GnR were totally a gateway band for me, I got into them when I was like 12/13 and they were one of the first rock bands I got into because I grew up on country music and I got pretty sick of that.
While my tastes have evolved a good deal in the past decade they're still one of those gateway bands who I enjoy listening to today. I can still appreciate simple, bluesy rock n roll and GnR were one of the best bands in that category.
I do like that they branched out more with the UYI albums which I think are very underated. I honestly think there's only a few duffers on each one but there are songs that are definitely among the best work they have done.
