:laughing:

Naturally in 1987 I heard Appetite For Destruction & thought to myself
" Hmmm this is OK but in 17 years time a really average band will come along , maybe called Wolfmother and take away all it's impact".

System of a Down... (hangs head in shame)

One of the reasons for Appetite For Destruction's success was because they didn't sound like the rest of the hair metal sh*t that was around at the time.

Ufo.
Michael Schenker is one of the best guitarist imo.

Black Sabbath. Only metal band I still really listen to besides Led Zeppelin

[~~Wishing~~~]

Maybe Sabbath. Kiss in the late 70's? Or WASP and Motley Crue in '83. The mid '80's was when, in my opinion, "metal" first started. Metallica, Judas Priest, Slayer, Megadeth and Iron Maiden brought heavy metal to life.

Those are just some off the top of my head. A band using an orchestra doesn't make them original, nor do pianos or acoustic guitars. Guns and Roses were different than hair metal banRAB for some reasons, but the reasons you listed weren't them. Really the guitarist comment is only a valid one but I'm sure there were other hair metal banRAB with guys who could solo well.
