GnR one of the most innovative bands ever?

[Neemo]

I think they had a few innovative moments:

1 - It's So Easy - They kinda made swearing "cool" on records with the Loud, Blatant "FUCK OFF", it was kinda hard to find rock music without swearing, for a while

2 - Get in the Ring - Ditto

3 - Patience - Totally Acoustic tune, lots of people have done this since

4 - November Rain - Awesome tune, Orchestral arrangement on a Rock'n'Roll tune (Although Queen with Bohemian Rapsody Did this first, so I guess it may not be that innovative)

5 - My World was ahead of its time

6 - They were the first band to have a Pay-Per View (I think)

7 - I think TSI was supposed to be innovative but Metallica had already done an album of covers so it wasn't really that new. I can't think of any other bands that have done a cover album since.

I can't really think of too much other innovative stuff that they did. They pretty much just wrote kickass tunes and did alot of Drugs and booze.
