Damn_Smooth Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 20 years on, Slash, Duff, Adler and Sorum take you inside the "whirlwind of sh*t" that broke the band and ended an era.That will hardly be biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cancerface Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 fuck this shit. i hope axl sues the hell out of that magazine for putting slash on the cover. it will only lead people to mistakenly believe that slash has anything to do with guns n' roses, which he does not. they should have featured fortus, bbf and ashba on the cover since they are guns n' roses and slash is not.

saber_ Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Some people just love attention (like the o.p.), so they post things in the wrong forum on purpose.Attention whores, lol.

lbo Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) 20 freaking years! And I still play UYI1 when i drive! I hate driving, but that album makes it seem joyful! And I read somewhere about that kid that is swimming on Nirvanas cover that was weird. I know it is off topic, but anyone know something about that picture?Long live GNR!

star Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) There's a section for this topic, it's called Original GNR.That's a topic for debate, as there has been many line up's. I prefer to call the Duff, Slash, Izzy, Axl,Adler era 'Classic GN'R''Original GN'R' included Tracii Guns. 'Nu-Gn'R' was more the Brain, Bucket, Robin Era. The BF, DJA, Frank Era I view as 'Nu-GN'R2' Edited July 1, 2011 by star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketQueen1985 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Why does every thread have to turn into a bitch fest? I can't believe a magazine cover can piss people of so much! They are celebrating the 20th annivesary of UYI, isn't that just a good thing? If the article was about them performing at RIR or about CD then yeah a current member should've been on the cover, but Slash is on the YUI albums which this article is about. The thing I noticed is "where are the others?" You know, the rest of the band. GNR wasn't/isn't just about Axl and Slash but the focus are always on the two cause of their feud which overshadows the music and the other band members who were just as much a part of GNR as the other two and should be on the cover as well, don't you think? We could argue about who should and who shouldn't be on the cover OR we could talk about the article and UYI and what we love about those albums and that era.
