[JAStewart]

I think that this every track on this album should be 5/5.


He rated Paradise City 4/5! ITS A DEFINATE 1000/5 for that!

[dazed and confused444]

Your opinion dude. :lol:

:chug:

[zeppelin_rules_62]

Yeah... we all have opinions... i used to like GnR, but now i think axl rose is definitely on my death list just above busted... sooo annoying

[Kaden]

I love this album. defnitely gets a 4/5 from me.

A note for the future Threadstarter: Be more detailed in your reviews, these are made for people who aren't familiar with the album, and yours would have told me almost nothing.

[dazed and confused444]

Thanks for the advice dude.

[Raijo]

"hair metal/glam rock" BAH!

[Badmoon]

The review was fine, but you should have described the songs better. I also believe that "My Michelle" should have been on the "Stand out songs" list.

[manuscriptreplica]

Please do not use abbrevations during reviews, it is quite annoying (e.g. go buy this if u dont have it) and also learn to spell. It is appetite, not appettite. It is rhythm, not rythm. There is also a letter called a G, it goes on the end of such words as 'boring', 'backing', and 'playing'. And one last thing, because I'm such an asshole,

Paradise city
Great song to sing along with :lol: and great solo.4/5

how could you give one of the best hair metal songs of the 80's a one line review?

[/being a prick]

[manuscriptreplica]

oh yes the album gets a 4.5/5 from me.

[epifreak2002]

I'll probably be shot for this, but I can barely stand the album for more than a song or two. Axl's voice just annoys the hell out of me. The album has some great musical work, but then that guy starts screeching. Welcome to the Jungle is probably the band on a musical high, but Axl was on a musical low for that one. GnR would be 10x the band without Axl.

[Humor99]

I think I could agree with the reviewer's score for Paradise City.

The song is pretty good, but it's also long, kinda repetitve, and frankly, not terribly interesting.

It's a good song, but it's not holy grail like you all make it out to be.

[RockerGav]

Guns n' Roses ARE NOT HAIR METAL. :evil:

[brycey]

Guns n' Roses ARE NOT HAIR METAL. :evil:
you tell em gav!

i've not got the album, but from what i've heard it's pretty darn good.

[Raijo]

Guns n' Roses ARE NOT HAIR METAL. :evil:
Ahmen
I love this album by the way 5/5 (there are no weak songs)

[manuscriptreplica]

Guns n' Roses ARE NOT HAIR METAL. :evil:

lol, the paradise city clip certainly is.

no youre right, they arent hair metal at all. terribly sorry.

[Cybergasm]

u better be!

[br3ad_man]

No, they are in no way Hair Metal. Your review was a tad incomplete, if you ask me.

[dazed and confused444]

i agree...it was a ****ty review.

[Ganondorf]

I just bought this album yesterday...it's really good, energetic and such.

This review was pretty incomplete though

[dazed and confused444]

ye i know...sorry

[Gernm18]

horrible review i bet the threadstarter isnt even a gnr fan

5/5 album and i'd call welcome to the jungle one of the weakest songs in the album, nightrain is probably the best imo but every song could've been a hit

really good album

and it's not hair metal, guns n roses is hard rock and for the kid who said axl's voice is annoying suck a dick man, stop being a ***** and listen to every song and get ur opinion that's what people say cos they dont like axl

[dazed and confused444]

horrible review i bet the threadstarter isnt even a gnr fan



your bet eh?...dude :p :amaze:

[Badmoon]

horrible review i bet the threadstarter isnt even a gnr

nice one :thumb:

[Gernm18]

your bet eh?...dude :p :amaze:


well u could've given a little more description **** any gnr fan would know a lot more than that

[blue0]

I got the CD but this review didn't help much. But overall I liked the CD and give it a 4.5/5. And GNR hair metal? :rolleyes:

[pyrofreak]

I personally like Mr. Brownstone. I thought it was a very opposite of boring. but thats my opinion. I thought your review was complete. it's hard to review GNR with out listening to them ALOT, and it's not like people want a HUGE review. I like this album

[AceSWhyld]

Love GNR! At first anyway. Review was a little weak, but unless you review music for a livin', then what can one expect. Still got the basic feel of what you were saying. As for the Hair Metal lable. Who cares! Every band that came out at the time that had long hair was lumped into a heep with every one else. If you look at GNR's early videos, they earned the lable. They were just a little heavier than the rest.

