My friend thinks that Appetite For Destruction is better than John Lennon.

[ElvishSpirit]

Thats right. He thinks that the Gun's N' Roses album is better than the Man, The Beatles, and the solo career all put together. I was just floored when I heard that.

WHO AGREES WITH HIM??????

[Arch_Stanton]

I agree to him being shot.

[WeeJay]

My friend not only thought Jesse McCartney was the son of Paul McCartney, but he also said the Jonas Brothers were the new Beatles. I laughed for 5 minutes after hearing the latter.

[soup567]

I agree to him being shot.

I second that motion.

[C-Pr0mpt]

He has a right to his opinion. He's wrong, but it's still his opinion. Who cares.

[Wave57]

It's the sign of the apocalypse!!!!!!!!!run for the hills!!!!!!!!!protect me gun!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zepplinmike]

Well that's my 3rd favorite album ever (Abbey Road is #1) so while I completely disagree, I don't find the statement quite as offensive as saying, for example, that Linkin Park is better than the Beatles or something.

[yaniv297]

GNR just aren't a very good band. The Beatles, on the other hand...

[Flybird]

Thats right. He thinks that the Gun's N' Roses album is better than the Man, The Beatles, and the solo career all put together. I was just floored when I heard that.

WHO AGREES WITH HIM??????

Who cares? Seriously, Jesus.

It's his opinion let him have it.

[Llama of Time]

GNR just aren't a very good band. The Beatles, on the other hand...
I completely completely disagree there that GNR isnt a good band. They aren't as good as the Beatles but they are still very good.

At the OP- This isn't too blasphemous I suppose. He could have picked a bad album to like better.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Some people are stupid.

[Robondacob]

Who cares? Seriously, Jesus.

It's his opinion let him have it.

I think you're conspiring with the heretic. Burn both of them!

[ElvishSpirit]

I'm not saying that he LIKES the album more. Quite frankly, I don't care if he likes it more. He thinks its BETTER, its MORE IMPORTANT than John Lennon.

[Jmax]

Well that's my 3rd favorite album ever (Abbey Road is #1) so while I completely disagree, I don't find the statement quite as offensive as saying, for example, that Linkin Park is better than the Beatles or something.

Yeah, but John Lennon even said during the development of Guitar Hero: The Beatles that Linkin Park is his favorite band.

[RichardSnare!]

You would not be a good friend if you don't correct him. Hold his family hostage until he listened to all of The Beatles' albums thrice! He will surely change his opinion if he does not......start with the older relatives.

[chrth_rb]

Hmmm ... are we counting "whatever gets you through the night" in our analysis? Because if so, I may be tempted to side with GNR ...

In all seriousness, A4D is definitely a more influential album than any album that Lennon released. However, it sounds like A4D is being compared against a career, which it loses ... which it should lose, because Lennon's complete solo career is pretty substantial. But that's not really fair to GNR, though. GNR vs Lennon ... hmmm ...

[Red_Coheed]

I second that motion.

I third.

No, this is A4D vs The Man From The Beatles and solo career, Not GNR vs The Man. Just like to clear it up.

Well then, I say Lennon, but of course everybody has their own opinions, thus there is no right answer.

[itsmemjg]

everyone is entitled to an opinion and in his mind he is right no matter what anyone else says

[oogabooha]

My friend thinks your friend shouldnt live.

[monkeyfish]

Seeing as how my favorite bands in order are

Beatles
STP/GnR (I can't decide which)
Distillers

This isn't too outrageous. Next time tell your friend there are a billion people with Beatles records while GnR has...maybe 100 million? (Edit: I also like EVERYTHING from the GnR discography, which includes Chinese Democracy and The Spaghetti Incident, and would probably skip more Beatles songs on the iPod than CD songs, but this is all irrelevant :) )

[PCTraitor]

If Guns and Roses was so great then why is Axel Rose languishing in failure? I mean surely an immense talent greater than John Lennon's would've been able to come up with someone other than the unsuccessful Chinese Democracy.

One of Guns and Roses best songs was a cover song of Live and Let Die.

