Admittedly yes, at the time Appetite came out it was mean, fast, sleazy and had a handful of decent songs. But then what happened? They put out two albums at the same time and both were garbage and that’s it. Slash’s playing is redundant and is nails on a chalkboard bad at times.
Motley Crue, LA Guns, Ratt maybe even Skid Row all were better.

Let the hate begin…

Disagree. Have you ever listened to Slash’s more contemporary work with Myles Kennedy? Slash is awesome, November Rain is the best ballad of the 90’s, Appetite for Destruction is Hair Metal’s tombstone. GDIAF

As soon as all the WSP, Phish, and other jam band love threads go away. Deal?

Skid Row had the best vocals.

The Crue had a hard simple driving sound that just dripped of masculinity.

There is neither a WSP nor a Phish thread on the first three pages fyi. Poor example.

By my count, 12.

They put out Lies, which had an incredible acoustic ballad on it that was quite different than ballads of the time.

Looks like you're really dedicated to absurdity. How can anyone listen to tunes like Locomotive, Don't Damn Me or Civil War and say such nonsense?

This is just stupid. If you had wanted to say something more true, you would have made this comments about Sorum's playing. He plays the same fill over and over and over again and it is pretty much the only downer.

November Rain has around 1 Billion views on Youtube.

Not to mention:

Estranged
Breakdown
Civil War
Don’t Cry
Yesterdays
Etc.

Every band you mentioned wishes they had that type of ‘garbage’

I agree, but I like Don't Cry more than November Rain