[Flying V Guitarist]

The CD by itself describes the greatness that could have been GnR its a shame the whole original crew cept Axl quit. For anyone that doesnt like Axl's voice obviously doesnt like hard rock or rock in general Axl had one of the most outstanding voices a great Frontman

[archdem0n]

Modest review...

every song deserves highest honours... this is a masterpiece of an album.

[mexicanfloydian]

good album, but gets kind of old after a while.
4/5

[Vili]

A great album, every song in it rocks.

5/5

Guns And Roses are a true heavy metal band. This loud and fast stuff of today is not metal. It is noise. GNR were a great band and when Axl finally gets it together they wil be again!

[thrashfanatic2010]

i have this album and id give it a 4.5/5 at least cuz it is that awesome!

there really isn't one bad track imo, but some are better than others, its got great riffs catchy solos and melodies, great rock record period

GNR were 80s blues influenced hard rock not glam or hair metal!

[metallicamaniac16]

First of all (yeah, I know everyone has commented on this, but I have as well) Guns n Roses is not f*cking glam or hair metal! You can't say that about a band that goes out on stage in jeans and a t-shirt (except for the Paradise City video, but it matches the messege in the song). Then, for the people who say Axl's voice is annoying, go and listen to nu-metal or goth metal. There's some voices that will p*ss you off in a second. For the reviewer, I won't give you a load of crap like everyone else, but the song Your Crazy is incredible. Definitely a 5/5. It is short, but is nonstop, and very fast paced which I love. Welcome to the Jungle, in my opinion, is just one of those songs that can't be made any better by any means. It is an almost perfect song. I say almost, because nothing is perfect. This cd kicks major a**. Its one of those cds that you can put in and just let play through. If you don't have it, get it. If you don't like it, f*ck you. I also recommend their greatest hits album.

[metallicamaniac16]

Oh yeah, I forgot. I love this cd, its up there with Metallica. Definitely 5/5.

[chazmaz11]

i didnt know slash hated playin sweet child o mine. but anyhow, i have this album, and it is always awesome to listen to.

IMO every song on AFD is a stand out song, and it I believe that every song deserves at least 4.5/5 out of 5. Some of the songs you rate poorly have real great instrumentals and vocals going, and are just good to listen to.

This album is that great, i never skip any tracks to go to my favourite songs, every song is that good, every song is a favourite.

It's So Easy does not sound like Axl because... HE ISNT SINGING LEAD VOCALS. I thought that would be fairly obvious but for those who don't realise, Izzy does the lead vocals in this song with Axl backing.

And er i dont think you'll like the new Gn'R even if they do pick it up. Axl has been reported to turned the band into more industrial, electric music. That's why slash left. The others were either sacked, (or had a falling out with Axl?). I do know there is some bad blood about.

Whats wrong with long hair? I have a mullet

[Humor99]

I think you're wrong - the liner notes says Axl does all lead vocals on that album.

[Howard's Beast]

I think you're wrong - the liner notes says Axl does all lead vocals on that album.

But you can often hear Axl's rasp-like voice in the background supporting the lead singing (im pretty sure it's izzy). But then again you can't be sure, but all i know is that the lead vocals does not strike me as Axl singing.

[Arucard]

my michelle and mr.brownstone 2/5?! they are my two fave songs long with rocket queen....

[drums4life]

rocket queen, best song on the album great bass line. some people dont realize how good slash and duff were.

[BillCosby]

my michelle and mr.brownstone 2/5?! they are my two fave songs


My favorites off the album also.

[Hitroshimite]

This is a very 'meh' album.

I'd give it a 3/5.

