My first band that I was into was G N' R
I think, if I was a little bit older, it would've been Lizzy
I keep on thinking that I've posted them all and then I keep on finding one.. it's incredibleAny cool Oasis songs you want to post?
Or are you still pissed that I made a fool of you?
Yo Dave! David
I'd like to hear your thoughts about this -
The reason I ask is, is because I know that metal fans (which I think you are, Maiden and others) really hate GNR. Why is that reasonable. Sure, they (GNR) point somewhat in that direction, clothes, haircuts and so on, even the music sometimes.. But GNR were a rock 'n roll band, what's the beef?
Because they're a cheap-assed American fake Hanoi Rocks.
Read up, they even said so themselves that when The LA Guns and Hollywood Roses decided to collaborate, they based their image on Andy McCoy and Michael Monroe's gypsy style with Hanoi Rocks. Sami Jaffa (another legendary Finn) still plays bass with The New York Dolls and was Hanoi Rocks' original bassist. All that said, Hanoi Rocks were/are shite. Big in Japan, yes. But in America? Not so much. They did three nights in London recently and oddly enough every ticket sold out.
Andy and his ex-wife Angie had their own Osbourne's-style television show which documented Andy's hopeless relationship with drink. Monroe is a TV veteran at this stage and hasn't changed a bit since the 1980's. He's still a popular name at the summer festivals and has had a number of shows of his own. Hanoi Rocks were plagued by bad luck, alcohol-related incidents, deaths, and drug issues.
Sami Jaffa did well out of his career with Hanoi Rocks and is very comfortable fronting his own Finnish television show about Finnish food and drinks traditions. He basically travels all over the country getting pissed and having take-away night-food. Great bassist, you might see him on any stage in town and it's no big deal. Monroe gets all the attention though. Andy's hopeless from the drink. Last time we talked it was early afternoon and I was waiting for this one band playing that night to get an interview for the college magazine: Andy came over and drank the equivalent of an Irish wake. The band quit the interview because of him and I had to finish it that night by phone.
Hopeless isn't the word for it.
But anyway - forget Guns & Roses - they're a second hand Hanoi Rocks.
Furthermore: Jambo - you know fucking nothing about music.
Invest in some Spice Girls albums or remixes of Showaddywaddy hits, you're fucking useless.
