IMO Axl was (is) the last great "old school" rockstar - Kurt the pioneer of the New Breed

It's a toughie but i'll go with Axl

kurt seemed like less of a raging asshole, plus i always root for the geek bohemian over the metaloid hessian - blame my high school - so, yeah. kurt.

Kurt seems way more phoney than Axl, but I havn't listned to either in years

kurt

hmmm: racist, homophobic, shrieking scumbag or depressed, druggy poet?
that's too easy!

Hmmm I didn't know Kurt had such big hands!!

you know what they say about musicians with big hands - big guitar picks.

oh i'm going with axl on this one. he is a true rock star. if only he coulod get his shit together and put out some music.

What is he like?

he looks like the love child of serena williams and zztop.

Kurt, even though he himself said some assclownish things during his career, if I'm not mistaken (like Pearl Jam were sellouts).

In Axl's defense, wasn't he just showing the seediness of life in the city from another person's perspective when he wrote One In A Million rather than trying to be a racist and whatever else?

kurt has got better lyrics

But he disqualified himself by chickening out (ami english: Bailing)
axl never really had anyreal good lyrics, but a killer voice.

Both disappointments really

Kurt. He would have been a great artist with any decent musicians (no disrespect to the mighty Dave Grohl), but Guns 'n' Roses' greatness was about much more than just Axl.

Just in terms of singing, too, I don't want to listen to Axl all day, but Kurt had a great voice.

Axl!

I vote for Axl also. At least I can feel happy listening to a GNR classic.

I love Axl, GnR are one of my favorite bands, but I'm going with Kurt on this one.

Nirvana changed the face of rock forever, whereas we've been waiting far too fucking long for Chinese Democracy.

It's close but, Kurt wins.

Kurt all the way.

Is this really even fair?

Axl all the way!

kurt is dead

Nope. Not according to Wikipedia:
In response to the accusations, Rose initially stated that he did not understand homosexuals, and spoke of negative experiences in his past, such as a seemingly friendly man who let him crash on his hotel room floor and then tried to rape him.

Admittedly, that's a horrible story, but to take it out on all "immigrants" "niggers" and "faggots"?...screw him. There was no irony or character building in that song, no matter how people try to spin it now.

But if he ever does release Chinese Democracy I'll buy it

MendesCity said:

I think some of the lyrics were ignorant & idiotic, but if I was to defend them I would say that he was writing from the perspective of a fucked up kid from a small town who'd just moved to the seedier part of one of the biggest cities in the world. It doesn't excuse what he says, but I think he was expressing honest fucked up thoughts.

Axl

I completely agree with this. I'm not racist or homophobic and I love that tune. In the same way, I can enjoy Gangsta Rap, "American History X", "Brown Sugar", roots reggae, and "Sister", by Prince.
