listen to November rain...
if the solo alone doesn't blow you away, i don't know what else in this world will...
They also did knockin on heaven's door MUCH better than Bob whatshisface, who doesn't have a voice for $hit...
I don't know what Mokko's beef with GnR is.

They were one of THE major band in the 80's.

Edit: I can't find anything on Phlabbit on You Tube. Maybe he's still working on it. 🙄

You have GOT to be joking - they absolutely massacred Knockin' on Heavens Door.

Guns&Roses were as bad as Abba. Rubbish. 😠

I'm not fond of their version of Knocking, but they have made some 'classics':

Welcome to the jungle
Civil War
Paradise city
You could be mine
Don't cry.

Surely Louis Louis by Motorhead is worth a mention. It has a certain character - always a popular cover. Also you need to take a walk in to the world of Blues but just go back a few years to Freddy King. Then again one of my buddies are into your 80s stuff. As a muso their was some real off the wall stuff going off in the 80s. REO Speedwagon, Meat Loaf etc.

Hey Spongy,
The reason most people don't like them is because of his godawful singing voice.
My advice to Guns and Roses - get a new singer. 🙂

What kind of sick freak are you?!?
you get your chance on a public forum to give GnR some advice, and you give them something trivial like getting a new singer?
BAH!
they need something much more important...
how about, oh , i dont know...
SHOWING UP/PERFORMING AT A CONCERT?!?!
