Nirvana were completely irrelevant to the success and fails of GNR. As Gilby states GNR were selling out 100,000 seat stadiums during the Use Your Illusions Tour that ran from 91-93...Grunge had already been out during that time and GNR were still dominating ticket & CD sales. GNR faded themselves away because the band literally played its last show in 1993 with Slash and Slash quit in 1996, its not like they released an album with original material and it flopped and they failed to sell tickets, its simply GNR were on break after the long Use Your Illusions tour and then they broke up over internal feuds. Its an illusion that Grunge did anything to affect GNR's popularity.

What killed GNR started with the firing of Steven Adler and the hiring of Matt Sorum. His drumming completely changed the sound of the band. Second, the band became bloated with a keyboardist, back up singers, and additional musicians. The nail in the coffin was Izzy Stradlin leaving. He was a major song writer for the band and they never released any original material after he left while Izzy released album after album of classic rock n' roll.

I love Gilby but never really thought much of him as a lead guitarist so his statement came as a surprise. Even on his first solo album Pawnshop Guitars he didn't play much lead, mostly rhythm. I also recall that Axl wanted him to do a solo part during the live shows, but he chose to do a mellow rhythm performance of Wild Horses with Slash instead. I think his strengths were more about being a solid but unobtrusive foil for Slash and a good team player. He was also an underrated songwriter, overall performer and vocalist.

Gilby's a little off about his dates as far as when alternative rock/grunge took over the rock scene. And G 'N' R were still pretty big in the early 90's - their untimely breakup was mainly due to personal disagreements between Axl and Slash, not because the band was losing popularity. If they would have put out a new studio album (I don't count The Spaghetti Incident because it was a hastily thrown-together covers album) in 1994, I'm sure that it would have sold very well. Also, he claims that his band Candy was played on MTV "three or four times a day" - I don't recall ever seeing one of their videos. In fact, I had never heard of them until now, and I grew up 90 min from LA.
@johnbeckwith13613 жыл бұрын
I agree about his dates. Bands like Nine Inch Nails and Janes Addiction came out 1 year after GnR did. By `90 they had a name for this new sounding stuff. Perry Farrell starts up Lollapalooza to showcase Alternative rock bands in 1991. The Alternative sound was already putting an end to most 80's LA hair bands by then. Gilby was rescued by G'N'R, he had no future playing that junk he was playing, it was over.
@dowens37813 жыл бұрын
@@johnbeckwith1361 Yeah, alternative bands like Jane's, the Chili Peppers, Faith No More and Soundgarden were getting popular in '89 and '90, but rock radio was still playing G 'N' R, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Warrant, White Lion, and other glam/pop metal bands all the time - alternative/grunge didn't totally begin to take over until '92/93.

Gilby's a well-spoken individual, I must say. From my standpoint, however, Guns N' Roses were so talented that they were virtually unaffected by the Grunge invasion. In fact, Soundgarden opened for them in Paris in 1992. Nirvana was big, but their music was a notch below Guns N' Roses' material. And in some ways, GN'R adapted well to the change whereby they were part hard rock, part alternative, etc. It's just Axl Rose ran out of ideas together with bringing in a few new members who had personality conflicts with the band, namely Paul Tobias with Slash. The originals departed, things went down hill.

Those who laugh at slash are irrelevant now. Alternative is not even at par with 80s metal. Glam as it maybe but the reality alternative is for mediocre musicians with less virtuousity. Unlike 80s metal, alternative and grunge produce negative vibe. Most alternative and grunge died commiting suicide whereas legendary 80s rockers are still kicking ass until this present time.

Guns N Roses was awesome in their prime but IMO there has never been a band quite like Pearl Jam was in 91-94 excluding maybe 69-72 Zeppelin. They had something I don’t think will ever happen again in music.

Of all the big selling Seattle bands I really dislike Pearl Jam I hate Vedders voice, other people love it I know but I never understood Pearl Jams success. I love Soundgarden, I like Alice in Chains.

@@rbruggeman7722 sure not everyone has to like it. But he has an incredibly powerful and iconic voice. I literally can’t think of anyone who has sounded as good consistently live for as long as he has. 30 years with Pearl Jam now and Eddie still has got it. Almost into his late 50s.

@@damageincorporated8558 No kidding...didn't know that. I do remember Teddy "Zig Zag" playing some harmonica in additon to piano (while Dizzy played keyboards, lol). Add Tracy and Roberta to the mix too, LOOOL! (And I think you knooooow the words!) I liked all of it. I preferred them old school no doubt, but I still liked the early 90's too. Teddy Zig also did lead vocals for Slash's Blues Ball, I saw them back in 1998. Great show.
