There were incredible for the time. I swear we tried to learn about every song off of Appetite. We were usually too lazy to finish most of em though hehe. I think a lot of musicians aren't impressed if you're not playing in 13/8 time and sweep picking 16th notes at 250bpm. I like stuff that the average person can get in to, and GnR did a ton of that. Some of their later stuff was a bit bleh, but AFD cancels most of that out IMO. Lies was pretty cool too.
I love the look of those guitars but the Classic NT I had just didn't hang right when standing. I felt I was always pulling the neck up, and I felt I had to reach out to far when playing the first couple of frets.
