apetite, illusion, and illusion II are some of the greatest rock albums ever. In there prime GnR was everything you expect from rock and roll. I dont know what this shit about velvet revolver is about. They are not a bad band, but they really arent that good. they have great guitar licks, but the vocals and lyrics are just,well pretty god damn bad. How anyone can say velvet revolver is better tha the original GnR is beyond me.