[sum41rocksandrolls]

you are crazy

[sum41rocksandrolls]

Slash and the whole band are absolutely awesome.So is the CD

[dead_guiy2000]

you and me have issues to settle. My Michelle is amazing, out ta get me is amazing. There are no filler tracks, every song is amzing. Last thing, do you know why "its so easy" doesnt sound like axl? BECAUSE IZZY SINGS IT

[dead_guiy2000]

Mr brownstone is awesme too

[MisFiTs4LiFe]

great album, one of my favs , g n r'z the ****

[Stonerbunny]

Why the hell did the reviewer call GnR glam rock? I hate when they get called that. And Mr. Brownstone, 2/5? What the ****? That song kicks ***!

[DesolationRow]

I like the album, but Paradise City certainly deserves 5/5. The reason people have called GnR "glam" is because, in their earlier years, they had the image. They lost it after the first album, no doubt Axl was pissed off about something. The inside cover for AFD shows them in their early days, in makeup. It's more noticably on Duff and Axl than anyone else, and Slash didn't wear any.
That's why a lot of people call them glam, I call them hard rock/metal. I think the extra wording is pretty much meaningless.
Excellent album. Wish Axl wasn't being as much of a psycho so Slash and company would come back from Velvet Revolver.

[Richy833]

"hair metal/glam rock" BAH!
1234
How the **** are they hair metal/glam rock?
They OMGWTFBBQPWNED glam rock

[Richy833]

And yes, Mr. Brownstone is an awsome song, You ruined the album reviewer.

[Iai]

This is a very 'meh' album.

I'd give it a 3/5.
Agreed.

[TerryThorne]

This album saved my life. During a weekend vacation gone awry, I heard Paradise City on the radio and went to the nearby Target. I ended up listening to this the entire time I was there. This album made my trip

[MajikalLix]

Pretty sad road trip..
A cd saving your life..?
even though GNR is great..it shouldn't save your life..

[(slash)]

My fav album of all time! it gets 5/5 from me nothing bad on it
pure class

[Richy833]

Agreed. Slash rapes all :D :lol: :thumb:

[Arucard]

i really wish someone else had reviewed it
it kinda gives me the feeling of an empty space cause this guy gave one of the best classic metal albums of all time a very short review

[Richy833]

^Yeah, get a REAL G N' R Fan to review it :D :thumb:

[enpsychopedia]

Guns n' Roses ARE NOT HAIR METAL. :evil:


i stopped trying to define music by genres a long time ago, because so many bands these days are labelling themselves as "punk" "metal" or "alternative" :rolleyes:


However, Guns N' Roses are incredibly awesomely good I love in Paradise City where Slash suddenly changes key (if thats what hes doing) and speeds up. good times :cool:

[enpsychopedia]

How the **** are they hair metal/glam rock?

NOTHING CAN PWN BOWIE :evil:

[King David]

5/5

A must own for any rock fan, one of my all time favorite cds, not one bad song.

[Richy833]

So right.

[blackthorne]

do use not know about velvet revolver guns n roses reformed without axl

[Arucard]

go take your life please

[xXAcousticTearsXx]

Last thing, do you know why "its so easy" doesnt sound like axl? BECAUSE IZZY SINGS IT
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[xXAcousticTearsXx]

do use not know about velvet revolver guns n roses reformed without axl

Not really...yes slash and duff are in it but i believe that izzy isn't

[BasShorty]

isn't the old GnR drummer in Velvet Revolver too?

[BasShorty]

i stopped trying to define music by genres a long time ago, because so many bands these days are labelling themselves as "punk" "metal" or "alternative" :rolleyes:

true man, true.

[GnRfan16]

isn't the old GnR drummer in Velvet Revolver too?
Its Matt Sorum who's the drummer for Velvet Revolver...its not Steven Adler.

[GnRfan16]

I think that this every track on this album should be 5/5.


He rated Paradise City 4/5! ITS A DEFINATE 1000/5 for that!


I agree!!!! Paradise City is a good song!!!! :thumb:

[juggalotricksta]

Review left a little to be desired, especially My Michelle. That was one of the better songs. While this is a good album, I dont believe it lives up to its hype. It has one of the most beautiful songs ever written IMO in Sweet Child O' Mine, and one of the most rockin in Paradise City. But I would have to agree with Hiroshimite and Iai on the "meh" part, and 3.5 is a more appropriate rating.
