Re: Guns N Roses vs Rush (Final Round - Vote Now!!)
Bono wrote:Why would you think I hate Motley Crue? I loved them back in the day. From that genre the only two bands I still listen to regularly are Bon Jovi and Motley Crue. Of the bands on that list in Motley Crue's bracket I like them the best easily.
With the U2 link I had you down as more of an alt rock kind of guy
I don't really have a specific genre. My top five favoourite bands are:
1. U2
2. Guns n' Roses
3. Moist/David Usher
4. Soul Asylum
5. The Cure
It's kinda of a weird top 5 
I grew up loving the 80's hard/hair rock. Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses, Poison, AC/DC, Slaughter, Cinderella, Faster Pussycat, Skid Row, Bon Jovi, etc etc. My tastes started to change with Soul Asylum and when Guns dissapeared I got into more of the "alt rock" I guess. Bands like Moist, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Gandharvas, Oasis, Blur, NIN, Offspring, Smashing Pumpkins..... I was kinda all over the map and then I go into the Cure and became addicted to them incredibly fast. I heard the single Mint Car in January 1997 and with in a month I owned ever Cure album. Then in June 1997 I was given free tickets to see U2 on the Popmart tour and after that I became a casual fan of them but over the next three years I grew more into U2 to the point where they were probably my favourite band. Once Beautiful Day came out I knew they were my favourite band. So really I've only been a hardcore U2 fan for 13 years, 14 at the most.
Not that you care about any of that Since 2000 though yeah my music tastes have strayed even further from the typical hard rock genre. Bands like The National, Stereophonics, Blue October, John Frusciante(not RHCP), Gaslight Anthem, Against Me!, Tragically Hip, Bon Iver, Wilco, etc etc.
Having said that I still love all those 80's bands I loved back in the day and listen to them fairly often. Just in a different way. Gn'R is really the only one that survived through my musical taste changes without the help of nostalgia. They've jut been a constant in my cd players for 22 years. UYI I is in my car right now. Guns N' Roses were the band that turned me into hardcore music fan.
Anyways.... that's kinda boring but yeah

Re: Guns N Roses vs Rush (Final Round - Vote Now!!)
Would have gone like this for me if it was about personal taste not what I think is globally more popular.
Round 1:
GNR vs Stones = GNR
Sabbeth vs Zep = Zep
Ac/Dc vs Kiss = Ac/Dc
Beatles vs Who = Beatles
Metllica vs Floyd = Metallica
Van Hallen vs Motley = Motley
Skynard vs Rush = Skynard
Aerosmith vs ZZ top = Aerosmith
Round 2:
GNR vs Zep = GNR
Ac/Dc vs Beatles = Ac/Dc
Metallica vs Motley = metallica
Skynard vs Aerosmith = Aerosmith
Round 3
GNR vs Ac/Dc = GNR (hard as I love them both but I love GNR more)
Metallica vs Aerosmith = Aerosmith (hard as this is about a tie to me)
Final
GNR vs Aerosmith = GNR
Winner = GNR
But this doesn't account for me liking Megadeth more than metallica....
thank fuck for that
