It's almost hard to believe this thread even exists. Look at that title - talk about baiting people into hating people! I wonder if the internet existed in the 70's we would've had forums decrying the solo careers of the individual Beatles (and no, I'm not comparing any of these bands to that band either). Sure, while a few critics blasted certain members (not naming names here) for putting out an "inferior product" to the legendary band they were once a part of I never saw how they could even be compared. Face the facts folks, VR arose from the ashes of G'n'R (I have a problem even considering the band as it existed post-Illusion especially since they produced ZERO studio work to be G'n'R but that's a whole other argument). The members of VR were smart enough to ask Scott to join them and it gave (some of) us fans a chance to see him in action on the large stage while the great STP took a nap. Glad to see STP wide awake again and maybe, just maybe, we'll get some action from G'n'R as well one day. Personally I'm a fan of all 3 bands and many others but to compare really isn't fair as they are (all) DIFFERENT bands altogether.
