GN'R vs. NWA: Who was the REAL most dangerous group in the world?

[jameslofton29]

It was a joke.

[Falcon]

It was a joke.

A bad one.

[jarmo]

I hate gangbangers. Hitler put the wrong people in the ovens LOL!!

One small step closer to banning for jameslofton.... Think about it next time you want to "joke".

I love GnR and all, but there really isn't anything all that dangerous about a group of almost homeless alocholics with drug problems. The music was awesome but the lifestyle...not so dangerous.

Growing up in the middle of gang violence, drug dealers, guns and the fact that you might get shot going to get your mail or going to the store...thats a little more dangerous than throwing up in an alley on Sunset Strip. ?

[jameslofton29]

Apparently GNR fans have lost what little sense of humor they once had. A "fake hack" is funny, yet a small dig at gangbangers isn't? Twisted.

You don't even fucking get it dude.

Pathethic.

[bad tripp]

its called taking it too far and that was way over the line

[W. Botaxl Rose]

I really don't remember any instances of Axl "talking with his fists".

Do the names Erin Everly & Stephanie Seymour ring a bell?

[jameslofton29]

I'll admit it was in bad taste. But come on!! You guys don't have to take it so seriously!

Oh ya, forgot about that.

thats a seriously fucked up thing to say

[jgfnsr]

Well considering that N.W.A. sucked after Cube left in 89 I'd say this is no contest, the most dangerous band of the early 90's was the Pet Shop Boys

Cube?  Bah!

Eazy was "the man" in NWA as far as I'm concerned.

[Mattman]

Good call.  Axl is a lot like Tommy Lee in that his status as a true "tough guy" is somewhat compromised when you consider that his most high-profile fights have been with women.

[jgfnsr]

I'll admit it was in bad taste. But come on!! You guys don't have to take it so seriously!

For what it's worth I thought it was funny.

Yes, in bad taste, but funny nonetheless.

Don't worry about a lot of those who are chastizing you. ?Many of them say some of the most ridiculous, messed-up stuff and than turn around and suddenly have a moral streak running through 'em.

*cough* BS *cough* ?

[Mama Kin]

Neither. The World's Most Dangerous Band was Paul Schaffer and whoever else he had when Letterman did Late Night on NBC. NBC even holds the copyright to this name, which is why after Letterman when to CBS, they became "Paul Schaffer and the CBS Orchestra"

[Saul]

So Saul, according to your analogy, Pee Wee Herman would be considered dangerous since he could possibly have a gun pointed to your head.

I don't care who you are, i'd consider you dangerous if you were pointing a gun to my head.

exactly bro. I dont care who it is , if they have a loaded gun pressed against my temple I'm gunna consider then very very dangerous. and the thing is , the members of NWA , especially Mc Ren and Eazy E didnt carry guns "for show" .. they could and would pull the trigger.

But let's not forget , steve adler hit a guy with his cast once. 

Izzy punched Vince Neils wife. ( then again , vince laid izzy out afterwards)

I think the most "dangerous" thing about GNR was that if you left them alone they would probably steal shit from your house , jacket , car and/or run up a whack of bills on you while your back was turned.

[Mattman]

Enough already with people saying shit like Take That and the Paul Schaffer Band were the most dangerous groups in the world.  The joke is done, Done, DONE already.  I thought once was enough.  The question asked simply, which was the most dangerous group in the world between Guns N' Roses and NWA? 

And after thinking about it, I think that even though I dig the music and image of GN'R more, NWA were much more realistically "dangerous".  Saul hit the nail on the head with his example.  While both groups were into low-rent theft and criminal acts, NWA were more likely to carry guns and use excessive force.  And I think that the group provided a far more oppositional message to mainstream America, almost militant in its decrying of the shit they suffered under racist institutions.  Sure, the guys in both groups had it rough.  But I think that members of NWA came out of a far more dangerous environment (Compton).

Personally, i had a huge rap phase at 14 years old, i'd listen a lot to NWA and Public ennemy, and to De la Soul and god knows what, i was into the Africaaan Moombasa combat for " freedom" and all that crap ?

16 years on, i think this was all very pathetic and that some of these men were nutcases and i am happy i have grown out of it.
There is still De la Soul i listen to and a few others, but i really can't agree with the images portrayed by rap in the last 20 years.

G'N'R weren't " dangerous" as such, but they were raw and sexy, they spoke of hurt and of love, easily identified myself to the music.

I'll tell you what, NWAwere probably REALLY dangerous, dangerous because people identify to the music and i wouldn't want my kids to identify to people whose slogan is " fuck the police". I didn"t identify with it when i was 14 and don't now i am 30. I can't identify to being black either because i have red hair blue/green eyes and pale skin, i can't identify coming from a ghetto or if i did, it would be comfy white ghetto.

But 16 years down the road, rap created more dealers than ever, proud little kids wanting to wear branded clothes, drives ferraris and else. There has never been so much men disprespecting women and calling them hoes or whores. There has never been so many problems.

Yeah, this is MY version of danger, using music, drugs and money to sell crap that will fuck with young people's minds.

 

[W. Botaxl Rose]

NWA was definitely the more dangerous group. The shit they talked about & lived through most people didn't even want to think about. I also think they had a way more dangerous influence on America's youth at the time by kind of glorifying the gangbanger lifestyle & don't think some dumb suburban white kids didn't take it seriously too. NWA actually changed our culture. That can be a very dangerous thing.

[Wooody]

well... I've never heard of NWA, so I guess GNR?

Wooody, are you serious? ?You've got some listening to do. ?NWA was very real, very raw. ?In my opinion, NWA and Public Enemy were tops when it came to dangerous...yes, more dangerous than GNR. ?

Straight Outta Compton and Fuck the Police are classics by NWA. ?Public Enemy's songs also qualify as more dangerous than GNR. ?By the Time I get to Arizona (a song that pretty openly talked about assassinating the then-governor of Arizona for not endorsing the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday), Burn Hollywood Burn, 911 is a Joke, etc. were all socially relevant and intelligently written songs that actually had socially-conscious messages.

Also, Axl obviously respected these 2 groups as he wore NWA and P.E. gear back in the day. ? ?

P.S. ?Listen to some of these bands' music...it will make you realize just how terrible the current music scene really is...it's not just the rock world that's hurting. ?

Im not from the U.S, so maybe that explains it. But I don't like rap.. so it doesnt matter anyway, I won't check them out.
