Sure Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert can play but does anybody care? The answer is hell no, because Mr Big was opening for everybody not headlining like Guns and Roses. I saw them open for RUSH on the Presto tour and Mr Big was lame. They are gymnastic guitar players, i don't feel anything for the music when i hear it, except sick to my stomach.

Yes, they are lame, but no more or less than Guns n' Roses. Guns N' Roses might be overhyped to hell but they're still just a carbon copy generic hair rock band.
I also agree with Mr.Big being boring, but they share the same traits of all blando pop-rock, and at least they have ONE thing going for them. Guns N' Roses rises off the illusion of Slashes overhyped guitar work being somehow beyond ordinary when, even compared to less popular hair metal bands, it isn't.
