I have already proven that gnr were bigger than nirvana in the 90s. Gnr sold more albums and they sold out bigger shows, it’s that simple. The only thing that nevermind and inutero did was show kids that could not sing nor play guitar could have a hit album. Nirvana set back music to this day.

As for TSI that album was just a fun album the band did to cover songs that influenced them. As for their live shows with BH were awful that is just your opinion and most people would disagree. Since most of the shows got great reviews and the people that went to them most liked the show save the people that cannot deal with slash quitting the band. Most reviews even the loder review said if you closed your eyes you wouldnt even know it was a different version of guns n roses playing up there.

The new gnr songs like IRS and madagascar are by far better than anything on the radio right now.
