I pretty much agree but I'm not into comparing guitarists because what matters is if the songs as a whole are good and most of the bands I like I couldn't even tell you the name of the guitarist or they had more than one guitarist or they changed guitarists constantly

I have met guitar players that are probably just as if not more technically proficient as Slash but they weren't really creative and had shit tastes and so who cares they'll never do anything beyond covers at boring bars

yeah I know what you mean. there are many different measures of a guitarist. It's a bit frustrating though because the majority of guys in "guitar culture" seem to be boneheads whose lists are exactly what I said, top electric blues rock guitarist virtuosos... and that leaves out so many important musicians who did really creative and innovative things but are not recognized because they can't or don't engage in histrionic pentatonic freakouts after every chorus in a song.

I mean these days cultural memory of this shit doesn't even encompass someone like Buddy Guy, who is one of the most supreme American electric blues guitarists... but he wasn't in a cock rock band between 1965 and 1989 sooooo

Don't you guys realize that for the most part famous musicians are all goddamn stupid? Anyone looking to these guys for some sort of philosophical advice are doomed from the get go anyways.

I don't doubt for a second that Axl rose is a shitty person, but he makes some pretty awesome music that I enjoy so who cares?
Same goes for Billy Corgan |

personally I don't see Billy Corgan as having ever quite hit that level of hateful craziness, but yeah. we all know musicians tend to be crazy fuckers. doesn't excuse saying terrible shit, and yes, it is amusing to look back on it especially in light of this band sucking so hard

True, Axls likely more of a hateful bigot, but Corgans a renown shithead too. I'm aquaintances with a guy who got chewed out by Billy Corgan for simply asking for his autograph

Corgan is just kind of dick and doesn't play nice with others
I also think he was smart but being a rockstar for the past 20+ years has ruined his perspective and he too often talks about things he doesn't really know anything about as if his opinions have merit based on him being Billy Corgan I don't think he's really comparable to Axl |

I still don't get how people can outright hate GnR
If you're gonna hate something why not hate those lame-ass turds who sing that "This is gonna be the best day of my life" song or something like that? |

***Funny story time*** I was all fucked up, rocking out at a GNR show about 3 or 4 years ago about 5 or 6 rows back on the floor and center. I'm just rocking out and Axl stops a song, seemingly points right at me and says :"HEY MOTHER FUCKER!!! YEAH YOU!" I'm looking around like oh shit, what did I do... and he's like "Get this mother fucker OUTTA here" and it literally seemed like he was talking right at me, but the security guard comes in and pulls this brown guy like 2 rows ahead of me out... Apparently he was being rough or fighting or some shit, and as he's getting pulled out Axl Goes "See ya later KUUUUMAAAAAR!!!" Was kinda racist and shitty. |

Then again, Corgans probably just as bad in his own way. I mean the guy famously started swearing at his managers little daughter for simply sitting in his seat when he went off to the restroom. What kinda man gets aggressive to a little girl?

I saw this band as openers in a now-defunct hole in the wall bar literally a month before i noticed they kinda blew up with their songs everywhere. They were good and I'd still rather listen to the EP they were slingin' for $5 than GNR

When i saw thrm the banjo player looked like a prison extra from shawshank redemption tho
Blue button down buttoned all the way up with dark blue jeans and a slightly old timey prison haircut. Totally at odds with the other dudes |

you know I've recently checked out some live stuff from Doobie Brothers, Kenny Loggins, Eddie Money... you'd think much of that would be cringe worthy, but its quite the opposite if you enjoy outstanding overall musicianship. the 70's live musician was by and large a bad ass, no matter the genre. |
