well now as AFD.

in the world there are a lot of good artists/rock bands who have done masterpieces called albums, the Beatles just make songs to call'em albums, if you hear a Beatles? album it's just has 2 or 3 good tracks but if you hear a gnr's one it's full of masterpieces so there's something called corruption , that's what the cute Beatles have bein' doin' since they were made up to sell their faces n' lyrics when they didn't make good music before, their company records spends too much money to keep the Beatles alive to date, so no matter what gnr do the Beatles will be the number 1 wrongly!  :rant:

You mean they are not in there for most Riots associated with??? LOL  J/K

That might not be a recognised entry!!! So, you never know...

The Beatles are the number 1 to date just cuz they were made up by the fucking show business! Slash is the best guitar player ever but breaking news today says : ?no one will play the guitar like Lennon n? George?, it?s fair then  ::) ?  so don?t wait to see GNR in the Guinness world records cuz they won't anyway!

In the book I have from a few years ago there were a bunch of GNR mentions.

Most Impressive Chart Entry for UYI 1 and 2 debuting at #1 & 2 in the same week.
Most succesful James Bond song. For the cover of Live and Let Die.
I think AFD was there for best selling hard rock debut too.

But yeah... Hootie outsold AFD.

Last time I checked Boston sold more copies than any Hootie album.

Yeah, last time I checked, Boston's 1977 debut has sold around 27 million copies worldwide. How much did this Hootie album sell?

Maybe Hootie sold the most in America?

Didn't they also hold a "longest rock concert" record at least for a while?

I recall Axl or someone saying they claimed the record from Led Zep. I also faintly recall that it's been broken now. Can't remember by who though.

Gn'R's longest concert was 4 hours, so if thats an unbeaten record thats pretty sweet :P

Ill have to go check my old Guiness books.

Maybe they should be in the Guinness Records, as the band that made the longest tour in the world so far... more than 3 years..l.

nope.... bruce springsteen got that crushed into tiny little bits... if im not mistaken

Damn, Axl come back to us..please

They are in it:

Fastest selling debut rock album

No,  Cracked Rear View may have shipped 16 million units (in the U.S.) but has only actually sold 12 million, while Appetite For Destruction has definately sold more than 17.5 million units. The 15x platinum certification for Appetite is outdated. Appetite has outsold that Hootie record by about 5 million units or so. (again, in the U.S.)

TO DATE the only Band who sold out albums around the world is the fucking Beatles but why should we believe in their fucking company records to believe this? Maybe the true band to do that is: GNR!

The overal best selling debut album comes from Alanis Morisettes, by far... 'Jagged Little Pill' has sold over 30 million copies.

Didn't Bruce Springsteen just play for 6 hours somewhere?

Can't be. As JLP wasn't Alanis' debut album. She released some teenypoppercrap earlier. I don't even wanna hear it. I do love JLP though!

Shows how reliable wikipedia is...

EDIT: Source: http://www.geocities.com/alanisdisco/albums.html

Even though it didn't get to number one til almost after a year it came out

I consider its better that Gnr, is not part of the Guiness Records, because it has turned into freak situations...

What the fuck does this have to do with what I said? ??? :confused:

don't quote me on this, but i think maiden's powerslave tour was longer.

you need to get laid or take a chill pill. damn your obnoxious!lol

sorry i forgot Lennon is better than Axl for ya, so go out n' buy every Beatles stuff right now  :hihi:

I did a search now myself and as you say, she released some albums before.
But she is in the Guiness Book of World records for having the biggest selling debut album. Guess they are talking about international debut albums. Remember 'Live Like A Suicide'...

LLAS was an EP. That has always been differentiated from an LP, i.e. a full album. Alanis, however, has two(?) full albums to her name prior to JLP. Guinness can suck my ass!  ;D

If an album is good it'll always be picked up for international distribution. At least pop albums. So IMO the worst way to define the record is by the geographic target area or distribution. If her first would've been JLP it would have been an international release eventually. But it wasn't. It was crappy teen pop. But a full debut album nonetheless.

Now that I've dissed Wikipedia:

Show's how reliable Guinness Book of Records is...   : ok:

wats the purpose of an LP

Pity Axl didn't feel up to it in Montreal.

Axl can damn every other artists/musician/celebrities just cuz he knows he's the best one ever!, GNR was the only band to produce greatest hits, other bands just make crap to call it music, someday would someone make a song like Sweet Child o'mine?if you say "yes" so step down n' see a good psychologist  :hihi:  , the Guiness world records just suck for me cuz it never tells the fucking truth anyway 

Errr... what?

Personally I like to listen to them. Don't know about anyone else...  :smoking:

so do i but why r they called LP? why arent they known as proper albums?

LPs (Long Play) are albums. The term is mainly used for vinyls.

highly odd. im not used 2 dat terminology. btw, no one has answered my question, wot year edition did gn'r appear in the guiness book records

Considering you're only 15, it's not odd at all. Vinyls must seem like prehistoric objects to you  :hihi:
