Agree, if they woulda kept going they might have been, but the Seattle scene and axl kinda killed that momentum. I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, but I think in the context of time G n R were about as big a rock band since Zeppelin...worldwide.

Nirvana kinda made the scene where g n roses came from uncool.

Guns n Roses is a band where u gotta strip away the image and persona a bit and just listen to the music. Very much like the grateful dead...the scene and image of the dead, a lot of folks didn't like, were turned off, etc. But if you just listen to the dead for the music, then you realize "holy shit, super talented, innovative, original," etc. Guns n Roses gotta do a little bit of that. Use your illusion albums are about as well written, strong musically, complex, and well produced and arranged as the top all time rock albums. Appetite is just a raw rocker...use your illusions albums really underrated musically.
