But Jarmo is right that it wasn't cool to admit you were influenced by Axl's music until at least the early 2000s.

Axl's Music?

what the problem is? you have something to contribute to the topic or should you just go on back to the VR section?

He does have a point. I mean, the thread's about GN'R's music and influence, and to just call it Axl's music, ignoring Izzy, Duff, Steven, ya know, seems kind of short-sighted.

Axl's Music = GnR's Music.   Same fuckin thing, stop being nitpicky.  how about not worrying about what I refer to the music as and we can keep this thread from going any more off topic.

[fito_gnr]

Lovehammers, it's a pretty good band influenced by gn'r

Stop pretending like even you honestly believed you can spit out  utter bullshit like  Axl's Music = GnR's Music.   Same fuckin thing, and  expect  everyone here was disillusioned enough to nod along.
You are a lot like Carrey&co in that classic Night at Roxbury  clip. Know the one I mean? You and your 2 sleazy friends dryhump unwilling ladies at dancefloor  and then go " whaaat whaaaat whaaat??? stay IN TOPIC!!" when ppl jump at you for it

Hay I found the clip;

who has been the one constant in GnR since day one?  Axl.

[LeftToDecay]

And this makes, say,  AFD "Axl's Music"...How??

how about you not worry about what I say and if you want to have this debate start another fucking thread, probably in the dead horse section.   thank you and go back to the VR board.

I don't think GN'R has a huge influence on very popular groups. Avenged Sevenfold, and Buckcherry too I suppose, but not many bands sound a lot like GN'R. Endeverafter lists Guns as a major influence, but they're not big at all.

I don't think Nirvana had a huge influence either, to be honest. In the punk realm, I think Green Day did a lot more, bands like Blink-182 and Sum 41 and those late 90s early 00s punk and modern rock groups sound way more like Green Day than Nirvana. And in the rock realm, rap-rock like Faith No More seems to have gathered big followers, or even bands like Creed and Seether owe more to Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam than they do to Nirvana. Even though AIC rocks and Seether blows usually.

Probably the biggest impact was their breaking down of taboos, GnR was one of if not the first truly huge music acts that used a lot of profanity and graphic language consistently in their music

I think GnR broke down a lot of barriers in that regard.  Not that they were the first to do it (look no further than Dire Straits with the huge hit Money For Nothing a few years before AFD) but there weren't very many big mainstream acts that had that type of lyrical content on a regular basis, while since GnR it's become commonplace

They have said that GN'R and Hanoi Rocks are their biggest influence. Pretty gay though

so it wasn't like older classic albums in my house were all censored. 

thousands of middle fingers in the air screaming 'fuck off' in it's so easy is a gland sight. it's a great way to let off stream as life ain't always easy. It's healthy and never uncool.

[Ines_rocks!]

me? 

for the better I hope!

-Nirvana was the last great thing to happen in music-Guns influenced bands just by how cool they were-it's tough to say how musically

no it isnt...listen to any band that uses guitar solos, that pretty much eliminates Nirvana as an influence...im sick of the Nirvana nonsense....if Nirvana was really that great and let this huge "revolution" in rock music why did Rap and Hip Hop take over the charts for the next 15 years after Nevermind came out?  Most 90's rock bands were absolute garbage...thanks Nirvana, dont know where I would be without Smash Mouth, Sublime,  Weezer and The presidents of the united states of america, or the Verve Pipe....great stuff

I actually grew up and went to high school in the late 90's so trust me.. there was NOTHING good as far as rock goes in that time period...Music is SOOOOO much better today than it was then....

The only reason that I post more in the VR section is cuz stuff has actually transpired for VR, not just rumours and potentials.  When GNR start doing something (other than occasional leaks), i'll be more than happy to post more in the GNR section.

Back on topic, I wouldn't say every guitar solo band is inspired by GNR, the best way to tell is by eliminating those that were inspired by the grunge scene.

Also, its more than posssible that GNR was the gateway band for many musicians and singers which openned up Aerosmith and other GNR influences to them, so the band may have inspired others this way.

I saw two bands the other day who seemed to be to be quite heavily infuenced by Guns N' Roses, called The Answer and Black Stone Cherry.  Both pretty cool, hard rocking, bluesy guitar based bands. 

[alejoyp]

Blind Melon (Shannon Hoon first band was a Gn'R covers band), Backyard Babies, Buckcherry, the whole new wave of swedish sleaze bands (like Crashd?et)... they're the main influence of the actual hard rock/sleaze bands...
Nirvana maybe is more influential (even if you like it or not, it's a fact) coz they represented a new wave, a movement among with another bands of Seattle like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains, bands from the underground that break in the mainstream thank to the massive succes of Nirvana, also they anti-rockstar pose was the aesthetic of Generation X... n' Gn'R didn't, they had a classic hard rock sound with a killer punk attitude that were a kick in the ass to the hair-metal bands like Poison, Warrant, Cinderella, etc.

[alejoyp]

But Did not represent nothing new... just fresh air in the scene n' back to basics of what rock n' roll is supose to be...

bands nirvana influenced...white strpies, beck, weezer, modest mouse, strokes, arctic monkeys, ryan adams, death cab for cutie, rem, the cure, rise against, at the drive-in,

The song "Numb" off Wild Mood Songs is dedicated to Kurt Cobain.  Robert Smith has been quoted to say how much Nirvana's music meant to his creativity.
