Pearl Jam Vs. Guns N Roses

Darkillion · 16-01-2003 8:36pm #1

well? how do you think is better? as you can see by my sig i prefer PJ. GNR are the most over hyped band ever and Appetite is the most over rated cd in existance

also Axl Rose is an asshole!

whereas pearl jam are all cool guys and have had 4 amazing albums, 2 very good ones and one good one.

Jammy Pearl !

Lemming · 16-01-2003 8:52pm

Troll :rolleyes:

Giblet · 16-01-2003 10:09pm

I dunno, Pearl jams' very rough sounding debut is nothing compared to appetite. And for a band that have only released three "proper" albums, they have done well. I like Pearl Jam, but they just dont compare.

Oeneus · 16-01-2003 10:13pm

Appetite? Overrated? Like fuck it is! It's the best album in the world if you ask me! They're not hyped enough, and yes, Axl is a knob! But Goddamn it he puts on a good show when he turns up!

sinus · 16-01-2003 10:13pm

their is just no comparing the two...
thats just crazy!!!

PEARL JAM rock my world!!!

riot act is by far one of the finest albums released in a long long time....so refreshing!!!
eddie i want to have your babies!!!
hee hee hee

Seraphina · 16-01-2003 11:15pm

in fairness now, i like pearl jam, but riot act really isn't the best...

superconor · 16-01-2003 11:26pm

darkillion when will you learn......
at least you jopined. after lunch!

hey darky and welcome to boards

Dun · 17-01-2003 1:28am

Toughie, but I'd go with Pearl Jam.

RicardoSmith · 17-01-2003 1:58am

I don't get it, the're not even the same kinda bands. Ones a LA Rock band the others a grunge rock band. But if I had to choose it would be GnR, though I like Pearl Jam too, especially live. On the appetite album I love "Night Train". GnR do a great "Knockin on Heavens Door" live. Though I agree Axl Rose is a...

Dr. Loon · 17-01-2003 10:51am

I think this is a big troll... but anyway.
Others here are completely right. They're two absolute different genres of music! It's a rediculous question...

I'm actually a big fan of both bands, for their two different sounds.

As for Axl being a príck... yes he is. As far as I'm concerned the whole band Pearl Jam are eejits... Eddie Vedder's almost at a level of irritation level close to Zach De La Rocha of RATM... he's a whingy bástard... but who gives a crap abuoot his personality.... it's supposed to be abuot music, not how much you like the person!!

CRONIC ARSE · 17-01-2003 12:17pm

wel u put this debate up on a vote and see who comes out on top.
any money il bet the guns will come out on top. there not my fav band but they make far better music than pearl jam by far.

John2002 · 17-01-2003 4:41pm

G N' f'n R for me anyways. Although I love PJ too.

Darkillion · 17-01-2003 7:08pm

i didnt say compare the two, i just asked who you think is better. you all have to have a favourite.

whats all this about troll? i dont understand what you all mean.

Superconor - after lunch?? que?

As for riot act, album of the year by far for me. then audioslave

kingconor · 17-01-2003 10:37pm

Poor Darren, still living in your fantasy world!
Appetite for Destruction is one of the most consistent albums ever!! Every song is a classic, Pearl Jam would never, ever, be able to produce an album of this quality!!
Admittedly, Ten is an excellent album, indeed, probably the best grunge album ever, however, not a patch on Appetite!!!
Axl is an ass!
Slash is cool!
Axl + Slash = Super Cool
Guns N' Roses were incredible, they just blew the world away, they had hard rock classics such as Paradise City & Welcome to the Jungle, and massive Chart Hits like Sweet Child O' Mine & November Rain!!
Darren i suggest you take into account the songwriting on the Use Your Illusion Albums, songs like Civil War, amazing!!!
GUNS N ROSES!!!!!

Darkillion · 17-01-2003 10:44pm

ah but you are forgetting that it is only consistent in that every song is as crap as the one before and after!

every pearl jam album is better than appetite

pearl jam had chart hits (alive, evenflow, jeremy) and classic rock tracks stream out of them (rvm, once, you are, i could go on forever!)

how can i think of the Use Your Illusion Albums when i dont have them?

Pearl Jam

Lemming · 17-01-2003 10:47pm

Let me put it this way to you Darkillion ......

If you went out and asked a completely random bunch of people to name 5 -10 classic rock songs, I would lay money that at least one Gn'R song gets in there.

If you asked a selection of rock-minded people to put down 5 classic rock songs, I would again lay money that there is at least one Gn'R song in there.

As mentioned elsewhere, they are two completely different bands, but in terms of what was/has been achieved, PJ are nooooooowhere in the same league as Gn'R. Gn'R caught the rock world by the b*lls in the 1980s and early 1990s again and again.

I could name about 5 songs of theirs that would be DEFINITE contenders for rock anthems. I like Gn'R. I like PJ, but I know the difference between great and outstanding achievements in musical terms.

As for the "troll" bit ...... your last post just proved my point. You are presenting a total inflamatory and one-sided/utterly biased opinion.

Darkillion · 17-01-2003 10:50pm

no what that tell you? GNR are commercial

Lemming · 17-01-2003 10:54pm

:rolleyes:

TROLL boy. There's no point in discussing this with you.

Darkillion · 17-01-2003 10:56pm

ah but it isnt one sided. i have appetite for destruction and whilst i havent heard whole other albums i have heard a stack of songs. basing this against all i have heard of pearl jam (a lot) i came to the obvious conclusion that Pearl Jamwere FAR superior to Guns N Roses

superconor · 17-01-2003 11:40pm

leave darren alone. yes i agree actually they are uncompareable. after lunch = we told you to sign up during lunchtime. then you joined. after lunch.

Giblet · 17-01-2003 11:49pm

But Darkillion, Im pretty sure you're just saying that because you're a fan of Pearl Jam and don't like GNR, rather than just judging them on what they have acheived.

King of Arrakis · 17-01-2003 11:51pm

Guns N Roses are not overrated, appetite is one of the best albums ever, however, so is ten.
I'm gonna go for GnR, but there's not much in it!!

Darkillion · 18-01-2003 6:47pm

im not really aking you to compoare though, just say who you prefer, which you can do.

it actually took me a few dyas to sign up conor, but i understand

Hmmm, after several minutes deliberating it inside my brain I'd have to say that I prefer Guns'N'Roses over Troll Jam.

Out of interest, do you have a preference yourself ... or are you pretty much on the fence regarding this issue?

kingconor · 18-01-2003 11:48pm

Well, darren, it appears that I was right!! Don't feel bad though, being second to Guns N Roses is very good!
On a less condescending note, Pearl Jam would whoop Nirvana's ass anyday!!!
I'm not sure if they're better than AiC though!

Darkillion · 19-01-2003 9:36pm

i knew pearl jam wouldnt have won, i was just trying to see how close it would actually be

closer than i thought

kingconor · 20-01-2003 4:15pm

Yes.......that'll do.

Darkillion · 20-01-2003 7:45pm

pearl jam are better still in my eye

Oeneus · 20-01-2003 11:15pm

I noticed you stuck it in your signature. Does this mean you have a particular grudge against Guns N' Roses?
