Tournament of Rock, Championship Rd: Beatles vs. Guns 'n' Roses
And then there were two. Vote for the group you would go see if given the chance to see them in concert in their prime.

Tough choice. I'm still pissed that AC/DC didn't make it this far, and that Nirvana went over them... Nirvana!? Jeez.

Unfortunately, I'd wager that the Beatles don't have a chance in hell round these parts.

Even though they have had double-digit victories in every round before this one?

Yeah, but they haven't gone up against GnR. GnR seem to have a bigger following here than I would have imagined before this tournament.

I really think, I will have to move on from this board if G n R wins. I'm sure many of you will be happy, but I didn't like the people in High School that like G n R and other bands of that type back then nor do I think I would like them now.

This whole tournament is a sham so why not GnR? Neither of these bands should be here. Led Zeppelin should not have lost to the Beatles and AC/DC should not have lost to Nirvana, and CCR should not have lost to Pearl Jam. So that's why I have decided to vote GnR. Hopefully they win to make an even bigger mockery out of this horrendous finals matchup.

CCR absolutely should have lost to Pearl Jam.

Every time I look, Guns 'n' Roses loses a little ground. Maybe I should stop looking, seeing that they are only 1 vote ahead now.

So much of rock music after the Beatles was bands trying to emulate the Beatles that it is very hard for people who weren't alive then to understand just how new and different they were. I know it is hard for me. They're vanilla -- so ubiquitous that sometimes you forget just how great it tastes.

The Beatles sound like farm music. I don't like farm music. Now, where the fuck is my Akon CD?

Considering that it's impossible for a Beatles reunion, I'm going for them.

The guys who did "I wanna hold your hand" or the guys whose lead singer's stage name is an anagram for oral sex? You make the call.

Thanks heavens that, at the very least, a rock legend ended up winning this thing.
I cant believe anybody would bust on Beatles lyrics, when this is the poetry that makes up GNR's possibly greatest hit: Welcome To The Jungle Welcome to the jungle We got fun 'n' games We got evrything you want Honey we know the names We are the people that can find Whatever you may need If you got the money honey We got your disease Chorus: In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees I wanna watch you bleed Welcome to the jungle We take it day by day If you want it you're gonna bleed But it's the price you pay And you're a very sexy girl That's very hard to please You can taste the bright lights But you won't get them for free In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Feel my, my serpentine I, I wanna hear yous-cream Welcome to the jungle It gets worse here evryday Ya learn ta live like an animal In the jungle where we play If you got a hunger for what you see You'll take it eventually You can have anything you want But you better not take it from me Chorus And when you're high you never Ever want to come down, YEAH! You know where you are You're in the jungle baby You're gonna die In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Feel my, my serpentine In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your It's gonna bring you down Ha! At least the Beatles wrote their lame shitty lyrics like 40 years ago and then progressed beyond them . . . .  |

I can't believe that the farm music done by the Beatles actually qualifies as "rock."

If only 'Chinese Democracy' had been released, how the voting might have gone differently.

"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" is a boring-ass song. This tournament shows exactly why I don't support a playoff system for Division I-A football.