[zepplinmike]

If Guns and Roses was so great then why is Axel Rose languishing in failure?

I think the dude has money but any failures on his part are entirely self-imposed by his massive ego which caused him to fire the rest of the original lineup and spend about 15 years making an album. This ego also prevents him from completing tours or doing other things that equal success in the music industry these days.

In their time though, GNR were absolutely huge, and for a band with such a short career and small number of albums, they still are (I'm referring to classic GNR there).

[vcalzone]

I can agree that Guns N Roses was a good band, but influential? Please. The band could have never existed and very little about the course of rock history would have changed. They were a band that slightly changed the path of hard rock from hair metal back to its roots. After they spectacularly flamed out, Nirvana really DID change the course of rock history.

John Lennon practically invented the rock and roll scream, redefined the electric guitar sound, created the first sample-based song, etc etc etc. That's just easy stuff off the top of my head.

That said, don't sweat it. People who say things like that aren't trying to have a real discussion, they just spout off nonsense that counteracts general consensus to sound like they have an original thought.

[master2uall]

As a die hard gnr fan, I agree 1000000000000000000000000%, that being said, I am getting the game tonight anyways. Mainly because it is a new rock band, not because of the beatles. I'm bored with rb2 already, and need something similar to play.

[xX_Sandman_Xx]

I'm not even going to get involved in this one, but I all I can say that is if we didn't have bands like The Beatles then we wouldn't have a lot of bands that came after them. Can't wait for 9.9.09!!!

[Rod_Stixx]

Right now, John Lennon is laughing hysterically from beyond the grave.

Really? Even with the Yoko tracks I think I prefer Double Fantasy to Imagine.

[V3R64DUR4M0N]

y'know when lucy pulls the football out of charlie brown's path as he goes to kick it? remember that?

[kitlerc]

It's called different taste in music. Whether or not they are wrong is a moot point.

[rocker820]

He's right. Any metal head like me would agree. Although this is purely opinion.

Although you can't argue Beatles are better suited for the game because Gun's N' Roses will be much more fun to play just by a difficulty perspective. Beatles = piss easy game

[instantdeath999]

He's right. Any metal head like me would agree. Although this is purely opinion.

Believe it or not, The Beatles were much more influential to metal than Guns N Roses ever were.

Plus, difficulty doesn't always make something more fun. No matter how much you like the music, I doubt many would find a grindcore based rock band very fun.

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

Even though I don't like GnR that much and do disagree with that guy, I'm tired of everyone saying how great and amazing the Beatles are. They get too much credit. The Kinks were so much better yet they get no credit from the mainstream/casual music fans. I have a friend who thinks the Beatles were the first band to use power chords in their songs...its people like that, that make me mad.

[Halpinator]

It's called different taste in music. Whether or not they are wrong is a moot point.

Truth.

While we're at it, why don't we argue over whether apples or oranges taste better?

I'm definitely not saying they were hands-down the driving force to metal music, but Guns N Roses released their debut in 87, long after metal had been established... although I will say GNR had a lot to do with the "death" of hair metal.

[kitlerc]

Truth.

While we're at it, why don't we argue over whether apples or oranges taste better?

Apples, duh. Why do you think he's a Moderator while Oranges is being a bum.

[Runesmith]

Both artists are iconic and important, but John Lennon had a lot more impact on music than GnR did.

[clashcityrocker10]

While I disagree with him, it's his opinion. He likes Guns 'n' Roses better than John Lennon. Who's to say he is wrong?

This, seriously this.

[Stevie B]

Honestly, I enjoy GNR's Appetite for Destruction more than Lennon's stuff (even with The Beatles), but even I can respect the fact that The Beatles are a better band than GNR. You just can't say things like that!

[clashcityrocker10]

yeah but he also thinks Lennon is more important. He's wrong.

I think you meant to say Appetite for Destruction instead of Lennon. If that's the case, then yeah, he's wrong. Goes to show what happens when I don't read the entire thread.

