Of course Ratt beats Nirvana.  Weird that Nirvana is even in a "Classic Rock" contest.  Am I that old that they are now considered classic rock???

Sure.  They're Way Cool, Jr.

Lifelong fan of both bands, but I would obviously lean towards GNR.

I'm not a big Nirvana fan, but I'd take them over Ratt.  If 'classic rock' means 'old rock', then Nirvana definitely fits the bill.  They're music is older now then Led Zeppelin's was back then. 

Anyway, forget Ratt-Nirvana, I find it much more ridiculous that voters so far have GNR over Bon Jovi by only a few % points.

Funny thing is when I first saw it yesterday, GNR were quite a bit behind. By 20% or so, so the fans have made up alot of ground then some in 24 hrs.

Bon Jovi has a pretty solid fanbase.  They are always one of the top grossing touring acts.

Yes they do though I would say that their fan base has certainly dwindled alot , I used to be a fan in HS, way back when Fahrenheit was out, think I lost interest after Slippery, but regardless even way back then GNR were top for me.

I have been a lifelong Bon Jovi fan and been to several concerts over many tours.

And they are one of the bands I look out over the crowd, the packed house, and think...this should be us (GNR fans).

Never cared for their sugar coated pop rock. They're one of the reasons why GN'R appealed to me.

I never really considered GNR and Bon Jovi to be true genre rivals, simply rivals in terms of time frame.

I considered GNR's genre rivals to be the Crue, Poison, Def Leppard, etc.  All bands GNR seems miles above, to me.

All those bands you mentioned, plus the earlier mentioned one, were what was popular at the time and I didn't get into any of them.

That was my experience as well back then.  While GNR was often lumped in with those bands as contemporaries, I never quite got how I could like one so much but have no interest at all in the others (except maybe a few Crue songs).  To me, GNR alone had a certain rawness and grittiness that those bands lacked. 

For what it's worth, when I was making mix tapes those days, I would usually have GNR on the same tape as Metallica, Jane's Addiction, Alice in Chains and AC/DC. 

Just checked Pandora Radio out of curiosity... the "similar artists" are AC/DC, Aerosmith, Metallica, and, sure enough, Bon Jovi and Def Leppard.

I am not really a fan of Bon Jovi but I think they have handled their career much better than Guns have: thirteen studio albums and it is only recently, with the departure of Sambora in 2013, that they began to run into line-up difficulties.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at.

The craziest thing is that if you went back to 1988, and treated both GNR and Bon Jovi as stocks, you'd grab up as much GNR as you could get and unload all your Bon Jovi.  GNR looked the far stronger bet, and Bon Jovi appeared to be a fad.

Funny how things work out though, huh?

They deserve respect. They get a lot of abuse from the, ''dude, I like heavy music'', metalhead lobby for being a bit pop but there is nothing intrinsically wrong with what they do.

Really treat their fans like gold too.  Of the bands that I follow, Pearl Jam and Bon Jovi are models for how it should always be.

Not a Bon Jovi fan.... but funny how little respect they get around here because of one Axl Rose rant about Bon Jovi at a concert over 20 years ago lol


Obviously... GNR is the choice here
