Is GnR "DANGEROUS"?

[Bono]

Axl fighting with security guards is a mellow Axl is it?

No. It just lame that's all.

[PrettyTiedUp763]

Only Tommy. Fear the flying bass......

 

Yes. That will go down in history for me. 

[fixintodie]

VR isnt dangerous..they are just trying to capitalize on the GNR? rep....although weiland is dangerous if u put a rig and some smack near him.......GNR USED to be dangerous around 1986-1988......after 1989 they kinda became a corporate rock band..you cant be dangerous when u have private jets and limos........

Allow me to introduce you to Michael Jackson.

Lame is what the rest of the music scene is. Fred Durst leaving angry messages on answering machines. (F)eminem fighting with hand puppets. Lars spending more time talking about his painting collection than music (at least the little troll got pissed on). A bunch of so-called rock stars hiring a singer on live TV. A million cookie-cutter clones following the script for "success" by doing exactly what they're told. Tom Morello (who I do respect) pre-arranging his arrest this week to ensure he wouldn't be detained too long.

A drunken scuffle in a hotel room I can live with.

[Axl_GNR]

Axl has always been volatile and reactionary.  He does and says what he wants, when he wants, despite the possible repercussions, which can lead others to believe Axl and Guns N' Roses as "dangerous".

Whatever. Axl biting a  guy on the leg isn't gonna change the mainstrem music scene and as bad as anyone thinks the mainstreme music scene is, Axl biting a  guy is lame. there's no way around it. It's lame.

[Scree]

Thats just a tag line... Kerrang (UK) called them the most dangerous band in the world in 86 or 87 and they've pretty much used it ever since.

[phi_kai_phi]

Dangerous??? the biggest incidents the band itself has had was attacking the security gaurd, and Tommy Hillfinger punching him in the arm.

No, i wouldn't mind seeing any of them in a dark alley.  Even drunk or on drugs.  Axl has been living the high life and gone soft.

Not my point. It's far less lame than the rest of the industry, and unlike those I mentioned (with the exception of Morello), Axl has talent as a songwriter.

[Satapher]

Beware the next BITE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you about the mainstreme music scene for the most part but in my opinion there's not too many things in life more lame than biteing someone. personally of all the things Axl has ever done that one kinda made me roll my eyes and think "My God" more than any of them.? Anyways "The Bite" is old news, I'm getting off topic.?

Lame or not, the bite was fucking funny to hear about.

"Hey Axl got into a fight with a security guard"
"Did Axl fuck him up?"
"Naw, he bit him on the leg though"
"That'll learn him"

Amusing stuff.

[HamsterDemocracy]

Dangerous? No, I wouldn't use that word.


Unpredictable and not doing stuff the way everybody else does them? Definitely.

I think that makes them more unpredictable than VR. That's why I thought it was amusing how they tried to use that angle when marketing the band.

I'm surprised you would mention VR.

GNR - Most Dangerous Band In The World . . . .







. . . .  if you're a UMG stockholder. 

[jaypayton]

i think Pantera was a far more dangerous band...

[25]

i think Pantera was a far more dangerous band...

Maybe they would have been, if they'd ever acheived a remotely similar level of success  across the globe. Or been able to complete a sentence between them.

Uhhh.. Pantera carried the heavy metal tourch through the 90's.. Metal woukd not have survuved wuth out them. Pantera is showed the same if not more respect in their field of music, metal.. as gnR is if not more.

Maybe true in the U.S. but I know that in Europe/UK Pantera never really took off. At least not enough that I'd notice. I don't have any idea if they were big anywhere else, and I wouldn't want to throw the question to the rest of the board and derail the thread. But, in parting, I have to say that metal would have probably made it through the 90's just fine without Pantera. I'm not saying they're a terrible band or anything, I just think that their fanbase is a lot more marginal than a GNR, or a Metallica for that matter.

[asstvp1009]

no. not dangerous. child-like yes.
