Whats Your Fucking Point Really?????
You must be old considering you think that at 24 your still a kid and the fact you want to rant about the good'ol days.
Yes they were good, but look around you buddy, it's 2006, a couple months back we didnt even know if axl was alive, now he's appearing on F1 Race Coverage.
Yes we, it is good if people like and Appreciate Old music ( Your Example Betthoven, and also one of my favourite bands The Beatles), But what would be better if people liked the music scene that is happening now, not ten years ago. Yes I Know, there are only a handful of decent bands stickin out of this Indie and Emo Takeover Era, but would people in 1985 choose to listen to Jimi Hendrix all night, or go out and see Metallica at their Greatest? (Not like they would it would be their pinnacle but still).
I Suggest you to things mate
1. Become a Follower of GNR And Accept both era's of Guns N Roses
2. Crawl back into your shell and listen to Old music.
