I beg to differ, I know not of you or any of you or where anyone comes from, but to me, probably trouble waiting to happen, Guns N' Roses saved music with Slash's tone, Axl's voice and their songs.
The other problem with bands were sounding poppy, with power chords and big hair and then modern 80's guitars...
I mean, Slash was right, who else but him back then used one?
I guess all those bands that lived the times back then all thought they were too good for a Gibson Les Paul/wanted something easier to play/wanted a different sound than the tried and tested and true, who knows? Who cares?
I like Guns N' Roses.
(love that guitar)...
