Even with a new album they're nothing more than a band riding on the success of ONE album and one song with a stupid whistle in it after.
Who gives a damn about Civil War, You Could Be Mine or November Rain?
I dunno but they're a huge band, the BACK AND BLACK of the late 1980s.

Sure, Appetite is the big one, but a number of other good songs through the years - "Yesterdays" being a favorite.
Izzy was pretty much the "Keith" of GNR (although Slash gets the press) and most of the soul left with him.

Maybe a bit harsh
Appetite, Lies & the Illusions albums are all great albums. Chinese Democracy has its moments but it’s a different sound to the original band. They were a killer band from 86-93 after that it’s been a wasted career.
It’s not a track I like but November Rain has almost 2 billion views, so someone gives a damn.

The two ILLUSION albums are not great by any means. Even edited down to one album proper (6-12 songs) is a challenge.
APPETITE? Yes.
November Rain. Two vagillion views does not mean they all watched it. And it still doesn't change the fact that it's a miserable cheesy song!

Just listened to/ watched "Yesterdays" as posted above and thought that Charlie Watts would have taken this song to another level.
I like the song, but that GnR-drummer has no swing at all...

Yeah, Sorum was a bit plodding. He had none of the skip bounce and swing Adler had. The bands sound changed after Adler.

I have absolutely zero idea why this article is coming out 2 years after this happened. Seems like they missed the time this would have been relevant to the few GNR fans that cared about it. There isn't any new information in the article so not that its not a good article, I just can't tell why Rolling Stone are two years behind the ball on it. They run out of things to write about?

Matt Sorum is a fantastic rigid drummer - zero swing.
