Yep, definately looks like he's squeezin' out a turtle head.

Heroes in a half-shell, turtle power.

I feel the same way but about Hendrix. I would do anything to see him in concert but his life had to be ended tragically. I live in California and when they did the Experience Hendrix concert with Joe Satriani, Santana, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, and many others I was dying to go, only to find out that the damn tickets were sold out. I sat there in my room devistated listening to my Hendrix cd's, It is quite tough knowing that you'll never have a chance to see your idol perform.

I don't know if that would help , but I believe that it would have been most likely for GNR to make crap music if they carried on together.
It seems to be a fact that most rock bands suck as they grow older , I don't like to call it a sell-out for money, since most of them already swim in their loads of cash , the point is that they lose their young spirit as they get older , the interests change , etc. ... I still respect old bands for what they've done, but I don't have to force myself to listen to crappy music from a band just because they used to be great some years ago.

Now I've gone way out of topic, but I wanted to say that may be it's better this way, you can still proudly say everywhere that GNR is the greatest band ... A lot of old metallica-heads I know feel sorry today that they were ever metallica fans, and are embarassed even to mention it !! :eek:
The point is , you're may be luckier than lots of other fellas at this particular point , so cheer up . :D

Yea, is there any band that achieved that much in such a short time? Appetite sells 20 thousand a week even 17 years later, and every now and then it pops into the top 40 over here in the UK. Also... check out the greatest hits CD, that went 10 in almost every european country.

I think in the beginings of bands your hearing the riffs, ideals and feelings from the band before there fame. Its pure and genuine. I think thats why debuts can be the best.
This is one of the reasons I have so much respect for a band like Aerosmith. The pump album came out 16 years after they formed, 8 or so albums after there debut, and it just kicked ass big style!

Eric Clapton still kicks ass, years and years after he was in Cream.

Reptile, released in 2001, proves that.
