    Oooookay... How is the majority of Queen's stuff any more "gay" than G'n'R's songs? And I'm a huge fan of Guns and Bon Jovi, and I'd put them in the same league as Bon Jovi. Big stadium songs, fun, not much more to it.

    Hey now, don't compare Axl to Bon Jovi or he'll punch you in the face ;)

    Which one? Axl or Jovi? :D

    Also, I watched that video everyone keeps talking about. If I saw more of the band instead of just Axl I'd be able to tell you if it was any good. But from what I saw, I'm sorry, Pearl Jam has way more presence on stage.

    All it was was Axl doing his little.......I don't know what else to call it, wavey dance.

    When Bon Jovi rants like this, then yeah. This is a rant that Vedder woulda done in the early 90's. For real.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    Thats what I said. Its pointless to have any discussion on here comparing PJ to another band, there are people on here who would argue that PJ doing Last Kiss for an hour would be a better concert than seeing Zep in the mid 70's in their prime.

    You're absolutely correct. I just find it funny that some people on here think that GnR is a one dimensional cock rock band that's comparable to Bon Jovi. Have you guys ever heard Civil War, Catcher In The Rye, or Estranged? Those songs are the height of cock rock.

    comparing GNR to Bon Jovi is crazy, while I like both bands, I think GNR had something BJ didn't, attitude. They were a band that could make great music and kick your ass at the same time, and BJ however was mostly a band for chicks. But I totally dislike Axl and Slash, Axl has reported so many times now that Chinese Democracy is going to come out for over 10 years. He is an asshole and treats fans like they are shit! I had to work at 8 the next morning after I saw him and his new band, and he didn't come out and play till probobly midnight or 1 and I had to drive 2 hours back home. GnR was great in the 80's though!

    GnR's Live At Tokyo DVD is pretty good, although the stage is a bit bloated with the horn players and extra honky-tonk piano player. If you are comparing charisma, I'll take GnR over PJ.

    You can call GnR "cock rock" all you want. I've heard more than a few people call Pearl Jam "frat boy rock", so different strokes for different folks I guess.

    Yeah, I agree.... I don't see how a band like GNR is labeled as stupid cock rock, but Led Zeppelin somehow dodges that label.

    Axl writes good sleazy songs like Mick Jagger. Robert Plant is a shitty lyricist who says "Ohh Baby" a lot. Axl also writes songs about how vulnerable he is like Estranged and The Blues. The funny thing is that Axl and Ed actually have a lot in common. They were both raised by men they thought were their real fathers, and both found out around the age of 17, that they actually were raised by their step Dads. Both then changed their surnames and tried to start bands in California. Of course Ed wasn't beaten and molested like Axl, but still, they have a lot in common.
