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.

I've enjoyed this thread as well. But you're really misreading my intentions. I kinda like Jane's and i wasn't being sarcastic about Jane's Says. I think Jane's and GnR were very similar, and both were trying to take down hair metal from within. Grunge just came from a different place, they owed more to the SST bands. I don't see being heavily influenced by glam rock as a BAD thing.

I will admit that I get ticked when people who have no punk credentials whatsoever attack Green Day for not being punk. I didn't see your arse at the 7 Seconds show.

GNR ended as far as I'm concerned after Lies when Izzy quit and Steven got canned and Axl basically made it into his own personal solo act. The Use You Illusion albums are a world away from Appetite's sleazy rawness. They're overproduced schmaltz, with a few notable exceptions.
