everything they did, their song writing especially was just a huge cliche of every popular metal and rock band before them, you could almost subdivide the songs into 'the Aerosmith scream part, the deep purple classical keyboard break.
Like I said, I'm not saying they were bad, they were just so wholly unoriginal and yet took themselves so effing seriously, if they'd done the Kiss thing and just hammed it up for the punters I would have probably liked them, it didn't help that Nirvana came along a year or two later and actually were all the things that GnR seemed to pretend to be.