[GNRemington]

gn'r and the beatles are my two favorite bands, neither of them have any albums that i dislike...honestly you people who think gn'r weren't important are about as tooladelic as the guy that we're talking about, they pretty much killed the awful 80's hair metal and helped metal become popular by mixing it with classic rock and punk styles, it's possible that metallica wouldn't have been near as huge as they became if gn'r hadn't made it more popular. as for the original point we're talking about, appetite for destruction is incredible, one of the top ten albums of all time i'd say (of course at least 4 of the other titles in that cluster would be by the beatles) but the idea to compare an album to a person and his career or whatever is ridiculous no matter what the album is and no matter who the person is...i find it sad that people can't fully enjoy both groups and instead have to bash one or the other just because some ****head made a stupid comment and they feel the need to defend with no mercy...c'mon people, let's just enjoy the music. oh, and 'live and let die' isn't anywhere close to being the best guns track, i can think of at least 30 songs that i think are better

[Quinarvy]

Oh lawdy is that an OPINION?

Seriously, here's something for all you Beatlemaniacs.

Just because the Beatles had a monumental impact on modern music and happen to be your favorite band does NOT mean they are everyones or the greatest band ever.

Seriously, who the hell decided the Beatles get to hold that throne every time and if someone's opinion differs they are wrong and shouldn't have an opinion.

Personally, I don't care for any of the Beatles aside from George Harrison (who I really, really like). Ringo is an OK drummer, and Paul McCartney and John Lennon quite frankly are/we're *******s. Seriously, one of the reasons the band broke up was because Harrison wanted to write more songs, but noooooo, his opinion didn't matter.

I find the following bands better than the Beatles: GNR, Rush, Led Zeppelin, the Who, Bob Dylan, Queensryche, Early Metallica, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Iron Maiden, etc.

Now what does "better" mean?

It means what I like "better" and find to sound "better".

Contrary to popular belief, if the Beatles hadn't shown up, we would still have modern music. Someone else would have come along with the concept later on, because no musical genre just springs up out of nowhere. It all takes from something, and oh my god, so did the Beatles.

So next time you Beatlemaniacs are on your high horse and find your favorite band better than everyone else's and that their opinion is invalid and wrong think to yourself.

"Maybe they ARE A DIFFERENT PERSON THAN I AM."

Now, ironically, I will be going back to my Beatles thread.

[ArchangelZero]

^Geez, coulda just said, "People have their own opinions. Respect them."

There are millions of other fanboys who'd do the same for their own band. The fact that you're singling us out for something like this is very one sided.

If you were to put a thread saying "My friend thinks the Beatles are better than GNR" in a metal thread, I bet you, they'd do the exact same thing the people here did. Blaming Beatlemaniacs for one thing that 99% of the music community do is completely idiotic.

So next time, why don't you get off your high horse, and realize that humanity does this because we are biased towards something. It's a given. You can't change that unless you want to get rid of individuality completely, and considering how much you championed being different, I doubt you'll want to do that.

And plus, you cannot mistake that the Beatles had a great musical impact. True, if they hadn't had existed, modern music would probably still be here, but it would be here a whole hell lot later than it did if they weren't around. They spearheaded the UK classic rock bands that pretty much started it all, and many agree that the time was becoming bleaker and bleaker for rock and roll with many influential musicians going out, until the Beatles arrived on the scene and completely solidified rock.

[MrFruitLord]

OPINIONS THAT DON'T CORRELATE WITH MINE SUCK!
Don't post anything like this, ever.

[40FootWolf]

Your friend is a simpleton.

[overcookedbacon]

"WAAAAH, THIS GUY IS DUMB FOR NOT LIKING THE BEATLES!!!!!"

"WAAAAH, BEATLES ARE THE BEST HE SHOULD DIE!!!!!"

"WAAAAH, RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS!!!!!"

Man, these threads always seem to generate the exact same discussion every single time... Soooooo boring. For once I wish a "Beatles is the best" thread would generate a productive discussion, but I guess that's nothing more than wishful thinking.

