Tournament of Rock, Championship Rd: Beatles vs. Guns 'n' Roses

[Kodos]

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.

[korme]

COME ON GnR!

[Neon_Chaos]

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

[Groundhog]

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

[Kodos]

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

[Groundhog]

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.

[astrosfan64]

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.

:D

[Jas_lov]

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.

[Mr. Wednesday]

CCR absolutely should have lost to Pearl Jam. :D

[Big Fo]

Two of the most overrated bands of all time in the final, well played FOFC.

lol - okay

[hoopsguy]

CCR absolutely should have lost to Pearl Jam. :D

+1

[Lorena]

Ugh, I don't even wanna look

Eh... I wouldn't underestimate them.

Yup, we's hardcore fans yo :)

Agree on everything you said jasLOV

:D

We were not all like that... if you saw me in high school you'd never guess I was into that kind of music. Actually, if you saw me now you wouldn't know what kind of music I was into.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... thanks man, that so made me laugh :D

Ugh, I don't even wanna look

Okay, it's not as bad as I thought.

COME ON GnR!

YES!! GO GNR!!!

[Pumpy Tudors]

where billy joel at

[Kodos]

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.

[SnDvls]

all tied up with my vote @ 26 all

[chesapeake]

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.

[Pumpy Tudors]

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

[Lorena]

Ahh shit, Beatles have the lead :(

[Lorena]

I'm gonna have to sign in as one of my alts to make this closer.

[Lorena]

Yes I am joking... I have no alts.

[larrymcg421]

Ugh, please not Guns n Roses. What a disaster.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Do the Beatles know where they are? They're in the jungle, baby!

[Lorena]

No, they're lost in the Garden of Eden.

SUCK ON THAT!!

[cartman]

I'm so glad
That she's my little girl.
She's so glad
She's telling all the world
That
We've been dancing
with Mr. Brownstone.
He's been knocking
He won't leave me alone.

[Pumpy Tudors]

No, they're lost in the Garden of Eden.
Why you edit? I had a perfect reply ready for your original post. :(

[Qwikshot]

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

[Lorena]

Why you edit? I had a perfect reply ready for your original post. :(

fixed

[Pumpy Tudors]

No, they're lost in the Garden of Eden.

SUCK ON THAT!!
I find this post strangely arousing.

[Kang]

Slowly getting out of reach for the gunners. I was hoping somebody could beat the stupid Beatles... :(

[vtbub]

</lurk>

Hah. Go Beatles.

<lurk>

[timmynausea]

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.

[Maple Leafs]

Well, what a dull ending to this whole exercise...

[boberot]

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 . . . .
;)

[Kang]

The Beatles can't hope to match Chinese Democracy for thoughtful lyrics.

[Pumpy Tudors]

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

[SnDvls]

stick a fork in GNR this one is over

[Groundhog]

Someone's got GnR in a coma.

[Raiders Army]

gnr

[Lorena]

Okay, it's not as bad as I thought.

It's worse :(

[Kang]

It feels like the last couple of presidential elections. That sinking feeling that things have gone tragically wrong.

[cartman]

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

:D

[watravaler]

"A Day In the Life" under the influence of pretty much any drug makes the Beatles a fine choice....

[Lorena]

Someone's got GnR in a coma.

Hey man, that's one hell of a song!

Oh and I don't need a poll to tell me GnR is the best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wwwwhyyyyyy don't ya give it a reeeeeeeeest?! ;)

[ISiddiqui]

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.

The hold your hand guys also smoked up right before meeting the Queen of England. That completely beats anything "Axel" can come up with.

[Kang]

Actually, it's "Axl"

[Pumpy Tudors]

"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.

But it was BCS-like voting that produced the bad result!

[ISiddiqui]

Whatever.

[Pumpy Tudors]

But it was BCS-like voting that produced the bad result!
It was the "playoffs" allowing shit like the Beatles that gave them to opportunity to get this far in the first place!

[ISiddiqui]

In a regular season the Beatles would have ran away with the prize much earlier. Start a ranking, you'll see.

beatles looking good in preseason

[ISiddiqui]

And regular season, biatch!

[MIJB#19]

I feel kinda weird about this final. I voted Beatles, because I think I'd rather watch them than Guns 'n' Roses, yet I would never think of the Beatles when I say rock band, whereas I'd consider Guns 'n' Roses as a text book example.

[Lorena]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!! You guys are cracking me up!!! :D :D

GnR still rulez

[Maple Leafs]

It's days like this that push me over the brink.
