You just can't get away with that whole RnR excess thing these days. It doesn't suit the times. Whether we like it or not, todays cultural climate is far more compatible with a band like Radiohead than it is Radio Birdman.
I'm sure, as attitudes change, a band like GnR will re-emerge but, were they to try and break through today, they'd be laughed out of existence. Can you imagine a band getting anywhere putting out videos like ZZ Top were in the 80s? Well, maybe in some backwater, but they wouldn't be taken seriously anywhere else.
