Guns N Roses Vs Catatonia

Message Bookmarked

Hmm... Ian Brown once claimed Guns n Roses were "the worst band of all time" and he was not far off. Whilst "Sweet Child of Mine" has something of a nice riff to it, even when placed up against one of British music's least impressive bands Guns n Roses come up short. Catatonia did have "You got a lot to Answer For" and "Kareoke Queen" which I remember enjoying at the time.

So Catatonia win this one.

2 songs to one?

Road Rage was bearable. "She's a Millionaire" was alright.

Paradise City, Welcome To The Jungle and November Rain all great

All rubbish. You sad. You wrong. Me right.

Bleed is easily the best thing Catatonia ever did, but I bet Cerys Matthews could drink Axl Rose under the table and then give him a "dirty Beppe" while he was unconscious. On the other hand none of the boys from Catatonia ever played guitar in the sea, or dived across a table at a wedding just for the fuck of it, so G N' R win.

I think Guns N Roses were better than Catatonia.

i listened to appetite for destruction a few days ago, and quite enjoyed it. the surprisingly melancholy opening to "my michelle" is a treat. it's an album i'd dip into every now and again.

catatonia were ok, i listened to "equally cursed and blessed" a few times and it was quite good: there was a powerful one with some nice harp and a big sweeping string section. forget the name. the singles off "international velvet" were cool too.

guns and roses shade it.

i really liked 'dead from the waist down'

"November Rain", dood

Appetite for Destruction is a masterpiece.

G&R better than Catatonia for two good reasons

Appetite for Distruction

four years pass...

Is "Live and Let Die" the worst GnR song?

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 11 January 2008 09:58 (eighteen years ago)

Didn't they cover that song Charles Manson wrote as a secret track on their album of covers?

And I'll kick your bitchy little ass
