I think AC/DC are bigger on the grounds that Guns n'Roses broke up over 10 years ago. Guns n'Roses don't exist anymore. There is an Axl & Co. band, but it's not Guns n'Roses
The only member left of Guns n'Roses is a single rose, the other roses and guns have long departed.

Dave you do realize that AC/DC has been playing to those kind of numbers since the late 70's correct? ?To this day they can still sell out a festival and any arena they play in......just give it up man, no one is denying that Guns had a successful jolt in the early 90s, but AC/DC was doing it WAY before and LONG after. ?It's time to ween yourself from Axl's noodle and give credit to the OTHER SUCCESSFUL BANDS THAT EXIST IN THE WORLD, not only GNR. ?We all love GNR, but c'mon, give it a break.
Like I said, no one was bigger than gnr in the early 90s. Do you remember the craz for the UYI release? That NEVER? happened for AC DC or Zeppelin. I am not saying gnr is bigger than either of those bands right now but from 90-93 neither of those bands were that popular at their height than gnr was at their height. The only band that was that popular at their height was the? beatles.
When I say no was bigger than gnr from 90-93 I am talking about at any time period for a 3 year span. You pick any three year span for LZ or AC DC and they dont come close to how huge gnr were for those three years.
you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Out of the 10 Studio albums Zepplein recorded, half are on the top 20 alltime best seller list. The only artist to sell more music than them were Elvis and the Beattles. And they got absolutely no LOVE FROM THE CRITICS.
And during Zeppelin's first five years or so, there was more of a craze for Zeppelin thna for GnR during there heyday

For the people who dont think gnr were bigger than AC DC or LZ for that matter at one point, all you need to do is look at these numbers.
he band played a total of 192 dates in 27 countries during the
Use Your Illusion World Tour (110 in the USA and 82 more all over the
world). Over seven million people had seen the band perform during the tour.
Jan of 1991 Gnr headline both night of RIR playing in front over over 260,000 people.
May 26th, 1992 - Show at the Berlin Olympic Stadium in front of 40,000 fans
May 27th, 1992 - Biggest show of the tour so far, 75.000 people at the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart, Germany.
June 3rd, 1992 - ?Hannover, Germany to play at the Niedersachsen Stadium in front of a crowd of 60,000.
June 6th, 1992 - Pay Per View show in Paris, France in front of 58,000 people
June 13th, 1992 - Wembley Stadium in front of 72,000 people
June 16th, 1992 - 25,000 people see GN'R at the Gateshead International Stadium in Newcastle, England
June 20th, 1992 - Show in Wurzburg, Germany in front of 45,000
June 21st, 1992 - Basel, Switzerland 50,000 people
June 27th, 1992 - Turin, Italy ?65,000 fans
ay 22nd, 1993 -Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv, Israel. Over 40 000 fans had gathered to see GN'R at the biggest concert held in Israel.
June 10th, 1993 29,000 at the Valle Hovin stadium in Oslo, Norway.
June 12th, 1993 - Show in front of 31 000 at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden
June 22nd, 1993 - 50,000 ?at Wildparkstadion in Karlsruhe, Germany
July 8th, 1993 - Nancy, France ?20,000
July 16th, 1993 - ?70,000 at the River Plate Stadium
That is just some shows for that tour. LZ or AC DC were NEVER that big
Sorry to contradict you, from the time Zeppelin formed in late 9/68 until they took there first year plus break in touring in 1974, Zeppelin played 393 stops (over 400 shows) 9/68-12/73 across the world, and recorded and released 5 albums

Well there is alot more piracy now days. Plus Elvis and The Beattles were the first of their kind and before that it was just boring music. There are TONS of bands now days with the same kinda music which saturates the rock market.

Led Zepplin was like Walter Payton...they were the greatest
ACDC was like Emmit Smith...endurance and sticking around for a long time giving the same everyday numbers, just like ACDC gives the same type of hard rock in your face music on every album(nothing wrong with that...they never let you down...just like emmit smith)
GNR was like Barry Sanders....in their prime they couldn't be touched....but the left early and no one really knew how great they would be.....Barry Sanders had the ability to be the greatest ever....GNR had the ability to be the greatest ever....but no one knows for sure if it would of happened b/c they retired/fell off the face of the earth fast
i LOVE sports analogies. and this one is awesome!
nice job!

One thing Gn'R dos have though over every other band ever is the oevrwhelming "What if" question like many of you have mentioned. If nothing else they could very well go down in history as the most fucked up rock n' roll story of all time. Sadly though the underlineing theme of their story might be "Biggest waste of talent in the history of rock"

I don?t know who the bigger band is, but GN?R is certainly the better of the two. Every AC/DC album sounds the same and they are totally one-dimensional. They lack the vision, the depth, the creativity of GN?R and Axl Rose.

That's BS. They don't "lack" anything. It's their style. And it is at least as, if not more, challenging to come up with new songs with their minimalist style.
With that being said, of course I prefer GNR, but it's apples vs. oranges anyway.

That's the argument I often use against anti-Axl comments
Besides, I don't think Duff was part of the name in the first place. It was just Axl & Tracii.

IMO sticking to guitars, drums & bass as instruments is pretty minimalistic. Not to mention their unwillingness to deviate from their sound although the instrument set-up would allow for much more variation.
