Im not sure how you can quantify a song that is 50 years old as "played out". How is it not supposed to be? Also, Ramble On is one of the best rock songs of all time.

LZ isn't "far superior" to GnR. That's nonsense. I was going to try to say how different they are, but if you really look at them, they are quite similar. Both pioneers of their time. Vocals are similar. Long songs. Short songs. Rock songs. Softer songs. Stage presence and concerts look to have been the height of their time. Drug habits killed both bands. Egos destroyed their lead singers.

I would be interested to hear why you feel so strongly about LZ being far superior. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not saying you're right either.

Part of the genius of GnR was how fast they did it. How completely reckless yet successful they were. Illusions 1 and 2 and Appetite are iconic. That’s 3. You mentioned 5 for LZ. Yeah they lasted longer but there wasn’t as many destructive things in their era. LZ wasn’t quite as reckless as GnR that’s for sure, yet GnR are in the same conversation still... Plant and Page are icons and always will be. But so will Slash and Axl. Not debatable. The lineups changes just speaks heavily to the genius of Slash and Axl. *even if Axl is a big a-hole hahaha*

You are a huge LZ fan and can rattle everything off, but GnR fans can do the same.

They are very similar in a lot of respects. And they are also different. I think both of those facts made them what they each are and ultimately ended up being.
