Guns N' Roses DVD promotion: “Appetite for Democracy”

Congratulations to the WikiBrother who chose Guns N' Roses' "Appetite for Democracy"! Check out the winning answer:

Guns N' Roses and Buckcherry share similarities not only in the subgenre of Hard Rock, but also in attitude, influences… Both are clearly products of bands like Aerosmith, perhaps the fathers of "Farofa Hard Rock," of the sexual appeal in the band's musical content. Both bands know what they're doing, or at least they want to convince you of it.

Guns N' Roses emerged at a time when attitude was on the decline; musicians in the 80s were only interested in wearing makeup, lipstick, dating as many women as possible, and in their free time…singing! But then Guns N' Roses came along, a band that, despite Glam influences like the aforementioned Aerosmith or Hanoi Rocks, had a Punk attitude in their way of acting; they weren't concerned with looking good (quite the opposite), they were concerned with making Rock N' Roll, and they proved it by releasing "Appetite For Destruction". We can relate this same context lived and created by Guns N' Roses to the context of Buckcherry in the 90s; the band emerged in 1995, Grunge was fashionable, dressing as simply as possible and acting in the most unpretentious way was the goal of this sub-genre, but then Buckcherry emerged, the "Guns N' Roses of the 90s"; wow, they were the opposite of all that, and they made a point of showing it to the public. In 2002, the band as it was known broke up. Many may have thought that hard rock attitude had ended too, but no! In 2005 they returned! Another band, it's true, but with the same name and even more attitude!

Hard Rock is alive in both bands, a "touch" of Glam too, the Punk attitude is also there (maybe not so much in the case of Guns N' Roses currently, anyway...), these are the similarities between the two groups. Long live Hard Rock, long live Glam Rock, long live Rock! – Pedro Guilherme
