I agree that G n' R didn't foreshadow grunge musically, but created the vacuum it filled when they put the final nail in the coffin of glam metal.

Sorry, I ninja edited before you posted.  Let me go on record and say you aren't hallucinating-- I did say GNR didn't foreshadow grunge.

All the music I have on file isn't metal or recorded I used a program called Guitar Pro to lay down some supporting music around songs I wrote on guitar, but I have no idea how to share them. Sad face again.

They were great at finesse, but I like my metal to have an element of bulldozer in it at times, and they couldn't do that that I've heard.

Queensryche circa 1985 was considerably grittier. They really went progressive-metal after that.

Sure, Rage for Order was the last album of theirs I bought, and even then they were pretty slick and polished.

I was thinking "The Warning".

For interested parties, this is my favorite GnR concert on youtube:

It's the appetite for destruction era so they don't play november rain or any other songs from the Use Your Illusion albums, but it's still great, the performance was amazing. I try to find more concerts before 1991 but it's complicated and the quality sucks.

I gotta add this.  Probably my favorite song from Nirvana's unplugged album, which IMO is one of the best unplugged albums ever.  Listen to the whole thing for absolute goose bumps.  I mean. . . goddamn!

Love that song. I could listen to it on repeat for hours. Just raw emotion.

I just wouldn't put Nirvana on a hard rock thread You know, Alice In Chains would be ok because they can easily be classified as metal, but Nirvana is so punkish

But since we're talking about Nirvana, here's two songs I really like

5:07 is magic for me.  It's like zombie Kurt just woke up from the dead and he's ready for blood.
