But the typical hair band of LA? no. GNR on the other hand, was exactly that
That's not how we saw them in the late '80s. Back then, all we had was thrash bands like Metallica and Megadeth and the shite hair bands like Poison and Warrant.
Then here comes Guns 'N Roses. They were something else. Hair bands didn't sing songs called 'Your fricking Crazy' or have lyrics like "Turn around bitch I've got a use for you", nor did they have the sophisticated songwriting and arranging seen on tracks like Rocket Queen.

Appetite was mainstream and the popularity was built by the hair band sound and fans.
While hair band fans did like GNR too, us thrash/speed metal kids in small towns like Zachary liked them because they were dirty and from the streets and weren't polished and had a strong edge to them.
GNR was definitely more Stones/Aerosmith influenced than punk influenced. The only one of them that had a punk background was Duff.

That's b/c nobody wants to be associated with the worst music ever. That's why i defended Janes the way i did. I was pointing out that GNR was more closely associated with what he was trying to label Janes. It's not like I don't like GNR, I've been a fan of them since they I saw them open for The Cult in '87. I was just calling it like it is/was. My buddy Baloo just doesnt' care for Janes and I have a soft spot for them through the late 80's. It would be akin to me attacking Green Day. He wouldnt' just sit back and take it.

I agree and that's why they survived and kept on doing their thing.
