Axl and Elvis? Philistines!
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I like a good portion of specific G & R songs--preferably the more intense ones. When Axl sings ala Welcome to the Jungle it's pretty cool. But when he incessantly whines to infinity like Sweet Child of Mine i.e. he drives me out of my skull. It more his weird personality I don't like. I can tolerate a good deal of his type of singing (...after all I am a major Neil Young fan...
) but there is a majority of his songs I simply don't care for...

fall far and well Pilots!

Don't have any Guns and Roses anymore (my Led Zeppelin cancels them out), but "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "November Rain" are definitely my two faves. And danlo, it's not called "whining"--it's called "Robert Plant-ing".

Bob Dylan
I don't actually "hate" his music; I just don't see why it is regarded with reverence the way it is by the majority of people. He is alien to my sense of musical aesthetics. I'll take Robert Plant's and Axl Rose's "whining" over Dylan's singing--if it can be called that--any day. It's curious that I appreciate many of the other major artists from the Sixties (even the Stones)...but not Dylan. I don't deny his cultural importance to Americans, but he's not relevant in my musical universe.
