It took a while for GNR to break but I don't recall it taking two years. IIRC, it was 1988 when they began to take off and sell big units. "Sweet Child O' Mine" really broke them.

'88 when Sweet Child hit radio they blew up. I remember seeing the 'Live At The Ritz' on MTV in early '89, and that was about the time they were becoming a true phenomenon.

so maybe that's why I come across as completely acerbic. I've got musical blue balls.
It's a bitch.

Seven Mary Three and Days of the New were my favorite hilarious copycat bands from that era. I feel like they go under-appreciated for paving the way for Nickelback and Creed.

Actually, the deal with Days of the New is that Travis wanted to be "different" and have no electric guitars allowed, ever. Then he went on to have substance abuse issues, fired the band (which became Tantric, with a new singer), then put out an electronic record.
It's a shame because he was a talented dude but a complete train wreck. Oh, and he had the stage presence of a can of soup. |

If you go see GnR and drink enough beer, you won't give a shit who's in the band. They sounded great in KC.

Hey Dane, whatever happened to that Rockstar Supernova show on CBS? My wife and I really enjoyed that season with Tommy Lee and Newsted.
