Chinese Democracy is a masterpiece. It may not be GNR's masterpiece, but it's definitely Axl's.

Who labeled Guns N’ Roses as a Hard Rock/Glam band? They were in no ways glam. They are known as the band that killed glam. Hard Rock/Heavy Metal is what they are. Mainly Hard Rock. Def not glam. Do these guys look like Poison? No.

This band is the one-hit wonder of Rock N Roll. They made 1 good album, Appetite for Destruction, and everything after that was trash.

November 18, 2021My favorite release from them is their 1st album from 1987 and my second favorite released from them is their double EP from 1988 (which includes their first studio release, their EP from 1986), and there are some great and good songs from their 3rd and 2nd albums (which were released simultaneously in 1991) that are on the music level of their 1st album.
IMO what distinguished GUNS N' ROSES from other hard rock bands is that they merged elements of punk in their music regarding many songs tempos on their first 3 studio releases (from 1986, 1987 and 1988)!
