So they weren't cool maybe 1994-1998, but around '99 it was not that uncool to like GnR and now it seems more younguns are gettining into them. Thoughts?

If you've been reading magazines and newspapers, you would've noticed that GN'R are considered cool again.
They were looked at as rock stars a few years ago and nobody was interested in rock stars at that point. Everybody was supposed to be into the whole "anti-rock star" thing.
Now GN'R get mentioned all over the place and people are wearing GN'R t-shirts like it's some kind of fashion statement.
I don't think the "Greatest Hits" would've been this successful if it had been released in the late 90s.

I think the world needs Rockstars... and Rock n' Roll needs Rockstars.
- Oasis is going to blow everything away in few months with their new album and a huge Stadium tour
- U2 works fine and they'll make a Stadium Tour this spring/sumer in Europe
- I hope the new GN'R will follow soon...

Many of the big bands/artists from the 80s and early 90s are now become relevant again. First, Van Halen re-united for a tour and a new album. You have Velvet Revolver, with members of Guns and STP. Then comes Green Day. Then Motley Crue. Then U2. It just seems that people are so fed up with the crap that's rock music today and they are looking for something different. Although bands like the Darkness and Jet are pretty good, I think people are looking beyond that for the last great rock bands, many of which I've mentioned. Hopefully, Axl will jump on the bandwagon, because, yes, Guns N' Roses is cool once again.

good q...
in my opinion...
I realized that liking gn'r bk in 94 wasnt really that cool (highschool) bc like others have stated, grunge was on the rise (anti-rock stars). So I was a bit ashamed of admitting I liked them...eventhough I'm a very outspoken person who doesn't care what others think (odd, huh?)
well are they cool now? I think it's "ok" when I tell ppl I liked/like them....but I think the current/recent line up may not be THAT cool...esp. w/ buckethead (I mean it!)...when he was in, I think ppl where thinking ..."wtf??" (Think of how slipknot is sorta a joke)....
I think ppl definately see the OLD gnr as cool (think 86-89)....but the current band, it's something we're gonna see (although I know they are RESPECTED as a GOOD/TALENTED band)......
(aside: imo, I think VR is seen as cool, if that means anything
)

short answer....NO
GNR with a reclusive insecure singer a bunch of people that noones has gotten to know, no new music, memories of a band headed towards big cheesy ballads and bigger cheesier videos, and a guy who wore a bucket on his head while he mimed (look up the word 'pretentious'....then look up the word 'wank').
As negative as Im being, the only people i EVER see with a GNR t - shirt are either ferals that ahve balding long hair or younger people wearing a GNR shirt simply to take the piss. Despite this a LOT of people LOVE appetite era GNR and love some Illusion stuff, so its not irreconcilable.
I still love em...well love axl and some of the 'em'....not including bucket, sorum, gilby or dizzy.

Here in Brazil is "cool" to make jokes about GN'R and say that Axl's gay, Chinese Democracy won't be released ans things like this.
But I'm glad to see that, around the world, it's changing. Like somebody said here on topic, things go on cicles.

Well said Jarmo.
I can remember when GN'R weren't cool (mid to late 90's) and it was an embarrassment to admit you were a fan, but now more and more people are pretty accepting about admitting to liking the band.
This is the original lineup I'm talking about too.
Most people (outside fans like the rest of us) tend to think the new band is a joke, still due to the VMA's appearance, which is a shame really.
Come on Axl, show us the goods!

I became a gnr fan in 2003 so maybe you`re right.and most of my friends like bucket, robin, tommy and dizzy and the new songs, but before i showed them the new band they had no clue about it(me too in 2002). so when they release the fuckin`record we`ll see how it goes from there
