GN'R vs Metallica on 92.3 K-Rock's March Bracket Brawl MAR 28th at 4pm EDT

[freddiebrph]

It really is a shame that almost EVERY topic on these boards turn into the same old shit. New vs old. I try hard not to give in to it, but lets look at who always seems to bring it up. You start reading this post, and its pretty simple, vote for your favorite band. So about 10 post go by, until someone has to say "I assume they mean todays line up".

Yeah, and then you're happy to be the guy who has to start reminding us all about the past....

I mean, you're the guy who's called GN'R a cover band. So I guess you're one of the "real fans". 



Some of your heroes wanted GN'R to be dead and buried by now. The same people who are out there playing GN'R songs in their new bands while claiming they've moved on.

They didn't get their way, and that's why you have GN'R "covering GN'R songs".

I think it's time for you to deal with the reality that in 2008, GN'R doesn't have anything to do with those guys.


People don't fucking vote for the former members when they vote for a band who's music they like.

Many of us fans don't make a fucking difference. It's all GN'R to us.

We are all aware of the band's history, it seems that a group of bitter fucking people are always inclined to remind us of the past.

The clich? line "I'm not putting the new band down, I love them BUT...." is often present in these posts.

Well, you just brole the streak of being right all the time. You are talking as if I am one of those bitter people. Sure, I am not going to deny it, afd, uyi, lies, even SI are my favorite all time cd;s from my favorite band. When and IF chinese D. comes out, it will be added to that list. I see gnr for what they were AND are today. And as I stated, I really do try and not get mixed up in the old vs new. people are free to like what ever they want. I did use the term "cover band" at times. ONLY when other people come on here and say that this new bands "ownes" the songs because axl bought them? There was a time Michael Jackson bought the rights to the beatles catalogue. If he decided to play only beatle songs at his next concert with paul mcartney on paino, does that make them the beatles? I seen the old band 3 times and the new band 2 times. If they tour this year (with or with out a cd) I will see them again. I am not bitter, I really do enjoy the music. Even you have to admit that it gets disappointing at times that we dont get to hear some new songs, that all. What is wrong with wanting your favorite lead singer to sing some new songs? And as far as VR playing guns songs, why should they, they were part of them too. You say they wanted to move on, but play old songs. I have heard Axl say many times in the past that BOTH he and slash were moving in different directions. But they BOTH seem to be stuck playing songs that they were BOTH part of.

I don't know what you're on about. Axl didn't buy any songs as far as I can remember.


I love all the old albums as well. I just don't get all upset when somebody thinks the new band plays those old songs better.

I just think it's a real waste of energy to try to cling onto the past like some of these so called "real fans" do.

Things happened, things changed, this is what reality is in 2008. Deal with it.

Instead of dealing with it, they're telling everybody how the new band sucks. I don't need that kind of people here as I've stated in the past.

We have an open door policy. Just leave if it's too much to handle to see a bunch of people supporting GN'R in 2008 while your heroes are out there pretending to be dangerous unpredictable rock stars.



The whole name thing is pretty simple. As long as Axl calls the band GN'R, it's GN'R.

You can't change that.

Must suck to have that chip on your shoulder. "My favorite band has the same name as they always did but my favorite guy quit the band and there's nothing I can do about it!  "



I'm glad you're not one of those guys who love to bring the old band into every thread. 


Now get back on topic.

yeah my bracket had GNR beating Nirvana in the finals....now I tried not to be bias, but I honestly think GNR are better than Metallica and Zeppelin...I know some people might not agree but oh well...Metallica and Zeppelin are great bands but I thought GNR was better...and I like Nirvana but I always thought GNR blowed them out of the water...I never really got the whole grunge thing when it happened....

I can't believe it was even that close.

[Bodhi]

I thought that Beatie Boy matchup would have been a little closer...K ROck is the rock station here in my area and you would be surprised the kind of bullshit they play...I think its going to come down to GNR vs Metallica in the elite 8...that is going to be a tough one

[coolman78SLASH]

Ok, so now its ACDC (w/ Brian) vs GNR

[Atillla]

It's very silly to make a sport contest out of music.

[SINSHINE]

Yeah...I live in the Tri-State too but I gotta say this NEW version of K-Rock is nowhere near as bad as the one of a few years ago. I heard Estranged on their station about two weeks ago and nearly crashed the car. I've never heard that song on the radio before...not even when the video was released.

Regardless...I think this latest airplay stunt might work out well for the station and just might keep them from going back to the 'talk' format. Now THAT blew!

I didn't think it would be that decisive.  But, AC/DC has nowhere near the depth of GN'R and nothing they did ever approached Appetite.

Back In Black is the 2nd greatest hard rock album ever, right behind Appetite.  But not too far behind.
