How am I too stupid to say anything?
I guess if being stupid prohibits me from being a total a$$hole then I'm glad.

As for Back in Black, like I said before but you were too stupid to understand, biggest band in the world does not just go by one album sales, you also have to add in touring and all that other stuff I said before. I know you read all that but again you were too stupid to understand that.

Now on to your little list.
1. I NEVER said gnr were the best band since the beatles, I said BIGGEST.
Learn to read again and stop trying to put words in my mouth since you are not smart enough to do that.

2. See #1 since you seem to be really slow.

3. That was always my statement.

4. Guns n roses were the biggest band from 87-93 AND they were the biggest band in the world since the beatles, ITS BOTH.

No band was as big as gnr was when the UYIs came out. I am not going to go in circles again. I am sorry if you are not smart enough to follow along.
OOOOOOOOOOH YOU DIDNT JUST SAY GnR WERE THE BIGGEST BAND SINCE THE BEATLES.... two words for you...LED-ZEPPELIN. 200 million album sales worldwide. 117.5 album sales in the US, 3 top 10 albums at one time, 7 consecutive #1 albums. 22 million in the US for led zeppelin IV- 4th biggest album of all time in the US. GnR do not come anywhere close to this band. pink floyd were also MUCH bigger. sorry, i know i said i wouldnt reply anmore, but i couldnt resist

Good evening i unzipped my skin

exactly as i always do when i prepare myself for bed
and while i slept this co-co came as naked as could be
he put on the skin and screwed on the head
that once belonged to me

That's what I was saying about Pink Floyd and AC/DC, but I guess I'm not big enough of an a$$hole to prove a point to draven, he is a God or something.

well this argument stretched for longer then it should've...congrats draven, you are the supreme ruler of the universe...but cobain was a bigger, more talented artist then rose...and i'm sure that cobain wouldn't have tried a pitifull comeback like rose did...if he didn't create great music any more he would have retreated gracefully...i'd imagine...and axl is nothing without slash, while nirvana is nothing without cobain, he WAS nirvana...thread closed!

You really still have not learned to read yet have you? It’s really a sad thing. Gnr were just as big if not bigger in the early 90s than Led Zeppelin was in the 70s, I am sorry to say. Zeppelin didn’t play in front of 7 million people in a 3-year stretch. Again for album sales, gnr only really have 3 studio albums of original material plus an EP yet they sold over 60 million albums world wide, where as LZ had about 10 studio albums thus more albums sold. Do the math.

Also gnr did something zeppelin never did, they had two albums in the top 5 at the same time and gnr did it twice. Again gnr has the biggest selling debute album ever by a rock band 15m more than led zeppelins debute album.

Like I said before, you cannot just go by album sales, go by touring and all that other stuff you fail to look at. You are totally ignoring everything else oh but that is right, that wouldn’t make your argument valid now would it?
Bring up their touring, and the other stuff and you will see, but I am sure you will not since it would prove that I am correct.

You really have no clue how big guns n roses were when the albums dropped but that is ok its your ignorance.

I still find it funny that you lost terribly to your original argument and now you are trying to turn this into something else.

Yep it was failed, He headlined Rock n Rio III in 2001 the biggest fesivial in the world and was asked to do it again last year but didn't play it because BH left.

When Chinese Democracy comes out it will be huge, don't you worry. As for Axls pityful comeback, yet I guess selling out MSG in 15 mins and selling out other huge cities like boston and pitt is bad. And that was with no album or promotion. The fact is gnr sold more tix to their shows than VR has on their tours.

It will sell over 10m world wide without a problem.

draven, you are an a$$hole with some kind of Axl Rose fetish, go ahead and leave.

Next time you claim something make sure you can back it up. I am sorry I made a fool of you and the other guy for thinking nirvana was bigger than gnr.