[ArchangelZero]

^That is because people start taking overly biased opinions and posting them, thus leading to a chain of reactions, causing the discussion to devolve into "General Opinion vs. Choice of opinion"

[Rocket2Russia]

True, if they hadn't had existed, modern music would probably still be here, but it would be here a whole hell lot later than it did if they weren't around.

Let's not forget, too, that they DID, in fact, exist. You cannot change that. In this reality, The Beatles were one of the early sparks that lit the fire of modern music.

[Quinarvy]

*facepalm*

I was talking to the Beatlemaniacs in this thread. I'd say the same to Rushins (even though I'm one) or Led Heds

There's a line between being biased and saying someone is stupid for proclaiming their band is better than yours. Being biased doesn't instantly mean you can hate on others opinions. This is why Stupid Things was deleted.

And of course I know the Beatles had a huge impact on music, I said they did in my post. But I'm also saying they aren't the end all, be all of music that some people think they are. Someone else would have picked up where Elvis left off.

Hey, you know what? Without Les Paul, there'd be no Beatles. Without Bob Dylan, the Beatles would have been a crappy boy band forever. Oh god, maybe their better because of their influence, which is the only thing I ever hear from Beatlemaniacs "The Beatles influenced modern music more than anyone, so they are better."

Also, I doubt a metal thread would defend GNR, since they weren't, you know, metal.

[1billion]

My friend not only thought Jesse McCartney was the son of Paul McCartney, but he also said the Jonas Brothers were the new Beatles. I laughed for 5 minutes after hearing the latter.

they kinda are like the new beatles...

[Supposed Current RockBand Junkie]

Let yer friend have his opinion...I don't know how many times to say that to people.

But comparing anything with Axl to Lennon, let alone the Beatles?! I personally find that hard to stomach.

[Evilbottom]

A bit of a weird comparison, saying that an album is better than someones career. But its completely wrong. John Lennon, along with The Beatles, did more to influence music than GnR in its entirety

[DrewLee865]

A bad album > A great band?

[Rocket2Russia]

Let yer friend have his opinion...I don't know how many times to say that to people.

OK. I think that people get confused on this so I'll say it here: someone's opinion and the greatest bands/albums/whatevers of all time shouldn't affect each other.

For example, one of my favorite bands is Bad Religion. Would I go so far as to say that they are one of the greatest 100 bands of all time? **** no. I can also objectively say that Queen is a great band, but I personally don't like very much by them.

Comparing GnR to John Lennon is ridiculous. GnR were an average band with little to no effect on music or the world.

John Lennon was one of the mother****ing Beatles. People can argue that they're overrated, citing that other bands could have hit it as big, but face it: in this reality, they DID hit it the biggest. John Lennon as a musician had a great solo career by any standard, creating John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, two fantastic albums. As a person, John Lennon influenced countless youth with his music and just himself. He was a very important person lifted by his music to such a pedestal. GnR did nothing to influence any layperson's world view.

tl;dr: John Lennon, the man and musician, was a greater force in the world than GnR, and that is indisputable.


they kinda are like the new beatles...

Except that they're just average, and no youth has any new view brought on by them. Would you cite the Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC as the Beatles of the 90's?

[Hastyl3]

Why should we care?

[gmarsh]

Here is my thought.

The Beatles>>>>>>>>>>>Guns N' Roses>>>>>Lennon's Solo Career.

[Rocket2Russia]

The Beatles>Lennon's Solo Career>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Guns N' Roses

Fix'd

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine are two of the greatest albums ever. GnR's best album is Appetite for Destruction, which is inferior in so many ways to both of the previously mentioned Lennon albums.

[Lithuanian_Boy]

they kinda are like the new beatles...

I agree, not musically. But they're having the same effect on the female population. Further studies need to be made.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I think you meant to say Appetite for Destruction instead of Lennon. If that's the case, then yeah, he's wrong. Goes to show what happens when I don't read the entire thread.
wait, um, yeah I got those mixed up lol. I meant the opposite. I haven't been getting much sleep lately.

Beatles aren't the end-all-be-all of anything. But they were very good, and when it comes to influence this argument is valid: If it weren't for Lennon there would be no GnR.

