Surprising! He doesn't look a day under 75. Guy's lucky to have lived this long, honestly.

Plastic surgery has helped (i suppose, lol)...tho he hasn't devolved physically like Mickey Rourke, so I guess he's doing ok.

He was a dick head back in the day. Probably still is.

More overrated lead singer Axl Rose or Vince Neil?

Vince, for sure.

Plus, GNR is just a better band talent wise.

Why is one over rated?

Both were great front men for great bands. They kicked ass in the day.

Motley Crue was outstanding and actually held up longer than GNR because Axl was psychotic. GNR however did produce probably the best album of the 1980's.

Admittedly, I was never a Crue fan, but everything else you said is 100% fact.

The fact that the members of GNR thought Scott Weiland was less-crazy than Axl says a whole lot about Axl.

I could argue that either way but it all comes down to personal preference. I've seen them both multiple times "live" and I prefer Crue. Going to see them again in May (assuming no cancellation) in Nashville along with Def Leppard, Poison (meh), and Joan Jett.

Poison is great live now. Saw them at Rocklahoma a couple of years ago. Saw Def Lep there too.

I saw the Crue in Southaven a few years. Vinces vocals were gone then but still a kick ass show.

Booed his ass off the stage at the Mississippi Coliseum in '86. Didn't know who the hell GNR was then, but they were horrible.

There was nothing like Crue live in their heyday. I saw them in at the Omni in ATL in either '86 or '87 -and it was flat out insane. Sex, drugs, and rock & roll - sex in the aisles, drugs everywhere, and r&r blasting from the stage. I was 14 and unprepared.

This is one of Spielberg's best films that no one seems to know or talk about. It's so good.

Even in his prime his vocals were not great. Hell the doubled or tripled tracked his vocals in the studio plus used affects like reverb just to makes his vocals sound bigger.

It's top 5 no doubt and probably in the top 1-3 but AC/DC's Back in Black is right up there with AfD.

Hell's Bells
Shoot to Thrill
Have a Drink On Me
Back in Black
You Shook Me All Night Long
Rock 'n Roll ain't noise pollution

Another excellent album from the 80's. If I had to pick a top 5 for the 80's, it would be:

1. AFD- GNR
2. As Nasty As They Wanna Be- 2 Live Crew
3. Purple Rain- Prince
4. Back in Black- AC/DC
5. Kick- INXS

Honorable Mention to :

Straight Outa Compton
Shout At The Devil
Synchronicity
Pyromania
Licensed to Ill
1984

If you haven't seen their Netflix movie, "The Dirt" it's a must watch for any of you 80's metal heads. WARNING: The first 5-10 minutes is extremely graphic.

Here's the trailer. It's damn good. Machine Gun Kelly is awesome as Tommy Lee.
