Except Motley Crue have balls in their music and cannot be compared.
Except Cinderella actually can play their instruments and made alot of great blues rock.
Poison and Warrant can be put in the same category as cheese pop metal though.
Motley Crue has balls? Yea I guess.... its just these bands have nothing NOTHING going on artistically speaking. I would never... never fucking ever say that these bands are artists. "Artists" is a word that is way to overused. Just because you are in a band and have a following doesn't mean you are an artist. Its like the word Pornstar. Its like any bitch who fucks is a pornstar these days.
Axl fucking Rose is an actual artist and he proves that time and time again.
you see this is why i rant when people put crue and cinderella, in the same area as poison and warrant.
Part of the same scene? sure, just like GNR were.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuegke22rdA i dont see how Cinderella cannot be considered artists when they put out songs like this etc. Cinderella did progress, their first album was very Aerosmith just with that 80s "pop metal" production, but the second album, and then the third album etc evolve more and more towards Rolling Stones inspired blues. Unfortunately for them they got fucked over by their record label, stopping them from being able to put out anymore music under the Cinderella moniker.
Where as Poison made the same generic stuff over and over except they lost more and more energy in their songs per album release.
Motley Crue, yknow, not the most amazing musicians. But there music flat out rocks, and they (did) put on a great live show much like Alice Cooper before them.
I understand the "GNR are different" argument totally, because they are and you are right, they Axl does write better music. The style of GNR now is very different, plus alot of those bands dont release music anymore with the exception of Crue who flatout suck ass now. My issue is, Motley Crue and Cinderella are unfairly associated with stuff like Warrant simply because of the whole LA glam image thing.