[gmarsh]

Fix'd

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine are two of the greatest albums ever. GnR's best album is Appetite for Destruction, which is inferior in so many ways to both of the previously mentioned Lennon albums.

Those albums had mostly, a bigger impact on music, however I'm bias because I never liked Lennons Solo career that much, and appetite is one of my all time favorite albums.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I almost cried when I heard "Mother" the first time. I was already familiar with his background but I didn't know he wrote about it that much, aside from Julia.

[Rocket2Russia]

I almost cried when I heard "Mother" the first time.

I DID cry when I first heard "Mother", and I continued to, like a baby, throughout the album. The emotions are so palpable, and for me personally, they strike a lot of chords.

Influential, of course Lennon gets the nod. Better, well, see previous 8 pages.

Meh, so what, opinions differ, it's what makes the world interesting and opens avenues for converstaion and debate. Not everyone likes The Beatles.

Well, "better" is a pretty loose word, and I think his friend meant it in all ways possible, but I won't put words in his mouth. How did he defend such a statement, OP?

[ArmsAreLoud]

Appetite IS better than Lennon.

Nothing else by GNR even comes close, though.

[DrewLee865]

[Pwnz0r3d]

My friend not only thought Jesse McCartney was the son of Paul McCartney, but he also said the Jonas Brothers were the new Beatles. I laughed for 5 minutes after hearing the latter.

I couldnt really care less for the guys opinion on Lennon and Appetite (although you really cant compare an album to a man, his music, and the band he was in)
But this is just outrageous.
The Jonas Bros wishes that they could be even be a tiny fraction as famous as the Beatles

[Mega-Tallica]

*opens mouth*

*closes mouth*

I'll keep my opinion on this one to myself.

[Rocket2Russia]

The Jonas Bros wishes that they could be even be a tiny fraction as famous as the Beatles

Well, they also think that they have a "Bob Dylan stage" just waiting to happen, according to The [Worst Major Music Resource on the Planet] Rolling Stone.

[Runesmith]

I think The Jonas Brothers are set to become the next Hanson: once they all hit their late teens/early twenties (a la the age at which they are no longer marketable) they will fade into complete obscurity only to return a few years later as a moderately successful and critically well-received power-pop band.

Fixed so that your comment isn't homophobic or inaccurate.

Also, do you just dislike The Beatles because of their fan base? That's pretty weak.

And what do you mean by Lennon-worshiping fa*gots? Do you hate "Elvis-worshiping fa*gots", you know, those who liked his music and were touched by it at young ages? What about "Michael Jackson-worshiping fa*gots"?

no, and thank you for fixing my post but I also seem to be the only person in the world that dislikes the Beatles musically, the only song I ever truly liked was Come Together and I DL'ed all of the leaked remasters, so I've heard a majority of their stuff I just flat out don't like it


and by the whole Lennon-worshiping thing, I'm talking about the people who walk around preaching about him like a god, (I go to a community college which is filled with hippies so maybe that has something to do with it as well)

so its a mix of the songs and the fanbase

granted there are worse fanbases, (i.e. a7x, brokencyde) but those bands aren't praised like gods among mortals

Also, if you truly just dislike The Beatles' music, fine. It's not my place to try to change that thought, especially if you've heard all of the remasters and found nothing.

[Tank9088]

I like Appetite better than Lennon's solo career, and I like Guns N' Roses (slightly) better than The Beatles. However, if we're going by influential, it's not even close. Obviously, Lennon and The Beatles are more influential.

Sure it is. The thing is, the people who are immortalizing Zepp are quickly hushed on the HoR forums or introduced to better music.

That said, you haven't? The only albums of theirs I'm crazy about are I, II, III and HotH, but Presence and IV are cool too.

He was around when I lurked, and he didn't seem too nice a fellow to have around. He preached Zeppelin door-to-door 24/7. Luckily, no one converted.

I always thought it was funny that such a hardcore Zep fan boy didn't even know they formed in 1968, not 1969...
