Title: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: bazgnr on July 20, 2006, 10:53:32 PM "Why didn't Axl's band make the Greatest Metal list? Join the debate in You Tell Us."
It's funny to see the bands that made it, and why they were chosen.? I expected to see GnR, and was a bit surprised when they weren't on there.? Perhaps it comes down to Metal vs. Rock?? Either way, some interesting debate going on... http://www.mtv.com/news/youtellus/ The Axl pic and headline found here: http://www.mtv.com/news/?headlines=true Title: Re: Where are G'nR?

Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: odd1 on July 21, 2006, 08:46:34 AM I always considered Guns a hard rock band, not a metal band.
Metal is suposed to be "heavier" than GnR music isnt it? Title: Re: Where are G'nR?

Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: BLS-Pride on July 21, 2006, 08:48:48 AM That list is a joke.
Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: liesin on July 21, 2006, 08:50:34 AM guns might be a lot of things but from my point of view their not metal!
Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: Tyson on July 21, 2006, 09:35:12 AM Guns N Roses are a Rock N Roll band, not a fucking Metal band. Plain and Simple!!!
Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: wadey on July 21, 2006, 09:39:00 AM i was watching VH1 the other week, top 20 greatest rock bands and enimen bet GN'R...... these shows are shite anyway.
they dont mean jack.....just cheap tv. Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: war on July 21, 2006, 10:36:50 AM Guns clearly didn't make the list because they are not considdered metal. But how can any respectible music news site make a top 10 metal list and not include Tool.
Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: snead hearn on July 21, 2006, 11:00:55 AM Saying that GNR aren't 'metal' is seriously splitting hairs.
It's like what College Music Journal (CMJ) used to have (maybe they still do). They had the "Loud Music" page/list (kind of like a Billboard Top 100 list). Whether bands are billed as 'metal' or 'thrash' or 'hard rock', it all fell in the same list. To most of us, it's about the aggression factor. Maybe GNR do not play as 'hard' or fast as some bands. But there's still that angry fuck-you factor. That's what counts. Besides, if you're watching MTV for music, you need a serious check-up from the neck-up. Title: Re: Where are G'nR?

Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: liesin on July 26, 2006, 05:48:05 AM true!
metal for me is the way you play pretty (obvious). attitude is important but doesn't deside with genre you belong to. Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: sea of black on July 26, 2006, 06:07:51 AM Heres one reason: they arent metal. Here's you answer. Anyway, who care what MTV think, haven't you seen the utter junk that gets played? :no: Title: Re: Where are G'nR? (mtv.com) Post by: nesquick on July 26, 2006, 06:49:07 AM GN'R ain't metal, they are Rock. It's as simple as that. and there is a difference between Rock and Metal. and to me the difference is pretty big.
