Guns N’ Roses
Maybe their appeal lies in how unapologetic they were. Aside from Axl Rose’s random rants, their concerts had that raw and primal energy (even if they sang songs which aren’t even too great to begin with). Axl Rose had an impressive range, and Appetite for Destruction was stellar. However, it went downhill from there. In terms of technical skill, Slash isn’t the best guitarist either. They’re not an awful band — but to say that they changed the hard rock game is a bit of a stretch. “Welcome To The Jungle” will always be a favorite, but let’s all be honest: They were hyped up so their big bosses could pocket more bucks. They didn’t single-handedly redefine rock, they were so far from that.
