I always wonder how differnt things would be if guns n roses had lastest a bit longer. They had so much power in the late 80s, early 90s, if only it had continued then I bet music would be way differnt.
I mean.. theres actually few bansd out there that Ive heard state GnR as an influence!! The manics are the only band Ive heard say GnR anyway.. which is kinda weird!

GNR, my favorite band of all time, is a perfect example of rock of the early 90's burning itself out. GNR co-existed with Nirvana, and faded into nothingness around '94. Nirvana had nothing to do with their demise though. Tensions between Axl and the rest of the band had split them all up. Izzy was gone and was replaced by Gilby, Duff drank until his pancreas burst, Slash wanted to keep rocking and Axl wanted take the band in some new musical direction, etc, etc.. They would've destructed as a band regardless of new musical trends coming to the forefront of what was "popular".
